Good Morning, Afternoon and Evening and welcome to yet another Indy licious edition of Hazed & Confused.
Quite a few things have happened since last time I posted, mainly in the worlds of CHIKARA who have recently held two shows, and SHIMMER who held an unbelievable FOUR DVD tapings this past weekend.
So starting off, as mentioned above, CHIKARA recently held two shows on the last weekend of April, results were as follows:
Behind The 8 Ball
April 25, 2009 ~ Palmer Community Center, Easton, PA
1. Jagged & Shane Matthews [2.0] def Frightmare & Hallowicked [Incoherence]
(9:57 ~ Brodie Lee intrusion > Schoolboys)
4. Atomico Increibles: Player Dos, Brodie Lee, STIGMA & Tim Donst def Player Uno, Buck Hawke, Vin Gerard & Hydra
(15:18 ~ Frog Splash by Player Dos on Buck Hawke)
5. Gran Akuma def Shadow Phoenix
(9:22 ~ Rubix Cube)
6. Icarus & Chuck Taylor [F.I.S.T.] def Fire Ant & Soldier Ant [The Colony]
(12:16 ~ Chuck Taylor tapped out Soldier Ant with a Cross Crab)
7. CHIKARA Young Lions Cup: Jimmy “Equinox” Olsen [c] def Colin Delaney
(12:21 ~ Straight Right Hand)
8. CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas ~ Best of 3 Falls:
Amasis & Ophidian [The Osirian Portal] [c] def Jigsaw & Mike Quackenbush

Fall Two: Jigsaw & Mike Quackenbush (9:14 ~ Skayde Especial I)
Fall Three: Amasis & Ophidian (6:57 ~ Reverse Rolling Prawn Hold)
2. 4 Way Elimination Match: KC “Cloudy” Day & Cheech Hernandez def Jagged & Shane Matthews [2.0], STIGMA & Colin Delaney [The UnStable], Player Uno & Player Dos [Super Smash Bros.]
(Elimination 1: 7:02 ~ Cross Legged Prawn Hold from KC Day on Shane Matthews)
(Elimination 2: 10:01 ~ Frog Splash from Player Dos on Colin Delaney)
(Elimination 3: 15:02 ~ Tidal Wave from KC Day on Player Uno)
3. Ultra Mantis Black def Create A Wrestler

4. Hallowicked, Delirious & Frightmare [Incoherence] def Eddie Kingston, Brodie Lee & Grizzly Redwood [The Roughnecks]
(12:52 ~ Huracanrana)
5. Sara Del Rey def Shark Girl
(6:01 ~ Royal Butterfly)
6. Jimmy “Equinox” Olsen, Helios & Lince Dorado [The Future is Now] def Ophidian, Amasis & Escorpion Egipcio
(15:04 ~ 630 Splash from Helios onto Egipcio)
8. Gran Akuma, Icarus, Chuck Taylor & Buck Hawke def Mike Quackenbush, Jigsaw, Fire Ant & Soldier Ant
(18:54 ~ Rubix Cube by Akuma on Jigsaw)
A few interesting points have come out of these shows, mainly that Mitch Ryder did not turn up for his scheduled matches and has since been released by CHIKARA.
Amasis & Ophidian walked out on Escorpian Egipcio during their match at The Bobliographon, and Escorpion has also been released.
And finally, what is for me personally some awesome news, Ultramantis Black and Crossbones kidnapped Delirious after his tag match at The Bobliographon. Now this could be very interesting indeed if they do somehow get Delirious to join The Order Of The Neo Solar Temple and a major coup for them.
Also as mentioned above, SHIMMER held this past weekend a mind boggling FOUR DVD tapings over the course of two days.
This meant a staggering forty plus matches in two days, with many of their roster wrestling three or four times during the weekend.
Obviously too many results to mention, but importantly Ms Chif is still the SHIMMER champion after defending against Serene Deeb on Vol 23, Wesna on Vol 25 and LuFisto on Vol 26 and also teamed up with Cheerleader Melissa to defeat Sara Del Ray and Amazing Kong on Vol 24.
So, with that out the way, on with the show and the Indy Interview!!

Thank you very much for joining us here, we appreciate you finding some time for us in your schedule and we all would like to wish you the best for the future.
So there you go, hilarious guy to interview and very down to earth.
The Indy Interview next week features a guy that I know many of you have asked for and been waiting for, that man is none other than Arik Cannon.
I m also running out of interviews now, with many that I have contacted failing to respond once the interviews have been sent to them. I understand that a lot of them are very busy and have time constraints, so once Ive done the current batch I m on, expect something slightly different from me for the time being, though as yet I have no idea what that will be.... maybe some CHIKARA Fantasy Booking could be a laugh.
Anyways, thats all from me for this article, so thank you for reading and stay tuned for the next one coming soon. In the mean time, do yourself a favor and check out some Indy Wrestling, especially CHIKARA, I promise you ll enjoy what you see.
