Into the Chikaraverse

[db1091]

Season finale!

The Final Hiding Place
December - Season 1

3.0 def. Los Ice Creams by pinfall
Fun way to kick off the show, with ice cream antics and over the top 3.0 reactions. A double team Lung Blower earns 3.0 the win to close out the season.

Bryan Danielson def. Johnny Saint by submission
Danielson's changing attitude really started to show back at Chikarasaurus Rex against Saint, and the disrespect for the legend continued at the finale. Saint tapped to a triangle choke, but Danielson refused to release the hold. Colt Cabana rushed to the ring to make the save and chase Danielson off.

Young Lions Cup
Heidi Lovelace def. Marshe Rockett and Gregory Iron to become new Young Lions Cup champion
A well deserved win for Lovelace, who controlled the match and took the fight to both her opponents. A Shining Wizard on Rockett gave her the victory.

Steel Cage Grudge Match
Mike Quackenbush def. Jigsaw
A match that had many of the technical aspects you would expect from both men but also developed into an all out brawl. Jigsaw landed a Quackendriver on Quackenbush, but couldn't put him away. Quack picked up the win after a crossbody from the top of the cage, followed by a Quackendriver IV, allowing him to escape.

The Colony def. Sinn Bodhi and The Batiri by pinfall
A fierce contest, with The Colony fired up to finally get retribution for all they have been put through by Bodhi and The Batiri this season. Kobald and Obariyon take an absolute beating during the match. Fire Ant picks up the win for The Colony with Beach Break on Obariyon.

If Archibald Peck loses he leaves Chikara
Eddie Kingston def. Archibald Peck by pinfall
Peck truly gives it his all, but even distraction from Veronica is not enough to save him. Kingston hits the Sliding D to win the match.

Peck slowly removes his marching uniform and places it in the centre of the ring before leaving through the crowd with his head bowed and Veronica still in the ring.

Cibernetico
The BDK batting order: Tim Donst, Sara Del Rey, Pinkie Sanchez, Delirious, Ares, Tursas, Claudio Castagnoli (c)
Team Chikara batting order: 'Mr Touchdown' Mark Angelosetti, Dasher Hatfield (c), Frightmare, Hallowicked, Sugar Dunkerton, Ultramantis Black, Reckless Youth

The BDK def. Team Chikara
Team Chikara looked strong in the early going and Castagnoli was forced to pull the referee from the ring several times to prevent pinfalls against his team. But, Castagnoli really showed why he is the leader of The BDK, working his way through most of Team Chikara before being the last man standing.
- Frightmare eliminated Sara Del Rey
- Hallowicked eliminated Pinkie Sanchez
- Claudio Castagnoli eliminated Sugar Dunkerton
- Castagnoli eliminated Ultramantis Black
- Tursas eliminated Dasher Hatfield
- Castagnoli eliminated Hallowicked
- Reckless Youth eliminated Delirious
- Reckless Youth eliminated Ares
- Reckless Youth eliminated Tursas
- Tim Donst was eliminated by disqualification
- Castagnoli eliminated Reckless Youth
- Castagnoli made Mark Angelosetti tap with the Giant Swing

Announcement

Following their victory in the Cibernetico match at the season one finale show, it has been announced that The BDK's Jakob Hammermeier will be the new Director of Fun, due to small print terms inserted into the contract by the group.

Mr Hammermeier has assured Chikara management that he will not unfairly favour his stablemates.

As a show of good faith, he has promised that he will have Claudio Castagnoli and Ares defend their Campeonatos de Parejas at the season opener.

[Pariah]

Always gotta watch out for that fine print! YIKES! What does the BDK have in store for the Chikaraverse on the upcoming season?

Brillant finale, my friend... From start to finish!

[db1091]

Thanks Pariah! Thanks to you and everyone else who has commented, liked posts or just taken the time to read any of the results from season one. It's been great fun! Planning for season two is already underway, I went through and sorted all my show names for the year this evening and sorted some roster additions as well.

Announcement

New Chikara Director of Fun, and BDK mouthpiece, Jakob Hammermeier has today revealed that the opening show for season two will be Ich Tu Dir Weh (translation: I'm Hurting You), with the Campeonatos de Parejas Claudio Castagnoli and Ares defending their titles against 3.0.

Chris Hero def. Jigsaw by pinfall

Colt Cabana cuts a promo on Bryan Danielson, saying he is no longer the man he travelled the roads with, week in and week out. When he attacked a legend like Johnny Saint, he turned his back on the Indy world. However, no disrespect goes unpunished and Cabana promises he will get even.
