Colin Delaney has just posted a new blog on the official CHIKARA site revolving around his Easton match, which will apparently be against his former partner and “baby brother” Jimmy “Equinox” Olsen – and yes, according to Colin, Jimmy’s Young Lions Cup will be on the line! The updated lineup will be posted when the match is made official, but for now, here’s Colin’s blog:
4/8/2009: The Young Lions Cup…the biggest singles prize CHIKARA has to offer. Held by greats from STIGMA to Vin Gerard. And now, being tainted by the grubby hands of my little brother, Jimmy, the coward hiding under the mask of Equinox. It makes me sick to see, so I called up the offices, I dialed up Leonard F. Chikarason, and I made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
The former Olsen Twins are gonna collide at The Palmer Center in Easton! One night only, it might look like Equinox vs. Delaney, but underneath it’s Olsen vs. Olsen, brother vs. brother, man vs. better man.
The fans in PA were screwed out of this match when we locked up in Chicago last September – they didn’t get to see me pin baby brother’s shoulders to the mat, so lets do it one more time! Only this time…you have something I want. You see, beating Jimmy isn’t enough, because I’ve been beating Jimmy all our lives, and I don’t need to beat him again to prove who the better man is. I just want that shiny Cup he carries around. I want that Young Lions Cup back in The UnStable, back with the group that should be the King of Trios, and back with the group that (after April 26th) will have 3 points, and be on our way to having all the gold in CHIKARA. No one will be ignoring us then!
Little brother, come April 25th, I’m gonna beat you again. And trust me, it’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me.
Also, in DVD-related news, following the release of the King of Trios DVDs next week (April 14th, ladies and gentlemen), Smart Mark Video has agreed to reduce the prices of all CHIKARA DVDs from 2004-2007 from $20 to $15 for a limited time only. CHIKARA has said on the message board that if this proves to be a particularly lucrative venture they may try it more often, so buy buy buy!
Elsewhere, Glacier has accepted Vin Gerard’s challenge for a match later this month.
