Endless Mike posted:So I guess I'm going to King of Trios. Please summarize the last 15 seasons of Chikara. TIA. All right. So Chikara started up in 2002 because Mike Quackenbush and some other guys decided to start their own wrestling school and figured they might as well have a show to perform in. For the first few years, it was nothing too special and had some fairly basic storylines and gimmicks. Probably the biggest thing to happen was a stable war against a group called Sweet 'n' Sour Incorporated. Two annual events started up early on. One was the Young Lions Cup, a tournament for younger wrestlers. The winner gets a trophy, which can be defended as a title until the next tournament. Once you lose or give up the title, you can never compete for it again. The other staple is Cibernetico, an annual 16-man elimination tag match where the survivors have to face off against each other until there's only one winner. In terms of early mainstays who are still involved today... Mike Quackenbush: Vanilla and dorky guy who is really good at wrestling. Head writer. Kayfabe trainer, at least to all the faces. UltraMantis Black: Originally an Ultra Man parody, he turned heel and became something of a cartoon supervillain. As the years went on, he became less and less of a threat, but the fans increasingly cheered him as a face. Hallowicked: The first Young Lions Cup winner. A jack-o-lantern guy who originally spoke in backwards jibberish. Really great wrestler. For a while, he was UltraMantis' partner until Mantis got injured, Hallowicked was thrown into a tag team with Delirious and Hallowicked turned face. Since nearly the beginning, he and UltraMantis have almost always been connected in one story or another. Icarus: Originally a face, Icarus was in a tag team called FIST (Friends In Similar Tights), which turned heel and later became a trio. Due to his terrible back tattoo, the fact that he's nothing phenomenal in the ring and simply good heeling, Icarus spent years as the most hated man in the company. Eddie Kingston: A violent tank of a brawler who sticks out like a sore thumb in Chikara's atmosphere. He's like if Attitude Era Steve Austin showed up in late-80's WWF. Leonard F. Chikarason: The Director of Fun of Chikara. The GM, who is second in command to Commissioner Bob Saget. The payoff to this joke was that Bob Saget actually did show up in a pre-taped segment to announce a match at one point. Then there's Blind Rage, I guess, but nobody cares about him so he's not worth talking about. In 2005, they introduced Tag World Grand Prix, a big multi-day tag tournament featuring people from other promotions and countries. The first year was won by Claudio Castagnoli (Cesaro) and Arik Cannon after Chris Hero turned on his partner Quackenbush and joined the winners as the Kings of Wrestling. In 2006, they did a second tournament where they crowned tag champs (Campeones de Parejas). This time, the team of Hero and Claudio won. They held onto the belts until the end of the year because Claudio briefly got signed with WWE before being let go. They dropped the titles to FIST, who were their proteges and fellow Kings of Wrestling members. Claudio came back in early 2007 to wage war on the Kings of Wrestling as a tweener, but lost a match against Hero where he had to rejoin the team. 2007 brought us the first King of Trios, which was the same basic idea as Tag World, but six-man tags. Since then, Tag World has shown up every once and a while, but is a second/third-string tournament that nobody ever cares about. The first King of Trios was won by Quack and his two students Jigsaw and Shane Storm. Hero had ducked Quack in having a one-on-one match for a couple years until becoming so high on his own success that he challenged him. The two were too well-versed in each other until Quack pulled out a new move called the Chikara Special, which is this complicated submission hold. Hero tapped out and Quack started teaching it to every face. Several storylines were centered around the move and to this day it's considered a big deal, usually winning important and high-profile matches. The Kings of Wrestling became two stables for a little bit. One run by Hero and one run by Icarus. Eventually, they came back together as a team of eight, but Claudio broke free and destroyed them on his own. This included defeating Hero and sending him out of Chikara for good. Before leaving the company, Hero won a Hair vs. Mask match against luchador Equinox, revealing him to just be a white guy named Vin Gerard. Gerard was a Wrestle Factory washout who made up a fake luchador identity to get himself booked. Gerard became a pariah, always entering to compete from outside instead of backstage. In 2008, he ran roughshod over Chikara as leader of the trio the UnStable, made of guys who pissed off the locker room in one way or another. He got his comeuppance at the hands of Jimmy Olsen, who took up the mantle of Equinox as a way to mess with Gerard. 2009 had a bunch of minor storylines going on, but one of the crazier ones was UltraMantis and his henchman Crossbones trying to find a new third partner. They got their hands on this magical artifact called the Eye of Tyr that gives you mind control powers. He used it to steal Delirious away from Hallowicked and Hallowicked's scarecrow sidekick Frightmare, making Delirious his braindead slave. All the while, this mysterious masked man would put up these videos warning UltraMantis that war was coming. All the different storylines merged together and 2009's final segment showed the rise of the BDK (Bruderschaft des Kreuzes), an nWo-type of team headed by Claudio Castagnoli and mostly made up of people pissed off at the company. They stole the Eye of Tyr from UltraMantis and therefore had the mind-controlled Delirious on their side. Over 2010, they completely dominated Chikara, winning all the titles, winning King of Trios and rarely ever losing in general. They even had a new Director of Fun named Dieter VonSteigerwalt take over, obviously in their pocket, not to mention their own evil referee. Over time, Chikara's roster was able to mostly put aside their differences to give the BDK some major losses, such as taking away their titles and beating them at Cibernetico. During 2010, the company was bought out by Worldwide Media Development Inc., who sent an auditor to look into the corruption in the company. As the BDK became more and more beatable, VonSteigerwalt was ousted and replaced by Wink Vavasseur. Wink is basically based on what Dixie Carter's like in real life. He's the son of the guy who owns the company. He's dimwitted and spiteful. He's enthusiastic about wrestling, but doesn't exactly understand it. One of his first acts was to finally give Chikara its own main singles title belt. A special round robin tournament happened throughout 2011, ending with Eddie Kingston defeating Quack in the finals to become the first Grand Champion. Also during 2011, the BDK mostly collapsed upon itself. As part of the BDK storyline, UltraMantis and Hallowicked became allies again in order to regain the Eye of Tyr and set Delirious free. They did at the end of the season, but Delirious shattered the artifact and ran off into the night, screaming, "I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!" I'll finish the rest later.

Gavok posted:I'll finish the rest later. I can pick up from there. 2012 saw another new heel group, the GEKIDO, invade, comprised of five guys doing evil versions of five Chikara top faces-- 17 (evil Quack), The Shard (evil Jigsaw), and The Swarm (evil Colony). It was eventually revealed that the Swarm were Wrestle Factory students that had dropped out because they didn't feel they needed to pay their dues, and The Shard was a former classmate of Kingston and Jigsaw who didn't follow them to the Wrestle Factory when they got kicked out of their old wrestling school. 17 was some nobody that had trained under the same men as Quack, just never at the same time. All of them were just jealous of the success that Quack/Jig/Colony had had and felt it should have been theirs. Quack got more and more pissed off about their total disrespect for Chikara and started trying to end their careers-- he dropped 17 on his head multiple times with his QuackenDriver finishers, and cranked CombatANT's neck so bad that he's never wrestled since. Jigsaw got upset with Quack's bloodlust, tried to speak up in GEKIDO's defense, arguing they just needed proper guidance. It seemed like Quack might actually be turning heel-- but LOLNOPE, Jigsaw turned heel instead and teamed up with The Shard and became even more of a glory hound than before. Meanwhile, Wink Vavasseur, the new incompetent Director of Fun, instituted a bizarre and incomprehensible "Chikarabermetrics" system to create new tag teams and trios, breaking up the Colony and the Swarm and mixing up their members (Swarm member AssailANT was sent to join the Colony, while Colony member Soldier Ant was sent to join the Swarm), former F.I.S.T. member Gran Akuma to form a trio with 3.0 (instead of their regular trio partner El Generico), and former Throwbacks member Sugar Dunkerton to F.I.S.T. No one was really happy with the new teams, although AssailANT gradually turned face as part of the Colony, and Sugar D's membership in F.I.S.T. sowed the seeds for Icarus' eventual face turn, while also leading to F.I.S.T.'s dissolution in the end. The start of 2013 saw the fans starting to turn on Eddie Kingston's interminable Grand Championship reign, as he'd been holding onto it for over a year. With GEKIDO and The Swarm effectively dead, Wink put Soldier Ant in command of a new group of ants, the Colony XTREME Force, but the corporate cash-in ants refused to obey his instructions and Soldier Ant tendered his resignation and dropped off the grid. More and more people started questioning Wink's leadership, getting him more and more frustrated, and it got meta as it even extended to the Chikara 101 fan forums as users' posts got censored or even deleted if they criticized Wink or mentioned Worldwide Media Development Corp.'s parent company, the Titor Conglomerate, or Titor's private army, Condor Security. This all culminated at "Aniversario: Never Compromise." Disgraced referee Derek Sabato hopped the barricade and briefly hijacked the show to tweet out a picture he'd received, allegedly showing Titor Conglomerate executives (including Wink's father Conrad) at a ground-breaking ceremony in Elohim, Oklahoma-- a haven for white supremacy groups. (The picture was very quickly proven to be Photoshopped.) Wink had security throw Sabato out and he made a panicked phone call to someone. Later, in the main event, as Icarus completed his face turn by challenging Eddie Kingston (himself cementing his heel turn) for the Grand Championship, Condor Security interrupted the match in the closing moments, dragging the wrestlers and referee to the back and then throwing everyone out of the building while tearing down the set. The next day, all future Chikara events were cancelled, and the company was shut down by WMDCorp/Titor. Most Chikara wrestlers started finding work elsewhere, such as the "Wrestling Is" companies that had sprung up in the preceding year (Wrestling Is Fun, Cool, Heart, Intense, Art, Respect, Awesome), but Icarus refused to let the company die that way and started a grassroots movement, staging rallies to get the fans to keep the faith alive, while his attempts to get backup from the other wrestlers mostly failed. In the autumn of 2013, the ghosts of rudos past started resurfacing and shutting down the Wrestling Is companies-- GEKIDO held Intense hostage and forced it to close, Dr. Cube's Posse stole Awesome's title belt and gate money and drove it into bankruptcy, 'Kizarny' Sinn Bodhi's Odditorium used the Eye of Tyr to make Art's owner sell him the company, and the rudos bought Sidney Bakabella's Wrecking Crew's help to destroy Respect. At National Pro Wrestling Day 2014, all the rudos-- collectively called The Flood, and led by Jimmy Jacobs-- attacked en masse, briefly defied by Icarus and a handful of tecnicos that had come to his aid, before it was revealed that Dr. Cube's hooded minions were the entirety of the Chikara roster, who fought them off and sent them packing. Icarus then announced that Chikara was coming back on May 25, Chikara's anniversary. Chikara had been kayfabe purchased by Robbie Ellis, who put Mike Quackenbush (retired due to a leg injury) in charge as the Director of Fun. At the return show, "You Only Live Twice," The Flood revealed that Jimmy Jacobs was not the top leader, as Deucalion-- a big Bane expy-- arrived and promptly killed the goblin prince Kobald with a big Chokebreaker. 2014 dealt with Chikara's war on the Flood, as Deucalion killed wrestler after wrestler, even his own minions, while no-selling pretty much everything. The Flood had a vengeful Delirious on their side, as well as a brainwashed Soldier Ant. Eddie Kingston, who had lost the Grand Championship to Icarus at the return show, briefly joined the Flood after Jacobs said he could get "Her" (the title) back for Kingston, but that didn't last too long. Finally, at the season finale, Icarus challenged Deucalion to a steel cage match, where he exposed Deucalion as just a paper tiger, a big man with one real move in his arsenal, and tapped him to the Chikara Special. When Deucalion demanded the Flood come out to punish Chikara for his loss, Jacobs held them back long enough for Icarus to lift the Hammer of Peace (a Mjolnir-like hammer wielded by the Estonian ThunderFrog, who'd been killed by Deucalion earlier in the year) and bring it down on Deucalion's head from the top of the cage, killing the monster. At the same show, Delirious got his revenge on UltraMantis Black. Though Delirious had lost a 'Loser Leaves Chikara' match, he used the Eye of Tyr on Hallowicked and Frightmare, breaking up their team with Mantis, and causing them to now serve some eldritch entity called Nazmaldun. 2015's major storyline was the Challenge of the Immortals double round robin tournament. The winners would get a "golden opportunity," basically a Money In The Bank-style title shot. Due to the draft system used to make the teams, it caused some breakups and shakeups in the roster. In the end, the Wrecking Crew dominated their way to first place in the rankings, while the underdog team of the Crown & Court started out with several losses before working their way to third place, and then second place by default when the second place team, Dasher's Dugout, withdrew following revelations of cheating by one of their members. At the season finale, Crown & Court overcame the Wrecking Crew to win the COTI tournament. The team captain, Princess KimberLee, immediately used her golden opportunity later that night to win the Grand Championship. So far in 2016, we're still dealing with some COTI fallout. Some teams are still teaming with one another, and the Wrecking Crew has broken up, with Jaka drawn away and joining Jakob Hammermeier's BDK, and Max Smashmaster getting fired after assaulting KimberLee, some refs, and Mike Quackenbush. Hallowicked stole the Eye of Tyr from Jakob and recently used it on UltraMantis Black, apparently causing him to become possessed by Nazmaldun. There's also stuff involving time travel, but that's not yet relevant to anything going on. This is all as barebones as I can make it. Any specific questions, ask 'em, and Gavok or I can provide more details.

Just realized that the "show" Blaster got suspended from is the free show at the Reading Phillies game. Basically, I doubt anyone on that show after the game is getting paid anyway, so this might be a giant PR stunt by CHIKARA to appease a few people without actually costing anyone money or anything. Also, Blaster said he's losing HUNDREDS (in all caps in his tweet) because of this. Anyone who knows anything about CHIKARA knows no one makes that kind of money from a single show unless you're outside talent at KOT or something.

Considering the angle with Smashmaster being fired for attacking Quack and the news that Flex has a shoulder injury, I wouldn't doubt that Blaster's just playing poo poo up and that he's not actually suspended. If Chikara didn't really do anything about the Batiri (who joked about the whole Dark Knight Rises movie theater shoot-up after it happened), I doubt Blaster would get punished. Anyway, to go with that Chikara summary, here's the shitload of ant-based wrestlers explained: Fire Ant: Founding member of the Colony, showing up at the 2006 Tag World Grand Prix. Rarely ever talks but is constantly pumped up. Soldier Ant: The other founding member. Only speaks in short military quotes, like "SIR, YES SIR!" and "TEN HUT!" In 2012, he was forced out of the team by management and hated his situation enough that he quit Chikara. Although the other Colony members tried to find him for a while, there was no sign of him. He returned as part of the Flood, brainwashed and nigh-unbeatable, likely from the Eye of Tyr. Fire Ant eventually got through to him and he rejoined the team. Worker Ant: Brought in in late 2006 as the third member. His gimmick is that he's an indie worker, constantly using limp handshakes to greet fans, wearing a fannypack and wheeling a bag with him. Retired in early 2009. Green Ant/Silver Ant: Replacing Worker Ant, Green Ant grew to become a submission specialist. After several years, he changed his name to Silver Ant because he was no longer a rookie. He briefly became brainwashed into being one of Hallowicked's henchmen, but he snapped out of it over time. Carpenter Ant/Pink Ant: A Chikara comic showed that in the future, there would be a wrestler named Carpenter Ant. When Carpenter Ant appeared in real life to help out the Colony, everyone thought that made all the sense in the world because Chikara. Then he became more and more of an rear end over time and soon joined the BDK. He was revealed to be Chikara regular Pinkie Sanchez, who went insane over failing to find teammates who respected him. Laughing at everyone for falling for his Carpenter Ant ruse, he spent a while with the mocking persona Pink Ant. combatANT: One of the members of Gekido. Long before they showed up, Quack would namedrop three terrible Wrestle Factory washouts named "Jose and the two Franks." As it turns out, those guys became the Swarm. combatANT had his neck snapped by Quackenbush at King of Trios 2012. He showed up a couple years later as a member of the Flood, but was still in a neckbrace and never actually wrestled. He just kind of faded away. deviANT: A fellow Swarm/Gekido member, he lasted long enough to lead the Colony EXTREME Force and join the Flood, but Deucalion didn't approve of him losing a big tag match and murdered him. assailANT/Worker Ant II: As part of the Chikarametrics angle, Swarm member assailANT was forced into the Colony. He actually wanted to be liked by the crowd, so he tried his best to play along with the teammates who hated him. Publicly, they acted like they accepted him over time, but Fire Ant admitted in secret that they still didn't trust him. That changed when assailANT refused to join up with the Flood and stood with Chikara. Afterwards, they gave him Worker Ant's old gear and had him take up the mantle. Missile Assault Ant: With so many ants around, Wink Vavasseur tried to franchise the concept and created the Colony EXTREME Force, presumably made out of Condor Security goons. Missile Assault Ant was seen as the leader, considering he got to be in more matches by far and he was actually noticeably better than the other two. His gimmick was that he'd scream his name constantly to the point that it went from a fun catchphrase to genuinely annoying. After he split from his partners, he was taken in by Kevin Condron, who revealed to the world that MISSILE ASSAULT ANT BLEW UP A BUSLOAD OF CHILDREN IN ZIMBABWE under Deucalion's orders and now has PTSD. Since then, he's become Missile Assault Man. Orbit Adventure Ant: Another member of EXTREME Force, Orbit stopped appearing in Chikara for a while until last year's King of Trios, where he and Arctic Rescue Ant had a confrontation with Missile Assault Man. Condron wanted Missile Assault to kill him, but he refused. Instead, Condron took out Orbit Adventure Ant with Deucalion's fatal chokebreaker move. Arctic Rescue Ant: Is still around, but appears to be a bit lost with his partner dead. No idea what's going on with him.

That's a shame, since Condron had a good amount of potential in Chikara (if he is done, that is). I liked the initial "rookie bites off more than he can chew and seeks retribution" angle, and the "Snowflake" thing seems like it could have spun into something neat (maybe tie-in to Hallowicked's Nazmaldun stuff?), but maybe it's just not gonna happen. Chikara seems like they've been increasingly dropping plots/characters since their comeback. Dudes like Donst and Sugar Dunkerton have just vanished with no in-story explanation, which is pretty uncharacteristic for Chikara (unless I missed something). I'm still bummed that Donst's pseudo-Raven angle got dropped (obviously his health concerns were a factor, but still...).

Capsaicin posted:what are the chances Archie wins the infinity gauntlet? 88 second intervals and all, ya know. I would not be surprised if Archie has a significant role to play in the Infinite Gauntlet. The Countdown Showdown-- the last attempt Chikara had at doing a regular Rumble-style match-- was scheduled to happen at YLC IX, which Archie had maneuvered his way into the tournament, before the whole tournament got screwed up by a hurricane affecting travel, so they condensed the multi-night event into a single night, and scrapped the Showdown. When their next attempt at holding the Showdown later that year got screwed up by a blizzard, fans declared the Countdown Showdown "cursed" to cause problems whenever the match gets booked. YLC IX was also when Archie claimed his knowledge of the future started diverging from the Chikara Yearbook. That's the kind of inane detail that Quack would probably love and so naturally it's probably going to be related to what happens.

The Condron stuff doesn't appear to be fully done. He's still in character on Twitter and at the last show, Snow Troll showed up, acting all depressed and forgotten. Apparently, during intermission, fans found him outside drawing snowflakes on the street in chalk.BodyMassageMachine posted:Chikara seems like they've been increasingly dropping plots/characters since their comeback. Dudes like Donst and Sugar Dunkerton have just vanished with no in-story explanation, which is pretty uncharacteristic for Chikara (unless I missed something). No, they got written out. As part of the FIST breakup storyline that turned Icarus face, Sugar and Johnny Gargano both publicly quit. Sugar because Icarus wouldn't stop cheating on his behalf and Gargano because Icarus kept defending Sugar. Not the most memorable way for them to leave, but it at least explained why neither cared about what was going on during the Ashes storyline. Donst lost his feud with Gavin Loudspeaker, thanks to Jakob finally turning on him. Donst was last seen in an Ashes video where he was depicted as being a highly-medicated furniture salesman who realized that he mistreated Jakob and was in no mental condition to fight for Chikara. Later, when Jakob returned as the new leader of the BDK, there's the suggestion that Donst's mental state is actually Jakob's doing via the Eye of Tyr. Donst said he'd be open to returning down the line, but that segment was meant to take him out of the promotion.

Shane Storm and Cheech?! Is there context to them coming back or is it just two random throwbacks in the gauntlet?

KungFu Grip posted:Shane Storm and Mike Quackenbush still have 3 points... Nah. When Quack took over as Director of Fun, he said that all points were reset. In the end, the only thing to come out of that Chekov's gun was Stigma going, "Hey, I could get you a tag title shot against the BDK if you're up for it," and Quack went, "Nuts to that! I'm doing it the hard way with someone I trust!"
