  • Is Chikara Dead?
    chikaralives.wordpress.com Is Chikara Dead? And If So Who Killed It? 1 chikaralives.wordpress.com Author’s note: this document is heavily, heavily indebted to the work of numerous Chikara fans across the web who are trying to piece together the truth about the company’s fate. Robert Newsom of the Atomic Elbow and Mandible Claw’s Danielle Matheson were the ones who first brought the conspiracy into the light in their Crazypants Chikara podcast. Since then the likes of Ole Wrestling, the Chikara Forum and the Chikara thread on the 420Chan wrestling forum have been invaluable sources of information. I am not trying to take the credit for all of the info you’ll find on the following pages. Rather I’m trying to compile all the facts and theories into one handy guide to make it as easy as possible for people to catch up on what’s going on and see what others are saying. I’d hazard a guess that at most 15% of this is my own thoughts and unearthed data so again: all credit and thanks goes to my fellow truth seekers. Please go to the links section at the end and check out their blogs, forums, podcasts etc. This guide is also a celebration of the incredibly, insanely detailed story Chikara’s currently telling. It’s truly a work of art, something that has never been seen before in the world of wrestling and will probably never be seen again. I encourage everyone to get involved in this unique game Quackenbush and co.

We understand that every person leaves a unique legacy and that the greatest tribute is not grief but gratitude for a life well lived. We are privileged to have been entrusted by so many families over the years. This Distinguished Residents Book features the biographies and photos of some of those individuals whose legacies have impacted our lives 2 and helped to shape our culture and our community. It has been created to honor their memory and to inspire generations by their extraordinary accomplishments, tenacity and philanthropy. There are stars whose brightness is visible on earth although they have long burned out. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world though they are no longer among the living. These lights are particularly bright when the night is dark. They light the way for us all. Hannah Szenesh HILLSIDE MEMORIAL PARK IRVING AARONSON (1895 – 1963) From his start as an 11-year-old movie theater pianist, Irving Aaronson became a Big Band leader in the 1920s and ‘30s.

He later worked for MGM as a music coordinator for “Arrivederci Roma” (1957), “This Could Be the Night” (1957), Irving Aaronson “Meet Me in Las Vegas” (1956) and as music advisor for “The Merry Widow” (1952).
