Chikara (2007-2011)

Die Bruderschaft des Kreuzes

At Chikara's Season eight finale titled 'Three Fisted Tales' following the conclusion of the main event between The Colony (Fire Ant and Soldier Ant) and The Osirian Portal (Amasis and Ophidian), two masked men came from the crowd. Tursas pushed the barrier down and walked into the ring until all the Chikara roster came out to the ring. Not long after, Ultramantis Black demanded they identify themselves; one of them was Ares and the other was Tursas. After this the members of BDK attacked the rest of the Chikara roster. At the end Ares and Tursas along with the rest of BDK stood in the ring and Ares ordered Vokoder and Pink Ant to unmask themselves; they were revealed as Tim Donst and Pinkie Sanchez respectively. After this all BDK members performed the Cross and Tursas turned off the lights at the end of the show. Over the next three years, Tursas competed in different matches with BDK and won (2010) with Ares and Claudio Castagnoli. He began working in a minor role, making signs and writing messages. In 2011 Chikara announced Tursas profile had been removed, thus ending his time in the BDK.
