Chikarasaurus Rex 2: King of Sequel Night 2
The Asylum Arena
Philadelphia, PA
July 31, 2011
ICEx60 Champion Tsukasa Fujimoto defeated Makoto in an Ice Ribbon Showcase.
Archibald Peck defeated Dasher Hatfield with a reverse Styles Clash after Veronica hit Hatfield with the baton. A lot of comedy with Peck inadvertently hitting referee Jonathan Barber three different times. Peck as a character is such a perfect fit for Chikara.
Daizee Haze countered a suplex attempt by Mima Shimoda to get the win. After the match, Shimoda attacked Haze with a chair. Then, she seemed confused when the crowd booed her. Haze had to be carried to the back.
The Spectral Envoy defeated 3.Ole. During the match, Tim Donst came out with a chair and attacked Frightmare. 3.0 chased off Donst, which brought out the rest of the men of the BDK. While there was a standoff in the aisle between 3.0/Incoherence and the BDK, Mantis hit Generico with a Praying Mantis Bomb for the win. Mantis offered Generico his hand after the bout. And 3.Ole still haven’t picked who is team captain.
After intermission, it is announced that Team FIST’s opponents did not arrive so we go to the hat to pick new opponents. The first name Director of Fun Wink Vavasseur picked is IWGP Tag Team Champions, Bad Intentions (Giant Bernard and Karl Anderson). Obviously, they’re in Japan on tour with New Japan, so they miss out. Next names pulled are Rey Bucanero and Atlantis. Surprisingly, the luchadors from CMLL are in the building. Gargano and Taylor pull out the win after Johnny fakes being fouled and Derek Sabato falls for it. That is three points for Taylor and Gargano, who now earn the right to challenge Quack and Jigsaw for the Campeonatos de Parejas.
In 12 Large Summit action, Eddie Kingston defeated Jigsaw with a bridging Saito suplex. They beat the hell out of each other with Eddie favoring his knee and Jigsaw favoring his arm. They both kicked out of multiple finishers and fought back hard. Kingston remains perfect in the 12LS with 6 pts. Jigsaw isn’t on the board yet.
In the British Legend Dream Partner Match, Mike Quackenbush and Johnny Saint defeated Johnny Kidd and Colt Cabana when Saint pinned Kidd. 25+ minutes of wrestling joy. All four participants looked like they were having an absolute ball in the ring. Postmatch, Johnny Kidd attempted to thank Quackenbush for the opportunity to wrestle in America. Quack, however, grabbed the microphone and thanked Saint and Kidd for coming and the fans for their enthusiastic response, citing Dean Malenko’s initial reluctance to come to Philly, worried about the fans’ response then. Saint then grabbed the mic and thanked the Philly crowd for the love as well.
In 12 Large Summit action, Sara Del Rey (seconded by Daizee Haze) defeated Claudio Castagnoli (seconded by Tursas) with a crucifix reversal. At the start of the match, Claudio expected Del Rey to lay down. Sabato even rang the bell to start the match and immediately went to a counting position. Sara refused, shouting “No, I hate you,” and they traded shots. Claudio had her beaten twice, but pulled her up both times, which set up her crucifix. After the match, Claudio attacked Sara with a bicycle kick and Daizee with a chokeslam. The crowd was loudly behind Sara Del Rey throughout the match, and the reaction was loud when she got the pin.
Notes: Mike Quackenbush, Colt Cabana, Gavin Loudspeaker, Tim Donst, Ultramantis Black, and Leonard F. Chikarason rotated doing commentary. Paul Turner again appeared as a referee in Bryce Remsburg’s absence. It was announced that “High Noon,” Chikara’s return to Philadelphia on November 13, will be an iPPV. That event will include the finals of the 12 Large Summit. We also got a video announcing the return of Manami Toyota. That video also included a reveal of Aja Kong, announcing Joshi-Mania for December. Chikara’s next event is the Young Lions Cup tournament, the last weekend of August in Easton, PA.
