Straight from Hormiga Verde's Twitter himself
Green Ant, the youngest member of The Colony, was the most major casuality from Chikara's Young Lions Cup, breaking his humerus (aka, the bone between your shoulder and elbow joints) in a match with Keita Yano on Night 3. I'm not sure how the injury happened - maybe someone in attendance can shed some light on how? - but it's a terrible injury nevertheless. Green Ant was really coming into his own this year as a worker and a lovable underdog character, despite being the Colony's resident job boy.
Get well soon!

i was there and was standing on the other side of the ring with my camera directly looking at them (i actually got a photo of the landing and ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IT BECAUSE IM A BIG IDIOT.)
ReplyDeletea lot of their match was submission wrestling. but towards the end they grappled their way up to the top rope and (i sadly don't remember the move) they both jumped off together (in a close embrace, like a hug) Keita landed on top of green ant...and green ant landed slightly sideways on his arm.
Keita went for the pin over a motionless green ant. bummer city, USA.
What happened to Hugh Morrus?
