Loving the match graphics this year. So much so, I made a template. ![](http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5678/kotrios2012copy.png) Do what you will with this.

Ryan Rush mainly wrestles for the NYWC, Jason Axe is from 2CW (and is usually Portia Perez's tag team partner there), Tripp Cassidy is part of the School of Roc and was in their match for Chikara in Indiana, and we know about Mr. Touchdown. I'll speak for Axe, since I've seen him a ton. He's good and can be great depending on the opponent. He'll bring a ground based style to the match, but he works well with highlfyers and the like. Honestly, of all the guys Chikara could have picked to represent 2CW Axe wasn't at the top of my list, but he was in the top 3. I hope you'll be presently impressed with him when you see him.

I will say, just looking at 2CW's website, I'm pretty impressed by their tagline("Where wrestling IS the entertainment") and their roster. When the hell did Colin Delaney get rugged?

I hope the YLC isn't going to be 1 CHIKARA guy/3 No-chancers per match.

I hope the YLC isn't going to be 1 CHIKARA guy/3 No-chancers per match. To be fair, if there's one upshot to Tadasuke winning last year, it's that I'm prepared to suspect ANYONE of breaking out to win.

Yeah, but Tadasuke was in CHIKARA before and was from Osaka Pro. I like at 6 of the 8 announced so far, and you gotta be kidding me if they aren't fodder.

I'm not that big of a Chikara fan but seeing some of you squirm so bad because the Bucks won the Campeonatos de Parejas is just hilarious. It sucks that you guys get stuck with the bland face ROH Young Bucks and not the awesome heel versions. I'm pretty sure its the heel version because of the whole taking the titles back to roh time spiel

I really hope this ROH thing doesn't become a full blown feud. Right now Chikara is having enough problems getting their own angles over without adding a cross promotional bit with a company that has one character.

Right now Chikara is having enough problems getting their own angles over without adding a cross promotional bit with a company that has one character. Pretty much. The ROH scene right now is about as exciting as watching paint dry, and that's even AFTER Steen won the belt. Call me when Jay Lethal shows up, though. Love that guy.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

![](http://i49.tinypic.com/b5305t.jpg) Indiana Jones/Ducktales, maybe? And the Deep Freeze kind of looks like a blue Half Life to me.

If it's all local, I'm hoping for Cameron Matthews for Portland, he was pretty good from what I remember (Bit spotty, though.)

Fire Ant is out 10-12 weeks with a broken ankle according to his Twitter account.

Jeez, best of luck on his recovery.
Oh, if any FANnies are planning to come up for the SoPo show, I've got a place for a couple of them real close to the venue. Otherwise, I can text results or something.
