Well, I finally did it. I’ve been telling D that I was going to make a tribute video of him for a year or better. It took me forever because of the learning curve and my lack of free time. That said, I found four hours today to sit down and do it.

This is my first music video, so please be gentle in the comments. I hope everyone likes it

It was announced today, by Chikara, that Colin Olsen- known in the WWE as Colin Delaney- has been signed to a WWE contract. From Chikara’s MySpace page:

Ahoy there, CHIKARAmigos. Some bittersweet news to start off KING OF TRIOS week, as Colin D. Olsen, one half of the “Feel Good Tag Team of the Decade”, The Olsen Twins, has been offered the chance of a lifetime working for some obscure indy known as World Wrestling Entertainment. Being no fool (other than a dancing fool, of course) Colin has taken the opportunity to make obscene amounts of money and reach worldwide superstardom in just a few minutes each week, and as a result is off of the CHIKARA roster effective immediately. Unfortunately for his brother, Jimmy Jam Olsen, and their burly protector, “Big Rig” Brodie Lee, this leaves them a man down for KING OF TRIOS with just FIVE DAYS before the tournament. Not wanting to risk ending up a man short, our vaunted Director of Fun, Mr. Leonard F. Chikarason, has announced another RANDOM DRAWING to determine their partner, effectively destroying any advantage the Olsens and Brodie would have had over the first time trio of Cheech, Cloudy, and Dragon Gate star m.c.KZ.

So, congrats Colin! You made it! It was a very well deserved signing. I wish him the best of luck in “the E.”

What strikes me as odd, though, is that WWE isn’t going to let him work King of Trios, this weekend, for Chikara. Normally, WWE lets their new guys finish all of their current bookings. It just seems odd to make him back out five days before the show.

I know you guys probably love Colin Delaney getting squashed on ECW, but did you know he got his start in Chikara as Colin Olsen? Not only is he an awesome bump machine, but he and his twin brother have some great offense. Check out this great video of some of their highlights.

Look out, Briscoes. There’s a new tag team on the scene that’s going to take your place as the best tag team in 2008. That’s right! It’s Chikara’s own Los Ice Creams: El Hijo Del Ice Cream and Ice Cream Jr.

I hope you guys enjoy this great Los Ice Creams video I found today.

Here’s the latest in the Botchamania series. Lots of blown spots, several recent ones. I really can’t get enough of these. I also love seeing that Moscow of Chikara got included in this one.

Sure, you can watch the Kurt Angle spectacular for $30 tonight, or you can save $27.01 and spend $2.99 on Chikara’s latest Pod-Per-View.

What’s a pod-per-view? It’s a Chikara creation. They put together a special that’s a little over 30 minutes long, featuring full length matches and other special content. This month features matches like Sara Del Rey vs Daizee Haze and Linse Derado and Jigsaw vs Los Ice Creams. Both matches are off the hook, great.

How can you get this pod-per-view, you ask? If you go to chikarapodcast.com and click the link to order over Paypal. You use Paypal to send $2.99 to Wiggly (of Smart Wrestling Fan) and the good folks at Chikara, and they send you a link, login, and password to download the video file.

Take my advice, the Chikara pod-per-view is way better than anything TNA can do tonight. Save your cash, and support a better product.
