The newest match to the final card of the CHIKARA season has been announced, and it’s one heck of an Atomico match that should be lots of fun. The Throwbacks – Dasher Hatfield and Sugar Dunkerton – team up with Colony representatives Green Ant and Carpenter Ant. Their opponents? The UnStable and Brodie Lee. The Big Rig is back on the highway of destruction after eliminating Grizzly Redwood from the CHIKARA roster with one swift boot to the face. Everyone in this match has something to prove to move up the ranks in 2010. We’ll see who walks out on top in 12 days.

It was also announced by CHIKARA that there will be one mystery match unannounced for both season finale cards. Who will be in those matches? Find out first here when we do our live results!

The newest episode of CHIKARA Podcast-a-Go-Go, with clips of The Roughnecks vs. Incoherence and Claudio Castagnoli vs. Shadow Phoenix from “Behind the 8 Ball”, can be watched here.

Be back later today when we put up the promos from “Cibernetico Increible” for your viewing pleasure!

A quick little update in between shows never did anybody any harm! After it was announced last night that Mitch Ryder would not be at the shows this weekend, one question remained regarding the Philly card: What would become of Claudio Castagnoli’s scheduled singles match with Ryder, a match that would surely have ended their grudge? Well, one man stepped up to the plate – former Toryumon star Shadow Phoenix, and now it will be Shadow vs. Claudio in a one-on-one battle! Shadow was only scheduled to participate on last night’s Easton show, but apparently he impressed greatly (receiving a “Please come back” chant) and as a result will also be seen on tonight’s event! Considering the great differences in style between Ryder and Phoenix, will the well-travelled Japanese star be able to pull off a huge upset or will Claudio do exactly as he did at the Global Gauntlet and defend CHIKARA against an international invader?

Check back later today for live coverage of “The Bobliographon”! The show begins at 4PM EST, 9PM GMT.

As noted yesterday, the international wrestler Shadow Phoenix will be making his CHIKARA debut in Easton for what has been confirmed to be his only appearance of the weekend. However, the martial artist will face a stern test against one of CHIKARA’s finest in the form of F.I.S.T.’s Gran Akuma. Akuma has previous form in tackling outsiders who have tried to gain some attention in CHIKARA, such as Masamune (who he defeated in February 2007), but he may not have ever faced a wrestler whose combination of speed and striking is quite as refined as Shadow Phoenix’s. Phoenix brings a handsome resume to the table, having been trained by Ultimo Dragon and Skayde and having wrestled for promotions such as Osaka Pro, Toryumon X and Michinoku Pro, so you can be assured he’ll pose quite the threat to Akuma. There will be kicks thrown and arm drags may be used, and this will be quite the little battle.

1. Nevaeh vs. Shark Girl
2. Shadow Phoenix vs. Gran Akuma
3. Fire Ant & Soldier Ant [The Colony] vs. Chuck Taylor & Icarus [F.I.S.T.]

Philadelphia will see a feud renewed in late April, as Hallowicked will again wage war against former team-mate Eddie Kingston, this time in trios action. Hallowicked will be bringing his protege Frightmare and his long-time ally Delirious to complete the Incoherence team, while King will be one-third of the Roughnecks, alongside Brodie Lee and Grizzly Redwood. This will mark the first confrontation between Hallowicked and Brodie since January, where Brodie brutally attacked Hallowicked with Frightmare’s chain after a tag team match. Not only that, but Brodie has continued to flaunt the “Incoherence-era” Hallowicked mask that he stole many months ago. “The Graveyard Warrior” will be looking to even the odds in April.

Other grudges also exist within the match. Frightmare will be intending to show Brodie that he is not a pushover, even though Brodie destroyed him in both of their previous matches. Grizzly Redwood will be out to show Frightmare that his loss to the rookie in the aforementioned January tag match was purely luck.

Philadelphia has proven to be one of the more notable locations when it comes to Eddie Kingston vs. Hallowicked. In April 2007 Eddie Kingston completed a turn to the rudo side when he ambushed Hallowicked before a scheduled match, blasting him with three Yakuza kicks. Later in that year Kingston battered former CHIKARA wrestler Ricochet after placing a Hallowicked mask over his head. In November on the season finale shows Kingston defeated Hallowicked, winning their feud. Heck, even in 2008 there were issues, as Eddie Kingston, Joker and Ruckus cheated to eliminate Hallowicked, Delirious and Helios from the King of Trios tournament. The Roughnecks were even born out of the mutual dislike for Hallowicked shared by Brodie and King. The wounds still haven’t healed between these two, and they’re sure to be torn back open in Philly.

Also apparently being set up for the Philly show, he’s Vin Gerard and he’s in a rage, he wants Glacier and he wants him in a cage.

There will be international participation on the April 25 show according to this banner, as Shadow Phoenix will be wrestling on at least one event. For those of you who may be asking “Who?”, here’s a bit of info. Recently Phoenix has been wrestling in Australia, at least as of December 2008. He’s perhaps best known as Murcielago from Toryumon X, a member of a trio of wrestling cars known as “Los Carros Exoticos”. When Toryumon X closed he moved on to Michinoku Pro as 119 Inoue Taijin, then Osaka Pro as Flash Moon, before leaving to become a freelancer. Since leaving Osaka Pro he has toured Australia as both Shadow Phoenix and Murcielago, and now it appears he will be making a rare North American appearance for CHIKARA!
