Arch Street Center's mission is to support the recovery of adults living with serious mental illness by providing social, moral and material support, recreational and hygiene facilities in a safe, nurturing environment.

Our oldest tradition, the 15th annual Young Lions Cup tournament returns to homebase in Philadelphia. Sixteen rookies come from all over the planet for the chance to claim that coveted golden trophy. The quest to capture the Cup starts here, and when this event is over, the field of sixteen will have been whittled down to just two. Those two clash in the tournament final!

It's the epic conclusion to Young Lions Cup XV! Four young lions fight for the prize - Boomer Hatfield, Jaden Newman, Still Life With Apricots And Pears, Ricky South - but only one will come out ontop, while Solo Darling challenges , Interim Champion Dasher Hatfield for the Grand title in singles action!

Chikara joins The Collective in Jersey City for the zaniness of Mania Week! Joining us will be a cavalcade of Chikara stars past and present, plus some special guests from Spain and England! Don't miss Dasher Hatfield vs. Mark Angelosetti in a main event ladder match for the Chikara Grand Title!

All three CHIKARA titles are up for grabs on this loaded card of mega-matches, and a new tag is formed as well! Jakob Hammermeier presents his most monstrous acquisition, prompting a surprise turn from the least-likely candidate of them all! And, in what appears to be his final pro-wrestling bout, "The Hurricane" Shane Helms!

The Infinite Gauntlet is a massive battle royal, that sees 33 competitors enter the ring, each 88 seconds apart. They fight until just one is left in the ring, and the last wrestler standing captures a "Golden Opportunity!" Past winners of the Infinite Gauntlet include Hallowicked, Dasher Hatfield, Solo Darling, and Danjerhawk, proving just how unpredictable such a match can be!

Chikara returns to the Steel City with a Grand Champion Golden Dream Match where John Francis of Coronado teams up with Princess Kimberlee to take on, reigning champion, Dasher Hatfield and Icarus, we see the debut of the Rascalz and Young Lion's Cup is on the line, Still Life with Apricots and Pears will defend against the Green Ant.

At this year's Aniversario, Father and son collide where Boomer Hatfield takes on Dasher Hatfield in an epic 'mask vs. mask' main event where one make will walk away without his mask. Whatever happens, both careers will be irrevocably changed. Plus a card full of spectacular tag team action!

At the order of Director of Fun Sidney Bakabella, fighter from The Crucible will be given the chance to showcase their abilities, in a series of Open Challenges. The Young Lions Cup is on the line as Breaux Keller, one of the alternates in this year's tournament, steps up to face defending champ, Still Life With Apricots And Pears!

The fastest-rising star on our roster, Boomer Hatfield, steps up to the plate against Still Life With Apricots And Pears, looking to add another accolade to his resume - the Young Lions Cup! Podcasting pro-wrestlers "Off The Hop Rope" make their Chikara debut, but draw the short straw when it comes to opponents; they take on the massive monsters of The Proteus Wheel.

A wild, windy night at Frawley Stadium in the First State sees a gaggle of first-time ever encounters! Molly McCoy joins forces with The Proteus Wheel for a weird trios match in our main event, while Still Life With Apricots And Pears continues to defend the Young Lions Cup against all comers!

Hometown hero Mike Quackenbush is in singles action and the charismatic Cabana Man Dan returns to our ring! Yet another Open Challenge is issued by The Crucible for this event, and a new chapter in the saga of F.I.S.T. vs. The Colony is written as Travis Huckabee trades holds with Thief Ant. PLUS: the wild antics of our opening contest spill over into a terrific trios match, as our main event!

Our pals up at Coca-Cola Park have declared this day to be "Make Adam Sandler Great Again" day, and we gotta admit...we do not really understand what that means. But we're team players, of that you can be certain, so we'll welcome the Revolting Blob into our ring, just this one time, to loosely connect our pre-game card to the baffling theme of "MASGA."

In this edition of Chikara we see Solo Darling going up against the unstoppable Still Life with Apricots and Pears! Tunku Amir takes on Johnny Radke aka The Messiah of the Manbun. We have animal cruelty with the Stray Kat vs. Hermit Crab and Semifinal rounds of the Johnny Kidd Invitational 2019 closes out the show!

It's a rare occasion when the CHIKARA gang comes to the Old Line State! Join us for a fun night out, as the Blue Crabs supply the baseball and then we bring the fun-filled lucha super party to Waldorf! A ticket to the ballgame is all you need to enjoy this electric evening of family-oriented entertainment!

The finals of the Johnny Kidd Invitational is our featured bout, to say nothing of two championship matches! Per the Director of Fun, a portion of the card is carved out for the Open Challenges of The Crucible, conducted under their system of rules. BLANK attempts to erase Penelope Ford from CHIKARA, while Missile Assault Man is looking to cut a direct path to his rematch with Hallowicked!

The biggest tournament in all of pro-wrestling lands in Reading, PA this October! In all, 48 competitors from around the globe will converge on Berks County for the event!

Night 2 will see all 4 quarter-final matches of the tournament, plus a special non-tournament bout pitting Blank against Still Life With Apricots And Pears. If that's not enough, the Rey de Voladores mini-tournament kicks off here, scheduled to include the likes of Cajun Crawdad and Alex Zayne!

Only the final four are left standing, and by night's end, we'll crown the victors! Plus: the annual Tag Team Gauntlet match sees 10 duos compete in a winner-stays-on match that tests endurance and continuity! The Rey de Voladores mini-tournament comes to a climax as the final two flyers duke it out. And, a few special non-tournament bouts punctuate the proceedings as well!

The epic conclusion of Season 20! Missile Assault Man looks to finally put a nail in the coffin of Hallowicked, and Still Life With Apricots And Pears emerges from the long shadow of BLANK. Mike Quackenbush's 25th Anniversary Tour opens the door for a unique match-up against fellow master of the mat, Thomas Santell!
