WARTS #3

[wildfire]

This one turned into the anti-American edition! Lots of firsts, too!

Sara Del Rey def. Hallowicked** (Spike Piledriver)
Sara's the first woman (and probably the only woman, since she and Daizee are the only ones in the pile) to get WARTS. Hallowicked is the 1st returnee to lose in the 1st round the 2nd time out.

Fritz Von Goering*** def. Frank Gotch******* (Flying Elbow Drop)
I thought for sure when Gotch came up, he was in line for a dynastic run, but instead he can't get out of the 1st round. By far the longest WARTS match so far. Von Goering seemed to pull out some dirty trick or another every time Gotch started to build momentum. And yes, that's 10 tokens total!

Iron Sheik def. Tom Pritchard (Camel Clutch)
Pritchard becomes the 1st guy to get chosen randomly a 2nd time, but gets totally squashed.

The Mountie* def. Hartford Love*** (Shock Stick X 2)
Love will be twitching for weeks! The Mountie is a bad man.

Semi-Finals
Sara Del Rey* def. Fritz Von Goering* (Royal Butterfly)
Del Rey is on fire!

Iron Sheik*** def. The Mountie* - (DQ - Shock Stick)
The Mountie tried to Shock his way to the finals, but finally got caught.

3rd Place
The Mountie def. Fritz Von Goering** (Short Choke Slam)
No Shock Stick this time... the Mountie shows he can wrestle, too.

Finals
Sara Del Rey** def. Iron Sheik*** (Royal Butterfly)
The Sheik promised to make the uppity female bow before him, but Del Rey only got more fired up! She powered out of the Camel Clutch and turned the match around.

Del Ray over Iron Sheik......WOW! Great run by Del Ray. Gotch should have ran this.

[jasonjaconetti]

Del Rey is truly the Queen!

[wildfire]

Del Rey actually has some pretty killer stats, Pin 2 and 2 (0) finishers.

I hadn't mixed the color Chikara cards with others before this...

I'm seeing now that they're definitely rated to be their own set (ala Trav's Memphis or Ken's Mid-South) rather than for their 'place in history'

Incidently, like Hallowicked, Del Rey has better power and worse agility than Roderick Strong.

[holland227]

did you use the women vs. men conversion or does that not affect her (I never bought that set)

[tystates]

The color Haze and Del Rey cards are setup to fight the men so no conversion chart is needed within the Chikara set.

[wildfire]

I did not use any conversion thingy. I assumed, as Ty said, they're meant to fight men, since they do so in Chikara.

I actually think that's really cool that Chikara doesn't make a big deal of that (unlike when WWE did it with Chyna and others)

That's also why I do have any of the other women's card in the pile.. since they would need something.. and I don't think I have that set either.

[markt]

Sara has two down-3 on level 2 defense that will usually hurt her. In this case they must not have, but you also had a night where Fritz Von Goering won clean over Frank Gotch. Go figure.

[wildfire]

She didn't go on defense much, so yeah, that wasn't a problem. Von Goering was a big upset ffor sure.... I was pretty surprised at that one... but it really wasn't even close... he took over and just never gave up control/
