CHIKARA: 9/10 show named At The Gates, first matches announced.

New Mutants was quite the event, and started off with Commissioner Saget making the announcement that CHIKARA's next show will be on 9/10, and it has been titled At The Gates. The first match-up has been announced, as Match #2 in the 4 matches between Team KOW and Team Technico will go down, this one being a rematch of the classic that took place at Negative Balance. 9/10 will see Claudio Castagnoli Vs. Mike Quackenbush!

In other news, the Iron Saints have obtained their three wins and have challenged Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli for Los Campeones De Parejas. This match will not take place at At The Gates, but at the next CHIKARA event. The Iron Saints will be in action on 9/10 though, as they will take on the returning MIYAWAKI and Yoshiaki Yago in a Special Tag Team Match-Up!

Furthermore, the tensions between Lance Steel and Lance Steel have come to an all time high. After losing two consecutive matches, there seems to be some anger issues between the two Lances. But, Lancelot will have to put their issues aside as they will take on the red-hot team of Hallowicked and Delirious, collectively known as Incoherence on September 10th!

In another one of many heated rivalries in CHIKARA, the battles between Icarus and Retail Dragon have escalated a large amount since Retail Dragon first pinned Icarus in a 10-Man Tag back at We're Not In Kansas Anymore. Another chapter will be added to the rivalry between these two men on September 10th, as Icarus goes one-on-one with Retail Dragon! Also, the second match between Young Lion's Cup Champion Arik Cannon and Max Boyer will happen. Arik Cannon is currently ahead 1-0. Max Boyer needs to win at least 2 matches in order to force the fifth and final match, which will then be for the Young Lion's Cup. Can Boyer get his first win against Arik Cannon? Find out at our next event At The Gates!

CHIKARA: More announced for At The Gates!

At The Gates will mark the official in-ring return of one Eddie Kingston, and he has requested a certain match to be booked on 9/10. Eddie Kingston has said that with the recent actions of one Chris Hero, he thinks he needs to be the one to beat some sense into Chris Hero. At The Gates will see Eddie Kingston Vs. Chris Hero! Kingston also said he has some unfinished business with Larry Sweeney, and that will be taken care that night as well.

Speaking of Larry Sweeney, he has recently petitioned to have one more shot at Mike Quackenbush's ICW-ICWA Tex-Arkana TV Title. Commissioner Bob Saget and Director Of Fun Leonard F. Chikarason have came up with a way that Sweeney can earn another title shot. On 9/10, Larry Sweeney will be presented with a mystery opponent hand picked by Commissioner Saget. If Larry Sweeney defeats this opponent, he will receive another shot at the ICW-ICWA Tex-Arkana TV Title on the next show. If Sweeney does not win, he will not be able to challenge for the ICW-ICWA Tex-Arkana TV Title until 2007! This match has huge stakes, and come on down to The Riverside in Reading, PA to see it all go down!

In another chapter added to the chaotic rivalry between what seems to be everyone that is on the CHIKARA roster, Jigsaw will team up with Shane Storm and Milano Collection AT to take on Rorschach, Crossbones, and Gran Akuma! Also, another 6-Man Tag will go down earlier in the night featuring more masked guys! There will probably be a lot of arm drags!

CHIKARA: Next show will be called "I See Something, In The Far Winds"!

WOW! What a night At The Gates turned out to be! With the return of Eddie Kingston, his battle with Chris Hero, the rematch between Quack and Claudio, and the growing rivalry between Icarus and Retail Dragon, At The Gates is a must-see DVD for all CHIKARA fans! We're serious too! Please! Buy it!

Quite a few matches have already been scheduled for this show as well. First of all, we were informed by Larry Sweeney that he does not remember him accepting Eddie Kingston's challenged, as he supposedly suffered a concussion at the hands of the Necro Butcher (likely story Mr. Sweeney). So, Larry Sweeney has chosen things would only be better if put his match with Eddie Kingston off and decided to challenge Mike Quackenbush for the ICW-ICWA Tex-Arkana TV Title! Sweeney said he will face Kingston at the first show in October, which will also be the last show before the Third Annual Torneo Cibernetico!

Also, the third match in the Young Lion's Cup Challenge Series will take place between Young Lion's Cup Champion Arik Cannon and Max Boyer. Boyer needs a win here in order to remain alive in the series, as he is currently down 0-2. In addition, the Iron Saints finally get their long due shots at Los Campeones De Parejas Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli! This match, like all Campeones defenses, will consist of three falls. First team to two wins and walks away with the titles! To add on one more match, a rematch of the YLC 3 finals will take place as Icarus will take on Shane Storm in Match #3 between Team KOW and Team Technico! We are just under a month away from the Cibernetico, and things are really heating up here in CHIKARA!

Furthermore, in one of the most shocking CHIKARA moments ever, Lance Steel attacked his partner Lance Steel at At Our Gates. Lance Steel II said he has something important to say, and he will make it clear at ISSITFW on 9/17!
