The Osirian Portal then made their entrance to the ring. This is Amasis’s first appearance since getting into an accident back in April. The crowd chanted welcome back as Amasis got on the mic.

Tursas came out with the heel ref to a chorus of boos from the crowd. Green Ant then came out to a nice reaction from the crowd.

CHIKARA has a nice entrance set and has been running commercials and vignettes during the show. I don’t see why DGUSA and ROH can’t do this regularly if they can to make these iPPVs feel more like a real PPV and less like a series of matches.

Star rating: (***) – Another solid match with a great storyline. Iron is so inspirational in the ring and the crowd hates Icarus with a passion. Icarus got the win after hitting a low blow, so I’m assuming this feud must continue.

Akuma went for a kick on Icarus, but he got out of the way and Akuma ended up hitting Iron by accident. Akuma checked on Iron and acted despondent as Icarus bailed to the back.

Overall score: (n/a) I missed part of the Young Bucks-Colony match, so I can’t give this show a final score yet, but this was one heck of an iPPV. CHIKARA mixed in video packages, graphics, and event commercials for their iPhone app making this feel like a big show and not a series of matches played out in front of a live crowd.

Every match here had a story or a purpose. The show featured some big returns throughout the night. I have to say I smiled, laughed, and even got emotional when Sweeney’s brother and friend Amy came out to present Kingston with the Grand Championship at the end of the show.

I can safely say you should definitely order this show if you missed it live. It felt like a huge show and the main event and post-match presentation are worth the price of admission alone. CHIKARA really did well tonight in their debut on iPPV putting on a fitting blow off show to end 2011.
