We've got a big shipment of replica masks and new shirts - for guys and gals - coming in this week as we roll toward our Williamsport (Mar. 12) and Brooklyn (Mar. 13) events! But we are out of storage space and need to move some inventory before the UPS guy shows up here on Monday with the new stuff!
So, if you order any CHIKARA t-shirt this weekend, we'll pack an extra shirt (you tell us what size!) in the order for you! Buy 2 shirts, we'll give you 2 shirts. Yeah, we're that awesome. But this offer is only good until Sunday night!

Former TNA Tag Team Champion Hamada has been added to the Shimmer DVD Tapings in Berwyn, IL on 3/26 and 3/27.

For the past two weeks it has been rumored on the internet and other sources that WWWF champion Superstar Billy Graham was going to make yet another personal appearance for PMS at the HUGE LOTR upcoming convention this May in Jamesburg, NJ.
Please note that this information in INACCURATE, and as Billy's agent and personal friend for 38 years I have spoken with not only him daily, but hours ago with Dr, Hector Rodriquez, the liver specialist from the Mayo Clinic who is Superstar's doctor of record. Dr Rodriquez does not like or approve of Graham flying across the United States at 35,000 feet due to a real possibility of what he termed as "Bleeding Esophageal Varice", or simply put a vein that is ready to and can rupture. This issue has been caused by Graham's 9 year ago transplanted liver along with complications of an enlarged spleen, symptoms that are not unusual 9 years after a liver transplant.
