CHIKARA: 7th annual Young Lions Cup tournament! Fan Appreciation Night!
August brings our annual tradition – the Young Lions Cup – back for it’s seventh incarnation! This year, 24 wrestlers, all age 25 or younger, will compete for the prized Cup that has been held by some of independent wrestling’s brightest stars, from Jigsaw to Chuck Taylor, from Hallowicked to Larry Sweeney. The first two rounds of action will take place in Easton, with the finals being held at the ECW Arena in Philadelphia. Thus far, just two of the participants have been confirmed:
1) Create-A-Wrestler
-This year’s CAW contest saw us deluged with ideas, and we’ll all find out the winner this year at Young Lions Cup. Is this Koala Lumpur or Ask-A-Ninja’s lucky year? Maybe we’ll see Dasher Hatfield or Emohel emerge at this year’s YLC…
2) Soldier Ant
-The militant mat mite of the Colony cheered on partner Fire Ant last year as he defeated Vin Gerard in the finals. Can Soldier Ant, hot off his lucha de apuesta last month at Aniversario, ride that wave of momentum to a YLC win?
In the month of July, we’re paying a final 2009 visit to Reading, and it’ll be Fan Appreciation Night when we play the Riverside Beneficial Assoc.! There’s no more intimate venue in which to see the stars of CHIKARA than our Reading stop, and we’re loading up with CHIKARA faves and a few surprises to make the evening a can’t-miss affair! Every paying customer attending our July 31st event will get a free gift – some might get a bumper sticker, others might get a replica mask, some will even get official CHIKARA DVD’s! Later this week, we’ve got a brand new match to add to the card!
Officially signed for July 31 in Reading:
~Ladies Match!~

Our 4th ever Pod-Per-View is coming in the month of June! On Tuesday, June 30th, we’ll release a brand new program featuring exclusive content and loads of goodness for you to download and enjoy! Pod-Per-View 4: The Quest for Peace features all your CHIKARA favorites, and rumors of a cameo by Margot Kidder are unsubstantiated.
Tickets for our upcoming events are available here! The wait for “Aniversario Yin” (from Easton) and “Aniversario Yang” (from Philadelphia) is almost over – the official DVD’s are scheduled for release at Smart Mark Video on Thursday! Complete with new, original covers, plus backstage interviews, these are great collectors items for CHIKARA fans new and old! Support CHIKARA by getting your official DVD’s through our exclusive distributor, Smart Mark Video.com!
