The Event Centre is back! Well I guess we know Jimmy Jacobs will be there, if nothing else.

Speaking of which, I got the free e-book that comes with ordering the PPV. It has profiles on the following, so we can safely this lot will definitely be back:

Spoiler

Eddie Kingston
The Colony (Fire Ant, Green Ant, Worker Ant)
Icarus
The Baltic Seige (Estonian Thunderfrog, Latvian Proud Oak, Lithuaniun Snow Troll)
The Throwbacks (Dasher Hatfield, Mr. Touchdown)
Pieces Of Hate (Jigsaw, The Shard)
Archibald Peck
3.0 (Scott Parker, Shane Matthews)
Sidney Bakabella's Wrecking Crew (Max Smashmaster, Flew Rumblecrunch, Blaster McMassive, Jaka, Oleg The Usurper)
The Osirian Portal (Amasis, Ophidian)
The Batiri (Obariyon, Kodama, Kobald)
Shynron
The Spectral Envoy (Ultramantis Black, Hallowicked, Frightmare)
Jervis Cottonbelly
The Colony Xtreme Force (Missle Assault Ant, Orbit Adventure Ant, Artic Rescue Ant)
Chuck Taylor
GEKIDO (17, combatANT, deviANT)
Los Ice Creams

The "Wrestling Is" influence is definitely going to be felt in the new CHIKARA.

I'm ok with that. A lot of these guys fit the Chikara mold really well and will make for a great fun new Chikara.

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

Two matches are confirmed for "You Only Live Twice"!

First match announced was The Batiri vs. Sinn Bodhi & The Odditorium (Qefka the Quiet and Oliver Grimsly). Yeah, I was surprised that was the first announced too.

The second was a four corner elimination tag match. The participants are currently yet to be announced.

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

Four corners sounds sweeeet! Sinn Bodhi being back... not so sweet. It only makes sense though. Screw it, The Batiri rule and having them against their former master and his new crew works for me. I've heard of Grimsley but mainly that his character is ok while his in ring work isn't anything special.

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

good character but bad ring work? Sounds like he'll get along with Bodhi just fine :

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

Now that CHIKARA is back can anyone explain to me what the purpose of the "wrestling is" storyline was and why CHIKARA cancelled all of their 2013 shows?

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

Wrestling Is was to keep the talent in a job whilst Chikara was dead, plus giving them a platform to progress the story.

There is a Art Of Wrestling podcast explaining the whole thing, but i haven't heard it yet

What I mean is why close your company and cancel your events? What did they hope to gain from that? Seems awfully senseless to me.

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

in the best news possible, the one match I wanted is set for "You Only Live Twice".

Eddie Kingston defends the Grand Championship against Icarus!

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

3.0 are the first team confirmed for the 4 corner tag match.

I have a hunch that whoever wins the Tag World Grand Prix will be facing Pieces Of Hate on the show.

Hooray for finally getting a finish! :

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

If Icarus challenging Kingston ends the same way as last time...

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

New match added:

Archibald Peck vs. Jimmy Jacobs!

Now that's a match I can get in to!

 

[Castiel]

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

Impossible not to be pumped for that match. Two of the best.

 

[Postman Dave]

Re: The New Deluxe CHIKARA Thread

Second team confirmed for the four way tag match. Representing the GEKIDO are 17 & deviANT.

Also added to the card, The Spectral Envoy vs. The BDK.

If this means an in ring return for Tursas I'll be ecstatic.

EDIT: It doesn't, BDK will be Ares, Nøkken & Milo Schnitzler. I am disappoint.
