FIRST HALF OF CHIKARA AT WRESTLECON COVERAGE

By Mike Johnson on 2013-04-06 16:27:40
We are live at Wrestlecon for CHIKARA's live event. I'll be here for as long as possible until I have to leave for the WWE Hall of Fame. Josh Higham is also in attendance and will fill in results for us if I have to leave before the conclusion of the show.

The promotion broke 1,000 fans here which may be their all time crowd record.

Kobald vs. Saturyne.

Kobald attacked her before the bell.  Nice guy.  She made a comeback but missed a dropkick and was nailed with a hard elbow.  She came back with an Octopus, trying to force a submission.

Kobald made a comeback and did the Five Knuckle Shuffle, which the crowd hated.  She came back with a sunset flip attempt but was thwarted.    She went to the top but was nailed hard by Kobald.  He went for a superplex but she shot him off and sent him to the mat.

Saturyne scored with a missile dropick off the top.   Kobald caught her attempting a move but she turned it into a big bulldog for a two count.  She peppered him with axe kicks for another two count.  They went back and forth with near falls.

Kobald went to the top but crotched himself when Saturyne shaked the ropes.  She countered a move into head scissors and rolled him up for the pin.

Your winner, Saturyne!

Devastation Corporation vs. The Batiri vs. The Throwbacks

Devastation Corporation vs. The Batiri vs. The Throwbacks vs.  Blind Rage & Ultramantis Black

Early on Devastation used their power.  Mr. Touchdown tried several times to take them down with his tackles but failed.  He's great at his persona.  He finally stomped one of their feet and took him down with a tackle.

They all ended up on the floor and Blaster hit a crazy running dive over the top to the floor.   Back in the ring, they worked over Dasher Hatfield and crushed him in the corner with  big splashes.  

The Batiri tagged in and worked over Hatfield   One of them tagged in and leapt into the ring with a rana.  That was great.    They locked Hatfield in a side chinlock trying to wear him down.   Mantis tagged in  and worked over Batiri, then tricked Devastation into running themselves over the ropes as he pulled them down. 

Mantis and Blaster went face to face and battled back and forth.   Devastation took out Dasher with a big splash off the ropes, eliminating The Throwbacks.

Mantis rolled up Blaster and pinned him, eliminating Devastation Corporation.

The Batiri nailed Scrambled Brains on Blind Rage and scored the pin.

Your winners, The Batiri.

They won three points with the win and have now earned the right to challenge for the CHIKARA Tag straps.

Amasis vs. Ophidian

Ophidian came out in a wheelchair carrying crutches.  The crowd immediately chanted that he was a faker.    He claimed he was hurt and was happy that the people wouldn't see him fight.

He got into the ring but was limping.  He continued talking and hypnotised his former partner, using their old trick against him.    He knocked Amasis for being predictable.  He said Amasis was under his spell but behind him, Amasis revealed he was faking and nailed a big spinebuster.

Amasis attacked him and worked him over.  Kobald tried to stop him but was nailed.   The Batiri then hit the scene and worked over Amasis.  Ophidian drilled him over the back HARD with the crutch.

They all held Amasis  as Ophidian said he had something for him and went to spew mist in his face but Amasis fought back.  The Batiri nailed a crazy powerbomb on him.

They left Amasis laying.

FIST vs. 3.0 & Marty Jannetty & Gran Akuma

Dunketon and Scott Parker started out.  Parker controlled him.  They ended up in a dance off. Johnny Gargano broke it up and had words with Dunkerton for falling into that.  He took down Shane Matthews but was shoulderblocked down.  Matthews went for a Boston Crab but was thrown out of the ring by Chuck Taylor.

Taylor and Gran Akuma went back and forth.  Akuma controlled him with an armbar.  Icarus entered the fray and Jannetty tagged in.  Jannetty grabbed Icarus' ring jacket and teased putting it on, then put it on Icarus.  Dunkerton tagged in and faced off with Marty.

Everyone fought back and forth while trying to get control of a multi man suplex attempt.  After that, Dunkerton and Jannetty faced off in a dance off.  Well, it is CHIKARA.  They began doing the Prime Time Players dance and Jannetty grabbed him for a snapmare.

They all went for head scissors at the same time, leading to Matthews locking a Boston Crab on pretty much everyone.  FIST took control and Taylor stomped the hell out of Icarus. Referee Bryce Remsberg argued with him and they shoved each other.

Matthews caught Gargano with a big head scissors.  They went into a series of those.  Remsberg nailed Taylor to a big pop.   They all went back and forth with some awesome stuff.

In the end, Icarus made Akuma tap to the CHIKARA Special.

AWESOME.

I am out for the Hall of Fame.  Josh will fill in the remainder later!
