CHIKARA's mighty round robin tournament, "The 12 Large: Summit," is set
to begin on May 21st in Easton, PA. However, before the tournament can
even begin, change is afoot! The funky pharoah Amasis (of The Osirian
Portal,) suffered severe injuries in a non-wrestling accident, and will
be off the active roster indefinitely. There is currently no timetable
for his return, and the full extent of the injuries to his neck and
spine will not be known for a little while longer.
How this
affects Block A of the round robin is currently unknown, but an official
word from acting Director of Fun Wink Vavasseur is expected in the next
few days. As you can imagine, Amasis' scheduled matches and upcoming
appearances are being canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this
presents to our fans.
From Wikipedia:
On April 21, Amasis was named one of twelve participants in the tournament to determine first ever Chikara singles champion.[51]
However, on May 11 it was announced that Amasis had suffered "severe
injuries in a non-wrestling accident" that would sideline him
indefinitely and force him out of the tournament.[52] On June 23 it was announced that Amasis had been forced to retire from professional wrestling due to his injuries.
This news is old, but he retired a few days ago
