Chikara

Season 16 kicks off as we present "The Days of the Phoenix", featuring six sensational match-ups, including a main event title bout! Reigning Campeones de Parejas Hype Rockwell and Race Jaxon must defend their titles against Hallowicked and Frightmare, in a best 2-out-of-3 falls contest! Plus: Soldier Ant, at last, gets his hands on Jakob Hammermeier!

Newly crowned Grand Champion of CHIKARA, Princess KimberLee, will have no time to rest on her laurels, as there's a barbarian at the gate: Oleg the Usurper! The Encore Match and backstage interviews round out an event certain to delight the senses. The card is highlighted by an astounding trios match that sees The Snake Pit firing on all cylinders against the time-tested trio of The Colony!

The annual National Pro Wrestling Day celebration comes to Reading, PA! Featuring the complete Young Lions Cup XII tournament, the debut of Scoot Tatum and more pro-wrestling than you can shake a stick at! In a special attraction, former WWE diva Mickie James returns to CHIKARA after a 12+ year absence, to lock up with Princess KimberLee!

The "Standing Room Only" signs went up early for "Dead Man's Chest"! In the Bronx, Princess KimberLee puts her Grand Championship on the line against Soldier Ant in an epic encounter! Plus: the first defense of the Young Lions Cup by newly-crowned champ ThunderFrog, and Jakob Hammermeier commits highway robbery before the sold-out crowd!

The enemy of my enemy is my ally - or at least, that's what Oleg the Usurper and Princess KimberLee have reasoned. Last month, they were opponents, but can they put the past behind them and overcome their mutual foe, The Devastation Corporation? And if Flex Rumblecrunch and Blaster McMassive aren't enough to worry about, they've got Max Smashmaster lurking in their corner as well!

Oleg the Usurper has hunted down his former stablemates, and now just one remains - Blaster McMassive. These two heavyweights collide in a bitter grudge match, while in the main event, reigning Campeones Hype Rockwell and Race Jaxon (N_R_G) face the #1 contenders to their titles, in the duo of Missile Assault Man and Lucas Calhoun.

An historic occasion - #1 contender Heidi Lovelace challenges the reigning Grand Champion Princess KimberLee in the main event! These two ladies knock down barriers and expectations in this monumental match-up that is as much about equality as it is about the state-of-the-art in professional wrestling!

The Tag World Grand Prix 2016 begins here! Eight teams converge on the Wrestle Factory for the opening round of the tournament.

Plus: non-tournament action as Icarus looks to set the record straight after a contested loss to Wani in North Carolina.

The epic conclusion to the 2016 edition of the Tag World Grand Prix! Only 4 teams surivived "Phone Home" to advance into the semi-final round of the tournament, and the main event features the Tag World final!

Our 2016 UK Tour climaxes in Scotland, as we invade St. Luke's Auditorium in Glasgow! In the main event, Hallowicked cashes in for a shot at regaining the Grand Championship of CHIKARA from the woman who defeated him back at "Top Banana" - none other than Princess KimberLee!

It's rare to see a "No Disqualification" match in a CHIKARA ring, but there is no other way to end the rivalry between Mr. Touchdown and Juan Francisco de Coronado! To keep the chaos (somewhat) under control, none other than Dasher Hatfield has been assigned as the Special Referee for the bout!

Dasher Hatfield faces Drew Gulak in the main event with the guarantee that the winner will have the three points needed to challenge Hallowicked for the CHIKARA Grand Championship, intergender action as Princess Kimberlee teams with Heidi Lovelace and Team Sea Stars against the Nightmare Warriors, Team Big Deal debuts, and more.

The members of The Colony mount a two-pronged offensive against the swelling forces of Nazmaldun, with Silver Ant and Worker Ant teaming together, while Fire Ant looks to take the title away from Hallowicked! "Rump Thump" Stephon Smith makes his CHIKARA debut, and Moustache Mountain are out to make a point, and win a point, all in one fell swoop.

They both trained at the Wrestle Factory. They both ascended through the ranks to be counted among the very best. They both evolved into trainers themselves. Now, Grand Champion Hallowicked, the Gen-1 Original, locks up for the very first time against #1 contender Drew Gulak, in the midst of his breakout year!

Can the Osirian Portal overcome the swelling ranks of Nazmaldun's legion of so-called "heXed Men"? Jigsaw and Missile Assault Man have a hard-hitting slugfest, while Icarus vents his hatred toward Silver Ant in an outstanding opening contest. The Big Deal's "Closers" (Rick Roland and Sloan Caprice) don't take kindly to the shenanigans of Los Ice Creams, much to the dismay of the dairy duo!

Heidi Lovelace makes history as the first wrestler to ever challenge for the Grand Championship twice in the same season! Will lady luck be on her side when she faces off against Hallowicked in the main event? Mark Angelosetti looks to continue his streak of wins (and show-stealing performances) as he takes on a fellow former Young Lions Cup champ, Fire Ant!
