This combines CHIKARA's first two events, both held at the original CHIKARA Wrestle Factory in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on, respectively, May 25 and May 31, 2002. The events were originally released separately on VHS in 2002 with no commentary and instead had pop-ups explaining the rules and providing other details. This version has commentary by Mike Quackenbush (Mike Spillane) and Bryce Remsburg.
The first show features the in-ring debuts of Dragonfly, Mister Zero (Bradley Fry), Hallowicked (Robert Goodwin), UltraMantis (later UltraMantis Black), Ichabod Slayne (later Icarus) (Ronald Grams) and Zane Madrox. The first five were the first class of graduates from the CHIKARA Wrestle Factory, and Madrox had been sent to them by Ace Darling (Mike Maraldo) from his Devastation U. school in New Jersey. Darling was Mike Quackenbush's original trainer, and Quackenbush is the main trainer at the CHIKARA Wrestle Factory.
Mike Quackenbush notes on commentary that Mister Zero's original mask was bought at the last minute at a costume shop.
Bryce Remsburg was still training to be a referee and was made the ring announcer at the last minute.
