Modified results from CHIKARA. About 400 people showed up and were in a good mood. How good? When asked outside if they were ready, line of people started w/ YES chant.
They used the CHIKARA curtain and most of ROH's setup. Gavin Loudspeaker sang for the crowd. Oh WAY oh!
"Hot Off the Griddle" 4.28.2012 @ The Frontier Fieldhouse (Chicago Ridge, IL)
1. Jigsaw & Fire Ant & Soldier Ant {W} & Green Ant d. The Shard & combatANT {L} & deviANT & assailANT (13:32 ~ CHIKARA Special)
2. Mixed Martial Archie d. Kobald (6:45 ~ Guillotine)
3. Dasher Hatfield & Mark Angelosetti {W} d. Obariyon & Kodama {L} (9:42 ~ Cradle)
4. 17 d. Tianlong (1:05 ~ Shoulder Lock & Scissor)
5. Matt Jackson {W} & Nick Jackson d. Arik Cannon & Darin Corbin {L} (10:00 ~ "More Bang for Your Buck")
6. Scott Parker & Shane Matthews {W} & UltraMantis Black & Hallowicked d. Tim Donst & Jakob Hammermeier {L} & Harlem Bravado & Lancelot Bravado (12:13 ~ Boston Crab)
CHIKARA Grand Championship: 7. Eddie Kingston d. Kevin Steen (13:10 ~ Disqualification)
8. Gran Akuma {W} d. FIST (Icarus & Chuck Taylor & Johnny Gargano {L}) (8:00 ~ Prawn Hold)
9. Sara Del Rey d. El Generico (14:18 ~ Piledriver)
Return date is 11/10/12 at Logan Square Auditorium. Not sure if that's the best idea. If the 400 or so show up to LSA, there may not be enough room to fit everybody. I'd like to know the official draw, but if 400 paid at $25 per ticket, that = $10,000 gate. Not too shabby.
Dr. Keith did show up, had to go to the hospital with his wife giving birth, so congrats to him.

I'm sure a good number of people came due to the doubleheader aspect, when they wouldn't have come for either show running seperately.
I thought it was closer to 500, but also keep in mind they were selling combo tickets for $5 off each ticket.

Sounded like a great show. CHIKARA always puts on a good product.

But not good enough for anchov to attend, of course. And not good enough for Howie to put down his Hardees breakfast sandwich to attend any show.

You two need to get a room, or something.

for those of us that WERE there, it was an awesome experience to see live. got my sign stolen by Arik Cannon (PBR is NOT PG), matches were great, atmosphere was fun as hell, and I was glad to be there. Only gripe is their damn ring announcer, Gavin Loudspeaker. I'm sorry, but I'm there for the wrestling, not to listen to him babble on constantly for minutes at a time. me and a buddy kept yelling the same thing throughout the show... GET ON WITH IT! other than that, I'm definitely looking forward to trying to see them in the future.
