In a surprise move, Chikara Pro is getting into videogame business with Rudo Resurrection (trailer posted above). I’m guessing most of you haven’t heard of Chikara. It’s an indie-wrestling organization featuring some truly outstanding talent, including one of my personal favorite, Claudio Castagnoli.
You’d think that Chikara would try to get some television or better Internet-video exposure before delving into games, right? While I love the idea of playing as Claudio in a videogame, the whole thing seems highly unorthodox — to use a Jesse “The Body” Ventura phrase — to me. The game’s site doesn’t say what platforms Rudo Resurrection will be available for, but I’m guessing it will be a downloadable game or a Facebook title. I don’t think THQ — with its stellar writing in the SmackDown vs. Raw series — has anything to worry about just yet.
Are any of you interested in a Chikara wrestling game?
