CHIKARA Press Release

CHIKARA: November 13th "Running in the Red" card expands!

We're rolling back into the ECW Arena to tempt fate (and our creditors) once again. For the first time in company history, two masked men put their idenitities on the line, in a bout that will serve as the main event of CHIKARA's "Running in the Red"...

~MASK vs. MASK~
Shane Storm vs. Gran Akuma
[1 Fall to a Finish]
...the Torneo Cibernetico is in the books. After 104 minutes and change, Chris Hero's assassin, Gran Akuma, emerged victorious. In the match's final moments, he bloodied the face of Shane Storm, and destroyed his mask. Storm challenged Akuma to put up his mask, a challenge which Akuma dismissed....but Chris Hero then accepted on Akuma's behalf.

~FIRST TIME EVER~
Reckless Youth vs. Chris Hero
[1 Fall, 60 Minute Time Limit]
...thousands of independent wrestlers populate the globe, but rarely are two of such incredible renown in the ring at the same time. Each an independent torchbearer, each at the very height of their mat mastery. Watch the fireworks as these two collide in their first singles bout...

~LOSER BOXED OUT OF TAG WORLD GRAND PRIX 2006~
Mike Quackenbush vs. Claudio Castagnoli
[1 Fall to a Finish]
...the snobby Swiss aristocrat Claudio Castagnoli will do battle with "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush one more time, but the stakes here are higher than ever before. The winner of this match will be entered into the Tag World Grand Prix 2006 with a partner of his choosing.

~BEST 2 out of 3 FALLS~
Hallowicked vs. Jigsaw
[60 Minute Time Limit]
...two of the scene's most underrated performers are set to light the ring ablaze when they engage in their final singles battle...

~LOSERS BOXED OUT OF TAG WORLD GRAND PRIX 2006~
Anthony Franco & Matt Turner vs. Davey Andrews & Shane Hagadorn
[1 Fall to a Finish]
....they are the four top prospects to emerge from the Ring of Honor training facility. But only two will advance into the 2006 edition of the biggest tag team tournament ever assembled...

~FIRST SINGLES ENCOUNTER~
Mister ZERO vs. Rorschach
[1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit]
...it's been a long time since Mister ZERO appeared in the ECW Arena. Heck, it's been a while since ZERO appeared anywhere! Injured this past May at the hands of Icarus and Gran Akuma, ZERO vanished for months, nursing his injured neck back to health. Returning as a surprise entrant in this year's Torneo Cibernetico, ZERO is back and better than ever.

....also at "Running in the Red" we'll have sets # 2 and # 3 of the new CHIKARA buttons, featuring Men@Work (Mister ZERO & Shane Storm) as well as another CHIKARA tag team. Any remaining Milano Collection AT/Skayde sets will also be available! Get your hands on all sorts of lucha goodies from Loteria games to kids masks to those infernal noise-making matracas! The last few remaining Shane Storm "That Japanese Move" t-shirts will be available! And all manner of glorious CHIKARA merch!
