Event Center (6.3.2016) ft. words from Eddie Kingston on his match with Jaka at “Tightrope.”
CHIKARA Gen 1 original Jigsaw made his shocking return to the company during the Infinite Gauntlet back at “The Distant Future.” It looks as if he’s here to stay, as he’ll be taking on Oleg the Usurper at “Tightrope” on June 11th! There’s some unanswered questions from Jigsaw given how he left the company, so it will be interesting to see how he’s received and how he acts on this evening.
“Tightrope” - Saturday, June 11th - Philadelphia, PA

A four corner elimination tag team match has been signed for “Tightrope” on June 11! Of course, this match is an opportunity for a tag team to accrue 3 points and a Campeones de Parejas match in one fell swoop. So far announced for the match, Princess Kimberlee & Heidi Lovelace and The Osirian Portal!
So, Captain America said two words last week and nothing happened, right?

You think you're clever? [Tightrope]
CHIKARA has put together one of the most energetic Trios in CHIKARA history, teaming Fire Ant with N_R_G, to face Hallowicked and the Batiri at “Tightrope” on June 11th. This could be interesting depending on how the Aniversario tour shakes out, as the Batiri could come out of the UK with a Campeones de Parejas opportunity in their back pocket.

Icarus will do battle with Battleborn member “Juke Joint” Lucas Calhoun during the Aniversario tour this weekend, but waiting for him upon returning is another Battleborn member in Missile Assault Man on June 11th in Philadelphia! If Missile Assault Man is able to defeat the former Grand Champion, he himself will have accumulated three points and a shot at the title himself. Icarus too could earn a title opportunity if he defeats Calhoun on May 28th. Also, if Hallowicked is able to defeat Princess Kimberlee for the Grand Championship, Icarus would be playing gatekeeper now that is seemingly re-affiliated with the Broadsword of Nazmaldun. This is a match to keep your eye on come June 11th.

Ever since he was attacked by the BDK at “Tightrope”, Eddie Kingston has vowed to take down the entire faction, leading to Jakob Hammermeier. He successfully dominated in a match with Pinkie Sanchez in March, and at “Tightrope” on June 11th, he will lock horns with Jaka. It will be almost one year to the date of the first time these two men had a singles match at “Sword of Destiny” where Kingston was victorious. Can he beat Jaka again en route to Jakob Hammermeier, or will Jakob’s “beast” keep the War King at bay?

“Mr. Touchdown” Mark Angelosetti lost the trust of his step-cousin-in-law Dasher Hatfield when Hatfield discovered that the elbow pad Angelosetti gifted him was loaded with a piece of sheet metal, resulting in many victories for Hatfield and his team during the Challenge of the Immortals tournament. When Hatfield discovered this, he abandoned Angelosetti and vowed to no longer trust him. Angelosetti immediately realized the error of his ways and tried to make amends, but Hatfield wouldn’t hear it.
Juan Francisco de Coronado chose to exploit this animosity by recruiting Angelosetti to his Cibernetico team to oppose Hatfield. Coronado made it seem as if Angelosetti had knocked Hatfield off the apron, resulting in Hatfield being counted out, then won the Cibernetico himself by giving Angelosetti a German suplex. But it wouldn’t end there. Throughout 2016, Coronado has interjected himself into Angelosetti’s matches, framing Angelosetti as a cheater or as if he were going to hit Hatfield with a foreign object. Angelosetti grew more and more frustrated, but found retribution in hitting Coronado where it hurts: title opportunities. Coronado and Prakash Sabar were one point away from earning a shot at Los Campeonatos de Parejas, but Angelosetti served as a catalyst for them to lose. Angelosetti also eliminated Coronado from the Infinite Gauntlet later that night, costing Coronado the opportunity at an instant Grand Championship encounter. However, Coronado also cost Angelosetti the match when Hallowicked threw Angelosetti to the apron and Coronado yanked him to the floor.
Fed up, Coronado challenged Angelosetti to a No DQ match at “Tightrope” on June 11th when CHIKARA returns to the Wrestle Factory. The match was quickly accepted, and with the stipulation, this issue should come to a resolution.

Juan Francisco de Coronado blog (5.12.2016)
My name is Juan Francisco de Coronado. In Ecuador, we have a very popular phrase that says "nice guys finish last." In my time here at CHIKARA, this has never been more true! I live by this motto and because of it, it has propelled my career to legendary status. Too many people in the United Stations get caught up "doing the right thing" and "being a fair competitor," but it's those very same United Staters that fall victim to defeat. I am living proof that if you want to win and be successful, you will do anything and EVERYTHING in your power to do so.
"Mr. Touchdown" Mark Angelosetti has proved that he too will do what it takes to win. He will stop at nothing, even if he has to use a loaded elbow pad, rely on outside interference, or even employ a steel chair! I know the kind of man Mark Angelosetti is, and I know his ruthlessness disappoints some of you. No one is probably more disappointed than one Dasher Hatfield. You'll do well to remember: disappointed and surprised are two different things.
Mark, you are neither ally nor friend. As Ecuador's national treasure, I have no shortage of friends anyway. I don't need your feeble-minded acceptance. This past weekend however, you've made the mistake of thinking you can run amok in my playground. CHIKARA is my domain, and you are like a pathetic stray dog that needs to be put down. You cost me my chance at the Campeonatos de Parejas as I single-handedly had N_R_G beat! You framed me and that incompetent official played right into your little trick. Fortunately, I am nothing if not a brilliant strategenarian. Even if Prakash Sabar failed in our tag team match with N_R_G, I knew opportunity awaited in the Infinite Gauntlet. The odds were in my favor, entering in the most coveted spot, #33, the very final entrant. And again, the mangy mutt of CHIKARA rears his flea-bitten face.
If you think you are ready to play chess with the master, Mr. Touchdown, I will humor you. But the board will be of my design. On June 11th in Philadelphia of the United Stations, you will face me, one final time, in a No Disqualification match at "Tightrope"! Yes, anything goes, open playing field, all the tricks are legal because the rulebook is out on this one! Mark you are a very powerful, very skillful competitor, but you are as we say in Ecuador, "dumb as a box of rocks." You want so desperately to convince the world - and your own family - that you are not what we all know you to be.
On June 11th, there will be no rules. Nothing is off limits. We both know your strength and skill will never be enough to beat me. Especially in a match of this type. Show your true colors, dog. And prepare to scurry off, licking your wounds, when the Ecuadorian Aristocrat is done with you.
