Man, Hallowicked and Ophidian have been with Chikara for so long. That's pretty drat impressive. I hope they have successful side gigs.

Back when I was super into Chikara I remember someone saying that Hero said in that super long shoot video that Hallowicked doesn't branch out because it's a hobby for him and he's doing well.

I believe UMB is a librarian, aside from his band under the same name.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I thought Ultramantis was supposed to be some minor league baseball player whose identity and photos would be out there so his name was some super guarded thing.

But maybe that was just Quackenbush/Chikara fan nonsense.

I like his band. But I've never seen his name online, and I found Super Dragon's name online pretty easily.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
if i were running beyond i would simply have the wrestler who is currently the ace wear a hat that says "top dawg" on it. other wrestlers would come out and say "david starr i am the true top dawg of beyond wrestling" or whatever and then the victor of that match would show up to the next show wearing a big stupid baseball cap that says "top dawg"

this started as a joke but i'd love a fed that replaced belts with stupid hats.

The only true prize for being the Ace is a Tanahashi T-shirt but nobody will be able to win it because even on the indies in a small building there is only one Ace and it is Tanahashi

I think the only reason Beyond has monogrammed turnbuckle pads is because a fan bought them as a gift.

I think Ultramantis also sells/sold used mid-century modern furniture with one of the guys from Pissed Jeans. I bought some tables from them a few years back and they gave me a hell of a deal. Not sure if he's still involved or not now, though.

Not sure if he was Mr Zero, but the guy is Bradley Fry. I think he was also in the band The Ultimate Warriors who have a great song about why Bull Nakano is the best and Madusa should be burned.

jeeeesus christ im watching the teddy hart poppin dogs and talkin hogs and god i've been in this situation so many times, at some guy's house who is oddly popular, and insists that everything is cool but you still feel like this guy could possibly snap at any moment, and you're just waiting until you can leave. and he just keeps telling worse and worse and worse stories and you just try to avoid saying anything just to keep from rocking the boat. like, chuck says maybe 20 words during the entire interview and looks so uncomfortable, and im right there with him. ive been at those gatherings hosted by dudes who have some sort of issues, and where the party seems like kind of a captive situation.

Aye. A few years ago I saw a message board post that figured out who he was.

Larry Sweeney's 'shoot' FB page had 5 guys listed as brothers, one of whom didn't appear to have any pics.
That guy's name matched the name of a guy who worked at Lehigh University (where part of the Ashes series was filmed - and I believe Quack has admitted as part of a previous angle that 'wrestler x even showed up at UMB's workplace'), had a birthdate that was in the right time frame, and previously went by the name 'Yuletide' online (check the tattoos).

Then it got super-weird as someone found his marriage date, which matched the date UMB tweeted something along the lines of "Alright UMB, don't screw this up"

All the evidence points to it being him.

Yeah any interview with Teddy Hart, especially ones where there’s more than one person involved, just remind me of hanging out with the one dude who’s kind of attached to your friend group but you’re making eye contact with the other guys with eyebrows raised like “what the gently caress is happening” while he’s ranting but you stay chill because he might go after your throat with his teeth

Even the trailer for Teddy's episode plays up the "We don't know what's going to happen next!" aspect and it's a rare instance of that actually being followed through on, I kept worrying every time they laughed we'd have a Joe Pesci Goodfellas situation.

It was viewed in PSP and we had fun but it's the most uncomfortable thing I remember watching in there, at least the girls in Scott Steiner's workout video probably wanted to be there.

3-4 years ago on a podcast Dave Prazak said SHIMMER never broke even. Lots of cross-country and international flights involved in their shows.

Beyond Wrestling wise I've heard endless "this is the last show unless it draws" talk over the years. But intermittent hot runs/exciting new talent sustained it.

Thorne and DC being drunk as gently caress and talking about the horrors of promoting while trying to sell Beyond to Ron Funches instead of calling a match kinda sums up the state of indie wrestling.
