CHIKARA: "New Star Navigation" is just days away!

It's time for our curtain call at the Ryan Township Fire Hall in Barnesville, and we're goin' out with a bang! That night, we're going to round up some of our youngest stars - guys like Tim Donst, Ophidian and Lince Dorado, and we're tossing 'em to the wolves. Some of CHIKARA's upperclassmen, men like Mitch Ryder, Gran Akuma and Hallowicked, will handpick a rookie for either singles or tag team action, and it will be up to our up-and-comers to prove their mettle!

In addition to which, we've added a parejas increibles ("incredible partners") match to the card, and, because we've gotten so many email begging for a rematch, we've decided to pit Cheech and Cloudy against the Olsen Twins one more time, coming off their awe-inspiring performance at Cibernetico & Robin. The card looks like this:

~THE CHALLENGE of the UPPERCLASSMEN!~
7 bouts pitting our relative rookies against the more experienced CHIKARA stars!

~BY POPULAR DEMAND!~
The Olsen Twins vs. Cheech & Cloudy

~KINGS OF WRESTLING EXPLODE!~
Claudio Castagnoli vs. Larry Sweeney

~PLUS!~
A Parejas Increibles tag match!
