— As previously reported, CHIKARA is set to return on May 25 with the “You Only Live Twice” show. The promotion was bought at an auction by Robbie Ellis and revived in February at the National Pro Wrestling Day event. Before that weekend, the film The Ashes of CHIKARA will premiere at a screening on May 5th in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. The screening begins at 8 PM at the Movie Tavern and will include a Q&A with the film’s creators after the screening.
