Gorilla Monsoon used to say that when fans packed into the arenas, they'd be "literally hanging from the rafters." I forgave that then because I was a dumb kid. I forgive it in hindsight because Monsoon was so dang affable and avuncular, so how was I going to rag on him for the misuse of a singular word in the English language? While the fans never really hung from rafters, in this match, Frightmare totally did. A lot has changed since this time. Claudio Castagnoli is long gone. Ares is off being a dad in Las Vegas. Their stable is but a memory in the annals of Chikara, the only real remnant of it kept alive in an abusive relationship between Tim Donst and Jakob Hammermeier. Los Campeonatos de Parejas are in the hands of two cah-raaaazy Canucks. The only thing that remains the same is that Hallowicked and Frightmare are still together. But thanks to the magic of YouTube, you can relive those days. Watch part of them here.
