Young Lions Cup XV results. 1ST STAGE - YLC Opener: Boomer Hatfield defeated Lee Moriarty, Lady Frost and Jay Sorbet. After the match, Boomer was being interviewed, but when asked about his father, Dasher ran over and ended the interview. - The Regime was supposed to take on a trio of masked jobbers, but the Closers talked about how Juan Francisco's money has dried up and he hasn't been paying them. The match never happened as the Closers just beat the hell out of Juan Francisco. - YLC Opener: Jaden Newman defeated Thief Ant, Air Wolf and Frantik. - Missile Assault Man defeated Rory Gulak relatively quickly. - Lucas Calhoun defeated Volgar in a chain match. It was unsanctioned, so it didn't have commentary and took place in the middle of intermission, making it feel weird. They used last man standing rules with the crowd counting. - YLC Opener: Still Life with Apricots and Pears defeated Cam Carter, Davienne and DL Hurst. - YLC Opener: Ricky South defeated Allie Kat, Brayden Lee and Green Ant. Ricky was the most over outsider wrestler of the show and won with a crazy second-rope piledriver. - Mr. Touchdown defeated Chris Dickinson to earn his "second point." Dasher came out to talk up how Touchdown would have another match at the 2nd Stage. Bryce was pissed about that since the wrestlers don't make the matches, but Touchdown accepted the challenge, just wanting to get this over with. 2ND STAGE - YLC Semifinals: Boomer Hatfield defeated Jason Newman. - YLC Semifinals: Still Life defeated Ricky South, reversing his second-rope piledriver into a pin. - Air Wolf defeated Cam Carter. Afterwards, he cut a promo on A-Kid for their WrestleMania Weekend match. - The Colony (Fire, Worker, Thief) defeated Creatures of the Deep (Merlok, Hermit Crab, Cajun Crawdad). There was a crazy spot where Crawdad climbed to the top rope, grabbed onto the ceiling and then jumped down to the outside. - FIST (Huckabee and Deppen) defeated Crummels and Defarge to earn their third point. Lots of fun heel vs. heel gags. - Dasher Hatfield retained the Grand Championship against Solo Darling. - YLC Finals: Still Life defeated Boomer Hatfield with the Venus Fly Trap (Figure 8 + Sharpshooter). Afterwards, Blank appeared and acted frustrated as even winning YLC can't undo the disgust he feels for how Still Life lost to Penelope Ford. - King of Trios 2019 announced for the first weekend in October. The same weekend as New York Comic Con. drat IT! This year's theme is tying into the Chikara game coming out. - Mr. Touchdown defeated Icarus with a rolling pin out of nowhere to get his "third point." Dasher stormed into the ring and yelled at Icarus for failing. Dasher refused to relinquish his title and instead hit Touchdown with the belt. Bryce angrily said that he would be stepping down as Director of Fun, but his final act would be to setup a ladder match between Dasher and Touchdown for the title at the WrestleMania Weekend show.

So, KOT is running in their usual Reading venue, the The Goodwill Beneficial Association Hall. Weird choice for the biggest shows, cause that place can't hold more than like 300 people I think.

I'm watching Once Upon a Beginning, which I think is the first CHIKARA show I've sat down and really watched. It's been a fairly fun show, with just the last two matches left. Crowd seemed kind of flat. The biggest problem I had with the show is that the announcers never really explained much of anything, which is a big problem given the complicated backstory of CHIKARA. I don't know what happened to Soldier Ant, but when Icarus mocked him at the opening of the match the lead announcer only mentioned that he was being mocked without saying why. A better job by the announcers, or even some kind of promo videos for the big matches, would have been really useful.

I haven't gotten around to watching the show yet, but Soldier Ant's deal is that he got both of his antennae torn off over time and it rendered him blind, forcing him into retirement.

Hoping it's story and he makes a big comeback or something. I've always really liked Mr. Touchdown. I didn't see, did the end of that ladder match look like he was exiting at all?

Another thing I saw was, Juan/John was in a full black and white tuxedo at the end of the show when everyone was in the ring with Hurricane. Dude travels to shows in style I guess.

Any idea what happened? I'm watching Fright Knight right now (they finally put it up on Chikaratopia) and he's in the opening match. Chikara's at a really odd point right now where there don't appear to be many stories going on at all when that's one of the promotion's biggest strengths. So you get all these regulars who have been doing a big pile of nothing over the last couple years. In other fun "whatever happened to _____" news, Da Soul Touchaz will be taking on the Creatures of the Deep at the Chicago show at the end of the month. This Saturday is Infinite Gauntlet, which will be live on Chikaratopia. Here's the list of names announced for the match: Main Roster Guys: Ophidian El Hijo del Ice Cream Ice Cream Jr. Kobald Boomer Hatfield John Frances of Coronado Worker Ant II Hallowicked Rick Roland Officer Warren Barksdale Razerhawk Solo Darling Dasher Hatfield Whisper Volgar Hermit Crab Frantik Oleg the Usurper Guests/New Folks: Molly McCoy Unsocial Jordan DUKE "THE DUMPSTER" DROSSE Bull James Shazza McKenzie Masked Jobbers for Some Reason: Enziguri Evan Armbreaker Amir Eight more to be announced. Other matches include: - Lucas Calhoun and Stray Kat vs. Icarus and Travis Huckabee - Missile Assault Man vs. Der Wildebeest (apparently Jakob Hammermeier is now managing a Mantaur knockoff? There's nothing I don't love about that sentence) - Still Life with Apricot and Pears defending the YLC against Thief Ant - Fire Ant and Green Ant vs. Merlok and Cajun Crawdad

The Infinite Gauntlet match was very interesting. It was essentially two stories making up the match. First, early on, Dasher Hatfield and Boomer Hatfield were in the ring and it became a lengthy bout of them fighting each other and occasionally taking a break to eliminate the next competitor so they could go back to the fight. Eventually, the new entrants were heels and Dasher was able to intimidate them into sitting this one out. That is, until Blank ran out, got all the heels to attack as one and it still led to the Hatfields clearing the ring. Newcomer Molly McCoy tried to get them to shake hands and make up (ironic, given her name), but Dasher attacked Boomer and eliminated him. The match was filled with about 5-6 masked jobber types. On commentary, Director of Fun Sydney Bakabella explained that they were cheaper to pay for in terms of filling up the 33 spots. The masked jobbers started teaming up a bunch and took out various opponents with team-up attacks and pins. It became apparent that Enziguri Evan was the endboss of the group and Armbreaker Amir was capable enough to make Duke "The Dumpster" Drosse tap out. The guys also spent a lot of time loosening the top rope. The end of the match had Enziguri Evan hold Solo Darling and Whisper over his shoulders, only for Hallowicked to give him a yakuza kick. All four of them went over the barely-existent top rope and fell to the floor. #33 was Ophidian, who won by default and now gets a free title shot. Afterwards, Boomer and Dasher returned and got in a huge argument, culminating in Bakabella announcing a mask vs. mask match between the two in Chicago. Post-credits was another episode of the Heralds and Harbingers series, which is the weird backstory of all those jobber guys.

The rope loosening thing was really weird. Felt like it dragged on way too long and never really paid off. My thought was they'd take the rope off completely, lay it on the mat and just shove people over it because it was still technically the top rope. Seemed like they had a fun idea but it didn't pan out for me.

It sure seemed like Molly turned on Boomer and let Dasher beat him up. I was also really hoping the masked jobbers were gonna all make some big run and dominate like a CHIKARA version of the Nexus or nWo or something.

Based on how Ophidian won the Infinite Gauntlet, they're doing a story where Quack refuses to even allow him into the Wrestle Factory anymore. I'm guessing Quack is somehow also aware that the jobbers are some kind of Nexus/Fight Club/Foot Clan thing now. Here are the matches scheduled for this weekend's Aniversario shows: Saturday: John Francis of Coronado and Kimber Lee vs. Icarus and Dasher Hatfield (all have held the Grand Championship) Missile Assault Man vs. Hallowicked Green Ant vs. Still Life with Apricots and Pears (YLC) Boomer Hatfield and Molly McCoy vs. Hermit Crab and Merlok Jason Gory vs. Travis Huckabee The Rascalz vs. Crummels and Defarge Lady Frost vs. Blank Sunday: Boomer Hatfield vs. Dasher Hatfield (mask vs. mask) The Minnesota Wrecking Zoo vs. The Proteus Wheel John Francis vs. Whisper Solo Darling vs. Icarus Lucas Calhoun and Stray Kat vs. Arik Cannon and Darin Corbin Da Soul Touchaz vs. Creatures of the Deep
