CHIKARA is an independent wrestling company that was founded in 2002 by wrestlers Mike Quackenbush and Reckless Youth. CHIKARA is a lucha-based promotion that features “family friendly” entertainment. This list of wrestlers who have set foot in a CHIKARA ring is impressive and includes Adrian Neville (Pac), Cesaro, Chris Hero, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, Luke Harper, Ricochet, Sami Zayn (El Generico), Sean Waltman and Tommy Dreamer and such international stars as the Great Sasuke, Johnny Saint, Jushin Thunder Liger, Kota Ibushi, La Parka, Milano Collection AT and Rey Bucanero.
