Shpadoinkel Mania VII Madness

The upcoming Kaiju Big Battel in Philadelphia is no ordinary Big Battel, it is a Shpadoinkel Mania - the paragon of live monster mayhem. For almost two decades, Shpadoinkel Mania has stood for everything dear to the Kaiju Universe: hot, cold-blooded, monster-on-monster action, wanton destruction, the rise and fall of Kaiju Champions, and special limited-edition shirts and prints. So it is no surprise that the Kaiju Commissioner is thrilled to announce that Shpadoinkel Mania VII will take place at the Trocadero in Philadelphia on Sunday, June 1st. Tickets are going fast for this intimate venue, so get yours now at Ticketmaster or the Trocadero Box Office.

What: Kaiju Big Battel with special guest Chris Hero
Musical Guest: Harry and the Potters and DJ Clashious Clay
Where: The Trocadero, 1003 Arch St. Philadelphia, PA 19107
When: Sunday June 1st, Doors 3:00PM. 4:00PM Show.
Tickets: $19.50. Ticketmaster and the Trocadero Box Office. All Ages.

Schedule of events for Shpadoinkel Mania VII at the Trocadero:

FIGHTO 1 - Pedro Plantain vs The Grudyin
Revenge Fighto of Brotherly Love
It wasn't too long ago that Pedro and Pablo Plantain were the two most beloved stars in the Kaiju Big Battel Universe, but the last few years haven't been kind to Los Plantanos. Pablo was murdered and turned into a zombie by the evil Dr. Cube, and Pedro lost his Hero license in his quest for revenge. That quest continues at Shpadoinkel Mania VII against The Grudyin, as Pedro won't rest until each and every member of Cube's Posse pays the price for his undead brother. Will the sinister Grudyin be able to end Pedro's road to revenge?

FIGHTO 2 - Sun Buster vs Vegetius
Buster and the Beast
Sun Buster's ascension to the ranks of Kaiju Hero was difficult, and his current tenure hasn't been much easier, as the Heroic Steam-Powered Tentacle Boulder continually overshadows the ambitious Sun Buster both within and outside the Kaiju Big Ring! Sun Buster hopes to change all that at Shpadoinkel Mania VII, as the Kaiju Commissioner has arranged a special exhibition match pitting Buster against the wild beast known as Vegetius. A win by Sun Buster could put his name in the Big Battel headlines, but if he's not careful, Vegetius will bury Buster in the Kaiju Graveyard!

FIGHTO 3 - Hero Intern '08 vs Tucor
Toucan Training Tussle of Much Importance
After having his guitar stolen by Dr. Cube and recovering it at last month's New & Improved Boston Massacre Battel, the Hero Intern '08 wants revenge on the despicable doctor. But Cube is not so generous, and has instead sent his half-toucan, half-gerbil abomination Tucor to take on the rockin' rookie. Kaiju Hero Dusto Bunny almost lost his foot at the hands (or saw) of Tucor last month, and has decided to join the Intern at ringside to support his protege, not to mention prevent any extracurricular activity by Cube's Posse.

FIGHTO 4 - Chris Hero vs American Beetle
Ultimate Hero vs Hero Showdown
Since his uninvited arrival in Kaiju earlier this year, professional human wrestler Chris Hero has run roughshod over the Kaiju Hero ranks. Robox, Tadd Braddley Hawaiian Paddler, Dusto Bunny, and Super Wrong have all fallen victim to Chris Hero. In an effort to squash this feud, the Kaiju Commissioner has granted Chris Hero a fighto against the opponent of his choice. Kaiju Hero American Beetle will represent not only the Kaiju Heroes but all the good guys across our fair land. Can American Beetle defeat Chris Hero and raise the flag of victory for the entire free world?

FIGHTO 5 - Neo Teppen vs Uchu Chu
Kaiju Grand Championship Match
Kaiju Hero Neo Teppen defeated Call-Me-Kevin for the championship last month in Boston, and some feel it was a long time coming for the superhero with 27 secret powers. Still, at the same Battel, we saw Uchu Chu the Space Bug defeat both French Toast and Powa Ranjuru to retain his Le European Championship Title. The Space Bug has now set his sights on Teppen's Kaiju Championship Belt. Hold on to your helmets, Battel fans; this is going to be a once in a lifetime, intergalactic, planetary pow-wow, beat-em up for the Kaiju history books.
