CHIKARA: Young Lions Cup on the line at July 13th's "Tragedy & Triumph!"
The month of July is unique on the CHIKARA calendar! We're offering up just one giant, star-studded card, on Sunday afternoon, July 13th, at our homebase of the New Alhambra in Philadelphia. This one will be a card on par with our very finest stand-alone events, and every loyal member of the CHIKARMY will want to be on hand when "Tragedy and Triumph" plays in South Philly!
On that night, the "Fabulous Two" of Mitch Ryder and Shayne Hawke have a date with destiny, as they cash in their three points for a title shot against our reigning campeones/champions "Incoherence" (Hallowicked & Delirious)! The "Fabulous Two" picked up their final point in Wallingford, CT over El Pantera & Lince Dorado, and while they may not have gotten the better of the champs back at King of Trios, this 2-out-of-3 falls match at "Tragedy and Triumph" will have a decidedly different dynamic.
Plus, Eddie Kingston will have a chance to avenge his loss in the main event of our biggest show ever - King of Trios, Night 3 - where he was tapped out by Lince Dorado. CHIKARA's most brutal wrestler will take on the high-flying Latino prodigy in their very first one-on-one match!
In addition to which, the Young Lions Cup, won by Fire Ant in an emotional tournament final back on June 15th, will find himself rematched with Vin Gerard. Since losing the tournament final, Gerard has been lobbying for another stab at Fire Ant, and to silence him, Director of Fun Leonard F. Chikarason has signed this bout. If the match is even half as intense as their last meeting in Hellertown, we'll be in for a charged evening at the New Alhambra!
There will be a total of 9 bouts that make up the card, here are the first seven we have to confirm:
~Main Event: For the Campeonatos de Parejas!~
Incoherence (campeones) vs. The Fabulous Two (retadores)
~Young Lions Cup on the Line!~
