Torneo Cibernetico Match 2018

[8.0] "Wonderful showcase of the best and strangest elements of late-era CHIKARA. The eliminations were largely creative and well-paced, from Boomer Hatfield's stubborn refusal to tag Hallowicked to the shocking (and rule-bending) mutilation of the Proletariat Boar, to Nick Gage bulldozing CHIKARA icons with Chokebreakers. The match consistently blended comedy, nostalgia, and brutal physicality without ever losing its competitive edge. The internal dynamics of the CHIKARA squad were the backbone of the story; Boomer and Hallowicked's tensions, the Night Shift reunion eliminating Milonas, and Hallowicked's moral slide culminating in a blatant low blow to Gage. On the Beyond side, Galeone's dominance, Milonas' arrogance, and Dickinson's grim determination gave the opposing team a clear identity as well. The closing stretch, Dasher Hatfield battling through fatigue against Silver and then Dickinson, provided emotional heft, framing his eventual loss as a significant character beat in a season short on unifying narrative threads. Dickinson's triumph as the first non-CHIKARA wrestler to win a Cibernetico added an unexpected but satisfying historical footnote. While the broader season lacked the thematic focus to fully justify making this the show's namesake match, the Cibernetico itself was sharp, engaging, and performed with real pride by everyone involved. As the final entry before CHIKARA's closure, it stands as a strong, bittersweet capstone to one of the promotion's signature match types. also Nick Gage in CHIKARA wtf ****"

[9.0] "Great cibernetico match right here, I always enjoy these kinds of matches with loads of people interacting and having fun moments. Really nice to see UMB back, and some really fun guest talents like Silver, Milonas, and of course the shocker in Nick Gage working CHIKARA."

[9.0] "A fantastic Cibernetico and a really great showcase of a lot of talent and two companies in the midst of a pseudo-feud. How often do you get to see indie legends like Ultramantis Black and Nick Gage interact? How often do you see a crowd in terror because Nick Gage cut the tail off a boar? What a delight. Big ups must go to Boomer Hatfield, who delivered a fantastic showing. Wherever he ends up after the recent revelations about Chikara and its dissolution will be lucky to have him."
