And Thus, the 24/7 Championship Was Born

ESTONIA!

Chuck Taylor Sunday started posting some appetizers for SummerSlam to his Instagram and Vine accounts. After the Wrestling Is Heart shows in Indiana, several wrestlers got into the ring to crown their own, wrestler-sanctioned title called the 24/7 Championship. The decision was made via battle royale! Because I don't know how to embed Instagram video, the link to said battle royale is here. I guess since battle royales don't really have rules, the Estonian Thunder Frog winning with a hammer blow seems to be on the up and up. No one is taking that title from the Sailor from the White Ship of Peace, right?

Wrong.

The normally noble Green Ant may not fight for peace, but he surely fights for gold. One superkick and a suspiciously fast count on the hood of a car later, and the Colony has some hardware. Time for a celebratory meal at Steak and Shake, right?


No Steak and Shake, nerds! Finally, the hardware would be safe. Mr. Touchdown, Mark Angelosetti, as the last Young Lions Cup Champion ever, knows more than anyone how to protect a title. All he has to do is gas up his car for the ride home...



OH C'MON, A SQUEEGEE? The Proletarian Boar of Moldova sure knew how to pick his spot, although I need to know if Mr. Azerbaijan is really a licensed official. AS of right now, their whereabouts are unknown, per this report by the events' videographer, Taylor.
The real question remains... will the Boar show up at Wrestling Is Fun! on Saturday to defend the title? OR will he make a surprise debut at Wrestling Is Cool Sunday with the belt in tow? IS THIS TITLE PART OF THE CHIKARA TIME RIFT? I'm sorry for posing questions for which I have no answer. I guess all we have to do is keep following the buzz... err, I mean Chuck Taylor.
