Looks like they're doing daily updates about Dasher's Cibernetico draft picks. So far, Heidi Lovelace and N_R_G are on his team, leaving four more slots.

Based on some tweets, it looks like it Knight be Argus, Ophidian, and Sharon vs Battleborn now. That leaves Amasis, Ashley Remington, and someone else for Dasher's team. Maybe Arctic Rescue Ant?

I feel Oleg should win the match this year. Also, I had a friend take care of buying tickets to the show the other day and there were enough front row seats for her to ask me which side would be preferable. That's... not very promising for Chikara, but this has been an incredibly mild season, so I shouldn't be surprised.

What if Kimber Lee's team wins and then she enters the title match? That would be fun.

Those medallion things that Icarus and Kingston both brought out at the last Wrestle Factory show, which led into the Triple Threat match being booked, are apparently going to be the new thing going forward. The winners of the COTI final will each get three to use to cash in whenever they want. They're also now selling them in the ChikaraPro.com store. Limit 2 per customer. Makes me wonder if they'll pull an angle where some rudo buys two from the store and then takes the one they earn for winning a match to try to cheat the system.

Given how crazy the reaction was when he won Trios, I think if he won the Grand Championship the roof would have blown off the place. Less Ultramantis really makes me sad. I hope they can figure out a way to keep him around.

Edit: well that was a fun afternoon! I did not expect to spend a Saturday playing mini golf with wrestlers in a run-down old building amidst urban decay, but it was a pretty great time all around. And I hit an entirely intentional trick hole-in-one off a wall so no clubs were smashed.  The nerd herd gathers.  Oleg was puzzled by this modern game of hitting balls with sticks.  Heels gonna heel.  We were right behind this group of actual children. It was a good time.  Jakob absolutely wrecked Dasher at basketball. Shame there wasn't a baseball game!  Somebody got caught cheating.  They ran a JFDC vs. a fan match which was a total work, including inadvertent nut shot to Prakash.   Interesting venue!

That was the best non KOT CHIKARA show I've ever been apart of. And it gives KOT 2011 and 2012 a run for its money too. Top to bottom excellent show with multiple surprises. Really a feel good show overall. For the first time in a while, it had a true CHIKARA vibe to it.

More detailed results: 1) Battleborn (Snowflake, Missile Assault Man and Juke Joint Lucas Calhoun) vs. Snake Pit (Ophidian, Shynron and Argus): Ophidian hypnotized Juke Joint and challenged him to a martial arts battle. Juke Joint did Elvis Presley karate while Ophidian did snake style kung fu. Actually really cool and ended with Ophidian doing a one-inch punch to take him down. At the end of the match, it was just Snowflake and Argus in the ring with Snowflake begging off, yelling, "It's me, Kevin! Argus, it's Kevin! Please!" Argus beat him with some kind of modified World's Strongest Slam. 2) Silver Ant vs. Frightmare: Really solid match. It didn't hit me until halfway in that these two guys are not only two of the best guys on the roster, but despite being around forever, they've rarely, if ever, wrestled each other. It felt fresh and they had fantastic chemistry. Silver Ant put Frightmare in an ankle lock for the second time and Frightmare reversed it into a pin. 3) Batiri (Kodama, Obaryon and Kobald) vs. Gentleman's Club (Chuck Taylor, Drew Gulak and Orange Cassidy): Good comedy match, mainly from the GC. Chuck brought back the grenade, put it in one of the Batiri guys' pants and gave him an atomic drop. Everyone sold the blast and fell over/out of the ring. Cassidy double chokeslammed Kodama and Obaryon, put on his sunglasses and turned around into a Kobald spear to lose. After the match, Quack was introduced and came to the ring to show off the first copy of the new Chikara 2015 Yearbook. The lights suddenly turned out and when they came back on, Archie was in the ring, confused. He shoved Quack and stole the book. He flipped around, giggled for a bit, then seemed to have caught the part about his death in 2014. He freaked out and ran through the crowd, desperately yelling, "NOBODY TOUCH ME!" 4) Cibernatico Match of Team Dasher (Dasher Hatfield, Heidi Lovelace, Race Jackson, Hype Rockwell, Oleg the Usurper, Worker Ant, Farmer Frog and Amasis) vs. Team Juan Francisco (Juan Francisco de Coronado, Prakash Sabar, Proletariat Boar, Mr. Azerbaijan, Jakob Hammermeier, Pinkie Sanchez, Wani and Mr. Touchdown): If this was an iPPV, this would have killed the show dead. I mean, with the intermission included, it was a 4 hour show. The Cibernetico was fine for the most part, but it was 50 minutes long and was mostly for people who otherwise didn't have a role on the card. The Wrestlemania battle royal, if you will, only not on the pre-show and not only a few minutes long. Wani is basically supposed to be a Tajiri/Muta type and does a lot of the creepy stalking movements. He wears a luchador kabuki hybrid mask. Mr. Azerbaijan was eliminated immediately. He took down both straps and walked right into a roll-up from Dasher. The BDK guys took out four guys on their own, cleanly. Things didn't start to go wrong for them until Jakob tried putting his legs on the ropes and referee (and former BDK ref) Sabato refused to count. That'll be important for later. Mr. Touchdown seemed pretty down in the dumps about everything that's happened to him lately and was incredibly reluctant to face Heidi and Dasher. In the end, it was Dasher vs. Pinkie, Juan Francisco and Touchdown. He got past Pinkie. When Dasher was on the apron, Juan Francisco shoved Touchdown into him, which knocked Dasher into the railing. Dasher couldn't make the 20 count and right at the end of the count, Juan Francisco grabbed Touchdown from behind for a German suplex and won. 5) Soldier Ant vs. Fire Ant: If it wasn't so overbooked with drama in the end, this would be a MOTY contender. Jakob in Soldier's corner with Silver in Fire's corner. Silver got taken out early on. Fire and Soldier brawled around the arena. Fire would've won, but Jakob saved Soldier by putting his leg on the rope. Fans would occasionally chant "PLEASE REMEMBER" and Soldier would grab his head in pained confusion. He also tore off one of Fire's antennae. In the end, Jakob got in an argument with Sabato about not helping him cheat to win. As they got into it in the ring, Soldier stalked behind Sabato. Sabato dodged a knockout punch from Jakob, which hit Soldier instead. Soldier didn't go down, but stood bent over, grabbing his head. He looked over and Fire weakly walked up to him with his fists up, ready to fight. After a bit of hesitation, Soldier saluted to a HUGE pop and Fire immediately collapsed. Soldier threw Jakob from the ring. Silver returned and looked ready to fight. Instead, Soldier saluted and they hugged. Worker Ant hobbled out to a "PLEASE BE FRIENDS" chant and Soldier ended up saluting him. Worker pulled Soldier's hand down and took out the King of Trios 2011 medallion that Wink Vavasseur gave him years ago, placing it around Soldier's neck. Fire got up and the two embraced. Sabato decided to call off the match and the four ants raised their hands in the ring. Then Soldier saluted each side of the crowd before leaving. 6) Crown and Court (Princess Kimber Lee, Jervis Cottonbelly, Ice Cream Jr. and El Hijo del Ice Cream) vs. Wrecking Crew (Blaster McMassive, Max Smashmaster, Flex Rumblecrunch and Jaka): Very fun match based on C&C being total underdogs. Kimber Lee spent most of it out of action due to being crushed by a Smashmaster moonsault. In the end, she got her second wind and came in to clean house by dropping each Wrecking Crew member with German suplexes, ending with Smashmaster. Ended up pinning Blaster with an alligator clutch. After winning, she excitedly kissed Jervis, who passed out. Bryce awarded all of them with three gold discs each. 7) Hallowicked vs. Icarus vs. Eddie Kingston. Hallowicked and Icarus had some awesome gear tonight. Especially Hallowicked's black ram skull helmet. Amazing match that was practically non-stop. At one point Icarus looked to legit kick Kingston in the face super hard and it appeared to knock him loopy for a bit. By the end of the match, Icarus was laying on the apron, unconscious. Hallowicked did a running boot to Kingston and Kingston spun into a backfist. Both went down with Kingston landing on Hallowicked. Hallowicked kicked out, they got back up and Hallowicked ended up landing his new hooked-leg DDT move. He pinned Kingston and retained. Bryce had people come out to carry Icarus and Kingston to get them medical attention backstage. Kimber Lee ran out a minute or so later to cash in one of her Challenge of the Immortals discs. She took it to an exhausted Hallowicked for a moment as Frightmare ran out to interfere. Jervis dragged him away. Later, Blind Rage ran out for the rescue. Los Ice Creams dragged him away. Hallowicked took over and started hitting his various finishers (except the DDT move, which he couldn't connect with). Each time, Kimber Lee kicked out. She eventually took him down and locked in the Chikara Special, forcing him to tap. After the show, she went to the gimmick table and had fans take pictures with her. At one point, Smashmaster walked over, glared at her, silently nodded out of respect and walked away. It was cool. Also cool: Max Smashmaster had Ed Grimley hair for some reason.
