In a surprise to no one, CHIKARA announced that, on August 16th in Philadelphia, a lucha libre explosion will take place as eternal rivals Mascarita Dorada and Pierrothito will face off one-on-one. Those of you that were looking forward to their tag bout on night two should really anticipate this showdown on the third night of Young Lions Cup, as these two have had some of the best minis singles matches in the land.

Also announced over the weekend were a myriad of matches featuring CHIKARA talent for Inter Species Wrestling’s upcoming debut in the United States, “The Worst That Could Happen…in Connecticut”. With the inclusion of the CHIKARA talent, the card is somewhat reminiscent of their first event back in August of 2005 “One Hit Wonder”, where Quack and the gang headed to the great white north to take on the ISW talent. There are two incredibly noteworthy occurrences of CHIKARA talent on the show. The first one, on paper, stands to be one of the best matches in ISW history as CHIKARA’s Jigsaw takes on El Generico and Zombified in a three way. The second sees the return of Jolly Roger, CHIKARA’s original Party Pirate, as he steps out of retirement for the first time since 2005 (at “One Hit Wonder”, coincidentally), to take on Hydra in one hell of a battle between a pirate and a sea monster. Also announced is The Badd Boys, Chad and Brad Badd, taking on the unlikely duo of Vin Gerard and Buck Hawke and a showdown between CHIKARA semi-regular Pinkie Sanchez and ISW’s undead beast Izzie Deadyet (who appeared in CHIKARA way back in 2006 in a special Monster Mash preshow before the “Cibernetico Forever” event).
