For those who know the lay of the Chikara land, Sara del Rey and the Batiri have been engaged in a feud that has gone from social media to the ring and back. The Batiri had been promising something big dropping last night, and well, they delivered. At the official Chikara message board, they posted what was ostensibly del Rey's real name, phone number and address. Some people did some research and found that the number was an Indiana area code and the address wasn't jibing up with what was posted. They'd be stupid to post the real information, right? Well yeah.

That being said, the information was quickly taken down, and then their official Twitter account posted this tweet:

@chikarapro, it was nice working for you...

Cryptic. All of this would point the finger at the group being booted out of Chikara for their indiscretions, but at the risk of being that guy, well, yeah, this is all probably part of the story. Assuming that, then it's a bold step towards the edge for the family friendly company. Obviously, posting addresses for fans to contact and ostensibly harass is pretty hardcore. I don't think it's new, as some of the old Southern territories may have ventured into that level of personal attack, but I don't really ever remember places like Mid-South being billed as family friendly fun for everyone. I don't want to be that other guy who points out when companies have bolder material than their rating, and I'm not even sure that a little bit of "over the line" behavior would be bad for the promotion, per se.

That being said, it's still a pretty bold move, no matter who initiated it. Either way, it's kinda the ultimate heel move. del Rey has been harassed to the highest levels, and honestly? It makes me want to see her make chalices out of the Batiri's skulls. Even if this was all rogue action, it has really skipped up the intrigue level on this feud when in the opening stages of it, it was running a bit tepid for me.
