Incoherence vs. 3.0
The Canadian duo’s struggles continued early, as Hallowicked used his power advantage to toss both men around the ring; only a succession of defensive tags kept 3.0 in the match, and even that proved ineffective when the masked man tagged in Frightmare and they planted Shane Matthews with the HEADLESS HORSEMAN. Scott Parker dove into the ring and nailed Frightmare with a forearm, breaking referee Daniel Yost’s count.
Frightmare wasn’t hurt by the move, but he was incensed, and chased Parker out to the floor and around the ring. Meanwhile, Matthews rolled under the bottom rope, crouching down and unloading on Frightmare with a clothesline as he came around the corner. Matthews rolled Frightmare back into the ring and went for a big elbow drop, but the masked man rolled out of the way and the Canadian crashed into the mat. Frightmare hit his KNEECOLEPSY and made the cover: 1…2…3!
WINNERS: Incoherence via pinfall (9:09)
Shynron vs. Soldier Ant
The rest of the Colony was not present in Jeffersonville, but for some reason, Soldier Ant chose tonight to make his return to the Chikara ring. Initially, he seemed to be off a step, as his much faster opponent ran circles around him, scoring with dropkicks, a flying head scissors, and a Tiger feint knee strike for a two-count. Soldier Ant rolled out to the floor and Shynron launched himself over the top rope, crashing onto his opponent, leaving him in big trouble.
Soldier Ant turned things around on the floor with a thumb to the eye, then he rammed Shynron face-first into the ring post. The crowd turned hostile as Soldier Ant began tearing at the eye holes of Shynron’s mask before throwing him back into the ring and hitting a saluting head butt for two.
Shynron fought back after the near fall and whipped his opponent into the ropes, going for a hurricanrana, but Soldier Ant caught him and turned it into a power bomb. He hoisted Shynron up for a TKO and planted him on the canvas, but did not go for the cover! Instead he went up to the top rope and went for a leg drop, but Shynron rolled aside and Soldier Ant crashed and burned.
The Spirit Dragon climbed to his feet and went for a stiff kick, but Soldier Ant ducked out of the way and rolled Shynron up, hooking his tights for 1…2…and a half, as Shynron barely kicked out. Shynron popped up to his feet and ate a huge clothesline that flipped him upside down. Soldier Ant hit another TKO and this time made the cover and earned the three-count.
WINNER: Soldier Ant via pinfall (16:27)
Post-Match Drama
As Soldier Ant made his way to the back, he did not acknowledge the outstretched hands of the fans. By the time he made his way up the aisle, the crowd had turned against him and the fans were booing. He turned back just before disappearing through the curtain, and made a gesture as if he was washing his hands of the fans.
The Throwbacks vs. Los Ice Creams
This match got off to an inauspicious start, as Mark Angelosetti paused to say, “’Sup, nerds?” to the crowd…and El Hijo del Ice Cream crept up behind him, pinching his backside. Angelosetti went ballistic, and charged at Hijo with a clothesline, but the masked man ducked beneath it and countered with a Yakuza Kick and a cover for a one-count. Los Ice Creams began working Angelosetti over with quick tags and double team moves, scoring another near fall before Angelosetti managed to make his way to his corner and tag in Dasher Hatfield.
Hatfield took both Ice Creams down with punches and clotheslines, then caught Hijo in an abdominal stretch that might have ended the match if Ice Cream Jr. hadn’t dashed into the ring to make the save. Hijo rolled out of the ring and Junior stayed in against Hatfield, though he soon fell prey to a GRAND SLAM for 1…2…and Junior kicked out!
Junior rolled out to the floor and Hijo dove off the top rope with a missile dropkick, sending Hatfield crashing to the mat. El ASESINO led to a long two-count on Hatfield, but Angelosetti made the save and rolled his partner out to the floor. Mr. Touchdown turned around and walked right into a COLD STONE STUNNER by Hijo, who folded Angelosetti up and made the cover: 1…2…3!
WINNERS: Los Ice Creams via pinfall (27:39)
Oleg the Usurper (with Sidney Bakabella) vs. Jervis Cottonbelly
Cottonbelly reversed a whip into the turnbuckle early and worked Oleg over with European uppercuts, including one from the top rope that put the Usurper on his back for a two-count. The World’s Sweetest Man went up to the top rope, but felt that was a little high for his tastes. He climbed down to the second rope…then the first, and then he flew, right into Oleg’s boot, knocking the masked man senseless. Oleg hit a senton, then lifted Cottonbelly up for OFF WITH HIS HEAD, which put him down for the count.
WINNER: Oleg the Usurper via pinfall (5:49)
Jigsaw vs. Juan Francisco de Coronado
Jigsaw’s return to the ring got off to a solid start, as he worked his opponent over with kicks before nailing him with a step-up enzuigiri. Jigsaw went to the top rope, but de Coronado caught him and press slammed him to the mat, then locked on his CORONADO CLUTCH.
The masked man pounded the mat in agony, but refused to give up the match. Eventually, the Ecuadoran broke his own hold, powering Jigsaw up with a German suplex and a bridge for 1…2…and nine-tenths! Jigsaw barely kicked out! Jigsaw was whipped into the ropes, but he ducked under a clothesline and countered with a stiff right hand, then a superkick that put the Ecuadoran on the mat for 1…2…no!
Jigsaw seemed to become enraged when de Coronado kicked out, and he grabbed referee Jonathon Barber by the shirt, throwing him down forcibly. While Barber was dazed, Jigsaw slid out to the floor and grabbed Gavin Loudspeaker’s chair. He took the foreign obkect back into the ring and blasted his opponent with it; Barber was still down, but he was aware enough to call for the bell.
WINNER: Juan Francisco de Coronado via disqualification (11:48)
Pinkie Sanchez vs. Jakob Hammermeier
Once Juan Francisco de Coronado was assisted to the back, it was time for the MMMMMMMMain Event of the Evening! Gavin Loudspeaker had barely begun his ring introductions when Jakob Hammermeier marched out to the ring, microphone in hand.
HAMMERMEIER: “Nein! Nein! Nein! Everyone thinks they are so smart! Everyone thinks they have put an end to Jakob’s Flood! But Jakob…Jakob is the smartest one of all! You will not see Jakob in the ring tonight! You will see Jakob’s new monster: Anarchy!”
With that proclamation, a man dressed entirely in a black body suit made his way out from the back, the eyes of his mask glowing a dull yellow. He stood over six feet tall, and had a barrel chest beneath his costume. The masked man walked purposefully towards the ring and stepped through the ropes, taking his place at Hammermeier’s side.
Pinkie Sanchez vs. Anarchy (with Jakob Hammermeier)
Sanchez never knew what hit him. The masked juggernaut pounded Sanchez with boxing jabs, then took him down with a Northern Lights suplex. Then a half nelson suplex. Then an exploder suplex. Sanchez was barely able to crawl over to the ropes, beginning to prop himself up…when the massive Anarchy charged across the ring and swung through the ropes with a Tiger feint knee strike. Sanchez went down and stayed down—Anarchy made the cover with one foot on his chest.
WINNER: Anarchy via pinfall (3:35)
