Mike Quackenbush (@MikeQuackenbush) is the founder and patriarch of "Chikara" (www.chikarapro.com). Chikara is one of the world's most popular and unique independent wrestling promotions. If you've never been a fan of pro wrestling, Chikara, more so than any other promotion, is likely to make you become one. They seamlessly include comedy and humor alongside their very bright and colorful wrestling styles and also bring crowds a level of storytelling similar to a graphic novel or a comic book. With Chikara you truely experience a form of "performance art" rarely seen in pro wrestling. Some of the WWE's biggest stars have wrestled for Chikara including: Cesaro (who Mike talks about at great length) CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Sami Zayn, Colt Cabana and more. We talk about Mike's brushes with the WWE as well as whether or not they may occasionally "borrow" material from him. We get into great detail about Mike's philosophies as an artist and we get a great look behind the scenes at all the hard work it takes to keep Chikara going. Also, we compare comedy and wrestling, answer fan questions and so much more.
