CHIKARA's Young Lions Cup IX is shaping up. Here it comes
Confirmed for NIGHT ONE of TLC IX.
Confirmed for NIGHT TWO of YLC IX on Sunday afternoon, August 28th in Easton, PA is the return of The Countdown Showdown! This COMPLETELY ORIGINAL, NON-COPYRIGHT ENCROACHING bout will see 30 competitors enter the ring one-by-one, and they can only be sent out of The Coundown Showdown by over-the-top-rope eliminations!

Archibald Peck is out

Taking the 12th spot in Young Lions Cup IX is Professor Milo Shizo, a graduate of the Ring Of Honor Wrestling Academy who has dabbled in experimental chemistry as well. Unfortunately, an accident in the lab has had some strange effects on the Professor, resulting in an altered physical appearance and increased mathematical brain function. Milo covers himself in a mask very reminiscent of his trainer, though he seems to function at much higher cognitive capacity than Delirious currently does. Does Professor Milo Shizo have the smarts to figure out the most effective path to Young Lions Cup glory?

Why is it that the goofy gimmicks that come out of the ROH Wrestling School always fit in a lot better in CHIKARA?

Taking the 14th spot in Young Lions Cup IX is Will o' The Wisp II, a competitor who impressed CHIKARA Director Of Fun Wink Vavasseur with his performance against Ophidian at our North Carolina debut this past May. Will o' The Wisp II was indeed bestowed the persona by it's originator, more popularly known these days as Jeff Hardy. But whatever your opinions of the controversial original may be, Will o' The Wisp II has taken the high risk and in-the-moment style of his predecessor to heart, and has used to it great success in his short career.

Claiming the 15th spot in Young Lions Cup IX is yet another international competitor as Osaka Pro's Tadasuke joins us once more after debuting at KING OF TRIOS 2010! Tadasuke's inclusion in YLC IX continues the talent-exchange between CHIKARA and Osaka Pro, and also put many of the other competitors in YLC IX on notice. Over the past nine months, Tadasuke has aligned himself with the JOKER faction in Osaka Pro, being molded into an even more vicious brute than we saw in his US debut.

Archibald Peck shares some preliminary legal discourse from his attorney, Barrister R.D. Evans, as it regards YLC!
