Sonny Defarge blog, 5.25.2017
To whom it may concern,
This Saturday the world over shall celebrate the 15th anniversary of CHIKARA. The fact was recently brought to my attention that the unmannerly cyclists known as Dez Peloton have accomplished the feat of achieving three points and have earned the right to contend, on this day, against my business associate, Mr. Crummels, and I, in yet another feeble attempt to remove the Campeonatos de Parejas from our well-deserved possession. To this I say good luck to you gentlemen.
Throughout our storied and successful careers as businessmen and combatants alike, Mr. Crummels and I have amassed many treasures, prizes and awards. For as long as I can remember men and women of a lesser capacity for success have attempted to pilfer what we have earned through precision and teamwork. The situation found here involving the detestable cyclists is no different than these past attempts save for one detail; Dez Peloton has defeated us in the past. No other team in CHIKARA can legitimately make such a claim. However, Mr. Crummels and I are more than prepared to face this obnoxious team once more because, as we have proven in the past, in spite of the vigorous training through which they put their bodies and minds, Dez Peloton cannot function under high pressure conditions.
Mr. Crummels and I perseverate in our success in the face of doubters and multiple attempts at the expropriation of the titles that we have earned through innumerable legitimate victories the likes of which are unheard-of in both the realms of business and professional combat sports. Meanwhile we continuously find Dez Peloton sharing kale recipes and personal records in their fitness-related outings. Mr. Crummels finds himself, now, in need of medical attention after having fallen ill during a business venture in Kiribati the likes of which many wouldn't understand. However he trains still! (Though we will be accepting donations in favor of his health fund, as well as pledges and contributions to benefit our training. We now accept bitcoin!) Meanwhle, Jasper Tippins couldn't even be bothered to appear in the Infinite Gauntlet. The lack of determination is apparent.
All of this to say that we have proven in the past, over the course of three seasons, that we, CHIKARA's legitimate businessmen, are the greatest tag team to have ever graced the sport of professional wrestling with its performance. Dez Peloton has only succeeded in proving the durability of their quadriceps over long distances. Hardly enough to compete with the Campeones de Parejas.
In conclusion, sirs/and or madams, Dez Peloton will ride their momentum all the way to the Aniversario event in Hellertown, PA and that is where their momentum will stop. Legitimate business will prevail through an attempted hostile takeover, yet again, while the gears rust, the chains seize, and the pedals stop moving. And every good businessman knows that when a bicycle's pedals stop moving, the only thing left for a bicycle to do is collapse.
As always, for this and all of the business ventures shared by Mr. Crummels and I, I have some great expectations.
-Mr. Defarge

Event Center (5.19.2017) ft. words from Dez Peloton on their upcoming Campeones de Parejas opportunity, and Bryce reveals the second team in the Aniversario 10 man tag team main event!
A first time ever singles match for “Aniversario: School Reunion” has been set! Missile Assault Man will go for his third point and a shot at the Grand Championship against a man who just unsuccessfully challenge Juan Francisco de Coronado for that very title, Oleg the Usurper. Will Missile earn his first ever opportunity at the Grand Championship on CHIKARA’s 15th anniversary, or will Oleg play spoiler?

Merlok has been terrorizing the CHIKARA locker room since his debut in Season 17. Before Merlok, many other large masked men ruled the roost, like his opponent for “Aniversario: School Reunion”: Crossbones! Crossbones has been absent since the Season 11 finale “Under the Hood”, but the real life heavyweight horror is back for at least one good fight! It’s an old school vs. new school hoss battle; who will come out on top?

Over the years, CHIKARA has held several “Golden Dreams” matches, in which all competitors in the contest are former (or current) Young Lions Cup champions. A first time Golden Dream tag team match takes place at “Aniversario: School Reunion” when the 16th YLC champion “Mr. Touchdown” Mark Angelosetti and the 9th YLC champion Fire Ant battle the 3rd YLC champion Jigsaw and the 5th YLC champion Arik Cannon. There’s a lot of CHIKARA history amongst these four competitors, but it will also be the first time we’ll have seen Jigsaw since Nazmaldun’s curse was lifted. This could very well steal the show.

CHIKARA will be celebrating it’s 15th anniversary on Saturday, May 27th in Hellertown, PA! This will be CHIKARA’s first time back in Hellertown in nearly 9 years.
Two announcements have been made for the card so far. First, the main event of the evening will be a 10 man tag, and one entire team has been revealed: former grand champion Hallowicked, current Grand Champion Juan Francisco de Coronado, Gran Akuma (making his CHIKARA return after a 4 year absence), El Hijo del Ice Cream, and Frightmare.
Second, Sonny Defarge & Cornelius Crummels will make their third Campeones de Parejas defense. This time, it is against their rivals in Dez Peloton, who are making their first attempt at capturing the gold.
If the main event is any indication, this show will have some fun surprises!
