This popped up in a tweet about these old The Holzerman screenshots.

Mike Quackenbush's Side of the Story

Quack puts his side out there
Photo Credit: Scott Finkelstein
So, I'm sure by now everyone knows about the accusations that Chris Hero laid at Mike Quackenbush's feet. I wrote about it at length, professing that I'm not sure I cared about what went on backstage, but there's one thing I didn't write that I should have and that I feel bad for not writing at first. We only have heard one side of the story. TWB superfan and wrestling aficionado of all companies regardless of shape or size Samantha Allen transcribed what Quack said on a recent episode of the Grizzly Bear Egg podcast:
In this 7 ½ hour exercise in narcissism, he (Hero) alleges that his departure had to do with conflicts pertaining to a Japanese Wrestling promotion known as Pro Wrestling NOAH. I’m sure people were taken in by this work of fiction. I want to make it clear that this is a bold-faced lie. If there was any truth to this whatsoever, why is it that this man would depart the company in light of this, but his partner (Claudio Castagnoli) who was on all the exact same tours remain. This does not hold any water. This casts us (Quack and Chikara) in a very negative light while the truth behind the departure would cast him in a negative light. And I understand why he would want to create a piece of fiction to protect himself from that. But I’m certain in due time eventually the truth will come to light.
So there. We don't know the "truth" right now, and for all we know, we may never know it. Quack seems to be taking a high road here, which is respectable. I don't want to throw too much shade at Hero for the shoot comments because if he felt like he was wronged, he has a right to air those grievances. That being said, I've always disliked the shoot interview, and oftentimes, the answer to all problems lies somewhere in the middle.

Now, whether that truth lies closer to what Hero said or what Quack is not saying is something that we don't know. Again, I'm not sure I care to know it either. This is a matter between two grown-rear end men, and it doesn't affect my view of how each one of them functions as an artist in the least. I will be waiting with baited breath to see how Kassius Ohno turns out in a WWE ring, and of course I will continue to support and enjoy Chikara wrestling events, especially when Quack is in the ring making magic like he is wont to do.

One man has dedicated so much time to giving Mike the benefit of the doubt. And I can't even imagine being a regular listener to Quack's podcast with the Fox and Friends scam artist guy. It's horrible.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

They’ll probably just find away to shoehorn in Johnny Gargano again so they can chump him out.

What happened to Ciampa?

The last time they did that, Chris Jericho and [redacted] won titles off of Kurt Angle

I like how elevating someone new to the main event scene is apparently a foreign concept to Vincels.

Its funny because if I logged in and discovered that Jey Uso had turned on Roman Reigns and beat him for the world title I'd be like "Huh, really? Ok, you have my attention."

Yeah, Jey turning on Roman and beating him for the belt would be a "that sounds crazy, I gotta see this" sort of thing.

Then it would turn out the execution was a wet fart rollup

I cannot imagine interacting with wrestling like this. "EVIL used 25 fouls tonight" and the match "didn't crack 3 stars on @Grappl" wtf dude just say you hated the match and there was too much bullshit instead of trying to sound objective about it and coming across as a weirdo.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
I wouldnt call that a stupid opinion really... like you may hate the phrasing but a near 40 minute match filled with bullshit that was like maybe 4th best on a below average show as a main event is Reign of Terror Huntor tier.

i mean that wouldn't be terrible, it'd do a lot to strap a rocket to a fresh face in the main event scene, and roman/jey might have some good chemistry for matches. i don't hate it.

"25 fouls" just makes me imagine Red Shoes throwing yellow flags at every bit of cheating EVIL does and constantly threatening to pull out the red one if he dares hit Naito in the nuts one more time

There isn't a thread for normal (but wrong) opinions phrased in a stupid way that makes you sound like a dweeb unfortunately. If you hate a match, just say that instead of pretending the Grappl app average rating matters to anyone.
