CHIKARA The Cibernetico Rises - November 18th

[AZUCAR!]

THE MIGHTY TORNEO CIBERNETICO!

One on One!

First Time Ever!

Last Minute Addition to the Card!

Singles Action!

A Cibernetico, or "circuit match" is a concept pioneered by CMLL in Mexico. In its classic form, a Cibernetico is composed of 2 squads of 8 wrestlers apiece (there have been variations on this over the years.) These wrestlers are put into a specific order by their team captain, and this dictates the order in which they can tag. For example, the first wrestler on the squad can only tag the man behind him, so when the match begins, that would be the second wrestler. The second wrestler can only tag the third wrestler, and so on.

These are elimination matches, but as the squads shrink, each wrestler can only tag whoever is behind them in the batting order. So if Wrestler # 6 is the first one pinned, then the next time around Wrestler # 5 will tag out to Wrestler # 7 in the batting order.

Only one person can win a Cibernetico, so if an entire squad is eliminated, the remaining wrestlers will continue to rotate through the batting order, but face off against each other until only one is left standing.

Ew, not a fan of that match at all. The Cibernetico should be real good though.

 

[Chris]

Steen's Cibernetico Team has been revealed. I'm a fan of all added.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Bravado's? meh. I'm pleased to see The Briscoes getting a Chikara booking. Young Bucks make sense as they're the current Tag Champs of Chikara. And i'm a fan of Jimmy Jacobs being added. Just a shame there's not a role for Corino. I'd of rather seen Corino and someone else, than The Bravado's.

 

[Chris]

Think they definitely could have done better than the Bravados. I like them, but they haven't done jack shit in either ROH or CHIKARA lately other than job. The match should still be just fine though.

Soldier Ant vs Mr. Touchdown confirmed.

 

[Chris]

Kingston's team has been confirmed, that match should be great.

Also, Saturyne vs Icarus was changed to Hatfield vs Icarus, not sure why, I'll look into it.

 

[BDC]

Definitely a fan of Chicara! What happened to the Batari? lol. Should be fun!

 

[AZUCAR!]

I'm sure they'll get added to the card. They're on the Chikara shows the week before Cibernetico rises.

As for Kingston's team, it's a pretty strong one that Wink has put together. I still hope Steen's team will win though.

Saturyne is injured, Chris, thus why she was replaced.

 

[Chris]

Figured that was it, just wanted to be sure. Hatfield vs Icarus is a better match-up anyhow.

Tim Donst was the final winner and pinned Eddie Kingston in the finals, then beat him down and said he had two weeks notice meaning that the main event of CHIKARA Under the Hood will see Kingston vs. Donst for the Grand Championship.
