Chikara News


The month of July is unique on the CHIKARA calendar! We're offering up just one giant, star-studded card, on Sunday afternoon, July 13th, at our homebase of the New Alhambra in Philadelphia. This one will be a card on par with our very finest stand-alone events, and every loyal member of the CHIKARMY will want to be on hand when "Tragedy and Triumph" plays in South Philly!
.
Among these is the long-anticipated rematch between the two largest men on our roster - Brodie Lee and Claudio Castagnoli. Their two previous bouts have ended in disqualifications, and for that reason, our Director of Fun Leonard F. Chikarason has stipulated that the bout will have No Disqualification, but will have 2 officials assigned should the action get out of control.
.
In addition to which, tag team partners will collide when "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush takes on his protege and partner Shane Storm, in a match signed by the Director of Fun just this past week. Rumors sparked over Young Lions Cup weekend seem to indicate that Shane Storm taught the counter to the CHIKARA Special to Chris Hero last November, and our company founder wants answers. He may get them when Quack and Storm meet in their first ever singles encounter!
.
There will be a total of 9 bouts that make up the card, here are the first four we have to confirm:
.
~Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide~
Mike Quackenbush vs. Shane Storm

~Who is Rey de "Rey de Voladores"?~
