5. Kevin Steen
On the surface Kevin Steen seems represents everything that CHIKARA isn't. He's not an over-the-top character, he's a brawler plain and simple, and seems incredibly out of place in a CHIKARA ring. It's exactly those reasons that made his feud with Eddie Kingston so great. Kingston and Steen are comparable wrestlers, they're brash, tough and hard-hitting and their feud was largely based on Steen's disrespect of CHIKARA. He couldn't understand what Eddie Kingston was doing there, and mocked CHIKARA's Grand Championship as worthless. The feud spilled over into a huge CHIKARA v Ring of Honor torneo cibernetico
, a 20 man elimination tag match where you have to wait your turn to be the next in, and the final particpants face each to crown a winner, regardless of team allegiances. Along with Team ROH, Steen created a villain the CHIKARA fans could rally against in order to defend the company they loved and his matches with Kingston legitimised The War King's championship reign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBzhqIIBzrs
