Grapple fans rejoice! It is time for “The Johnny Kidd Invitational” yet again! 8 of the fiercest grapplers meet, and only 1 will walk away with the JKI2018 ring and 3 points. The “Johnny Kidd Invitational” kicks-off at 3:00pm EST and will be live-streamed to CHIKARAtopia.com!

The “Resilient Rookie” Green Ant will go hold for hold with Colt Cabana! This will be Cabana’s first time in a CHIKARA ring since “Tag World Grand Prix 2013”. Since that time, he has continued to travel the world and hone his craft. His opponent is significantly less experienced but has resilience that rivals legends. This first-time, opening round contest at “The Johnny Kidd Invitational” will be one to watch! 

Also in Opening Round competition, Ophidian takes on Solo Darling! “”The Master of Snake Style” looks to show the superiority of his unique brand of wrestling. However, Solo has been working hard to master just one very effective maneuver, the Sharp Stinger. Will our snake sink his fangs into Solo, or will he get stung? Find out June 9th!

The Beast Warriors look to topple the Legion of Rot, next Saturday! The newly formed duo of Oleg the Usurper and the Boar of Moldova have gotten off to a bit of a rocky start as a tag team, but with a victory over current campeonatos de parejas, The Closers, things are looking up. The Legion of Rot have been mainstays of destruction in CHIKARA for some time now, and this hurdle will not be passed easily. Will the Beast Warriors overcome and continue to success or fall to just another victim of destruction at “The Johnny Kidd Invitational”?

8 of the best grapplers converge on The Wrestle Factory next Saturday!
