CHIKARA: DVD Art Contest Winners Revealed! Just a few months ago we put the word out to our loyal fans to create their own DVD covers for CHIKARA events, and we vowed to pick our favorite and slap it on the front of a forthcoming release. The only problem was, we got so many rockin' cool entries, it was impossible to pick just one! So, instead, we grabbed our three favorites for the covers of our three season finale shows, released today over at Smart Mark Video!
So where did these incredible masterworks come from? Well, for starters, it was Michael Irizarry, Jr. who came up with the "Grand Theft Auto"-esque cover to "Battle of Who Could Care Less," a true piece of pop culture art that we loved instantly! For the cover to our November 17 Hellertown DVD, an EC Comic style piece by Jesus Marquez (pencils and inks) and Daniel Ramirez (colors) seemed like a perfect fit! Lastly, true Brit Mark Sinclair must have taken his inspiration from an old Nintendo comic book to concoct his awesome cover to our November 18 DVD, "Chapter 11." In the next week, we're going to hunt these talented kids down and get them some free stuff - including copies of the DVD's they helped make look so sweet!
Then we'll see you in under two weeks to close out 2007 with a free show at Penn State University! "Stephen Colbert > Bill O'Reilly" Sunday afternoon, December 9th, 2007 Live @ Alumni Hall (Penn State University)! 129 HUB-Robeson Center on the Main Campus in State College, PA! Admission is Free! Doors open at 5:40 pm. Bell time is 6:00 pm!

Welcome to the final preview to PTW "BulletProof", on Saturday 1st December. First we give you some PTW news, then the vital details of the show, and how to get tickets; and then a write up on the matches to get you in the mood for PTW's last show of the year! And what a year it's been.... NEW SECURITY FOR THE BOSS! PTW Owner Peter Staniforth had a recent request from Aphrodite, that she wished to compete more in a PTW ring in the future; and to be released from her duties as his 'bodyguard-ette'. This request has been granted, and Peter didn't take long to recruit a new employee to look after his wellbeing. Recent times have seen the owner get more and more angry with people's attitudes, and Peter was quoted as saying that by employing this new person as his security - "It makes a real statement of intent". This new person, is no less than "GoldenGloves" Paul McSherry, who has a legitimate boxing background as well as his professional wrestling career. With Peter's ever present confidence (read : ego with it's own postcode!), mixed with the power of being in charge of PTW and his determination to give the fans the best show possible; and combined with Paul's toughness; the bad guys in PTW are going to have a lot to reckon with if they 'cross the boss'. SHOW DETAILS What : Power Trip Wrestling - "BulletProof". When : Saturday 1st December 2007. Where : Luton Rugby Club, Newlands Road, Luton, Bedfordshire, LU1 4BQ. Doors : Doors Open : 7.00pm Show Starts : 7.30pm Ticket Prices and Reserving : Adults £8, Children/OAP/Student £5, and Family of four £20.
You can order/reserve tickets for PTW's upcoming shows on Saturday November 17th in Stevenage, and Saturday 1st December in Luton, right now by calling the PTW Box Office now on 07856 164285! Matches As Follow:
* FOR THE VACANT PTW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE * Shabazz w/PTW Owner Peter Staniforth VS Sykes w/"100 Percent" Dan Edge Shabazz has been arguably PTW's biggest star since the start of the company. Adored by the fans, on a solid winning streak, and a champion in other promotions; he is currently riding a wave and is at the strongest point of his career so far. This could be spoilt, by one man. A dangerous man. A man with a bitter streak. A man who's reputation elsewhere preceeds itself. This man is quite simply known - as Sykes. Added to this, is the constant and continuing issues between PTW Owner Peter Staniforth, and Dan Edge. Both will be ringside, as Edge looks to get one over Peter in their on-going competition of sorts to see who can 'one up' the other. A lot of this has been chronicled on YouTube.com, and this adds just another twist to a fascinating title match that has the attention of the country. TAG TEAM GRUDGE MATCH Rich N' Famous & Kyle Kraze VS Brian Braddock & Kid Regis In various ways, and forms, the feud between Rich N' Famous and Brian Braddock has been a major part of the year. Many people have been brought into this battlefield, but the lines have been drawn for December 1st. Famous has his 'Player's Club' tag team partner, in Kyle Kraze; and in an attempt to get into the head of the egotistical team, Brian Braddock brought back a man from Rich N' Famous's past - Kid Regis, making his comeback to wrestling. This is far beyond personal now. But one thing it is, is unmissable! PTW CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH - "NO HOLDS BARRED" G 'The Ghetto Superstar' VS Dan Ryder (c) Ever since Dan Ryder turned upon long time friend G 'The Ghetto Superstar', in a bitter rage, this feud has been white hot. The cause of this? G becoming the first ever PTW Cruiserweight champion. This has seen both men bring their friends into the situation, with Ryder bringing in Danny Devine; and G recruiting Geraden to watch his back. Now this is taken to a whole new level - no rules, no limits - quite simply... No Holds Barred. WINNER ALLOWED TO BE RINGSIDE FOR THE PTW CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Geraden VS Danny Devine As an added twist to the PTW Cruiserweight title match, there will be a match to decide who will be ringside for the contest. Popular fan favourite Geraden, the loveable underdog, will be facing off against 'The Metrosexual' Danny Devine. Both men want to be in the corner of their comrade later on in the night, so you know this one will be fast paced and exciting. SINGLES MATCH Lucian VS American All-Star w/Miss Vicky Despite, and we quote, "not giving a damn what those idiot fans think", American All-Star has been given credit by PTW observers for his recent performances; particularly his eventual losing effort against Shabazz in the Number One Contenders Match in Stevenage on Nov 17th. Sadly, he really doesn't care what has been said, and is looking to get back on the winning track once more. Lucian, on the other hand, has been on a little bit of a downward spiral in PTW for reasons that remain unexplainable. Lucian has embraced the support of the PTW fans in recent times, and he feels that this could be a key factor in his rise to the top of Power Trip Wrestling. Who will take the victory in this one? TAG TEAM ACTION Beer Fuelled Violence VS Team Woo w/PTW Owner Peter Staniforth Beer Fuelled Violence, have taken Power Trip Wrestling by storm, drinking beer, having fun; and hitting hard! Team Woo, well, they're probably the only tag team in the entire world that have been named after the nickname of the Owner's daughter; and are openly big fans of the aforementioned 5 year old! Two teams that are loved by the fans, two teams who like to bring fun to the ring; but two teams who want a win to wrap up 2007 and lead into 2008. TRIPLE THREAT MATCH Seb Drea VS Paul McSherry VS Danny Stevens Three of PTW's upcoming stars clash, in this triple threat match. The insane high flyer Seb Drea, "GoldenGloves" Paul McSherry, and Danny Stevens. Drea is coming off of a win on Nov 17th in Stevenage, McSherry is doing the same after beating Mikey the Pikey on the same evening; and Danny Stevens is frustrated and becoming more and more bitter over what he feels is a lack of respect from everyone at PTW. Who will take the victory in this battle to take the next step up the rankings ladder? INTER-GENDER HANDICAP MATCH Frantastic VS Mikey The Pikey & Aphrodite The 'Scouse PowerHouse' Frantastic, the cocky and arrogant Northerner; has been shouting around and demanding his own way recently in PTW. He's also taking to insulting Luton Town FC publically. This, both obviously, and predictably, hasn't gone down too well with the PTW Owner; and Peter Staniforth has decided to test Frantastic's patience in this intergender handicap match; against the very popular Mikey the Pikey, and Peter's now former bodyguard-ette Aphrodite.

Scheduled Matches:
VPW Championship Match “Best Body in the Biz” Jason Static vs. Mack Daddy Flexx
At the last VPW event, after successfully winning 3 matches in a single night to become the first ever VPW Champion, Jason Static made history. Now it’s time for Static to put his money where his mouth is and take on Mack Daddy Flexx in his first VPW Championship defense. Static may be riding a wave of glory right now, but if there’s one man who can make that wave come crashing down, it’s Mack Daddy Flexx. It wasn’t too long ago that Flexx and Static were friends, but after Jason Static took his frustrations and anger out on his former friend that a bitter rivalry developed. For months, Static sent his buddies “Masculine Marvel” Sabotage and “Ultra Sexy” Joe So Delicious after Flexx to do his dirty work. Each time, Flexx was successful in defeating them. Then back in October in the second round of the VPW Championship Tournament, Static and Flexx finally met one on one in the ring. Many say that that match belonged to Mack Daddy Flexx, but thanks to multiple distractions from both Sabotage and Joe Delicious, Static was able to defeat Flexx. Flexx feels that he was robbed at his chance at the title and is now looking to set things right. Can Mack Daddy Flexx achieve the victory that was denied to him last time?? Will Static once again play the numbers game? Find out who will walk out as VPW Champion!!!!
Cruiserweight Challenge “The Good Guy” Azrieal vs. Javi-Air
It’s hard to argue that Azrieal and Javi-Air are two of the best cruiserweights in the Northeast. It’s also hard to argue the quality of their matches anytime these two have stepped into the ring together. Now for the third time in VPW Azrieal and Javi-Air will match up in one on one action. Back in August, the night opened off with a bang as Azrieal and Javi-Air stole the show in the eyes of many fans. Azrieal may have come out on top that night, but Javi-Air came so close to winning several times. Then in October, in the first round of the VPW Championship tournament, Javi-Air defeated Azrieal to advanced to the second round of the tournament. Despite his attitude, Azrieal thrives on competition. He recognized that Javi-Air was the better man that night, but also realizes that it was Javi-air that cost him a shot at making it all the way to the finals. Now these two rivals will meet one more time to determine once and for all who is the best. Both men have a lot riding on the line in this one, so don’t dare miss out on what’s sure to be a spectacular battle!!
Grudge Match “Masculine Marvel” Sabotage vs. Grim Reefer w/ Don Tony
Since September 2006, Grim Reefer and Jason Static have been at war. After losing to Jason Static in the finals of the VPW Championship Tournament, Grim Reefer has been on a warpath. Reefer believes that he was royally screwed and is dead-set on making someone pay. Unfortunately, since Sabotage is a member of Best Bodies, Inc., he is guilty by association. In order to counter Reefer’s fury, Sabotage may have to rely on his natural power, clearly evidenced by his world-class physique. On second thought, Sabotage may have to rely on his strongest attributes, his sneakiness and deceptive nature. Reefer may also have to be wary about Jason Static and Joe Delicious getting involved since those three are nearly inseparable. That’s exactly the reason why Grim Reefer has the big man, Don Tony, standing in his corner. Don Tony is Grim Reefer’s personal insurance policy and is never afraid to mix it up with anyone. Will Grim Reefer get one step closer to getting a shot at the VPW Championship? Or will Sabotage defeat his enraged opponent? Find out on Saturday night December 1st!!
Special Challenge Match 4x4 vs. “All Around Best” Xavier
When we last saw Xavier in VPW, he defeated TNA star, Matt Morgan. Now he’s gearing up for his next big challenge, former WCW star 4x4. He’s been known as both 4x4 and as Cassius, but no matter what you call him, he’s a monster. Unfortunately for Xavier, this monster is looking to rip somebody in half. Xavier told VPW officials that while it may appear that he’s the underdog, he will hit the 450 on his opponent. Will the impressive skills of Xavier take him to victory? Or will the man simply known as 4x4 have a most memorable VPW debut??
Last Chance Match Nick Noshus vs. “Firebird” Jorge Santi
Back in August, Jorge Santi burst onto the VPW scene in a literally unexpected moment. Following a victorious elimination match, Noshus bragged that he felt good enough to have another match. Seizing opportunity when it knocked, Santi took Noshus up on his offer. Unfortunately for Santi, Noshus cheated his way to victory. Then in October, Noshus once again used underhanded tactics to defeat Santi. Following that match, Santi made it clear to Noshus that he wanted one more shot. VPW officials granted Santi’s request and on December 1, 2007, we will see the third match between these individuals. Noshus had no problem with that, but made his own request to VPW officials, that if Santi didn’t win the match, he wouldn’t get another shot at Noshus in a singles match. What that means is that this is Santi’s final opportunity to right the wrongs that have been brought upon him by Nick Noshus. Santi needs to be on his toes at all times because it’s become clear to everyone that Noshus will do anything to keep his undefeated streak alive. Will Jorge Santi overcome his opponent and get his first win in VPW?? Or will Nick Noshus prove why he’s the money man and make it three in a row??
8-Man Elimination Tag Team Match
Joey Everlast/Johnny Suburban/Mr. Professional/Scotty Rio w/ Jack O’Hearts and Vinny the Guido vs. Major Intencity/Richie Tyler/Chopsaw/Nightmare
This one has been building across the board in VPW, but now it’s all coming together in one explosive match. There are issues everywhere and there are plenty of people looking to resolve plenty of things. On one side is a union of Jack O’Hearts’ Crew and Vinny the Guido’s VTG Enterprises. Normally, one would expect team members to get along, but in this case, Jack O’Hearts and Vinny the Guido can’t stand each other. Both have been laying claim that they are the top manager in VPW, and that claim may very well be the cause of their team’s downfall before the bell even rings. Both managers are telling people that they are the captain of their team. In fact, it wasn’t too long ago where Johnny Suburban and Mr. Professional had a singles match, which led to both of their managers fighting on the outside during the match. Representing The Crew are “Prince of Suburbia” Johnny Suburban and Joey Everlast. Representing VTG Enterprises are Mr. Professional and Scotty Rio. Their opponents are four men who would be perfectly happy watching their opponents self-destruct, but would have much more fun causing their demise themselves. Back in August, Richie Tyler was the man responsible for Jack O’Hearts getting his head shaved. Tyler defeated Suburban in a singles match and personally scalped O’Hearts. At the time, Joey Everlast was still in jail, but now Suburban and Everlast are back together and looking for revenge on Tyler. Tyler’s not coming alone because one of his teammates happens to be looking for revenge on The Crew, Nightmare. Nightmare was involved in a 6-man tag against members of The Crew back in October where he became just another victim. Now Nightmare is coming back and coming back strong. Their tag partners may very well be Vinny the Guido’s worst fears, Major Intencity and Chopsaw. Intencity and Chopsaw have been battling members of VTG Enterprises for the last few months. Their success was halted back in August when Major Intencity was knocked with a chain-wrapped fist, courtesy of Vinny the Guido. Now Intencity and Chopsaw are looking to finish it all off. Elimination rules are in play, so the combinations are endless on how this battle could play out. One team could very well have a four on one advantage. Anything can truly happen!! Eight men are walking into this match and nobody is leaving the same!!! Find out who will remain standing on Saturday night December 1st!!!!
Tag Team Grudge Match Eclipse w/ Jack O’Hearts vs. Livewired
Everyone knows that Eclipse have been a dominant force in VPW since day one. There’s no denying that. Another thing that can’t be denied is JMS’ heart. He tried several different tag team partners in an attempt to defeat Eclipse, but had no success. A few months ago, JMS brought in newcomer VSK, with the hope of finally getting the big win. JMS and VSK didn’t get the job done, but found that unique chemistry that tag partners rarely find. Both men immediately decided to continue teaming up and give it another go at Eclipse. Their second attempt didn’t go quite as planned, but Livewired is hoping for the third time to be the charm. Eclipse has told VPW officials they are demanding tougher opponents since they keep plowing through everybody. Will that overconfident attitude be the dominant team’s downfall? Will the underdogs get the win? Will Jack O’Hearts be running wild to ensure his team’s continued success?? Find out at the next VPW event!!!
Other VPW News
“Ultra Sexy” Joe So Delicious will be at VPW on December 1, 2007, but as of now, the big man does not have an opponent. This member is the enforcer of Best Bodies, Inc. and it’s clear to anybody that there is likely a very long list of people looking to get some revenge on Joe Delicious. When asked for comment about going into this event blind, Delicious had the following to say, “Do I really look like I care? Do I really look like I care who I fight? C’mon, look at me. Does a guy that looks this good really have anything to worry about?” As always, Joe Delicious was as arrogant as he is muscular. It’s a safe bet that VPW will have a quality opponent for Delicious.
As of now, the Zombie is not scheduled to appear at the December 1st VPW event, but with the Zombie, one never really knows where he’ll show up next. VPW Champion Jason Static must be relieved since the living dead man has been stalking Static for months.
VPW has a ton of action and entertainment in store for 2008. In fact, 2008 looks to be shaping up to be the biggest VPW year yet. More shows to be announced soon regarding 2008.
