-CHIKARA Season Finale: "Stephen Colbert > Bill O'Reilly: When Sara Met Brodie" December 9 2007 - Alumni Hall at Penn State University, State College, PA
-Quick story: This show wasn't scheduled to happen. CHIKARA has an off-season from December to February, and the November 18th "Chapter 11" show was supposed to be the season finale. This was the case until Lince Dorado nearly died, and the show was called off before the big main event between Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli. This show is CHIKARA's way of making it up to the fans, and it was completely free. For those who care, Lince is doing fine now, and I'm sure he'll be back to doing his ridiculous shooting star senton soon. From this point on, everything is stolen from CHIKARAFans.com. Unofficial attendance of over 100 people. A metal folding chair is being used as the official ring bell. Show is UNDERWAY with Mitch Ryder lamenting his hatred for everyone in attendance, damning them and their trust funds.
1. The Colony def. The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple by pinfall when Fire Ant pinned Hydra following the pyramid splash. A really good opener and the crowd is very lively and into everything they do. The folding chair used as the ring bell has been cast away and is now replaced by the railing from a set of stairs as the official ring bell.
2. Vin Gerard submits Shane Storm via STF. Vin Gerard comes in via a different entrance to the building, truly a man that has been kicked out from the locker room. Along with his locker room rights, he has also been stripped of his rights to entrance music, as everything was silent. His gear now consists of wearing the Equinox tights, dirty and grimy underneath his new ripped-up black trunks, along with the 'Nox wristbands covered in black tape. Vin is now a mean and dirty fighter, using every nasty trick in the book early on. The crowd is ridiculously into everything on this show and it makes for an awesome atmosphere.
3. Team FIST and Brodie Lee defeat Cheech, Cloudy and Sara del Rey after Brodie Lee pins Sara del Rey following a BOOT TO THE TEETH and a huge sitout powerbomb. Icarus and Sara del Rey are starting off the match, and the crowd is certain to note that this is the closest that Icarus has ever gotten to an actual girl. Sara del Rey is throwing Brodie Lee around like a ragdoll with German suplexes, but ends up on the receiving end of THE BOOT.
4. Tim Donst pinned Mitch Ryder via rollup. Donst has a busted nose and it's bleeding pretty bad. Possibly broken. LINCE DORADO IS OUT FROM THE BACK! He distracts Mitch, Donst gets the rollup and PINS MITCH RYDER! The crowd is going absolutely wild at the appearance of Lince.
5. The Osirian Portal (Amasis & Ophidian) defeats Los Ice Creams after Amasis pinned Ice Cream Jr. The Portal seem to be working as technicos and the Ice Creams aren't exactly working as rudos. The crowd is a bit confused as to how to react. "Nothing exceptional to report."
6. Claudio Castagnoli pinned Chris Hero via Ricola Bomb. Hero comes out wearing the torn up Equinox mask. As boring of a description as it is, this was a match featuring Chris Hero against Claudio Castagnoli, so it was obvious from the start that it was going to be a million billion stars. Certainly delivered and was a fine ending to the year. The finish was built to perfectly, and the hot crowd was really, really into the entire match. Simply awesome.
