When STIGMA, the man then known as Shane Storm, interfered in the Young Lions Cup contest between Drake Younger and Vin Gerard at VANITY & VIOLENCE in August, he was making a decision with many consequences. Not only was he cementing his despicable rejection of his former friends and partners, and not only was he relinquishing the respect of everyone who had followed his career over the past 4 years, but he was also unintentionally making a very dangerous enemy in the form of Drake Younger. What was part of a grander statement for Storm was also the impetus for Drake Younger being disqualfied in the bout and subsequently cost an almost certain victory over an unconscious Vin Gerard.

Now, STIGMA has to own up to his decision in a very physical manner, as Drake Younger gets his chance for revenge in Streamwood, IL on 9/20. STIGMA has made quite the transformation over the past year, as bouts with Eddie Kingston, Brodie Lee, and Mike Quackenbush have shown his increasing skill as a wild and reckless brawler. But he can he hold his own with Drake Younger, man who has made his name by being pulled through barbed wire, glass, and thumbtacks (among many other sundry implements), and did so WITHOUT a major grudge to hold? Our discussions with Drake over the phone have without fail turned into Drake losing his cool when talking about the match at VANITY & VIOLENCE, and he has the full intention of beating the respect into the man who cost him the Cup in Philly?

Can STIGMA’s transformation prove to be enough to stop the onslaught of Drake? Or will STIGMA learn that his nose is best kept far away from the business of the “Psycho Shooter” as CHIKARA debut’s in Streamwood, IL?

Also headed to “The Artistic Pursuit of Being Yourself” is a CHIKARA stable, the gigantic multi-man tag! Streamwood will see Soldier Ant and Worker Ant of The Colony teaming with duo known in Mid-West circles as Threat Level Midnight, but known to us as our pals “Well-Mannered” Billy Roc and Trik Davis! Together, this quartet will be faced with a first-time collaboartion of evil as UltraMantis Black and Crossbones of The Order of The Neo-Solar Temple join forces with Ophidian and Amasis, collectively known as The Osirian Portal. These eight competitors would love nothing more than to make their names in the Mid-West with a big-time win in Streamwood.

Can The Colony and Threat Level Midnight find the right chemistry on Saturday, September 20th? Or will the forces of evil prevail as The Order and The Osirian Portal combine the forces of their respective Gods to overhelm the tecnico foursome?
