CHIKARA - Young Lions Cup defense in Pittston!

Our next event at the Staircase in Pittston, The Grape American Bash, will be headlined by a defense of the Young Lions Cup, currently in the possession of Jigsaw.

We have three teams to add to our overloaded Tag World Grand Prix. First, Ring of Honor Trainees Matt Turner and Davey Andrews have found new partners. So the new pairings will be:

Matt Turner & Anthony Franco
Shane Hagadorn & Davey Andrews

Due to herniated discs in his back, UltraMantis Black, half of the Dark Breed with Hallowicked, will be unable to compete at our upcoming Tag World Grand Prix. Mantis will be out of action until mid-March. However, Hallowicked will still appear in the tournament - not as part of the Dark Breed, but as part of The Night Shift. Coming out of retirement for one weekend only, Hallowicked's former partner Blind Rage will fill the vacancy left by the injured Mantis. This adds a completely new wrinkle to the 32-team tournament. The previous Tag World Grand Prix - held in the summer of 2003 - was won by Blind Rage and Hallowicked. In just over two weeks, we'll find out if months of ring rust impede the Night Shift - or if the former Tag World Grand Prix winners can repeat as champions!

Major Changes to CHIKARA's Tag World Grand Prix 2005!

From the desk of Leonard F. Chikarason:

"It would appear that we have made the grave error of booking too many teams for our Tag World Grand Prix. In addition, there are concerns about building capacity for the night of the finals. For this, my personal assistant Cheryl Phycosis will be flogged. However, that will not solve all our problems. Although historically, flogging has solved the majority of CHIKARA's problems."

"We are changing the Tag World Grand Prix from a 2-night tournament, into a 3-night tournament. In addition, we are no longer content to just host 24 teams, making this, and the 1987 Crockett Cup tie as the biggest tag team tournaments ever. Instead, we are laying claim to the largest tournament of all time, with 32 teams, a feat which, considering how long ago our budget was spent, might seem insane. Nevertheless, our plan is this: On Night 1, 16 teams will compete until only 4 remain. On Night 2, 16 more teams will be whittled down to just 4 teams. The winners from Night 1 and Night 2 will advance into Night 3, where these 8 surviving teams will do battle in the final rounds of the world's biggest tag team tournament. I expect it will be swell."

Don't wait another minute! Buy your tickets now for the largest tag tournament ever held! It promises to be swell!

CHIKARA: Golden Dream Match!

When CHIKARA returns to Emmaus on Saturday, October 30th, a veritable indy impossibility will be presented! The current IWA Mid-South tag team champions, The Wild Cards, will lock up with CZW stand outs Sabian and Joker! Between then and now, the Cards have two scheduled title defenses, but regardless of the outcome, The Wild Cards will meet Sabian & Joker on October 30th.

In addition to the first confrontation between these two tandems, another famous first takes place on October 30th. The Torneo Cibernetica is coming to Emmaus Fire Co. 1, a 16-man elimination match like no other in pro-wrestling or lucha libre. Two squads of eight men apiece will compete in the biggest match in CHIKARA history. Wrestling on the CHIKARA squad thus far: Jigsaw, Mister ZERO, Gran Akuma, Jolly Roger, Icarus, Shane Storm and DJ Skittlez. The CHIKARA team has not announced the final member of their squad, but has said that it will go to "an obvious choice."

The other squad is comprised of Larry Sweeney's "Sweet & Sour International," and so far, the only confirmed wrestler from that side is Sweeney himself. Both teams will announce a "batting order" for their team as well, since under Cibernetica rules, the wrestlers can only enter and tag in a pre-arranged order. The first wrestler can only tag the second, the second can only tag the third, and so on.

THE WHAT: CHIKARA's final Emmaus event of 2004!
THE WHEN: Saturday, October 30th, with a 7:00 pm belltime.
THE WHERE: Emmaus Fire Co. 1, 50 South 6th Street in Emmaus
THE WHO: The whole CHIKARA gang!
THE HOW: By buying a ticket - they're just nine bucks!
THE WHY: Because we miss you.

On Saturday, October 30th, history will be made in Emmaus, PA, when CHIKARA presents a "Torneo Cibernetica," the first time ever in the American Northeast.

A "batting order" for this team is yet to be determined as well.
