Wani and Frightmare have both been added to the Recent promos by Hallowicked have identified Kobald and Touchdown as "the worm" and "the wanderer" from his blog a while back, and states that "the betrayer" has yet to be brought into Nazmaldun's thrall. I'm guessing we'll get "the betrayer" identified at the August 21 show and then the HeXed Men team will be Icarus/Touchdown/whomever. Either Kimberlee or Heidi Lovelace will have 3 points by the end of the August 21 show, so we could see them cash in on Night 2 or 3, and Mustache Mountain is also sitting on 3 points, so they could cash in on the Campeones de Parejas on KOT weekend, too.

They don't have three points anymore. When Quack took over as Director of Fun after the hiatus, he reset the points to zero, starting from "You Only Live Twice," the return-from-hiatus show. Quack probably did that JUST to shut the door on the whole "Quack/Shane have three points" dangling plot thread, since Quack was retired and Shane was semi-retired.

Yeah, I thought for certain MM would instead say something like "We thought about making this into a 4-way, but we're patient men, and we will cash in when we're ready." Dev Corp wanting their shot I can understand, because they're big lunkheads that want the gold immediately if not sooner, but MM seemed smarter. But

I was having a conversation with someone earlier about this but I realise that you folk that still like the product would probably know better. Who was the weirdest fit for Chikara who worked for them? I mean acts that elsewhere absolutely did not fit the family entertainment vibe. I can think of Necro and the Blk Out as two that stand out as sore thumbs, but is there anyone else I'm forgetting?

My memory sucks, but the first ones that come to mind are Cheech and Cloudy. Also Necro going out there and wrestling as CP Munk (while it was probably a thousand degrees in that outfit) always endeared me to his appearences in Chikara. Now having Brain Damage come in for King of Trios seemed like a horrible idea at the time, and he was cursing up a storm after they lost their match at Trios.

SamuraiFoochs posted:Gonna need context here because it sounds great. Young Lions Cup VI weekend (2008), Sami was one of the YLC contenders. After he was eliminated, he was put into a trios match on Night 3, teaming with Steve 'The Turtle' Weiner and Ultimo Breakfast against F.I.S.T. (Icarus, Gran Akuma, Chuck Taylor). Breakfast would later pick up the Dasher Hatfield gimmick, but as Breakfast, his mask was styled as a toaster, complete with a piece of toasted bread sticking out the top of his head. At the start of the match, Callihan just randomly shouted out "Yeah, TOAST!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9HQQ3UusKU YLC VI Night 3 was a good all-around show. Some fun trios action in above match and the Fabulous Three (Mitch Ryder, Larry Sweeney, Shayne Hawke) against Da Soul Touchaz, a pre All-Ego Ethan Page taking on Donst, a smashmouth brawl between Drake Younger and Brodie Lee, the famous Super Smash Bros vs Incoherence match ("Princess Peach is a TRAMP!") and then the MOTYC YLC6 final between Fire Ant and Vin Gerard.

Brodie was kind of a mismatch too, in that he's this enormous gross trucker in a promotion full of short almost-luchadors. Otherwise, the biggest non-sequitur in Chikara is and continues to be Eddie Kingston.

CombineThresher posted:Brodie was kind of a mismatch too, in that he's this enormous gross trucker in a promotion full of short almost-luchadors. I see your point, but Brodie in Chikara gave us great moments, like Dasher Hatfield trying to get another "baseball game" going in mid-match, and Brodie being handed the "ball" as pitcher, only for Brodie to just wallop Dasher across the face. Or the cage match he had with Cesaro. Or seeing Brodie Lee kick the gently caress out of someone's face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEKdT12ORO0 I wish there was a clip of Brodie booting Grizzly Redwood's head drat near clean off his shoulders. It was hilarious.

I see Chikara's removed the clip of Kingston mauling a very green and fresh faced Donst. There's a point where Kingston open hand slaps Donst and either Donst is a great seller or Kingston walloped the gently caress out of him.

Donst isn't the smartest cat so I can imagine a conversation that went like this: Donst - "hay eddy let's work stiff tonight" King - "Kid you ain't ready for that" Donst - "no I good let's work stiff" King - "Your funeral" And then King murdered him dead.

New blog from Hallowicked.Hallowicked posted:Like weeds in an untended garden, the ranks of Nazmaldun's force run unchecked and are now in position to begin choking the life out of those that remain standing against us. We never dreamed it would be so easy, that we would be unopposed in building the fighting force that now threatens to dominate CHIKARA. What was done to stop us? They set the Grand Champion Princess KimberLee against me and she was dethroned by my own hand. They tried teaming her with Hedi Lovelace, a woman she can hardly stand next to in the ring without coming to blows. They struggled to bolster her ranks with N_R_G, men who are little more than strangers to her. They rallied the simpleton Ice Creams to her cause in a misguided attempt to correct course. They thought strengthening her with ranks with members of The Colony would finally stall us...and yet here we stand. The verbiage about the "secret weapon no one could possibly account for" suggests that 'The Betrayer,' the last of the HeXed Men to be recruited, will come forward on the day on Sunday. Some of the speculation is that Silver Ant could turn rudo again. And there's speculation now about "no one that yet lives" being a clue as to who might lead the fight against Nazmaldun, and that it's someone whose character was killed off making a return. Which means DeviANT, Orbit Adventure Ant, Latvian Proud Oak, The Shard, or one of the Greenhorns that Deucalion executed at KOT two years ago. But some are hoping it means Archibald Peck returns.

Some of the speculation is that Silver Ant could turn rudo again. That could work well to add more conflict in the Colony. Silver betrays and leaves, giving the Trios team an opening. Worker is asked to take his place, which would probably set him off even more. But taking Silver out of the equation means you get six ant-based wrestlers (Fire, Soldier, Worker, Pinkie, Missile Assault, Arctic Rescue) instead of seven, so the teams are more cut-and-dry.

KungFu Grip posted:Fire Ant? Yeah. Basically, one of the big matches at this Sunday's streaming show is a 14-man tag between Fire Ant's team and the Nazmaldun guys (Hallowicked, Frightmare, Touchdown, Icarus, Batiri). Obviously, Fire Ant is going to have Soldier, Silver and Worker with him, but that leaves three spots. Worker cut a promo online about how he's kind of fed up with the Colony and barely trusts them anymore, but whatever, he'll make the call. He makes hints about who might answer the call without naming names. Now Fire Ant's blog goes, "I know who Worker recruited for the match and it doesn't sit right with me, but I guess we're going to have to make this work. We're not doing this as brothers or friends, but as a team of ants."

CHIKARA really missed the boat by not having CombatANT unmask and reveal himself as Jon Zandig. I don't care there's a difference in size I hope Pinkie comes out in his Pink Ant gettup, it was probably one of my favorite CHIKARA gimmicks.
