Match No. 4: Jolly Roger & American Gigolo vs. Ultra/ZERO (UltraMantis & Mister ZERO). Looks like match is joined in progress. ZERO working over Roger early. These two are working well together.

Things getting a bit sloppy. ZERO gets the hot tag. But he gets caught in an overhead abdominal stretch by Gigolo. ZERO and Mantis then catch Roger with a double cutter (Last Shaven Unicorn) for the pin. Decent match, but a bit sloppy, open must have sucked if they cut it and finish came out of nowhere. Rating: **

Match No. 5: Swiss Money Holding (Claudio Castagnoli & Ares) vs. Senior Assault Team (Melvin Snodgrass & Lester Crabtree). This may be Castagnoli’s first U.S. appearance. Very quick squash as Ares holds Lester and Castagnoli hits a neckbreaker (Cash Flow) for the pin. Rating: **

Match No. 7: The Night Shift (Hallowicked & Blind Rage) vs. Team F.I.S.T. (Gran Akuma & Icarus). Icarus and Blind Rage open. Both are sporting new looks from the first year.

Quack and Hero do a double Hero’s Welcome but Claudio makes the save. Hero applies stepover toehold inverted crevatte (Hangman’s Clutch) while Claudio puts Quack in a bridging cobra clutch (Swiss Sleeper Hold) and the bell rings. Turns out it is a time limit draw. Both team are eliminated from the tournament. For booking reasons, match had to go 30 minutes, but damn did it drag and lose the crowd. Guys did some great moves but lacking several things to make it outstanding match. Rating: ***

Another jump cut as now Zero is laying the boots to Kingston sitting in the corner. He then gives Kingston some facewashes and a running big boot to the face.

A sloppy spot or two but I liked the finish, as Quack is educating the CHIKARA fans. Last show, it was a real low blow, this time a phantom nut shot.

Match No. 4: Blind Rage vs. Love Bug. This was actually opener, but shown in this spot. Love Bug wins after Blind Rage is DQ’d for low blow. Rating: **1/4 Average match, kind of short with questionable finish. Since this is second show, maybe Quack is trying to get over Lucha style of rules.

Match No. 1: Mister Zero vs. Dragonfly. Love the pop-up video captions that give background, name the wrestling holds (VHS version only).

Zero also drinks coffee from his mug during the match. Zero wins with nasty Last Shaven Unicorn Drop. Rating: **1/2 Two rookies wrestle good, solid match.

Match No. 2: UltraMantis vs. Blind Rage. Blind Rage wins with Gory Catapult. I’ve never seen this move before so I take no credit for getting the name correct. Thanks, pop-up video. Rating: **1/2 Another good but not great match. No blown spots, but Mantis calls audible spot within earshot of camera.

Match No. 3: Zane Madrox vs. Kid Kruel. Madrox taps to arm bar. Rating: None (highlights only)

Match No. 5: Goldbond Mafia (C.M. Punk, Colt Cabana & Chris Hero) vs. Black T-shirt Squad (Mike Quackenbush, Reckless Youth & Don Montoya). Damn good main event for CHIKARA debut. Crowd is very over for Punk. Quack does nice Spaceman Plancha. Cabana’s antics are spectacular. Props to Quack for booking these guys before ROH. All six do submissions at the same time. Quack misses Reverse Frankensteiner. It looks like Cabana blew the spot. He hits it a second time and Reckless then pins Cabana with a Northern Lights Bomb 2K1. Rating: ***3/4 Great, entertaining match by six professionals. They went 30 minutes and it never dragged.
