So Chikara just posted this to their YouTube.

The description just reads "5.7.16"

No idea what it means yet.

Now they've posted this.



Some kind of Royal Rumble/Aztec Warfare show?

Results out of Gibsonville:


The New Batch
1. United Nations (Boar & Sabar) def. Los Ice Creams with a pumphandle slam and an assisted splash.
2. Officer Warren Barksdale def. Devo Riggs with the 'Obey the Law' (suplex flipped into a slam)
3. Amasis def. Rock Lobster with a 450 splash.
4. Argus def. Hermit Crab with a rear naked choke.
5. Oleg the Usurper def. Blaster McMassive with a top-rope chokeslam.
6. Best of 3 Falls Campeonatos de Parejas Match - N_R_G def. Battleborn (Missile & Calhoun) to retain the Campeonatos de Parejas, 2 falls to 1.
7. Encore Match - Ophidian def. Chuck Taylor(TM) with the Meteora.

Secret of the Ooze
1. Eddie Kingston def. Pinkie Sanchez (w/ Jakob Hammermeier) with the Backfist to the Future.
2. Wani & Juan Francisco de Coronado def. Icarus & Mr. Touchdown when Wani pinned Icarus off a reversed small package (thanks to JFDC).
- Once again, JFDC painted Touchdown as a cheater in the eyes of the ref, this time by pulling off a turnbuckle pad.
- Between the matches, while the ring was getting repaired, Chuck Taylor(TM) sang out in the crowd to a 'certain someone who won't get their name back.'
3. Jaka def. Fire Ant with a Jumanji Bomb. Jaka now has three points. Post-match, Jakob Hammermeier came out to celebrate, his Eye of Tyr container box in hand.
4. Dasher Hatfield def. Flex Rumblecrunch with a jackhammer to break his losing streak.
5. BDK (Jakob, Hallowicked, Frightmare) def. The Batiri (Obariyon, Kodama, Kobald) when Hallowicked hit Kobald with the Never Wake Up (cross-legged DDT).
- During the match, Jakob accidentally chopped Wicked and the Nightmare Warriors confronted him. He reminded them he was in charge, and Wicked replied, "Hallowicked obeys."
- Post match, Wicked and Frightmare stole the Eye of Tyr box and Wicked said he only obeyed Nazmaldun.
6. Grand Championship Match - Princess KimberLee def. Heidi Lovelace with a crossface/crab submission.
- Reportedly an epic match. Crowd could barely chant after the match. Entire locker room (minus Devastation Corporation) came out to watch the match.
7. Encore Match - Snake Pit (Ophidian & Shynron) def. Battleborn (Calhoun & Missile) when Ophidian hit the Meteora on Calhoun.
- Ophidian hypnotized everyone and they danced. A hypnotized Missile Assault Man danced to the back, leaving Calhoun alone.

Kimber Lee defending against Heidi Lovelace was an instant classic and literal history being made. It is the first time EVER that the main event of a show of a mixed gender promotion was a title match for the highest title in the promotion between two women.

Like imagine the Main Event of NXT: Takeover Brooklyn between Bayley and Sasha Banks, and make it for the WWE Title.

And they TORE THE loving HOUSE DOWN.

They were super emotional, and worked their asses off. I feel blessed to have been there.

My #2 match of the year after Trevor Lee and Roy Wilkins going 105 minutes in the same ring, in the the same building, in the same little town in North Carolina. It's a good year for instant classics in the Mid-Atlantic Sportatorium.

Kimber Lee/ Lovelace was one of the best women's matches I've ever seen, and maybe the best match I've ever actually had the opportunity to see live. Of course, the whole show in general was fun too! The only thing that dragged it down was the incredibly loud, obnoxious guy in a raincoat sitting behind me.

The last time the Sendai Girls were at KoT, it was absolutely phenomenal and I lost my voice cheering their matches.
I don't know how to appropriately convey my enthusiasm for this KoT, so here is this tangentially related gif:

So the crab people (Hermit Crab & Rock Lobster) are out of TWGP this weekend due to injury.

But we have Tabarnak de Team to make up for it, apparently.

I've basically stopped following the company as they don't tour western PA and LU has more or less filled that niche for me now, but KoT is usually fun and I hope they bring in some interesting outside teams.

Curious, are they still called that in Chikara? I could see Quack not wanting to use the name even though it would only be non PG in Quebec.

They were called that on Chikara's Twitter, so my guess is "yes." Until and unless they're announced as something else come Saturday.

So I haven't seen the full results of Saturday's shows posted, but apparently at one point, Hallowicked and Frightmare used the Eye of Tyr on UltraMantis Black. UltraMantis went in a haze and referred to them as his broadsword and spear before commanding them to take him home.

Argus confirmed on Twitter that, yep, UltraMantis is Nazmaldun. Or is possessed by him. Either way.

Well that's a cool way to still have him be apart of the show even after he had to retire. I wonder if UltraMantis being Nazmaldun was always the plan or if this was a change they made recently.

From what I've heard, he was originally tapped as the guy who would beat Hallowicked for the Grand Championship, then his knee went kaboom, so they took a hard left and put the belt on Kimber instead.

I kinda hope it's a possession angle, because otherwise they're looping back around to a story they've already told.

"I was being quiet and trying to be a good boy but he dialed the right combination to open the throw-down vault and it was on."

"Walter Foxx is ten times brighter than your bulb at the bottom of the tree merry xmas"
From what I can tell:

- female fan complains about ADULT MEN at chikara show
- person replies going all "ugh, dev corp stans, the worst!"
- Dev Corp/Blaster begins fairly tame, saying something along the lines of "i thought the chikarmy had each other's backs"
- DC/Blaster then says something to the effect of "You ignore one rat at merch and then she says all this stuff online"
- DC/Blaster tweets more at fan, calling her a rat
