It's a gimmick promotion?

New Podcast-a-Go-Go HD theme leads off the show; the crowd doesn’t enjoy it anywhere near as much as the old theme.

1. Jagged & Shane Matthews [2.0] vs. Hallowicked & Frightmare [Incoherence]: The quest for one point (again) stops short here in the rematch. No Brodie Lee to give 2.0 the upper hand means no victory for them as Hallowicked hits Jagged with the Rydeen Bomb for the victory. Fun opener.

2. Hydra vs. Grizzly Redwood: Hydra entering the FunPlex to the lovely tones of Lady Gaga. The Grizz rolls up Hydra with some help from the ropes to get the quick win in a lighthearted competition.

3. Eddie Kingston vs. Create-A-Wrestler: Kingston brings the pain in a big way, taking out his aggression on Create-a-Wrestler by bruising up his chest to a dark shade of purple early on. Kingston, as expected, gets the win with the spinning backfist, though CAW put up one hell of a fight and impressed the hot Easton crowd.

4. Helios & Lince Dorado [The Future Is Now] & Jigsaw vs. Chuck Taylor, Icarus & Gran Akuma [F.I.S.T.]: The biggest news of the night comes as F.I.S.T. enters the building, as it’s revealed that Icarus has added color to his tattoo and a nose piercing. Yeesh. The King of Trios champs reign supreme as Gran Akuma and Chuck Taylor pull off the “Dinner n’ Drinks” Yoshi Tonic/Sole Food on Jigsaw for the win. Great sprint with one hell of a dive by Helios.

Intermission.

5. Arik Cannon vs. Delirious: Delirious comes out accompanied by the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple, wearing black and white gear to fit in with the rest of the crew. He also didn’t spaz out at the sound of the bell…strange. Mantis has the Eye of Tyr around his neck, clearly controlling Delirious throughout most of the match. The finish is a surprise, as Delirious hits Cannon with the Praying Mantis Bomb for the win. The Order has definitely found their third member!

6. STIGMA vs. Tim Donst: The two men go to war with one another, including a DISGUSTING STO by STIGMA on the floor. Donst comes back later on with an STO of his own on the apron. A clearly brutal match all around, Donst taps out STIGMA with the CHIKARA Special. Better than what one would expect from these two.

7. Player Uno & Player Dos [Super Smash Bros.] & Fire Ant & Soldier Ant [The Colony] vs. Ophidian & Amasis [The Osirian Portal] & El Hijo del Ice Cream & Ice Cream Jr. [Los Ice Creams]: Great match early on, tons of fun spots all around. Crazy match with all eight men going all over the place doing insane stuff. Fire Ant pins one of the Ice Creams with a GI-Ant. Great match! After the match, Chuck Taylor came out wearing a Fire Ant shirt and one of the new replica Soldier Ant masks and lowblows Fire Ant while Icarus runs in and pedigrees Soldier Ant to get a leg up on tomorrow’s big mask vs. hair match.

8. Vin Gerard vs. Claudio Castagnoli: Great neck-and-neck match that really established Vin as one of the top names of the company. Gerard gets the win over Claudio with some help from STIGMA, sealing the deal with a jackknife pin. Great show, see you tomorrow for “Aniversario Yang”!

1. El Hijo del Ice Cream & Ice Cream Jr. [Los Ice Creams] vs. Brodie Lee & Grizzly Redwood [The Roughnecks]: Wacky match with a lot of fun antics that Brodie Lee was none too pleased to play along with. In a mild upset, Grizzly Redwood pins both El Hijo del Ice Cream and Ice Cream Jr. after being launched on top of them by Brodie. Roughnecks on the board with their first point.

2. Arik Cannon vs. Ophidian: The much anticipated singles bout between CHIKARA’s past and future only disappointed in that it shouldn’t have been second on the card. Absolutely awesome with tons of false finishes. Ophidian gets the pin with the prawn hold in one of the better CHIKARA singles matches in a while.

3. UltraMantis Black, Crossbones & Delirious [The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple] vs. Player Uno, Player Dos & Create-a-Wrestler [Saturday Night Slam Masters]: With the addition of Delirious to the Neo-Solar Temple, this match became an impromptu trios bout with Create-a-Wrestler joining up with SSB to form the Saturday Night Slam Masters. At one point in the match, Player Dos hit a Death Valley Driver on Crossbones! The finish saw Mantis pinning Uno after Delirious hit him with a Praying Mantis Bomb.

4. Vin Gerard & Colin Delaney [The UnStable] vs. D’Lo Brown & Glacier: Early on in the match there are shades of the infamous Negative Balance tag match as Vin Gerard gets legit KO’d about two minutes in. Heavy mouth bleeding, not really looking good for him. Colin getting a little bit of blood himself, STIGMA out to ringside to help out his UnStable partners. The crowd is white hot and into all of the action of the match as the UnStable beat down both legends to get the upper hand again. The match breaks down into absolute insanity towards the end - D’Lo locks the CHIKARA Special on Colin, and while the referee is paying attention to that, STIGMA throws a lead pipe into the ring. Before any member of the UnStable can use the pipe, though, Glacier hits Vin Gerard with the Cryonic Kick for the victory. D’Lo hits a Lo Down after the match in celebration. “The best Glacier match of all his stuff in CHIKARA.”

Intermission.

5. Tim Donst & Hydra [The Sea Donsters] vs. Jagged & Shane Matthews [2.0]: Fun, lighthearted match throughout. Good match to come back from after intermission. Jagged reversed Hydra’s sunset flip for the pin. After the match, Donst shows a little bit of frustration and refuses to forgive Hydra for the loss.

6. Lince Dorado, Helios [The Future Is Now], Jigsaw & Mike Quackenbush vs. Hallowicked & Frightmare [Incoherence] & KC “Cloudy” Day & Cheech Hernandez: Quack makes a surprise appearance as the fill-in for Equinox, possibly his last match before his big back operation. Incoherence comes out…but then another Incoherence comes out? C&C are so convincing that people didn’t realize it was them coming out first until Hallowicked and Frightmare come out with new orange/black gear! A Cheech slingshot senton landed directly on Jig’s face, busting open his nose. Cheech gets the pin on Lince following the Shining Wizard/Powerbomb combo. “One hell of a match.”

7. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Eddie Kingston: A rematch from last November’s “Armdrags to Riches” show in Connecticut, and it delivered on expectations in a big way. Kingston put away Claudio with an Oklahoma Roll to get the win.

8. Lucha de Apuestas ~ Double Hair vs. Double Mask Match: Icarus & Chuck Taylor [F.I.S.T.] vs. Fire Ant & Soldier Ant [The Colony]: The atmosphere in the Arena is described as incredible, just absolutely electric. Everyone is anticipating the big match coming up. Gran Akuma and Green Ant are out in their respective team’s corners as seconds. Chuck Taylor with an Omega Driver on Soldier Ant off the apron and through a table! Fire Ant pins Chuck Taylor with the Beach Break for the big victory! New Ant in brown fends off Akuma. One of the best CHIKARA matches ever.
