Dear Gooooooood. That news just made my day even more CHIKARA-riffic...much in the way CRUSHING WEIGHT OF MAINSTREAM IGNORANCE arriving did! Is it as good to you as I belive it is?

Haven't finished, but it is a solid, solid show so far.

I expect FIST to feature somewhere at Battle of Who Could Care Less, since they aren't booked yet.
Only 7 matches announced for Chapter 11 so far, any bets on the remaining matches? I can see Jigsaw in there somhewere, possibly facing Tim Donst. You also have to figure FIST and Chuck Taylor will feature (esp. since Akuma's healthy for Sordid Perils), so I predict a Taylor/Helios rematch and FIST facing somebody. However I could also see it matching up slightly differently, and Donst ether in a rematch with Icarus, or going 1 on 1 with Akuma.
I very much hope we see Dragon Dragon, Mantis and Crossbones in there too, and The Order vs the Portal would be tremendous.
Ideally for Chapter 11, we'd get:
Chuck Taylor vs Helios rematch Order of the Neo Solar Temple vs Osirian Portal Jigsaw heeling up more (maybe even a Rorshach return, but that's just dreaming) Donst vs Gran Akuma (Stiffness galore) or Donst/Dragon Dragon vs FIST (Think of the awesome there)
However, there's that much room left on each card, it'll be great whatever happens (I've also noticed- No Los Ice Creams on either Sordid perils or Chap. 11).
These 3 shows have the potential to make a tremendous CHIKARA weekend, whatever is announced next.

New match announced for the Battle of Who Could Care Less... It's Los Gatos Mexicanos(My name for the team of Panter and Lince Dorado) teaming up to take on those rascally twins(Fraternal, not identical) Jimmy "Jam" Olsen and Colin Olsen, The Olsen Twins. The luchadors will obviously have the heart of the crowd, but the twins have been impressing in recent months with some amazing matches against the North Star Express and Up In Smoke. Can they pull out the upset victory against the cats from south of the border?

They really are in the running for "Most Improved" in the Chikara running this year, along with "Big Rig" Brodie Lee, Lince Dorado, Tim Donst, Soldier Ant, and Shayne Hawke.

I don't get this match- in kayfabe terms, why would Pantera and Lince bother wrestling 2 matches? They already had 1 set for Sordid Perils, which would grant them a title shot if they won. Why risk their 2 points in a match with the Olsens, where if they win they get a shot then risk all 3 points the next night, and if they lose they drop all their points.
It'll be a good match alright, but it makes no sense.

It's official, I will be at all three events. *lets others admire/envy him for a couple seconds* And since I'm not going out of town for an extended period of time afterwards, I will have live notes from all three shows posted on this board in a timely fashion.

I at once envy, hate, and love you. I'm not sure there's a word for that, but that's what I feel for you right now.

Just as long as you keep both your hands where I can see them, I have no problem with those feelings.

Another match added to the Sordid Perils show... Europe takes on Asia in America as Claudio Castagnoli takes on MIYAWAKI. These two have met before in tag team action, but to my knowledge, this is their first singles confrontation, and it has great potential. Claudio is of course, one of the top indy stars today, and is a brilliant brawler, mat technician, ect..., but MIYAWAKI is absolutely BRUTAL, including throwing one of the most devastating headbutts in the business(Just ask Sal Thomaselli...wait, what? He's still recovering from February's headbutt? Sorry), so Claudio might be in trouble here.

OK, this will be AWESOME. Claudio/MIYAWAKI? I'm praying for a tradeoff of headbutts and uppercuts. Last man to be KTFO'ed wins.
And Mark de Los Ice Creams, I wish I was in your place. I wish Eddie Kingston could chuck you out again so I could fly to the USA and nick your seat. (You were the guy in the Ice Creams shirt who Kingston tried to throw out at Max Overdraft, weren't you?)

Nope, I was way back in the bleachers at Max Overdraft.
International Invaders weekend though, you can see me pretty clearly.

Two new matches added to Chapter 11, both Trios matches: First off, it's a couple of slightly odd teams as QuackSaw(Mike Quackenbush and Jigsaw) teams with newcomer Helios to take on "Canada's Red Romeo" Shayne Hawke and The Osirian Portal of Amasis and Ophidian. Two veterans teaming with a rookie to take on 3 rookies on a team. Will experience triumph? Or will the rookies get lucky and take the win? Secondly This is an amazing looking match as those Mexicali frozen treats, Los Ice Creams team with Tim Donst to take on Team F.I.S.T, the Chuck Taylor Edition. Donst has never teamed with the Ice Creams before that I'm aware of, whereas Chucky T and F.I.S.T have experience as a trio, so which team will get the duke?

And that's what, 4 Trios matches for Chapter 11? Neat but a bit of overkill.

I'm praying for Donst to get kicked to buggery by Akuma. He plays the beat up underdog so well.

A little bit of a preview of what's to come, if you will.

Oh, and you can thank Disastronaut at the www.chikarafans.com boards for this amazing team name for the Hawke/Portal team: Team Hawke Like An Egyptian.

Nice and double nice.
If 2.0 puts in an appearance sometime during the weekend, I'll be a happy man!

Okay, two new matches added to the Battle of Who Could Care Less show: Can you say styles clash? I can, and this may be the definition of the term. Chikara's resident big man, "Big Rig" Brodie Lee takes on Japanese import and Ultimo Dragon trainee Passion Hasegawa. I've not seen Hasegawa's style, but I can't imagine from looking at him that this will be a battle of similar styles. Will the athletic puro man take the fight, or will he get his face kicked clean off by Lee? Secondly, it's a Revelos Atomicos match that has Mike Quackenbush teaming with The Colony of Soldier, Worker, and Fire Ants to take on the unusual team of F.I.S.T and The Osirian Portal. We know that the Ants and Quack will get along, but how will the anti-social Icarus and Akuma, who don't generally play well with others, gel with the wacky Ophidian and that Phunky Pharoah, Amasis? Will the rudos overcome the tecnicos, or will they go down in flames?
