CHIKARA Wrestling 10/9

Philadelphia Gets In On THE GLOBAL GAUNTLET In Just 10 Days!

CHIKARA’s Chicago and Cleveland Debuts Now Available on DVD at SmartMarkVideo.com!

The time is ticking, and the expectations are an all time high, CHIKARMY, as we are just 10 days from the massive collision that is THE GLOBAL GAUNTLET: CHIKARA vs. Big Japan Wrestling in Easton on Saturday, October 18th, and glorious South Philadelphia on Sunday, October 19th. With the BJW contingent slated to arrive in the States late next week, Team CHIKARA, as announced earlier this week by Captain Mike Quackenbush, has gone into deep preparation for the exhaustive undertaking that lies ahead of them. Let’s take a look at that, as well what else is lined up for the 2nd half of THE GLOBAL GAUNTLET, as we return to the famed New Alhambra Arena for another Sunday afternoon of wrestling fun…

While Night One of THE GLOBAL GAUNTLET in Easton will feature a BJW-curated Best-Of-5 singles challenge series, Night Two finds the ball in CHIKARA’s court, and has led to the creation of a 7-on-7 match that give THE GLOBAL GAUNTLET its name. Both teams have designated their line-ups, and the order of entry into the match (as seen above), and will send their men into battle, one by one, staring Jaki Numazawa for BJW and Gran Akuma for CHIKARA, until a side has seen all 7 men eliminated. It is a true marathon of a fight that will see competitors faced with a constant stream of fresh opponents, as they struggle to regain their composure from the last challenge. Here are the finalized line-ups for both squads

CHIKARA:
1) Gran Akuma
2) Fire Ant
3) Soldier Ant
4) Worker Ant
5) Eddie Kingston
6) Mike Quackenbush (C)
7) Claudio Castagnoli

Big Japan Wrestling:
1) Jaki Numazawa
2) Atsushi Ohashi
3) Katsumasa Inoue
4) Shinya Ishikawa
5) Ryuji Ito (C)
6) Yuji Okabayashi
7) Daisuke Sekimoto

Also on tap for Philly is a huge undercard of bouts featuring the rest of your CHIKARA favorites, including the NEW CHIKARA Campeones de Parejas, Player Uno and Player Dos, The Super Smash Brothers. Always the fighting duo, the SSBs have signed for a non-title bout against the team that they defeated in August in to earn the first point in their quest, The Osirian Portal. Amasis and Ophidian have not forgotten the embarrassment of being defeated at “All That Glitters”, and want to prove to the SSBs and the world that they are the truly superior duo, belts or no belts. This one could also be a preview of a future title bout, as The Osirians have 2 points heading into THE GLOBAL GAUNTLET, and could leave Night One in Easton with the necessary three to cash in for a title shot down the line - that is, of course, if they manage to get past the SSBs in Philly.

Also signed for Philly is another match with title ramifications, as well as an increasingly heated grudge to be settled as Jimmy Jam Olsen finds himself in (hypothetical) one-on-one action with Young Lions Cup champion Vin Gerard of the “UnStable” group that emerged last month in Philadelphia at the expense of Jimmy’s face and neck. While Vin Gerard has once again insisted that Jimmy is not a Cup-level challenger, he has agreed that a win here would be Jimmy in line for a shot in the future. But honestly, speaking with Jimmy Olsen in the time since his brother Colin joined up with Vin Gerard and STIGMA last month, he’s more concerned with ringing his hands around the neck of the man Jimmy claims poisoned the mind of his brother than earning a future title shot. Colin told Jimmy that he needed focus, but did the UnStable get more than they bargained for by drawing the wrath of a furious, and borderline obsessed Jimmy Olsen?

And with the previously mentioned appearance of the NEW Campeones de Parejas on tap for Philly, we have the strange task of announcing the appearance of the FORMER Campeones de Parjes for Night Two of THE GLOBAL GAUNTLET as well. It will be the team of Incoherence (Hallowicked and Delirious), the most successful duo ever to hold the gold, going back to basics and looking for their first point against a duo that is looking accumulate a third point, UltraMantis Black and Crossbones, collectively known as The Order Of The Neo-Solar Temple! The animosity between these two sides goes back nearly three years, as it was injury to UMB that brought Hallowicked and Delirious together in the first place. The pairs have always been at odds, even up through last month in Philadelphia when Incoherence, Helios and Hydra defeated the odd-ball foursome of the Neo Solar Temple and The Best Around. Will this be a new day for Incoherence as they look to become the first two-time champions in CHIKARA, or the potential reign of deep, dark night as The Order tries to claim the third and final point?

October 19th in Philly will also see the end of what has become a ritual over the course of the past few months here at the OFFICE. After last month’s two -DQs in 3 minutes debacle, Eddie Kingston has declared he is done fighting the young man who has obsessively challenged him all summer long, Lince Dorado. Despite Lince’s best efforts to convince him otherwise, Kingston would not budge on his stance, and has instead elected to join up with Team CHIKARA for the THE GLOBAL GAUNTLET match. That decision left Lince with no opponent, until the always cantankerous Icarus of F.I.S.T. got wind of the situation during a visit to the OFFICE last week. Long story short, Icarus claims to have no problem matching the kind of beatings Kingston has inflicted on Lince, and challenged “The Golden Lynx” to try his best to get up from the assualt of “The Winged Ring Warrior” in Philadelphia. In no time flat, Lince accepted the challenge, and these two long-time enemies will do battle at Night Two of THE GLOBAL GAUNTLET.

Lastly for today’s announcements, a tag bout pitting two newfound rival factions against each other as “The Big League Superstar” Colin Delaney and STIGMA of the UnStable face the challenge of Tim Donst and his resident BFF, “The All-Natural Nautical Nuisance” Hydra, known worldwide as The Sea Donsters. Donst’s September saw plenty of unpleasant interaction with the UnStable, including being FU’d on a the concrete floor at STYLE & SUBSTANCE, and being ambushed relentlessly in Cleveland. Suffice to say, the All-American isn’t ready to back off the fight just yet, and has enlisted the help of his newly-well amigo Hydra to attempt to even the score with Delaney and STIGMA. Will the combination that proved to be magic all summer long be the answer to the Donst’s problems heading into the fall?

INJURIES & CHANGES TO REVENGEANCE LINE-UP BRING NEW FACES TO IWC!

Unfortunately, there are some last minute changes to Revengeance 5 that we must report.

First, Raymond Rowe is out for Saturday’s card due to a death in the family. We’d like to send out our condolences to Rowe and his family on their loss. Also, due to a communication issue between them and promoter Norm Connors, Irish Airborne has been forced to pull off Revengeance 5! as well. They will debut for IWC shortly. Finally, “Balls Hot” Troy Lords has been forced to pull out of his match with Shane Taylor due to an injury.

Replacing Rowe will be none other than former WWE star Colin Delaney! This will be Delaney’s debut for IWC. Before his stint in WWE, Colin plied his trade across the independent scene as one half of the “feel good tag team of the decade” The Olsen Twins along with his brother Jimmy Olsen. After the team made their name in such companies as NWA Upstate, Chikara, and UWA Hardcore. Colin was signed by WWE in 2007 and quickly became popular for proving he could take a beating and keep coming back for more. After an 8 month stint with WWE, Colin has returned to the independant scene. His opponent will be none other than “Fabulous” John McChesney, the 3 seed in the IWC World Heavyweight Title Tournament, scheduled for October 25th & 26th. After abandoning the War Machine to become his own man, McChesney seems to have won back the respect of the IWC crowd. With the IWC Title Tournament right around the corner, the “Fabulous” One will be looking to pick up some momentum going into his first round match against Vendetta. Will McChesney pick up the much-needed victory over the debuting Delaney? Or will Colin make his name in IWC by taking out the only 4-time Super Indy Champion his first time out?

Replacing Irish Airborne will be former NWA Upstate, IWA Mid-South, and UWA Hardcore Tag Team Champions Cheech & Cloudy! Sometimes known as Up In Smoke or the Miracle Ultraviolence Connection, Cheech & Cloudy are tag team specialists. Making their IWC debuts this Saturday, they bring incredible aerial abilities and innovative double-team maneauvers like Death By Knees and Partly Cloudy With A Chance Of Cheech to the already hot IWC tag team division. Their opponents will be former IWC Tag Team Champions BabyFace Fire and the Gambino Brothers in what is sure to be a huge 3-way dance! Marshall Gambino is looking for a chance to take out Shiima Xion after Shiima knocked Marshall out of the IWC Title Tournament. Both Gambino brothers have been uncharacteristically quiet about the fact that their cousin Jimmy DeMarco & his partner Vendetta have qualified for the tournament and they haven’t. This could be a huge opportunity for Cheech & Cloudy to make their impact on IWC their first night in. If they should score a win over the former tag team champions, that would propel them up the tag team rankings. What will happen when Cheech & Cloudy debut against two top IWC tag teams in the Gambino Brothers and BabyFace Fire at Court Time Sports Center in Elizabeth, PA on October 11th?!

Replacing Troy Lords against Shane Taylor will be a man at a turnaround in his IWC career, “DeeeeeeeLicious” Jimmy DeMarco! DeMarco challenged his cousin Mickey Gambino at Boiling Point 3 on September 13th in an IWC World Heavyweight Title Tournament qualifying match. While DeMarco seemed to take the match lightly in the weeks leading up to it, the night of the match was a totally different story. Right as DeMarco was about to walk through the curtain, he was confronted by IWC’s new authority figure, Bubba the Bulldog. Bubba reiterated his speech from earlier in the night, telling Jimmy not to live with regrets and to take himself seriously. Taking that advice, Jimmy changed his plan. As Mickey planted the “kiss of death” on Jimmy, expecting him to lay down, Jimmy revolted and kicked out. That single action made Jimmy DeMarco a new man in IWC. A fire seemed to light underneath him as he fought to earn himself a spot in the IWC World Heavyweight Title Tournament. After delivering the Candy Coated Cookie Cutter to Mickey, Jimmy earned that spot. With the tournament a mere two weeks after Revengeance 5!, Jimmy will be looking to pick up momentum leading into his match with Johnny Gargano. Unfortunately for Jimmy, his opposition on Saturday will be J-Rocc’s newest Cleveland monster, Shane Taylor. His first night in IWC, Taylor will be looking to make a statement, to the fans, IWC officials, and to his first round opponent in the tournament, Ray Rowe. But Jimmy D isn’t an opponent to take lightly. Will Taylor make the impact he wants? Or can Jimmy D conquer the Cleveland monster his first night in?
