context_page_description: Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur was a professional wrestling internet pay-per-view event produced by the Chikara promotion, that took place on June 2, 2012 at the Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and aired live on GoFightLive, with a pre-show airing live on Ustream. The event marked Chikara's second pay-per-view, following previous November's High Noon. This was the third year in which Chikara promoted a summer event under the Chikarasaurus Rex banner, with the original Chikarasaurus Rex: King of Show having taken place July 25, 2010, and the Chikarasaurus Rex: King of Sequel weekend on July 30 and 31, 2011. The event was released on DVD and downloadable MP4 by Smart Mark Video on June 4, 2012.
context_section_description: Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur featured seven professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that played out on Chikara's monthly house shows and on blog entries written on the promotion's official website. Wrestlers portray villains (rudos in Chikara) or heroes (tecnicos in Chikara) as they follow a series of events that build tension, and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Chikara follows lucha libre traditions and is known for its colorful characters and gimmicks and family-friendly content.
  The first match announced for the iPPV was between Ophidian and UltraMantis Black. After High Noon, where UltraMantis managed to regain the Eye of Tyr from Bruderschaft des Kreuzes, he used its supposed magical powers to free Delirious from its spell. After destroying the Eye of Tyr, Delirious ran away and was not seen for some time. He eventually made his return on February 25, attacking UltraMantis Black and costing him and Hallowicked their match with F.I.S.T. for the Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas. The following night, Delirious explained that he remembered everything that had happened to him during the past two years, when he was under the spell of the Eye of Tyr, first under UltraMantis Black and then under Bruderschaft des Kreuzes. As a revenge, Delirious promised to make UltraMantis suffer for the next two years, culminating in the end of his career in 2014. Meanwhile, Ophidian, who turned rudo at High Noon, started 2012 with a win streak over the likes of Hieracon, Green Ant and Archibald Peck. On March 25, Ophidian attacked UltraMantis Black, while he was distracted by Delirious, and stole his staff. Ophidian and UltraMantis Black faced each other in a singles match on April 14, with Ophidian picking up the win, after blinding his opponent with a black mist. Following the event, a rematch between the two was announced for Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur. On June 1, Delirious announced that while on May 20 he had adopted UltraMantis Black's strategy of "selfish gain at the expense of others" by teaming with Jakob Hammermeier and Tim Donst to get his revenge, at Chikarasaurus Rex he was going to do the opposite and assist those in need, ending an unfair advantage and harnessing the true power of "those who are victim to discrimination".
  The first championship match announced for the iPPV would be contested for the Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas, and would pit defending champions, F.I.S.T. (Chuck Taylor and Johnny Gargano), against the challengers, The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson). After Taylor and stand-in partner Icarus lost the Campeonatos de Parejas to 3.0 (Scott Parker and Shane Matthews) on March 24, 2012, Taylor and Gargano came back at the following event on April 14, defeating the Bravado Brothers (Harlem and Lancelot), Jack Bonza and QT Marshall, and The S.A.T. (Joel Maximo and Wil Maximo) in a four-way elimination match, scoring all three eliminations and earning three points in one match. In Chikara, teams need three points, or three back-to-back wins, in order to be eligible to challenge for the promotion's tag team championship, the Campeonatos de Parejas. On April 29, F.I.S.T. defeated 3.0 to regain the title and become the first two-time champions. Meanwhile, The Young Bucks, who had previously been seen in Chikara on November 13, 2011, at High Noon, where they were defeated by The Colony (Fire Ant and Soldier Ant), losing their two points in the process, returned to Chikara on April 28, during a special weekend, where Chikara co-promoted events with Ring of Honor (ROH), one of The Young Bucks' home promotions. During the weekend, The Young Bucks first defeated Arik Cannon and Darin Corbin in a regular tag team match and then The Batiri (Kobald and Kodama), Bruderschaft des Kreuzes (Jakob Hammermeier and Tim Donst), and the Spectral Envoy (Hallowicked and UltraMantis Black) in a four-way elimination match, scoring two of the three eliminations, to earn three points. On May 4, Chikara
