-CHIKARA PRESENTS-
-THE 14TH SHOW OF SEASON 11-
-CHIKARASAURUS REX-
-TRUE OR FALSE FACE-

[/color]


The show opens with Director of Fun Wink Vavvaseur coming to the ring to make some announcements. Some changes have been made to the card due to circumstances beyond his control. Colt Cabana has signed with World Wrestling Entertainment and has therefore pulled out of the six way match this evening. Upon hearing of this, Archibald Peck demanded that he be put into the spot so that he could not only end his undefeated streak, but he could do it by defeating five men. Wink has allowed this replacement, but if Peck does not win, he will be forced to leave Chikara. Thus Chikara's newest full time signee, Sami Callihan was left without an opponent, but Delirious also sent word that he will not be appearing alongside his Batiri tonight, so now Callihan will take on Kobald. This left 3.0 without opponents, therefore Wink inserted them into the match between The Colony and Los Ice Creams. Then Tursas sent word that he had done what needed to be done to his former stablemates, and thus Donst and Jakob were without opponents and have also been inserted into the match, so we now have a four corners tag team match with points in play.

However, this leaves just six matches on the show, so a seventh match has been scheduled with four men who are not under full time Chikara deals and that match is kicking off the show!!!

1) AR Fox vs Grizzly Redwood vs Adam Cole vs Arik Cannon

After a hot and heavy beginning with all four men changing moves, things slowed down until around the ten minute mark when Grizzly Redwood shocked Adam Cole with the Wood Chipper and covered him for the 1-2-3. Cole walked from the ring with a look of utter shock on his face. After another five minutes of action, Redwood did it again, drilling Arik Cannon with a Big Axe-Handle and covering him for three. AR Fox used his speed and high flying to confound the much smaller Redwood, but Grizzly somehow managed to do it one last time and planted Fox with the Wood Chipper. The Chikarmy went crazy as Redwood was granted his full time Chikara contract by Director of Fun Wink Vavvaseur. Redwood did laps around the ring slapping hands with the crowd.

2) Kobald vs Sami Callihan

This was about as one-sided of an affair as we have seen in Chikara in quite some time. Kobald started off with a series of chops, which led to Callihan destroying him with chops, kicks, and a devastating seated lariat. The Forearm 2 Remember knocked Kobald from the ring, where he finally managed to crawl in after a count of nineteen. He crawled back in only to be annihilated with the headlock driver. Referee Bryce Remsburg threatened Callihan with Excesivo de Castigo unless he ended things, so he locked Kobald into a brutal Stretch Muffler and the little demon had no choice but to tap out.

3) 3.0 vs The Colony vs Los Ice Creams vs Tim Donst & Jakob Hammermeier

All four teams exchanged antics as the early portion of the match was pure comedy. Tim Donst finally had enough of the shenanigans and blasted Ice Cream Jr. with the Gator Roll. He went into the ropes for something, but Shane Matthews tagged himself in. Matthews went right to work nailing Ice Cream Jr. with HEAD SCISSORS and then locking him into the BOSTON CRAB. Junior managed to reach the ropes, but Matthews tagged Parker and they nailed the 3.0 Lung Blower and Parker covered for the three eliminating Los Ice Creams. As the match reached the fifteen minute mark, The Colony had taken turns doing a number on Jakob Hammermeier. Donst entered the ring to save Jakob after a Beach Break from Fire Ant, but Soldier dumped Donst to the floor, and they nailed Ants Go Marching and Soldier Ant covered Jakob for the three count. 3.0 and The Colony would go to work taking the match to almost the thirty minute mark with so many near falls that all the fans in attendance were standing. The end finally came when Fire Ant blasted Shane Matthews with a big kick while he had Soldier Ant locked in the BOSTON CRAB! As Matthews rolled from the ring, Parker came in and went for a clothesline, which Fire Ant ducked. A leaping kick, followed by the Beach Break allowed The Hot Property to cover for the win.

The Colony have 3 Points!

4) Dasher Hatfield vs Chuck Taylor

After losing his partner and his titles at King of Trios, Dasher Hatfield stepped into singles competition against the newly crowned Rey De Voladores, Chuck Taylor. Dasher took early control, locking Taylor in a series of different holds, and confounding him with his baseball based offense. Taylor turned the tide with a thumb to the eye, and worked over Dasher for a solid five minutes. The tide turned again when Taylor sat Dasher up top for a superplex, but Dasher was able to reverse things and drilled Taylor with the Grand Slam. But Taylor managed to get his shoulder up at the last possible second. Dasher remained on offense, and after several minutes went for a second Grand Slam, but Taylor managed the reversal this time and drilled Dasher with Sole Food from the top rope. One Omega Driver later and Chuck Taylor was declared the victor.

As Gavin Loudspeaker was attempting to announce intermission, Chuck Taylor took the microphone from him and declared that due to his winning the Rey De Voladores at King of Trios, and just now defeating the last holder of the Campeones De Parejas, he wanted a shot at the Chikara Grand Championship. So whoever wins between Jigsaw and the winner of the upcoming six way was going to have to deal with "The Kentucky Gentleman."

5) The Briscoe Brothers vs Ultramantis Black & Frightmare

Jay and Mark wasted no time jumping the Spectral Envoy members before the bell rang. They dumped Mantis to the floor, and went to work on the smaller Frightmare. Frequent tags between the brother duo led to numerous two counts on the tenacious Frightmare as he struggled to tag Ultramantis. Finally he was able to drill Jay with a hurancanrana that spiked Briscoe on his head. Jay made it to Mark, but Frightmare had just enough time to crawl over and tag Mantis. Mantis came in like a house of fire and laid out both Mark and Jay. During the flurry of offense, Referee Jon Barber was caught with an elbow and knocked down. At that point, Delirious who wasn't even supposed to be in the building ran to the ring and blasted Ultramantis Black hard with a steel chair. Frightmare was treated to a bodyslam on the floor, before the deranged masked man disappeared behind the curtain. Mark Briscoe shook Barber awake, and covered Ultramantis Black for the one, two, three.

The Briscoe Brothers have Two Points!

6) Hallowicked vs El Generico vs Eddie Kingston vs Ophidian vs Green Ant vs Archibald Peck

Archibald Peck and Green Ant started the proceedings and went back and forth for the first couple of minutes. Eddie Kingston grew tired of the way things were progressing and tagged himself in on Green Ant. Kingston challenged Peck to a chop battle, which Archie lost quite convincingly. A Kingston lariat sent Peck crashing to the canvas, and a half nelson suplex would spell the end of Archibald Peck's Chikara career as Kingston covered him for the three count. Hallowicked came quickly into the ring and went for a huge boot to the face, but Kingston ducked it and turned Wicked inside out with a vicious lariat. Hallowicked somehow managed to kick out at two, but Kingston qued up another Lariat and it was enough to eliminate the Nightmare Warrior shockingly fast. The match continued with all four remaining competitors exchanging for the next eight minutes, until El Generico absolutely destroyed Green Ant with the BRAINBUSTAH and eliminated him. Ophidian tried his luck with Generico, but had no better success, and eventually tagged Eddie Kingston back in. Generico's run on offense continued and he had The War King in position for a 450 Splash, but Kingston moved and Generico crashed to the mat. The Sliding D followed, but Generico somehow managed to get his shoulder up at two and nine tenths. The Backfist to the Future would come next and it would spell the end of El Generico. Ophidian and Kingston would continue for another eight minutes of action. The end came when Ophidian ducked a Lariat which took out Bryce Remsburg instead. Ophidian lifted his mask and blew a thick black mist into the eyes of Eddie Kingston. The blinded Kingston stumbled around the ring wiping his eyes, until Ophidian jumped onto his back and locked him in the Death Grip. Eddie tried valiantly to fight it, but Ophidian would not let go. Eddie Kingston fell unconscious at about the same time Bryce came too, and Ophidian was declared the winner.

7) The Batiri vs FIST vs QuackSaw - Campeones De Parejas

The first fifteen minutes of the MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING saw all six men involved in the match making frequent tags, flying all over the ring, and exchanging holds and counters. The first elimination came at the sixteen minute mark as Obariyon and Johnny Gargano were going at it in the ring. Icarus attempted to interfere, but was cut off by Kodama. Gargano went for a superkick, but Obariyon was able to duck out of the way and drill Gargano with a neck breaker. Obariyon scaled the ropes and annihilated Gargano with the Flying DDT for the one, two, three.

Johnny Gargano and Icarus have been Eliminated.

Quack entered the ring and tossed Obariyon to the floor. He and Jigsaw went to work on Kodama and were quite relentless. Somehow Kodama managed to kick out of every maneuver and get to the ropes on every submission. Quack finally managed to drill Kodama with the Quackendriver III and cover him for the One, Two, Thr...KICKOUT!!! A frustrated Quack tagged out to Jigsaw, who was met with a low blow which allowed Kodama to make the tag. Just as Obariyon came into the ring, the arena lights went to darkness. When they came back on, the five members of Gekido were standing around the ring. The four men in the ring looked confusedly at them, but Obariyon quickly decided to ignore them and attack Jigsaw. Obariyon blasted Jig with a stiff elbow smash and followed it up with a German suplex. Obariyon climbed to the top and drilled Jigsaw with the Flying DDT. Obariyon went for the cover, but Jigsaw managed to kick out at two. Obariyon drug Jigsaw to his feet, but Jigsaw blasted him with a superkick.

Meanwhile, Mike Quackenbush had dropped off the apron, and was quickly joined at ringside by the members of The Colony. The four of them were jawing with the members of Gekido, and Quack never saw Jigsaw crawling to the corner desperate for the tag. At this point, Referee Jon Barber became distracted by the happenings at ringside, and failed to notice Kodama come into the ring and kick Jigsaw hard in the groin. He pushed Obariyon on top of Jigsaw and then spun Barber around. Kodama quickly exited the ring, as Barber counted the three.

THE BATIRI ARE THE NEW CAMPEONES DE PAREJAS!!!!

Obariyon and Kodama were quickly joined in the ring by Delirious and Kobald to celebrate the title win. Jigsaw rolled to the floor, and immediately punched his doppelganger The Shard in the face, which set off everyone on the outside to explode into a massive brawl. As Gekido, Quack, Jig, and The Colony brawled on the floor, the three members of The Spectral Envoy hit the ring and got into it with the Delirious/Batiri contingent inside the ring.

Referees, officials, and most of the locker room cleared out to stop the massive brawl as the show came to an end.

CHIKARA EVENT CENTER:
A PIECE OF THE ACTION

[/COLOR]


The Main Event of the Evening will see the Chikara Grand Champion, Jigsaw look to make his first defense of the title against "The Osirian Assassin" Ophidian who earned the shot by surviving five other men at Chikarasaurus Rex.

Next up we have Fire Ant, Soldier Ant, and Green Ant of The Colony in trios action against Obariyon, Kodama and Kobald of The Batiri. These two teams have animosity of their own, but both of them are currently focused on other opponents.

Which leads us to the next match as AssailANT, DeviANT, and CombatANT of The Swarm take on The Spectral Envoy of Ultramantis Black, Hallowicked, and Frightmare in a second Trios match. The feuds have been mixed up, and we will see who can put aside their feelings and come out with the victory.

Chikara's newest full time signee, "The Callihan Death Machine" Sami Callihan will step into the ring against Tim Donst. After the final death of the BDK at King of Trios, Donst looks to begin a new chapter in his Chikara history, but Callihan isn't looking to be anyone's stepping stone.

"Lightning" Mike Quackenbush wants nothing more than to get his hands on the members of Gekido, but he will have to get past Jakob Hammermeier before he gets that chance. Jakob has vowed to win this one, because it will make Tim love him.

"The Last of a Dying Breed" Eddie Kingston eliminated three men before getting cheated out of a title shot at Chikarasaurus Rex, and now he looks to take his frustrations out on Icarus. Icarus has already proclaimed that he will use this match to show everyone that he is in fact Chikara's Most Beloved Star like those Gekido guys said.

17 and The Shard of Gekido look to take their first steps toward conquering another version of Chikara as they look for points toward title contention. Standing in the way will be the Delicious Dairy Deviants, Los Ice Creams!

Chuck Taylor has been on a role in Chikara, and he looks to continue it as he and Johnny Gargano try to rise back up the tag team rankings and regain the Campeones De Parejas. 3.0 of Scott Parker and Shane Matthews have been so close to the promised land, but again find themselves with zero points. Two teams looking to change their fortunes will meet with points on the line.

Grizzly Redwood returned to Chikara and defeated three other men at Chikarasaurus Rex. Unfortunately for the littlest lumberjack, another man has recently returned to Chikara and he has declared his intentions toward the Grand Championship. Can Grizzly Redwood continue chopping through the competition, or will the giant Tursas make Redwood the first victim of his return to the top of Chikara.

The Main Event of the Evening will see ten men go to war in a survivor style elimination tag team match. Mike Quackenbush, Jigsaw, and The Colony have been waiting to get their hands on the members of Gekido since they showed up, and will now have their chance. 17, The Shard, and The Swarm say they will eliminate the imposters and take their rightful spots as the kings of Chikara.

In what is sure to be a hard hitting, down and dirty, brutal affair. "The War King" Eddie Kingston and "The Death Machine" Sami Callihan will meet one on one. Neither man is known to back down, and both men are known to take unbelievable amounts of punishment. Who will survive, and what will be left of them?

Two teams with loads of history who want nothing more than to eliminate the other from Chikara. Should make for one heck of a Trios match as The Spectral Envoy of Ultramantis Black, Hallowicked, and Frightmare step into the ring to face Obariyon, Kodama, and Kobald of The Batiri.

Dem Boys, Jay and Mark Briscoe currently have 2 Points. They look to grab their third point and a shot at the Campeones De Parejas, but to do so they will have to defeat the former champions Chuck Taylor and Johnny Gargano. FIST are looking to get another run, and they aren't planning to let "two bumbling rednecks" stop their momentum.

He's back and he is looking for the Chikara Grand Championship. The mammoth Tursas looks to take another step toward his goal, but standing across the ring from him is the leader of FIST and the self proclaimed Best Wrestler in the World, "The Winged Ring Warrior" Icarus.

Tim Donst and Jakob Hammermeier have been in a slump as the BDK has crumbled around them. They look to turn their luck around and begin a march toward the Campeones De Parejas, but standing in front of them is another team that wants to get to the promised land, Scott Parker and Shane Matthews, 3.0

Returning to Chikara after an absence of four months, Matt and Nick Jackson, The Young Bucks claim they are rested, ready, and better than ever. They look to begin their ascension toward title contention but to do so they will have to get past El Hijo del Ice Cream and Ice Cream Jr, the devious Los Ice Creams

Ten men, representing two different companies will step into the ring for a Battle Royal. The winning promotion will get an opportunity that will be explained the night of the show.

Representing CZW: Masada, Blk Jeez, Danny Havoc, Drake Younger, and AR Fox

Representing ROH: Kevin Steen, Michael Elgin, Rhett Titus, Roderick Strong, and Eddie Edwards

-A PIECE OF THE ACTION-

[/color]

1) 17 and The Shard vs Los Ice Creams

The opening match of the evening saw 17 and The Shard of Gekido takes on El Hijo Del Ice Cream and Ice Cream Jr, Los Ice Creams. The mysterious newcomers wasted little time asserting their dominance as The Shard took it to Ice Cream Jr. with a relentless fury. After close to five full minutes of a beating, Junior managed to reverse an Irish whip and connect with a clothesline that allowed him to tag. Hijo came in and was blasted with an elbow strike to the temple, and then 17 was tagged in. A display of technical wizardry followed such as one might usually see in a Mike Quackenbush match. After taking his time, dissecting various body parts, The Shard was tagged back in just long enough to obliterate Hijo del Ice Cream with a Superkick and score the three count.

17 and the Shard have 1 Point.


2) Tursas vs Grizzly Redwood

Match number two see's Grizzly Redwood coming off his impressive defeat of three men at Chikarasaurus Rex step into the ring against the returning monster, Tursas, coming off his destruction of his former BDK team mates at King of Trios. The first thing of note was Tursas was now wearing a different costume, this one all black with a large Celtic looking white cross on the chest. A black helm outlined in gray upon his head, and matching gray fur on the piece around his waist. The second thing of note was the absolute and utter destruction of Grizzly Redwood. He tried a Little Boot right off the bat, which Tursas nonchalantly brushed off and then proceeded to blast Grizzly with a thunderous clothesline. A Kreuz Bomb followed, and then a couple of minutes of Tursas toying with Redwood mostly be stepping on him. Grizzly finally attempted to mount a comeback by blasting Tursas in the chest with an ax handle after being whipped into the ropes, which Tursas heartily laughed at before taking Redwood's head off with a big boot of his own. Tursas then climbed to the top rope and splattered Grizzly with a Diving Cross Body for the 1-2-3. Grizzly had to be helped from the ring by staff and security.

3) The Colony vs The Batiri

A shockingly quick Trios match saw Soldier Ant begin things against Kobald. Kobald went for a chop right off the bat, but Soldier Ant ducked and leveled the little goblin with a roaring saluting forearm. Obariyon and Kodama tried to hit the ring immediately and were cut off by Green Ant and Fire Ant, which left Soldier alone in the ring with a knocked silly Kobald. The TKO followed and Kobald was pinned giving the win to The Colony. The three ants went out into the Chikarmy to celebrate, as Obariyon and Kodama slid into the ring to stand over their fallen partner. The curtain parted and Delirious walked slowly to the ring and came to stand next to Obariyon and Kodama. As Kobald began to stir, Delirious nodded his head and the two other members of The Batiri began to lay the boots into their much smaller partner. After a solid thirty seconds of kicks, Delirious nodded again and the beating stopped. Delirious then knelt down and lifted the fallen Kobald onto his shoulders and headed for the back with Obariyon and Kodama in tow.

4) Jakob Hammermeier vs "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush

Jakob began the match by thumbing Quack in the eye as they went to lock up. A choke hold followed as Bryce threatened the DQ. Jakob finally used a non-illegal move as he locked Quack in a chinlock. That was the opening Quack needed, as he used his technical wizardry to quickly get out of the hold and begin tying Hammermeier up in a plethora of different submissions. Jakob went back to his tactics and blasted Quack with a low blow at his first opportunity. He called for his Guten Nacht, but somehow Quack managed to reverse it and drill him with a Black Tornado Slam. A complicated roll up on the stunned Jakob led to the One, Two, Three.

5) 3.0 vs FIST
A very close back and forth match for the opening ten minutes with frequent tags from both teams, shenanigans from 3.0, and cheating from FIST. At around the thirteen minute mark Shane Matthews nailed Johnny Gargano with a piledriver and locked in the Boston Crab. It took some time, but Gargano was able to make the ropes. Matthews tagged out to Parker who came in and went for a knee drop, but Gargano was able to roll out of the way. Gargano continued rolling all the way out of the ring, allowing Chuck Taylor to enter. Chuck came in and drilled Parker with Sole Food, then sent him hard into the buckle. Taylor yelled out that he was going to kill Parker and then charged into the corner, where Parked moved out of the way and Chuck went hurtling shoulder first into the ringpost and fell to the floor. Shane Matthews quickly grabbed Gargano who was still on the floor and tossed him into the ring. The 3.0 Lung Blower followed and Parker covered for the three count.

3.0 have 1 Point

Intermission followed, and then Director of Fun Wink Vavvaseur came to the ring and announced that at "Better Luck Next Time" whoever wins tonight between Ophidian and Jigsaw would defend the Chikara Grand Championship against Chuck Taylor. Then the following night at "Death in Slow Motion" Fire and Soldier Ant would cash in their Three Points and take their shot at The Batiri and the Campeones De Parejas.

6) Sami Callihan vs Tim Donst

Callihan came out of the box with a running bicycle kick that knocked Donst out of the ring. Callihan followed it up with a suicide dive that left both men down on the outside of the ring. Sami recovered first and tossed Donst back into the ring. The Forearm 2 Remember came next and Donst was lucky to have been knocked close enough to the ropes to get his foot on it. Sami drug Donst to his feet by the hair, and was admonished by Referee Jon Barber, which gave Donst just enough time to thumb Callihan in the eye. Tim wasted no time dropping Callihan with the Gator Roll, but was only able to get a count of two. Donst locked Sami in a camel clutch, but Callihan was able to get to his feet with Donst on his back and run him into the turnbuckle. Sami drove an elbow hard into Tim's gut, and then devastated him with the Headlock Driver. The three count was mandatory, and Sami Callihan continued his winning ways in Chikara. Jakob Hammermeier was quickly out to check on his fallen partner, but once Donst was to his feet he shoved Jakob to the mat, and let loose an aggravated scream before heading to the back.

7) The Swarm vs The Spectal Envoy

The second Trios match of the night was nearly as short as the first one, albeit for different reasons. As soon as the bell rang The Swarm jumped the three members of the Envoy, and an all out brawl began in the ring and around ringside. Ultramantis Black and AssailANT ended up brawling in the crowd, while DeviANT and Frightmare fought all over the ringside area. Hallowicked and CombatANT were exchanging strikes in the ring. Hallowicked was getting the upper hand when he went for a Yakuza Kick that CombatANT ducked, and then blasted Hallowicked with a nasty discus forearm that garnered a two count. CombatANT questioned the count of Referee Bryce Remsburg, and then appeared to get angrier as he laid in a series of close fisted punches to the head of 'Wicked, before doing the unthinkable and tearing the mask of Hallowicked off of his head. Bryce immediately called for the disqualification and tore off his referee shirt to cover the face of Hallowicked. The three members of The Colony raced from the back and immediately started brawling with the members of the Swarm. Mantis and Frightmare went to the ring to check on Hallowicked, but were cut off by Delirious, Obariyon, and Kodama. The Colony and The Swarm brawled around the crowd and the merchandise tables and clear into the back. At ringside, Delirious sent Ultramantis Black hard into the ringpost, while Obariyon and Kodama stomped Frightmare into oblivion. Hallowicked tried to intervene once he got his mask back on, but it was too late as Delirious and The Batiri left the Envoy fallen at ringside.

8) Eddie Kingston vs Icarus

On his way to the ring Kingston told the SMV camera that he was running over everyone in his way until he got a shot at regaining his title. Icarus came to the ring sporting his BEST IN THE WORLD t-shirt much to the disdain of everyone in attendance. Icarus did however come to fight as he and Kingston went toe to toe for nearly seventeen minutes exchanging holds, strikes, and high impact moves. Numerous one and two counts were scored for both men, but in the end Kingston would not be stopped. A Saito suplex left Icarus staggered, and a Backfist to the Future put him down on the mat. Kingston went for the pin, but somehow, some way Icarus kicked out at two. With a nod of the head that may have been a show of respect, Kingston blasted Icarus with the Sliding D and secured the victory. Kingston again spoke to the SMV camera saying that "He was back on track, and wasn't stopping until he was once again the Grand Champion."

9) Jigsaw vs Ophidian for the CHIKARA GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP

It was now time for the MAAAAAIIIIINNNNN EVENT OF THE EVENING! One fall, no time limit, for the Chikara Grand Championship. Ophidian came to the ring looking to avenge his failed challenge for the Grand Championship earlier this season, while Jigsaw came out primed and ready to make his first defense of the title. The proceedings got off to a quick start as Ophidian lifted his mask to blow mist into the face of Jigsaw, but Jig saw it coming and blasted him in the face with a forearm strike that caused "The Osirian Assassin" to spew his mist all over the ring. Jigsaw then blasted the stunned Ophidian with a Super Kick and nearly got the three count. Jig would continue on offense for the next several minutes working on the neck and head of Ophidian with submissions and strikes. A whip into the corner changed the tide of the match as Ophidian sprung up and over Jigsaw, then dropkicked him in the back sending him hard into the buckle. A series of vicious kicks to the back, followed by a neckbreaker put the "Serpent of the Nile" in firm control. Ophidian took much the same strategy as Jigsaw working on the head and neck area, attempting to weaken Jig enough to lock in the Death Grip. Which he did just as the match passed the fifteen minute mark. Unfortunately for Ophidian, Jigsaw rammed him into the turnbuckle multiple times to loosen the Osirians grip, and then blasted him with another super kick to buy some time to recover. The end ultimately came at just around the twenty seven minute mark, when Ophidian connected with a brutal super kick of his own, and then called for the Egyptian Destroyer. Ophidian got Jigsaw in position and leapt forward to execute the move, but Jig was able to stop the momentum in half rotation. He then moved his arms around Ophidians legs, and drilled him head first into the mat with the Jig 'N' Tonic and then covered for the One, Two, Three.

As Jigsaw celebrated in the ring, The Shard came from behind the curtain sarcastically clapping his hands. Jig went to the edge of the ring to confront his doppelganger, and never saw 17 sneak into the ring behind him. 17 spun Jig around and nailed him with a kick to the gut, before executing the Quackendriver III on him and leaving him laying in the middle of the ring. Quack ran out from the back, but Shard and 17 quickly ran through the crowd, leaving Quack kneeling over his fallen partner.

-CHIKARA PRESENTS-
-THE 16TH SHOW OF SEASON 11-
-THE BLOODY TOWER-

[/color]


The show opens with Director of Fun Wink Vavvaseur coming to the ring and taking the microphone. He explains that the opening match of the evening will be the ten man CZW vs RoH battle royal. He knows that many members of the Chikarmy have been wondering why this match is taking place, and he is hear to explain. At the upcoming show "The Zodiac Crimes" the winning promotion will be able to send it's five members to compete in a returning Chikara tradition, La Loteria Lethal! On that night 32 wrestlers will be randomly divided into 16 teams to have 8 tag team matches. The following night at "The Cibernetico Rises" the winning teams from La Loteria Lethal will be divided onto two opposing Cibernetico teams, and the winner of that match will go on to the season finale "The Greatest Mother of Them All" to challenge for the Chikara Grand Championship!

Gavin Loudspeaker then announces the ten men competing in the battle royal, noting that Eddie Edwards was unable to make it to the show, and has been replaced by "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett

1) CZW vs RoH Ten Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal

Order of Elimination:

1) Rhett Titus by Blk Jeez
2) AR Fox by Michael Elgin
3) Roderick Strong by Masada
4) Drake Younger by Kevin Steen
5) Blk Jezz by Kevin Steen
6) Michael Elgin by Masada
7) Danny Havoc by Mike Bennett
8) Mike Bennett by Kevin Steen
9) Masada by Kevin Steen

The first five eliminations happened over the course of about eight minutes, then things really picked up at the end. When Masada tossed RoH powerhouse Michael Elgin from the ring, Kevin Steen went directly after him. The two respective champions brawled in the corner. Bennett used his size to get Danny Havoc most of the way out of the ring. Havoc struggled and stopped the elimination for some time, but eventually the size and strength of "The Prodigy" won out and Havoc was eliminated. On the other side of the ring, Masada stopped the onslaught of Kevin Steen with a vicious powerbomb. He then looked over to see Havoc get dumped, so he went after Bennett while his back was still turned. Masada had Bennett most of the way out of the ring when Steen recovered, and decided what the hell and dumped both of them out of the ring for the win.

Ring of Honor will send five representatives to La Loteria Lethal


2) Tim Donst and Jakob Hammermeier vs 3.0 (Scott Parker and Shane Matthews)

The first thing of notice in this match was that Tim Donst looked completely disinterested in being there. Jakob tried his best to cheer his BFF Tim up, but Donst was apparently inconsolable.

Jakob started against Scott Parker and came out of the box cheating like a mad man, enough that he was quickly able to execute Guten Nacht, but Shane Matthews made the save. Parker rolled out, allowing Matthews to go to work on Jakob and Hammermeier received quite a beating. Any time that Jakob was able to get away, Tim looked dejected in the corner and wouldn't reach out for the tag. The one time Jakob tagged him in, Tim executed one move on Matthews and tagged Hammermeier back in. Eventually Jakob got caught in the Boston Crab, but managed to make the ropes. A few minutes later, he ate the 3.0 Lung Blower but somehow managed to drape his foot across the ropes. "Big Magic" hit Jakob with one of patented HEAD SCISSORS that had so much momentum that Jakob was thrown from the ring. Matthews then leveraged the top rope to launch Donst into the ring. Donst fired off a stiff forearm to the groin that doubled Matthews over and then drilled him with the SDT, Jakob pulled Jagged from the apron and Donst covered Matthews for the 1,2,3.

Tim Donst and Jakob Hammermeier have 1 Point.

Jakob celebrated like he just won the Super Bowl as Tim looked like he would rather be anywhere else in the world.


3) Tursas vs Icarus

Donst and Jakob had not yet made their way out of the ringside area, mostly due to Donst walking around like he was in a haze, when Tursas emerged from behind the curtain. The former members of the BDK stood staring at one another for a tense moment, when Donst shoved Jakob into the giant Tursas. Tursas immediately landed a series of clubbing forearms on Hammermeier as Donst slipped around them and disappeared behind the curtain. Tursas eventually left Jakob laying in the entrance way and headed for the ring.

Icarus didn't fare much better than Jakob. He was strutting around the ring proclaiming himself the best in the world, before taunting the fans with whether or not he was going to remove his jacket. He was standing in the corner, facing the audience, teasing the jacket removal when Tursas squashed him in the corner with a huge avalanche. Tursas tore the jacket off much to the disdain of the crowd, but then obliterated Icarus with the Kreuz Bomb much to their delight. Tursas then took Icarus to the corner and attempted to chop off the tattoo by driving repeated open hand chops into the back of Icarus that echoed across the building. The "One More Time" chants were seemingly never ending, and nearly twenty brutal chops were delivered, before Tursas allowed Icarus to collapse to the mat, writhing in pain. Then Tursas scaled the turnbuckle and waited for Icarus to regain his footing before annihilating him with a Diving Crossbody that nearly smeared Icarus on the mat. Bryce Remsburg could have counted to a thousand, but three was all it took.


4) The Young Bucks vs Los Ice Creams

It is unlikely that anyone expected this match to turn out the way it did. What started as The Young Bucks being arrogant and taking the Ice Creams lightly, while the Ice Creams went about their usual shenanigans turned into a nearly thirty minute classic that left the fans in attendance loudly chanting "Match of the Year." The Bucks took control early and wore down the larger Ice Cream Junior for quite some time. He ate multiple superkicks, and both the moonsault and 450 from each of the Jacksons, but between timely help from his partner and some intestinal fortitude, he continued on. Eventually he was able to tag Hijo del Ice Cream who was dishing out Cold Stone Stunners like they were going out of style. The Bucks had to save one another on more than one occasion, but eventually they regained control and nailed Hijo del Ice Cream with More Bang for Your Buck, but Junior was able to make the save at the very last possible second. The match would continue back and forth until the twenty eighth minute where Junior nailed Matt with the Jack and Jill Hammer, causing him to roll to the floor. Nick came in and went for a superkick, but Junior ducked it, grabbed him, and Hijo delivered quite possibly the most brutal looking El Asesino in the history of ice cream.

Los Ice Creams have 1 Point

After the match the Bucks and Ice Creams shook hands in the middle of the ring as the fans chanted "Match of the Year." Matt Jackson took the microphone and after everyone quieted down, asked Los Ice Creams if they would be willing to give them a rematch next month. Los Ice Creams quickly huddled and nodded their agreement. The Bucks thanked them and raised their hands in victory......before devastating each of them with a superkick! The Young Bucks left to the jeers of the Chikarmy, as Los Ice Creams lay recovering in the ring.


Intermission followed, during which it was announced that joining the five men from Ring of Honor as non-Chikara regulars in La Loteria Lethal would be "The Ripper" Paul Burchill and Brent Albright having gained spots due to their impressive showings at King of Trios.


5) The Spectral Envoy vs The Batiri and Delirious

Kobald was nowhere to be found after the events of last night, and Delirious wrestled the match in place of the little goblin. This one started hot and heavy with all six men brawling. Mantis and Delirious ended up on the floor exchanging punches as The Batiri and Incoherence were in the ring. A big boot from Hallowicked sent Obariyon to the floor, and he and Frightmare were able to connect with The Headless Horseman on Kodama for the One, Two, Thr....OBARIYON BARELY MAKES THE SAVE!!!! The wild match continues on for another fifteen minutes with every man getting in the ring with every other man. Frightmare took an unparalleled beating at the hands of Delirious that included Chemical Imbalance II, Shadows Over Heck, the Bizzaro Driver, and even a Praying Mantis Bomb. He managed to kick out or was saved by his partners from all of it, but was virtually lifeless on the floor for the last five or so minutes of the match. (He had 11 tokens) Mantis and Delirious continued to just decimate one another anytime they were in the ring with each other, and although their interaction was short the Delirious/Hallowicked tension was thick. The end came when Obariyon drilled Ultramantis Black with the Flying DDT, but Mantis managed to get his shoulder up at the last possible second. Obariyon tagged Kodama who connected with the Flying Blockbuster, not once but twice, before they were able to keep Ultramantis Black from kicking out. The Batiri left ringside to tend their wounds, as Hallowicked checked on both of his fallen partners. As he was helped from the ring Mantis could be heard saying that they may have won the battle, but the war is far from over.


6) Eddie Kingston vs Sami Callihan

Speaking of war, two of the hardest hitting men in Chikara had one. Callihan started the match by pie facing Kingston, which obviously didn't go well. An exchange of chops followed that left Kingston covered in welts, and Callihan bleeding from the chest. What followed was ten solid minutes of punches, chops, kicks, repeated drops on the head, and numerous near falls that had the Chikarmy on their feet. The end came at the thirteen minute mark when both men could hardly stand from the beating they had given one another. Kingston drilled Callihan with a Backdrop Driver that folded Sami in half, but somehow "The Death Machine" was almost immediately back to his feet. He spat at Kingston, and then ducked the Backfist to the Future attempt that followed and dumped Kingston onto his neck with a Saito Suplex. Kingston popped almost immediately back to his feet, shook his head, and then blasted Callihan with a lariat. The momentum sent Sami into the ropes and he came back with a lariat of his own. Kingston stumbled a bit, but then lit Sami up with another series of chops. When "The War King" ran out of steam, Callihan lashed out with a series of chops of his own. Kingston loaded up for another series of chops, but Callihan had enough and kicked Eddie in the gut before getting him in position for the Headlock Driver. As Sami went to go forward, Kingston shoved him into the ropes, and as Sami came off he was caught flush with the Backfist to the Future. Sami went down hard, and Kingston pretty much collapsed exhausted on top of him for the One, Two, Three.

After the match the two men stared one another down for a moment before shaking hands, and then embracing to the cheers of the crowd. Director of Fun Wink Vavvaseur came to the ring and announced that Eddie Kingston would challenge the winner of the Jigsaw/Chuck Taylor match at "Better Luck Next Time" the following night at "Death in Slow Motion" and the Chikara Grand Championship would be on the line.


7) The Briscoe Brothers vs FIST

Something strange began right off the bat in this one as the Chikara faithful were actually cheering for FIST. Taylor and Gargano took control early working over Mark Briscoe in their corner. Frequent tags and good tag team offense was the name of their game in the opening minutes. Eventually Mark would duck a Gargano superkick and lay him into him with a little Redneck Kung Fu, which allowed him to tag his brother Jay. The elder Briscoe came in like a man possessed and cleaning house of both Taylor and Gargano with hard chops, dropkicks, and a nasty big boot that sent Gargano to the floor. Taylor left alone in the ring was kicked in the gut and spiked with the Jay Driller but he managed to grab the bottom rope at the count of two. The Briscoes then worked together and planted Chuckie T. dead in the center of the ring with a Spike Jay Driller, but Gargano managed to break it up at the last possible second. Gargano turned the tide of the match back into the favor of FIST after drilling Jay in the mouth with a superkick then planting him head first into the canvas with the baby ace crusher. Momentum shifted back to Dem Boys a few minutes later when Jay was able to make the tag and Mark planted Gargano with a brutal suplex. Mark hit a still groggy Chuck Taylor with a picture perfect superkick that sent him flying from the apron into the guard rail. A double football tackle would take Gargano down, and then The Briscoe's secured their title shot with The Doomsday Device.

The Briscoe Brothers have 3 Points!!!

After the match Jay Briscoe took the microphone much to the chagrin of the Chikara front office, but instead of going into one of the usual expletive filled promo's he is known for, simply stated that "Dem Boys will take their title shot at the season finale, until then were going back to Sandy Fork and doing some hunting."


8) Gekido vs QuackSaw and The Colony - Elimination Tag Team Match

Elimination #1: Fourteen minutes into the match and Mike Quackenbush had just gotten plowed with a Spike Piledriver from AssailANT and DeviANT, when 17 entered the match for the first time. He immediately grabbed Quack and spiked him into the mat with the Quackendriver III. The Swarm and The Shard stopped Jigsaw and The Colony from breaking up the pin, and Mike Quackenbush was the first man eliminated.


Elimination #2: At just around the twenty minute mark, Green Ant had been devastated by the Swarm Skull Kicks delivered by all three members of the trio. A DeviANT/AssailANT Spike Piledriver put him down, but the resilient Ant was able to kick out. Eventually AssailANT was able to lock on a crooked clover hold and try as he might, Green Ant could not reach the ropes and was forced to tap out.


Elimination #3: AssailANT was celebrating his victory over Green Ant, when Chikara Grand Champion Jigsaw entered the ring. He ran at AssailANT who bent over in an attempt to backdrop Jig, but Jig put on the brakes and downed AssailANT with a piledriver. Jig gave the Swarm member no time to recover, drilling him into the mat with the Jig 'N' Tonic and holding on for the One, Two, Three.



Elimination #4: Another ten minutes of furious action later finds Fire Ant and CombatANT in the ring. They have been going back and forth, but CombatANT just used a saluting headbutt which caused Soldier Ant to try and enter the ring. As Bryce Remsburg stopped him CombatANT nailed Fire Ant with a low blow and covered him. One, Two, Thr....KICK OUT!! An enraged CombatANT drug Fire Ant back to his feet and whipped him into the ropes. Fire Ant ducked the subsequent clothesline attempt and drilled CombatANT with a leaping kick that stunned the Swarm member. Fire Ant wasted no time in hooking him and drilling him with The Beach Break and getting the three count.


Elimination #5: 17 hit the ring and blasted Fire Ant with a shotei and followed it by locking him up in the Lightning Lock Beta. Eventually Fire Ant escaped, but another shotei sent him out of the ring and to the floor. Soldier Ant then wasted absolutely no time scaling the top rope and landing a gorgeous cross body block on the unprepared 17 for the One, Two, Three.


Elimination #6: The Shard hit the ring running, but Soldier Ant scooped him up on his shoulders and delivered the TKO in the center of the ring. Before DeviANT had time to react, the three count was made, and it was now three on one.


Elimination #7: DeviANT is in the ring and jumps Soldier Ant before The Colony member has time to recover. DeviANT lays a series of clubbing forearms into the back and neck of Soldier Ant, leaving Soldier in a heap on the mat. DeviANT drags Soldier to his feet, but instead of going in for the kill and trying to secure the elimination, he instead grabs the mask of Soldier Ant and tears it off of his head. Bryce immediately calls for the DQ.

Jigsaw, Fire Ant, and Soldier Ant have Survived



Fire Ant and Jigsaw hit the ring to help Bryce in covering up the face of their comrade, as DeviANT hightails it out onto the floor. Green Ant hits ringside almost immediately and launches himself at DeviANT and the two of them begin brawling on the floor. Before long the other four members of Gekido hit the ring and attack Jigsaw, Soldier Ant, and Fire Ant. Quack isn't too far behind to even up the odds, and all ten men are brawling in the ring and on the floor. Soon enough referees, officials, 3.0, and The Spectral Envoy head to the ring to help control the chaos, but the presence of the Envoy draws Delirious and The Batiri out of the back to attack them. This brings out Jay and Mark Briscoe who attack members of The Batiri and The Colony since they will eventually be wrestling one of those two teams for the belts. This bring another wave of help from the back including more officials, wrestle factory trainees, Eddie Kingston and Sami Callihan. It takes a few minutes for most of the officials, refs, and trainees to get tossed from the ring and most of wrestlers are now in the ring brawling with one another. Apparently fed up with the noise, the monstrous Tursas makes his way to the ring and begins tossing people to the floor left and right. 3.0, The Shard, Hallowicked and members of both The Swarm and The Colony are tossed by the giant, as most of the other people begin to clear from the ring, either brawling to the back or just trying to escape the carnage.

Eventually the only man left standing in the ring is Tursas, who exits the ring and walks over to the announce position where the Chikara Grand Championship that Jigsaw brought to ringside with him still sits. Tursas picks the belt up and cradles it in his large hands, before nodding his head and placing it back on the table. With that he lumbers back to the dressing room as the crowd digests all they have just seen.

CHIKARA EVENT CENTER:
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME

[/COLOR]

The Main Event of the Evening will see Jigsaw look to make his second defense of the Chikara Grand Championship as he defends against "The Kentucky Gentleman" Chuck Taylor. Can Taylor's hot streak pay off in the form of championship gold, or will Jigsaw continue to ride the wave of momentum that led him to the title in the first place.

Last month two teams put on what is being called a match of the year candidate, and this month the rematch is signed. Los Ice Creams shocked pretty much everyone with their victory, but no one more than The Young Bucks. Now Matt and Nick Jackson want their revenge. Will they get it? or will Los Ice Creams be one point closer to a shot at championship gold!

One night before Eddie Kingston gets a shot at becoming the first two time Chikara Grand Champion, he will step into the ring with a man who may quite possibly be the single biggest test of his career. Former ECW Champion, former NWA Champion, multiple time WWE Hardcore Champion, "The War Machine" Rhino makes his Chikara debut in what is sure to be nothing short of a war.

Scott Parker and Shane Matthews have not had the year they hoped for due to tough losses and injury, but they hope to turn that around and get another shot at the Promised Land. Standing in there way are two members of The Swarm, DeviANT and AssailANT. Points are in play as these two teams collide.

Another Wink Vavvaseur idea comes to Chikara as he presents what he is calling "The Golden Ticket Tournament." Details are unknown at this point, but we do know the following matches are scheduled to take place as part of whatever this is.

Icarus vs Ophidian vs Kobald vs The Shard

Johnny Gargano vs Hallowicked vs Mike Quackenbush vs Delirious

El Generico vs 17 vs Dasher Hatfield vs Tursas

Jakob Hammermeier vs Frightmare vs Green Ant vs Grizzly Redwood

CombatANT vs Ultramantis Black vs Tim Donst vs Sami Callihan

CHIKARA EVENT CENTER:
DEATH IN SLOW MOTION

[/COLOR]

The first of two big main events will see Obariyon and Kodama of The Batiri look to make their first defense of the Chikara Campeones De Parejas as they take on former champions in Fire Ant and Soldier Ant, The Colony. Will the demonic duo be able to retain, or will the heroic ants be able to reclaim previous glory.

In the second main event, Eddie Kingston will get his long awaited rematch for the Chikara Grand Championship that he lost earlier in the season. Will it be his good friend Jigsaw standing across the ring from him, or will it be FIST's Chuck Taylor. Either way, "The War King" is ready.


Apart from those two matches, the rest of the card is TBD. We know that "The Golden Ticket" Tournament will end, but since we have no idea what it even entails, or who will be in it, the rest of the card will be decided after the previous nights show has ended.

Thanks Wink.

-CHIKARA PRESENTS-
-THE 17TH SHOW OF SEASON 11-
-BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME-

[/color]

Director of Fun Wink Vavvaseur starts the evening off by explaining the Golden Ticket Tournament that he has constructed for this weekend. Tonight there will be five matches of four competitors. The winners of those matches will compete in a five way double elimination match tomorrow night, the winner of which will be granted the Golden Ticket. A prize that does not take effect until the beginning of Season Twelve, which will allow the winning competitor to redeem the ticket at a time of his choosing for a shot at the Chikara Grand Championship.

At the announce booth Leonard F. Chikarason tosses down his headset and marches toward the ring. He grabs the microphone from Wink Vavvaseur and goes on a tirade about how Wink has ruined Chikara. He mentions the Grand Championship playing hot potato, numerous Chikara wrestlers signing with the WWE, the Campeones De Parejas being contested in a non two of three falls match, Cibernetico happening twice, Gekido running wild, and the fact that his Golden Ticket idea is nothing more than a rip off of Money in the Bank.

LFC then drops the bombshell that when Season Eleven ends, the Chikarmy is going to be allowed to elect a NEW Director of Fun, and as of this moment LFC is placing his name back in the running. He then slaps the microphone into the chest of Vavvaseur and begins to head back to the commentation station. Vavvaseur looks totally unphased by this revelation and simply says that he believes his record speaks for itself, and his being elected to another term as Director of Fun is virtually a lock.

1) Grizzly Redwood vs Frightmare vs Jakob Hammermeier vs Green Ant - Golden Ticket Qualifier

Elimination #1: Seven minutes into the match and Jakob Hammermeier had been taking quite a beating from Green Ant. As Jakob crawled toward a corner, Green Ant made the tag to Frightmare. Frightmare came in and grabbed Jakob before he could tag Redwood, but Jakob connected with a low blow that the referee failed to see. As Frightmare cradled his injured area, Jakob was able to grab him and connect with Guten Nacht and get the very cheap 1,2,3 and eliminate Frightmare.

Elimination #2: Strangeness abounds as Green Ant and Jakob Hammermeier work over Grizzly Redwood with quick tags and double team maneuvers after Redwood chopped them both down. Redwood did his best to fight back and survive, but eventually he was worn down and Green Ant locked in the Cloverleaf and "The Littlest Lumberjack" had no choice but to tap.

Elimination #3: Jakob scaled the ropes and connected with a beautiful flying crossbody that drove the air out of Green Ant, but he managed to kick out. A disgruntled Jakob drug Green Ant to his feet and then pointed outside the ring which caused Referee Jon Barber to look, which allowed Jakob to hit a blatant low blow, before drilling Green Ant with the Guten Nacht for the win.

Jakob Hammermeier advances in the Golden Ticket Tournament


2) 3.0 (scott Parker/Shane Matthews) vs The Swarm (DeviANT/AssailANT)

A tale of two tag teams in this one as 3.0 used their high energy, hard hitting offense against the constant double teaming and underhand tactics of The Swarm members. Fourteen minutes of back and forth action came to an end when Scott Parker was finally able to tag Shane Matthews after taking a great deal of damage. Matthews came in like a house of fire with HEAD SCISSORS for both members of The Swarm. AssailANT managed to counter a second attempt by driving Matthews hard into the canvas in a kind of inverted sit out powerbomb. DeviANT attacked Scott Parker who was recovering on the apron which drew the attention of Daniel Yost and allowed AssailANT to place an object in his mask and deliver a headbutt to Shane Matthews that left him unconscious on the mat. DeviANT and AssailANT went ahead and stuffed Matthews with a totally unnecessary Spike Piledriver and scored the win.

The Swarm have 1 Point


3) Kobald vs Ophidian vs Icarus vs The Shard - Golden Ticket Qualifier

Elimination #1: A cocky Icarus had mocked Kobald when he stepped into the ring and it turned out to be a huge mistake. The little goblin nailed Icarus with a series of rapid fire palm strikes followed by a particularly brutal sounding Mongolian chop, and followed it up with a spear. The Demon's Toilet followed, but Icarus managed to kick out at two. Kobald charged again for a spear, but Icarus leapfrogged it and landed awkwardly on his ankle. He hobbled for a moment before Kobald drilled him with another spear for the three count and the elimination. Icarus had to be helped to the back, unable to put weight on his ankle.

Elimination #2: Ophidian had done a number on The Shard, but Shard was able to roll out of the ring which allowed Kobald to enter the match. Kobald quickly scaled the ropes and dove at "The Osirian Assassin" but unfortunately for him, Ophidian was ready and caught Kobald directly in the midsection with a vicious superkick. The Egyptian Destroyer followed and the three count was elementary.

Elimination #3: The Shard still reeling from the beating he received earlier stumbled back into the ring, but was met with a spinning kick from Ophidian. The Serpent from the Nile wasted no time in locking in the Death Grip. The Shard never tapped, but his arm went down three times and Bryce Remsburg signaled for the bell.

Ophidian advances in the Golden Ticket Tournament


4) CombatANT vs Ultramantis Black vs Sami Callihan vs Tim Donst - Golden Ticket Qualifier

Elimination #1: CombatANT jumped Ultramantis Black before the bell, and they became the legal men as Callihan and Donst left. CombatANT was relentless, peppering Mantis with strikes and kicks before downing him with a discus forearm. A saluting headbutt followed, and then CombatANT locked in the inverted Chikara Special, but Mantis managed to make the ropes. CombatANT didn't give him a moment to recover, dragging him up by his mask and obliterating him with the TKO for the pin and the shocking elimination.

Elimination #2: The three remaining men tagged in and out of the match, each man taking a ton of damage. Sami Callihan tossed Tim Donst hard into the ringpost and while referee Daniel Yost was checking on him, CombatANT came in the ring and kicked Callihan hard in the groin twice. Yost turned around just in time to see The Swarm member covering Callihan and counted the One, Two, Three.

Elimination #3: CombatANT went after the wounded Donst, but Callihan evened the odds by drilling CombatANT with the Headlock Driver before being forced from ringside by a group of officials. Eventually both men got back to their feet and Donst won the exchange of strikes, leading him to drilling CombatANT with the SDT and picking up the win.

Tim Donst advances in the Golden Ticket Tournament

As Sami Callihan was being drug from ringside by a host of officials, he could be heard screaming "I Know You" at CombatANT before they got him behind the curtain.


5) The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) vs Los Ice Creams (El Hijo Del Ice Cream and Ice Cream Jr.)

Last month these two teams had an insanely good match that ended with a surprising Ice Cream win, and a showing of bad attitude and poor sportsmanship by The Bucks. Now, we have the rematch and points are on the line. Unlike last month that saw good sportsmanship between both teams until the very end, The Young Bucks came right out of the gate using questionable tactics. The Ice Creams kept it competitive, but in the end the double teaming and shortcuts of The Bucks proved to be too much for the Delicious Dairy Deviants to overcome. At the thirteen minute mark, More Bang for Your Buck connected on Ice Cream Jr. and got the one, two, three.

The Young Bucks have 1 Point

Intermission followed during which it was announced that Sugar Dunkerton would make his return from injury at "The Zodiac Crimes" as a participant in La Loteria Lethal. It was all announced that Da Soul Touchaz would make their Chikara return the following night at "The Cibernetico Rises" in Trios action.


6) Hallowicked vs Delirious vs Johnny Gargano vs Mike Quackenbush - Golden Ticket Qualifier

Elimination #1: Hallowicked connected with Go 2 Sleepy Hollow on Mike Quackenbush, but Quack was close enough to roll out of the ring. Johnny Gargano came in and went for a superkick, but Hallowicked ducked and then decimated Gargano with a bone jarring Rydeen Bomb, and it was enough for the One, Two, Three.

Elimination #2: Hallowicked and Delirious came face to face and bad blood boiled over. For a solid five minutes they exchanged hard strikes and high impact moves. Finally Hallowicked had the advantage and sat Delirious on the top rope, a running Yakuza kick left Delirious reeling. Hallowicked wasted a precious moment to acknowledge the roar of the crowd and it allowed Delirious to fire a kick into the sternum of Wicked that doubled him over. Shadows Over Hell followed, and Delirious hooked the tights for the three count and the elimination.

Elimination #3: Delirious had been dominating Quack, but a palm strike rocked Delirious, and Quack followed with the Black Tornado Slam. Delirious was locked in the Chikara Special, but found the ropes. Finally Mike Quackenbush broke out the QD3 for the victory.

Mike Quackenbush advances in the Golden Ticket Tournament


7) Dasher Hatfield vs El Generico vs Tursas vs 17

Elimination #1: Twenty three minutes into the match and all four men were exhausted as this had been a fast pace from the beginning. Tursas went tumbling from the ring after eating an El Generico Ole kick. Dasher came in and went to work on Generico, who after taking a series of moves was able to reverse the momentum of an Irish whip and tag in 17. 17 charged Hatfield with a palm strike, but Dasher ducked it and connected with an Underhand Pitch that stunned the masked man. The Grandslam followed, and 17 was the first man eliminated.

Elimination #2: Tursas had been a dominant force in the match and had been beating on both Generico and Hatfield. His end would come due to his size as at the thirty three minute mark the big man was sucking wind. He was still dominating Generico, but when he sent him into the turnbuckle with a little less zeal than usual, the Generic Luchador bounced back and absolutely rocked the giant viking with an Ole Kick! Tursas teetered and fell between the ropes to the floor. Dasher Hatfield hit the ring and came across with a Baseball Slide then sent Tursas into the guard rail. El Generico then followed with a spaceman moonsault that took the giant off his feet and left him laid out on the floor. Try as Tursas might, he couldn't drag his large form back into the ring before the referee counted him out.

Elimination #3: El Generico and Dasher Hatfield were both completely drained but they didn't allow that to stop them from continuing this war. They took the best each had to offer, but in the end Dasher Hatfield connected with an astonishing THREE Grandslam's before he was finally able to stop El Generico from kicking out.

Dasher Hatfield advances in the Golden Ticket Tournament


8) Eddie Kingston vs Rhino

The War King vs The War Machine pretty much explains everything you need to know about this one. It didn't last long, both men hit each other as hard as humanly possible. They said words to one another that Chikara frowns upon, and the brawl on the floor did quite a number on the ringside area. The end came at the six minute mark as the two were exchanging blistering chops on the floor, and referee Daniel Yost called for the count out. The Chikarmy exploded in a chorus of boo's, but Rhino and Kingston ignored it and brawled for another two minutes anyway. Finally a host of referees, trainees, and officials came out and separated the two men. Both of them were screaming that it wasn't over, as Kingston went behind the curtain he could be heard telling Wink Vavvaseur to bring him back so they could do it again.


9) Jigsaw vs Chuck Taylor - Chikara Grand Championship

In the MAINNNNNNNNNNN EVENT OF THE EVENING!! Jigsaw and Chuck Taylor went at it for almost twenty minutes of back and forth high paced action. Jigsaw controlled the early portion of the match working a series of holds and strikes that frustrated "The Kentucky Gentleman." Taylor came back after ducked a Jigsaw superkick and delivering with a picture perfect dropkick. Taylor used all of the holds in his repertoire and capped it all off by drilling Jigsaw with the Awful Waffle for the One, Two, Thr...KICKOUT!!! Taylor couldn't believe it, and the Chikarmy in attendance though for sure that they had just seen a title change, but Jigsaw managed to lift his shoulder at the absolute last possible moment. Taylor went for a second Omega Driver, but Jigsaw slipped out the back and nearly pinned Taylor with a surprise roll up. Jig went on the offensive blasting Taylor with a superkick, and drilling him with Jig 'N' Tonic for the thre..NO....TAYLOR KICKED OUT!! Back and forth they went again, with Taylor finally getting the best of the exchange and hoisting Jigsaw up for another Omega Driver, but Jig shifted his weight mid move and landed on his feet, a shocked Taylor took a kick to the gut and got drilled with a Brainbuster and that was all she wrote, as Jigsaw got the victory.

Jigsaw retains the Chikara Grand Championship


Jigsaw's celebration was short lived as The Shard came to the ring and confronted the champion. In a move that absolutely no one expected, The Shard stuck out his hand to Jigsaw. Jigsaw was more than reluctant, but was tilting his head to the side as if listening to what The Shard had to say. Before anything could become of the bizarre situation, the rest of Gekido came from the back and Jigsaw bailed out of the ring. The three members of The Swarm and 17 were berating The Shard as the whole of them headed backstage.
