More Matches & Teams for #YOLT Announced
A lot of eyes are on both Chikara Pro and Wrestling Is Fun! this coming weekend, as the 2014 Tag World Grand Prix may be for more than just WIF fruit (if the rumors that the WIF tag-team championship will be pears, a la the singles "Top" Banana Championship). As noted, Knight Eye for the Pirate Guy (Lance Steel & Jolly Roger) are currently in possession of the Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas belts, although they are not recognized as official champions. KE4TPG came to have the belts thanks to their manager, "Princess" Kimber Lee, who seemingly acquired them in the Chikara asset auction held by the Titor Conglomerate last year.
Now, however, it has been announced that the fourth team in the 4-Corner Elimination Tag Match at Chikara Pro's "You Only Live Twice" event will be the winners of the TWGP. There are four teams in the running-- the Devastation Corporation (Max Smashmaster & Blaster McMassive), 3.0 (Shane Matthews & Scott Parker), The Throwbacks (Dasher Hatfield & Mr. Touchdown), and Knight Eye for the Pirate Guy (Lance Steel & Jolly Roger).
Also at YOLT, two men who have been active in the Wrestling Is network will come to Chikara, as it will be Jervis Cottonbelly vs Juan Francisco de Coronado. Cottonbelly got his start in Chikara, a quintessential British gentleman and nicknamed "the world's sweetest guy," going into a brief retirement before deciding to dust off his bowler hat and return to the ring. Juan Francisco, the Ecuadorian Aristocrat, is an arrogant, conceited blowhard, known for his protracted entrances and utter refusal to play by the rules.
Dates for NC/VA Announced
The dates for "Thunderball" and "Moonraker," Chikara's trips to North Carolina and Virginia, have been announced. "Thunderball" will be in Gibsonville, NC on October 25, while "Moonraker" will be in Richmond, VA on October 26.
The fact that this leaves a noticeable gap in September has already got Chikara fans buzzing. In 2012, Chikara Pro hosted "King of Trios" in September. Fans are salivating at the prospect of Chikara's flagship tournament weekend making its long-awaited return.
