Chris Hero Megapost

[Illinois Smith]

I've been trying to upload some new stuff all week but, seeing as I'm between internet accounts right now and therefore have to leech off my neighbour's wireless, it's not working out so well. Lucky for you I have some random stuff on my gigasize account that's about to expire, so have at it.

Seeing as how huge these things usually are around here I'm a tad hesitant to call this a megapost, but it just might grow into one! If you want to post some matches of your own, I'll gladly edit them in here.

A first round match from PWG's huge tournament:
PWG's Battle of Los Angeles 2006
Chris Hero vs Genki Horiguchi (http://www.gigasize.com/get.php/224808/Chris_Hero_vs_Genki_Horiguchi_BOLA_2006_Night_2.av i)

The Tag Title bout from what many people call RoH's best show ever:
RoH Glory by Honor V Night 2
RoH World Tag-Team Title Match: The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli) vs Austin Aries & Roderick Strong (c) (http://www.gigasize.com/get.php/233037/Kings_of_Wrestling_vs_Aries__Strong_RoH_Glory_by_H onor_V_Night_2.avi)

RoH vs CZW was my feud of the year by a landslide. This is the match which really kicked said feud into overdrive.
RoH: The 100th Show
Team RoH (Samoa Joe, BJ Whitmer & Adam Pearce vs Team CZW (Chris Hero, Super Dragon & The Necro Butcher) (http://www.gigasize.com/get.php/246719/per_Dragon_Necro_Butcher_vs_Team_RoH_Samoa_Joe_BJ_ Whitmer_Adam_Pearce_RoH_The_100th_Show.avi)

Hot on the heels of the mask vs. hair match between Icarus & Jigsaw comes a chapter in the feud that spanned most of this year for Chikara. Includes some superb pre-match comedy and tons of sweet, sweet trios action.
Chikara: Return Of The Son Of The International Invasion Of International Invaders - 1st Stage
The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero, Icarus & Gran Akuma) vs Mike Quackenbush, Shane Storm & Jigsaw (http://www.gigasize.com/get.php/224671/KOW_Hero_Icarus_Akuma_vs_Quack_Jigsaw_Shane_Storm. avi)

One night later, Quack & Storm challenged the champs in a non-title match:
Chikara: Return Of The Son Of The International Invasion Of International Invaders - 2nd Stage
The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli) vs Mike Quackenbush & Shane Storm (http://www.gigasize.com/get.php/223193/Quackenbush__storm_VS_Kings_of_wrestling_Chikara_s tage_2.avi)

From last year's Tag World Grand Prix, somewhat of a dream match of mine. Didn't disappoint at all.
Chikara Tag World Grand Prix 2005 semi-finals
The Superfriends (Chris Hero & Mike Quackenbush) vs Team Osaka Pro (Ebessan & Billy Ken Kid) (http://www.gigasize.com/get.php/233368/The_Superfriends_vs_Team_Osaka_Pro_TWGP_2005.avi)

Nah, the last 5 matches (ie the ones ripped by someone who knows what he's doing / ie not me) are actually quite modestly sized.

They're all pretty awesome but for their own reasons.

Cannon vs Hero is the culmination of a nearly 2-year long feud ... It started out when Cannon was a virtual nobody outside of Minneapolis. It's a wicked brawl but more about supremely stiff strikes and submissions than weapon shots.

The Cage of Death match on the other hand is an epic conclusion to the CZW vs RoH feud, which pretty much every site has on the top of their lists for feud of the year. It has a face-meltingly hot crowd, great drama, insane spots galore ... Just a crazy, well pulled-off brawl where everything clicks. It helps if you've seen some of the matches that came before it but it's not necessary as such.

KoW vs Milano & Skayde is a fine lucha exhibition where Hero and Claudio really showed how good they have become at the rudo side of things. A great tournament final that's heavy on the lucha.

Gold Bond Mafia vs Black T-Shirt Squad is not the best match in the world (it would probably be 10 times as wesome today, since Punk, Hero & Cabana got so much better in the last 5 years). Still, a fine trios match and if you like Chikara, it's nice to see how far they've come since then.

Hero vs Styles is one of those indy dream matches and it delivers. Probably the least spotty Styles match this side of his bouts with American Dragon. Nice build and a hot finish, the kind of match that made IWA famous.
