We brought this upon ourselves. We asked for run ins. And it was going so well. Good burther Tom Green called in to talk the latest WWE/Scooby Doo crossover. Then equally good bruther Kevin Ford called in, then also equally good bruther Dave Puenete joined the fracas and things happened. Messy things. After Dark has been changed forever.
Leonard F. Chikarason is joined by Tom Green (not THAT Tom Green) to discuss CIRCUS SCOOPZ (the parallels to pro wrestling are astounding). Then, Todd Rowker discusses his first ever CHIKARA experience as he attended Night 3 of King of Trios 2015.
This week, LEONARD F. CHIKARASON (wrestling commentator – CHIKARA, Absolute Intense Wrestling; podcaster – Weekly Longbox, Dadstractions) returns to the podcast and jumps down the Youtube rabbit hole! In this 90-minute conversation, we watch and comment on:
- That time the entire World Wrestling Federation came together to testify on behalf of The Iron Sheik in a misdemeanor assault trial - “Rowdy” Roddy Piper being kind of racist in 1986 - WWE Superstar Cesaro stopping time with a popular German folk dance - The originators of time travel in pro wrestling, The New Breed - The Prince Of Wrestling cuts a promo that none of us are old enough to listen to

DISCLAIMER: This week’s episode suffers from momentary audio issues that have been found and fixed for next week’s episode.
Leonard F. Chikarason is a father, a beardsman, and my friend. We have an open, honest discussion about what’s been going on with CHIKARA and the Wrestling Is network of promotions over the past year and a half. From finding out when the CHIKARA shutdown was happening, the positives and negatives of how the Wrestling is promotions worked out, National Pro Wrestling Day 2014, and lively debate in-between – we cover practically all the ground that any fan of CHIKARA past or present would want covered and answer a lot of questions that have been asked and left unanswered since the beginning of 2013.
Between all of that earnestness, LFC and I spend so much time talking about some guy named Jerry, share concerns over the bronies documentary on Netflix, beg for people to buy Twitter followers, compare our local Chuck E. Cheese arcades, put out an alert for footage of the Indian version of WWE Smackdown, and find out that Philip Seymour Hoffman died on-air! FOLLOW HIM ON TWITTER – @LFChikarason!
