Looks like Spank gave us the slip again. I'll catch us up:
3. Shane Storm and Super Smash Bros. vs The Colony
Super Smash Bros. need to back here every month by my demand. Stupefied is my hero. So, so awesome. Fire Ant gets the pin on Stupefied and Equinox looks on angered and homeless while the masked technicos celebrate a good match.
4. Bryan Alvarez vs Larry Sweeney
Bryan is not liked here. ICW/ICWA referee Buddy Lee Brooks is in the house tonight. Sweeney opened up the match with a promo, including singing the ICW/ICWA theme song, "Achy Breaky Heart". A bit of a staredown between Bryan and Wiggly, for all two of you that care. Sweeney had Alvarez beat when the ref refused to count three after some dissention earlier in the match. A superkick was all it took to put Sweeney away, and Bryan Alvarez is your new ICW/ICWA Texarkana Television Champion.
5. Delirious, Cheech and Cloudy vs MIYAWAKI, Passion Hasegawa and El Pantera
Delirious pinned Passion after a Chemical Imbalance. Fun little trios match, and I was right as Passion had his best outing here. Tons of awesome, wacky high flying as expected.

6. Hawke Like an Egyptian vs Mike Quackenbush, Trik Davis and Helios
Yes, they were announced as Hawke Like an Egyptian. Get your markout on. Davis looks really good, it wouldn't offend me if he was brought in more often. Helios pins Amasis with a twisting moonsault. I know it's repetitive, but yet another wacky, highspot-filled trios match with a crazy ending. Fun.

Falls Count Anywhere: Hallowicked vs Eddie Kingston
Kingston wins after a spinning backfist in a pretty crazy match for Chikara standards. Brutal, stiff work by both men. They spilled out into the crowd a bit. Great stuff.

Mascara Contra Caballera: Mitch Ryder vs Lince Dorado
Lince is a god amongst the young Hispanic children in the audience. Pantera is Lince's second, while Shayne Hawke and Sweeney are with Mitch. Ryder is so ridiculously awesome that it's not even funny. Ryder's seconds are slipping an international object around amongst one another. After Bryce was knocked out, Mitch fouled Lince with a kick to the groin, and the technicos and rudos surrounded the ring to support their men. Lince wins, but is seriously hurt...more later.

Lince's been stretchered out. He wasn't moving his limbs. I assume it was his family that ran to the back, in tears, so there's no chance this is a work. Mitch is now being shaved, but I don't think that's at all important right now. The screams of his family can be heard from backstage, and I'm scared as hell right now.The rest of the show has been cancelled. We've been asked to stay around until the ambulance leaves to avoid trafficI hope Lince is Okay

He landed on his neck on a 450 My thoughts and prayers go out to Lince and his Family.

Thank God.

During today's CHIKARA Pro "Chapter 11" show at the New Alhambra Arena, there was a serious since when Lince Dorado, a young luchador who has become a star in the promotion this year with a great feud with Mitch Ryder, over rotated in a shooting star senton and whiplashed the back of his head on the mat during the finish. It was a scary and very bad scene. The crowd was completely silent as Lince was stretchered out on a table as Mitch Ryder was shaved as part of losing a mask vs. hair match. Mike Quackenbush ended the show immediately afterward with one match (Chris Hero vs. Claudio Castagnoli) remaining. The crowd was chanting to END THE SHOW after the announcement was made that Lince was going to the hospital. Word is Lince's family was there and you could hear screaming and crying coming from backstage area. Quackenbush also asked everyone to stay until the ambulance came and went as so not to impede it. Thankfully, Lince was responsive and talking when the ambulance picked him up.

Really, really hope Lince gets well soon. You hate to see a guy that young get hurt in the biggest match of his career to date.

In light of the circumstances, I'm going to keep the live notes brief and as upbeat as possible.
- Hydra entered to "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse complete with wacky dancing on the way to the ring. Crowd loved every second of it.
Um... that's honestly the extent of what I can think of mentioning that hasn't been covered in the results already. Dang CHIKARAfans.com recappers; gonna take my job away.
Also, I'm still a little shaken up by what happened with Lince Dorado. If my head is any clearer tomorrow and any other interesting tidbits come to me, I'll share them. Otherwise, the metaphorical live notes pen and paper will go into the drawer until February.
Peace

What a tragic shame- the biggest match of Licne's career on the biggest CHIKARA show of the year, the season finale, and it ends like this. Lince's been diagnosed with a concussion, but at least he's up and about. It just sucks so much- this would have been a fantastic show, but instead it ends like this. Best CHIKARA season yet ending so sadly, and with the show being stopped before the big match.
Such a pity. I fear this will have done CHIKARA a lot more damage than it appears at first. I actually doubt the Chapter 11 show will even be released on DVD now after this...
