What's with the pancakes being racist, is it the Aunt Jenima syrup thing or? Maybe it's a stereotype I'm not aware of, I thought it was just New Day's obsession with breakfast and dessert items.

I figured the whole thing was that they were doing a lumberjack match in Canada and they had pancakes to play that up, then decided, what the hell, pancakes are awesome so let's keep it going.

Though the Saudi Arabia thing was its own issue, Jericho did discover that despite first getting Vince's blessing to go do some New Japan dates, and despite actually talking to him at least once about ALL IN, Vince started seemingly holding it against him, no longer responding to messages or ideas he used to be open to, showing no interest in booking him for anything, and then having WWE tell him he wasn't allowed any WWE wrestlers on his podcast anymore etc. It seems to have gotten to the point where Jericho and WWE are basically cold towards each other though not really yet openly antagnostic (Jericho might be pushing more in that direction).

I also have to imagine spending over half a year building towards a big WrestleMania world title win, only for Brock to go, "Vince, make me champ instead and I'll job to Goldberg," would sting a lot. Especially considering he was shoved aside for two guys he famously does not like.

What was the storyline?

Ophidian, one of the Wrestle Factory trainers, went behind Quack's back and put together a Fight Club cult called the Crucible (an ends-justifies-the-means plan to protect Chikara from potential invading factions). After hours, he'd train these guys in brutal fashion and force them into underground fights with special rules. No ropes and no pins with a 2-3 minute time limit. You could only win by KO, ref stoppage, ring-out or submission. Before anyone knew what this was, "bootlegs" of the fights would appear on some YouTube channel, where it was filmed in mostly darkness and various trainees would be surrounding the ring, slapping the mat. Then cinematic episodes of something called "Heralds and Harbingers" would pop up online or after Chikara and Beyond shows about certain guys who got wrapped up in the whole thing.

Eventually, Quack found out what was going on and it turned into your usual Chikara vs. invaders angle. No-rope Crucible matches became a regular thing.

Throughout Raw on Twitter, a lot of former Chikara guys have been all, "WOW, this is blatant."

I would honestly buy an explanation that someone got the idea from playing Mortal Kombat or watching Bloodsport (the movie) over "WWE stole an angle from Chikara that had no buzz and nobody really knows about"

But the thing is, WWE does know about it. Chikara filmed a handful of shows for the WWE Network with a bunch of Crucible stuff in it. WWE made them an offer that they didn't like and things fell through.

Next thing you know, Alanis Morrisette releases a single called "Stinky Britches" and Chef is left with-- sorry, getting my stories mixed up.

I'm the guy doing flippy poo poo in a 'shoot' match

To be fair, the context is that this is long after the whole secret fight club thing had been exposed. At this point it's the Crucible challenging Chikara guys to matches under their rules, so having a guy trying to do flippy poo poo makes sense.

Nut Bunnies posted:

Oooooooh my well that does change things. It’s still a very dumb thing no matter what but yeah they probably swiped the dumb thing to make their dumb thing

Yeah, let it be said that the Crucible story was for the most part hot garbage. I feel bad for Faraday, but for a guy who had such a huge role in making the angle happen, he really did not make himself look good in it. The only guys who came out of it getting over were the Crucible students and Whisper, the Crucible member who eventually turned face on the team. The faces came off as washout tattle-tale dorks.

Ms. Marvel's comic sold 13,116 copies in January. Even the best selling comics (which are typically re-launched #1s and poo poo) strain to sell even 6 figures a month and rapidly plummet, causing them to relaunch over and over. Ms. Marvel has certainly sold a fair amount of graphic novels (even though Scholastic and book fairs) so I can see some younger folks being familiar with her, but also understand why most people would think she was made up. Marvel has done a lot of pushing the last 5 years making her more visible, but it's a very niche audience I guess Mr. Cage is not a part of.

Cage complaining about Ms. Marvel just makes me think of years back when people were annoyed that Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 threw in that obscure talking raccoon character that Marvel was supposedly about to make a space movie out of that was absolutely going to bomb.

And Triple H nodded along with that.

Remember how a bunch of former Chikara guys got mad that Raw Underground/Retribution (when it seemed like the angles were connected) was a poor man's knockoff of their poor man's storyline?

Matt Demorest was part of that Chikara angle in what was basically the spot T-Bar filled.
