CHIKARA brings the 6th annual Young Lions Cup to Hellertown, PA!
Every year, we gather up 24 of the circuit's most promising up-and-comers, and toss 'em into a tournament we call Young Lions Cup. The 6th annual YLC is coming to Hellertown across three days - June 13th, 14th and 15th - and we are equal parts overjoyed and saddened by the occasion. As luck would have it, the American Legion Hall in Hellertown, host to dozens of CHIKARA events these past few years, is closing, permanently, on Sunday, June 15th. We will be the last to play this very special venue, and we hope all loyal members of the CHIKARMY will get the chance to visit it during Young Lions weekend this year.
To qualify for Young Lions Cup tournament action, a wrestler must be 25 years of age, or younger. Additionally, any wrestler that has held the Young Lions Cup in the past is not eligible, regardless of age. Today, we add one more crazy Canuck - Stupified - to the emerging tournament line-up. Thus far, all of these relative rookies have already been named for the 6th annual YLC:
Pinkie Sanchez [18], breakout star of Combat Zone Wrestling
Ethan Page [18], a relative unknown from the misty bogs of Canada (Ontario All Pro)
Chip Day [19], star of NWA Anarchy and the Georgia indies
Tim Donst [20], most recent acquisition of the Neo Solar Temple
James Ross [20], a represetative of the National Wrestling Alliance
Amasis [20], of CHIKARA and Osirian Portal fame
Ophidian [20], serpentine CHIKARAite, with just under a year pro experience
Alex Payne [20], up-and-comer from Ring of Honor
Create-A-Wrestler [20], a CHIKARA wrestler who will debut a new persona at YLCVI
Sami Callihan [20], of American Luchacore in his CHIKARA debut
Jimmy Olsen [21], the former Olsen Twin flies solo for his first YLC
Pelle Primeau [21], beloved underdog from Ring of Honor
Lince Dorado [21], one of the winners of CHIKARA's King of Trios 2008
Worker Ant [22], in his very first YLC tournament appearance
Vin Gerard [22], in his first YLC tournament since losing his mask
Marshe Rockett [23], one-third of Da Soul Touchaz from Elite Pro Wrestling
Jason Blade [24], New England area sensation and star of Full Impact Pro in Florida
Bobby Dempsey [24], best known for his misadventures in Ring of Honor
Steven "The Turtle" Weiner [24], New England's most lovable underdog

With just a few days left before the biggest weekend in NECW history (5th Annual IRON 8 Championship on Saturday, Hot Dog Safari on Sunday), we have an all new episode of NECW TV now on line.
We kick things off with words from one of the 8 participants in this year's IRON 8 - Gran Akuma from the Chikara promotion.
From there, it's tag team action with the MMA inspired Team Nightmare ("The Human Nightmare" Evan Siks & "Nightmare" Nick Steel) facing the team of "The Talent" T. J. Richter & Vain Valentino.
Our TV main event this week is an IRON 8 Showcase match, two of this year's IRON 8 participants in a head-to-head battle as "The Natural" Scott Osbourne with manager Brian Cairo in his corner takes on former NECW Television Champion, "The Real Deal" Brandon Locke in an exciting back and forth battle.
All this plus words from Team Nightmare and Brian Cairo, a final IRON 8 Update and more!
