4. Chuck Taylor vs Passion Hasegawa
Passion's chest is welted BAD. Much dancing from Passion, Chuck, and the great boogie-down stylings of referee PJ Drummond. Passion's chest was once again the target of much abuse. Chuck gets the victory with the Omega Driver. Fun match, Passion seems like a guy that'll really stand out in a trios match, so tomorrow will be his day. Quote me on that.

5. MIYAWAKI vs Claudio Castagnoli
Everyone wins in this match, for it is awesome. Claudio pinned MIYAWAKI with the Ricola Bomb. A TWO MINUTE standing applause. Easily a main event quality match.
Intermission.

6. Mike Quackenbush, DONST and Super Smash Bros. vs Team FIST and the Marvelous Two
Icarus has made the threat to steal George's beard. Wiggly happens to be the most unfunny man in the world, with a Ryder impersonation that sounds more like Scooby Doo than anything. Mitch pins Uno with a zany ending that saw wrestlers all over the building. Good stuff, Stupefied is going to fit right in here.
7. Young Lions Cup: Helios (c) vs Fire Ant
Helios' music is the same as the ROH back-from-intermission music, and that makes me sad because I have to think about ROH. Sad Helios wins an awesome little match with the running SSP that needs a name. Not much special, but it was still cool. Fire Ant needs YLC VI.
8. Mask vs Hair: Chris Hero vs Equinox
Hero tears the mask! What a jerk. Hero escapes the Chikara Special and wins with one of his own. Alright match, went on a little too long but it was an awesome ending. Equinox is crying, what a shame. I'm so sad. Equinox is revealed as not just a gringo, but as a liar, a fraud and someone that wasn't good enough to make it into Chikara without lying. Fantastic promo at the ending. The rest of the masked technicos walked out on stage and sent him packing, ashamed of such a liar.
HOORAY NO MORE EQUINOX I mean awwwww so sad.
9. Campeonatos de Parejas: Incoherence (c) vs Cheech and Cloudy
Cheech and Cloudy...aren't here. Their three points have been granted to INCOHERENCITO.
Campeonatos de Parejas: Incoherence (c) vs Incoherencito
First Fall:
A large dispute over who is the real Incoherence after Delirious looks at...himself. This is weirder than the Colony last night. Add in the fact that there's a third Delirious in the crowd, and I'm lost. Hallowicked pins Hallowickedcito after a failed bodyslam.
Incoherence win the first fall, up 1-0
Second Fall:
After the bell rang to start the fall, Delirious and Deliriouscito ran to the back. Their partners followed them to the back, and after what must've been a wild and wacky chase...Cheech and Cloudy are here! After some clarification by Bryce, it was determined that the first fall would still count as a win for Incoherence.
Campeonatos de Parejas: Incoherence (c) vs Cheech and Cloudy
Cheech and Cloudy look a bit tired from the travel, but still keeping up with the campeones. However, they were able to pull it together, as Cheech hits Delirious with the Go2Cheech.
One fall a piece going into the third and final fall.
Third fall:
In one of the best third falls, Hallowicked hits the Graveyard Smash for the pin and victory. GREAT match.

3. The Osirian Portal vs Lince Dorado and El PanteraTell the DVDVR they can go screw themselves, because there's no way Apache is a greater meatball than Pantera. Also, they hate fake results more than this place and that hurts my soul. A Lince vs Amasis match must happen in 08, because they are money together. Ryder and Hero on commentary is also, in fact, money. Ophidian pins Lince after distraction from Ryder, sending them back to square one with zero points. Haha, I CALLED IT! YES! Sounds like a very good show, especially MIYAWAKI/Claudio and the title match. However I am worried by the further dissention between Mantis/Hydra. I hope it's all a friendly midsunderstanding. I also like the idea at ChikaraFans of adding a heel Shane Storm to the Order. Speaking of adding people to the Order, now that Equinox seems to be a rejected loner fraud, will the Order offer him support in return for his allegiance? I think 2008 could be a great year for the Neo Solar Temple.

Hello again, everyone. I can attest that the show in Hellertown last night was incredible. I honestly don't have a whole lot of live notes to add since many things I was going to touch on were mentioned in the results themselves. But of course, I will offer a few thoughts and tidbits that I can recall because that's how I roll.
- I honestly hope there's some sort of explanation of the Mantis/Hydra situation on the DVD. I need closure on that odd ending.
- Tea and Crumpets, you definitely called it. As much of a shame as it is that Lince and Pantera now have zero points, I think this may be the start of The Osirion Portal's rise to greatness in '08
- Passion Hasegawa is quite easily my second favorite dancing wrestler, right behind Claudio of course.
- PJ Drummond is the whitest man on the planet... but he still dances better than I do.
- Early in the eight-man atomicos match, Quack had Ryder in a leg submission hold that really worked on the knee and had Ryder - for lack of a better term - growling in pain. After breaking the hold, Quack quipped "I've got to remember that one. Might be a new finisher". I suggested it be called the CHIKARA Special Version 2.0
- I must respectfully disagree with whomever posted the results originally. Wiggly had our contingency dying with laughter with his interpretation of Mitch Ryder.
- Whenever Icarus was in the ring, the crowd booed the entire time. I believe this lead to the longest, continuous boo in history when we must've booed him at least a good two minutes when he first got in the ring.
- The upbeat mood of the night shifted drastically after the Hero/Equinox match, especially when The Colony, Lince, Pantera and Shane Storm threw Equinox's suitcase (which was apparently empty) at him and sent him out of the buliding without so much as a jacket. A smattering of boos for the masked technicos when this occured.
- The depressed mood quickly lifted when the Campeonatos de Perejas match started. This was by far the most entertaining match I have ever seen, I was dying with laughter throughout.
- After Incoherence and Incoherencecito disappeared to the back, the crowd actually began to clap despite there being an empty ring with nothing going on.
- Some guy who thought he was oh so clever tried to get an "I'm confused" chant going while the teams had disappeared. Oh wait, that was me. And it worked! God, I love audience participation
- Speaking of Audience Participation, there sure was a lot of it. Prime examples: A small group of people who cheered wildly whenever it was announced a match was scheduled for one fall and then expressed confusion when the title match was announced as two out of three falls; 3 rousing occurances of the mocking "Heeee-roooo!" chant during his match; irony abounding when Wiggly began telling Hero he'd be really funny looking being bald and having a beard; the list goes on so long I can't remember any more specific examples. This proves it to me, CHIKARA is The Rocky Horror Picture Show of pro wrestling.
In about two hours, I leave for Philadelphia. Live notes from Chapter 11 will follow later tonight. If any of you will be in Philly for this one, feel free to say "Hello" should you see me (look for the guy wearing glasses in a purple Los Ice Creams shirt).
That'll do it for now. El Mark de Los Ice Creams, out!

Alright, boys and girls, we're in the home stretch, and Chapter 11 starts in about 10 minutes, it's an afternoon show in the ECW Arena, the final Chikara show of 2007, and by god, they're gonna make it count.

Gonna be around for results today Spank, or am I pulling the hat trick? I should be around for the whole show, but if I get removed from the computer for the last few matches, cover for me, brother.

Here we go, credit to the Nude Smurf at http://www.chikarafans.com:
This is the end, folks. Arguably the most successful Chikara season to date comes to a close at the New Alhambra Arena in Philadelphia for Chapter 11. A nearly packed house on a cold Sunday afternoon is certainly a good sign for the swan song in '07. Jigsaw is out for tonight, Trik Davis has been added.
1)Team FIST vs Los Ice Creams and Tim Donst This is the weekend for amazingly fun openers. Los Ice Creams hit all of Chuck's spots on him, which the crowd loved. Donst accidentally bumped int one of the Ice Creams, so the Ice Creams left him to fight for himself. Icarus defeats Donst with the Chikara Special...there must be a traitor in the technico ranks.
2)Hydra vs Robbie Ellis One of the biggest showdowns of the century and it was a doozy. Robbia made quick work of the man-monster, putting him away in three minutes with a BURNING HAMMER. I love life. I love wrestling. This made me happier than Parkita.

Ellis is just too awesome for life. Shiranui last night, burning hamemr tonight. It doesn't get better than this.
Any word on Mantis- was he with Hydra? I REALLY hope the Order don't break up.
