I'm aware that most do not give the slightest of a fuck about CHIKARA as it is a more obscure promotion with shows that are not easy to find and also focuses on a lot of comedic aspects of professional wrestling. However, there's always a chance someone other than myself could take interest in their upcoming live iPPV, "Tomorrow Never Dies". The show will take place on December 6th and I believe it will be streamed live for free at http://taima.tv/r/wooo. CHIKARA may not be very popular around here, but I assure you there is something special about the company that has certainly kept me watching for a couple years now and has even changed my own perspective on pro wrestling and helped inspire ideas in EAW. For those with even remotely any interest, I ask that you consider checking out what will be their final show for this season (they will return in February, I believe) and has some great matches listed. It will cost you nothing to just watch it on the stream and I think it'll be worth it. I'll go ahead and list the card and the backstory that's been listed for them on wikipedia. I will also post some videos hyping up the event.

Icarus vs Deucalion

Background: On November 17, Chikara announced the main event of Tomorrow Never Dies, which will see Icarus taking on Deucalion. Deucalion made his debut at the conclusion of previous May's You Only Live Twice iPPV, when he was revealed as the leader of the Flood stable. Over the next months, Chikara started a storyline, where Deucalion began attacking wrestlers, who were all subsequently removed from the promotion's roster. His victims included Kobald, deviANT, Estonian ThunderFrog and Archibald Peck. Throughout the storyline, Deucalion was presented as unstoppable until he was speared off his feet by Chikara Grand Champion Icarus on October 26. On November 16, Icarus confronted and challenged Deucalion to a match at Tomorrow Never Dies, which he accepted. On November 28, Chikara announced that the match would be taking place inside a steel cage, making it only the second match in the promotion's history to use the stipulation.

Team CHIKARA (Worker Ant, Fire Ant, Silver Ant, Amasis, Ophidian, Kodama, Obariyon, & Jervis Cottonbelly) vs Team Flood (Jakob Hammermeier, Nokken, Flex Rumblecrunch, Jaka, Oleg the Usurper, Volgar, Sir Oliver Grimsly, & Soldier Ant)

Background: On November 7, Chikara announced that the annual torneo cibernetico would be taking place at Tomorrow Never Dies. Torneo cibernetico, which Chikara adopted from Mexican lucha libre, is a sixteen-man elimination tag team match, where there can be only one winner; meaning that after all members from one team have been eliminated, tag team partners from the other team may have to face each other to determine the winner. Chikara has held a torneo cibernetico annually since 2004, though in previous years it has headlined its own event in October. The previous torneo ciberneticos have served as a culmination point of each season's main storyline. These have included the rivalry between Jigsaw and Larry Sweeney in 2004, the rise of The Kings of Wrestling stable in 2007 and the rivalry between Chikara and Bruderschaft des Kreuzes (BDK) in 2010. On November 18, it was announced that the 2014 match would feature the main storyline of season 14, the rivalry between Chikara and the Flood, a villainous umbrella group made up of several rudo stables from Chikara's past years. Jakob Hammermeier and Worker Ant were announced as the captains of the Flood and Chikara teams, respectively.

UltraMantis Black vs Delirious

Background: On November 28, Chikara announced the seventh match for Tomorrow Never Dies, where Delirious faces UltraMantis Black in a Loser Leaves Chikara match. The storyline started back in April 2009, when the then rudo UltraMantis Black used the supposedly magical Eye of Tyr to brainwash Delirious into joining his Order of the Neo-Solar Temple stable. The following November, the BDK stable made its debut, took possession of the Eye of Tyr from UltraMantis and gained control over Delirious in the process. Delirious remained with BDK until Chikara's first iPPV, High Noon, in November 2011, where the now tecnico UltraMantis regained the Eye of Tyr and subsequently released Delirious from its spell. Delirious eventually returned to Chikara in early 2012, when he started a rivalry with UltraMantis, stating that he was going to make UltraMantis suffer for two years, just like he himself had suffered under the Eye of Tyr. Delirious and UltraMantis feuded for the rest of 2012 until Under the Hood, where UltraMantis was victorious over his rival in a ten-man tag team match, seemingly ending the rivalry. Delirious finally returned to Chikara in May 2014 at You Only Live Twice, where he attacked UltraMantis Black. With the rivalry reignited, Delirious, now once again affiliated with BDK under the Flood umbrella, kept attacking UltraMantis during the following months, including costing his team their opening match in the 2014 King of Trios.

Eddie Kingston vs Jimmy Jacobs

Background: On November 21, Chikara announced the fifth match for Tomorrow Never Dies between Chikara original Eddie Kingston and Jimmy Jacobs, one of the leading figures of the Flood, billed as the one who organized the group for Deucalion. After losing the Grand Championship to Icarus at You Only Live Twice, Kingston turned on Chikara and joined the Flood, after Jacobs promised him the title in return for his help in the Flood's war with Chikara. Kingston even represented the Flood in the 2014 King of Trios, where he, Jacobs and Volgar made it to the semifinals. After the Flood had won the tournament through The Devastation Corporation, Jacobs announced he was ready to deliver Kingston the Grand Championship. However, after a plea from Icarus, where he claimed that the title would be worthless if the Flood won the war and Chikara was no more, Kingston turned on Jacobs and the Flood and rejoined Chikara. Afterwards, Kingston declared war on the Flood, specifically setting his sights on Jacobs and trying to prove himself worthy of the Grand Championship in the process.

The Throwbacks (Dasher Hatfield & Mark Angelosetti) (c) vs The Devastation Corporation (Blaster McMassive & Max Smashmaster)

Background: On November 19, Chikara announced the fourth match for the iPPV, where The Throwbacks (Dasher Hatfield and Mark Angelosetti) will defend the Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas against The Devastation Corporation (Blaster McMassive and Max Smashmaster). In Chikara, teams need three points, or three back-to-back wins, in order to be eligible to challenge for the promotion's tag team championship, the Campeonatos de Parejas. After winning the 2014 King of Trios alongside their Devastation Corporation and Flood stablemate Flex Rumblecrunch, McMassive and Smashmaster earned their title shot by obtaining their third point on November 16, the same day The Throwbacks made their first successful defense of the Campeonatos de Parejas against former two-time champions 3.0 (Scott Parker and Shane Matthews).

Heidi Lovelace vs Missile Assault Ant

Background: The first match announced for the event will see Heidi Lovelace take on Missile Assault Ant in the finals of the Young Lions Cup XI tournament. The first round and semifinals of the tournament were held by Chikara's sister promotion, Wrestling is Fun! (WiF!). Missile Assault Ant earned his spot in the finals on October 11 by first defeating Argus in his first round match and then Donovan Dijak, Prakash Sabar, Race Jaxon, Rex Lawless and Shynron in a six-way elimination semifinal match. Lovelace, meanwhile, advanced to the finals on November 1 by first defeating Eddie Smooth in her first round match and then Arctic Rescue Ant, Joe Black, Kimber Lee, The Proletariat Boar of Moldova and Will Ferrara in her semifinal match, setting up the final match for Tomorrow Never Dies.

Ashley Remington vs Juan Francisco de Coronado

Background: The sixth match for the iPPV was also announced on November 21 and would see Ashley Remington and Juan Francisco de Coronado face off in the rubber match of their three match series against each other. Three days later, Chikara added a stipulation that the match can only be won with a German suplex.
