There are no other words to describe this team and the Tourney. This is the only March Madness that matters.

Honestly I think Chikara shows are far superior to any other indy on the market right now. The booking is just magical.

Words of wisdom, right there.

And to other news; taken from Leonard F. Chikarason's blog:

3/6/2009: It is with a heavy heart that I write to the fans of CHIKARA, today. After the events of "If the Airplane is Snowed In, Put Your Bloody Skis on and Get Going," in particular, the King of Trios 2009 qualifying match, our own AOTYC, Worker Ant, was examined at St. Joseph's Hospital, and kept for observation overnight. What we have learned is that in a narrow span of time during his match with F.I.S.T., Worker Ant suffered a series of concussive-force blows to the cranium, a serious injury if ever there was one.

In light of this harrowing injury, and in particular the possible long-term repercussions, Worker Ant has decided to hang up his kickpads. Considering that even more than a week later, he has no memory of the match itself, this seems like a wise, if unfortunate way to proceed. Certainly, he will be missed, not just by Fire, Soldier and Green Ant, but by me as well.



Having recently seen the DVD's of the February events, it is clear to me that this injury could have been avoided if not for the excessive actions of F.I.S.T., especially Chuck Taylor, who may have done the most serious damage after the final bell had sounded.

In response to the requests of The Colony, and having seen the tag team match from "Means, Motive, Opportunity," I have two declarations to make official today. First, I am amending the decision rendered by Referee Nick Papagiorgio made in Easton, and ruling that the result of the match is the disqualification of Icarus and Chuck Taylor in violation of the unmasking rule. Therefore, one point toward title contention will be awarded to Fire Ant and Soldier Ant. Second, I am granting The Colony's request for an immediate rematch, as soon as King of Trios 2009 concludes.


Yours in Sport,
LFC

Worker Ant has been removed from the CHIKARA Roster page as of today. A hard loss for The Colony.

DAMN YOU, CHUCKY T!

Yeah...I miss Ricochet too...

I want more information on this "Green Ant". Can he grow to 8 feet tall? Does he smell like freshly-cut grass? Does he like the new "Watchmen" film???

If the Airplane is Snowed In's cover should have been a giant Chucky T burning the Colony with a magnifying glass. Good times. And hey, no more Stan AntSen.

Cool news, Vin Gerard will be having an interview on the Salty Biscuit radio show the monday before Trios (23rd) to talk about the event and to do some Q and A. The show streams live on the web from 7 to 8 on zumix.org
