Chikara presents Scornucopia
November 20, 2010 at the Palmer Center in Easton, PA. 7PM Belltime.
To prove that Chikara is in a better place now, current Director of Fun Dieter VonSteigerwalt offered to allow former Director of Fun and current commentator Leonard F. Chikarason to book the final show in Easton for 2010. The only rule is that Chikarason cannot book any title matches. Also, with Evolve running in New Jersey, Chikarason may be handicapped in his booking by certain talents (Helios, Chuck Taylor, Johnny Gargano, etc.) having other commitments.
Onto the card:
Golden Dream Elimination 8-Man Tag Match
Hallowicked, Arik Cannon, Jigsaw, and Fire Ant vs. Vin Gerard, Stigma, Tim Donst, and Max Boyer
One match. Eight former Young Lions Cup holders. The Golden Dream tradition returns with a match not unlike a traditional Survivor Series match. It features Arik Cannon’s first Chikara appearance since King of Trios, the unretirement of Max Boyer, and Fire Ant’s return from the broken face. Another interesting twist is, for the first time, a BDK member (Tim Donst) forced to team with members of Chikara. Tensions will surely arise on the rudo team, since Tim Donst has already promised in a recent blog that this match will prove his YLC dominance since he plans to take out his teammates after he takes out his opponents.
3.0 (Scott “Jagged” Parker and Shane Matthews) vs. Los Ice Creams
3.0 had long been considered a joke, going back to when they were 2.0 and incognito as the Badd Boys. But they’ve ditched the denim, hit a hot streak, received the 3 points, and challenged Ares and Castagnoli in Baltimore in September. They came up short, but along the way, they proved any detractors wrong. In Easton, they look to take the first step to challenging for the Campeonatos de Parejas again when they take on the devious Los Ice Creams, returning to Chikara for the first time since King of Trios.
The Osirian Portal vs. Obariyon and Kodama
The Portal unsuccessfully challenged Claudio Castagnoli and Ares for the Campeonatos de Parejas in Connecticut in October, losing two straight falls. Like 3.0, they must start back at the bottom to earn another title shot. Their first obstacle is the mysterious tag team of Obariyon and Kodama, who won their first point last time in Easton when they defeated the Super Smash Brothers. Obariyon debuted at Young Lions Cup in August, and Kodama joined Obariyon in tag team action in Baltimore in September. They’ve been impressive, they’ve been scary, and they’ll be a tall order for the Funky Pharaoh and Serpent from the Nile.
“Blast from the Past” Eight-Man Tag Team Match
UltraMantis Black, Jolly Roger, ???, ???, vs. Icarus, Lance Steel, ???, ???
