It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Honestly all that did was remind me I was still following Chikara so I could correct that error.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

At least he's being human and trying to apologize and actually owning up to things.

It is unquestionably an extremely dorkus video to make instead of typing it out. Suit, backdrop, script, lighting rig, big boy announcing voice. But he could feel that all makes it as genuine in appearance as it is in his heart and that's a good gesture if so. i do not know this guy.

that's a fairly disingenuous read on that if you watched it all, person who signed up and paid lowtax money after he was outed as a monster

I expected that to be cringey just cause Quack but it seems pretty genuine, at least more so than screenshotting your notes app to twitter. Doesn't excuse or relieve any of what happened but it's a step in the right direction.

I have my reasons and I have donated to RAINN but while it's nice that he apologized if you don't recognize it as a worked promo and feel it's genuine and appropriate then I'll just agree to disagree

He got dressed in his finest Goodwill suit to make himself look like a big boy who learned his lesson and matured, like he hasn't been doing awful poo poo for decades and was fine continuing doing it even when his own staff would talk about hearing rumors of it

All of this is personal experience but in high school "rape" was a really common joke along with dead baby jokes and other early internet humor. One of my friends pulled me aside and explained to me what she had been through so I tried to put a stop to that kind of joke among my friends and half of them agreed is was disgusting and inappropriate once they knew someone it happened to and the other part thought it was funnier to use it more often.

A bunch of my friends in college loved a song called "Baby Raper" so loving much.

I gradually grew apart from them.

You are already dead
My friends and I said every edgelord thing in the book up to and including slurs through like our Sophomore year of college, I remember reading these forums in HS and thinking how funny that stupid poo poo was. The moment where I realized I hadn't said "rape" as a joke or anything in a long time was when I went to a bowling alley with some guys from HS the next year and one of them literally said "raaaaaaaapppppeeeee" after getting left with some kind of hanging split and I felt a huge sinking feeling in my gut of discomfort that I was associating with this person in a public space.

I was definitely a hosed up rear end in a top hat who said lots of lovely things when I was < 20, being a wealthy white Jewish kid who'd been a target of my fair share of slurs and bullying growing up, and then I started being friends with women and more than a handful of PoC and realized what a piece of poo poo I was and stopped. I even finally got myself to stop calling things "retarded" a couple years ago, which took a loving lot of work since it was probably one of the most commonly used words between my friends and I for 15 years or so. Hopefully Sammy grows up and does better, and hopefully at some point is held accountable for that story about holding the waitress against the car, because while my friends and I said lots of bad poo poo I'm pretty sure none of us ever did something close to that terrible.

It's not owning up when you spend the first 8 minutes of a video saying you didn't see anything but you believe the person, that something never happened or that a thing happened but it was totally innocent, but your feelings are valid.

I'm going to stab you. Offline. With a real knife.


Im catching up on one of my favorite podcasts and they have Quack in as a guest. One of the questions they ask is the guests Mount Rushmore of TV shows. Previous guests would answer the question in 3 minutes and they're off to the next question. Quack takes like 15 minutes to explain the intricacies of how he implemented aspects of Lost and SNL's Improv style to his CHIKARA story-lines. :wtc:

In addition to Lince almost dying at a CHIKARA show in 2007 and Quack seemingly not caring, Quack fired Lince in 2010 after Lince appeared maskless in an episode of "Last Call with Scott Hall" in 2010

IIRC Scott brought his camcorder backstage at a Florida indie show and asked Lince to introduce himself for the camera.

Quack saw it as Lince disrespecting kayfabe and fired him.

When Saturyne left CHIKARA and showed up in WSU maskless as Hania, I posted about it on a CHIKARA message board and instantly got a DM from Kobald screaming at me to take it down cause people high up in CHIKARA (Quack) were really upset over it. The lengths of kayfabe protecting Quack goes thru is insane at times.

I could be wrong, but I remember it not so much that Quack fired him, but his angry reaction to it (they were building up an angle of Lince losing his mask, so I can see where Quack was coming from) was enough to piss Lince off enough to start no-showing.

But Quack refusing to in any way bury the hatchet definitely tracks with Chris Hero's shoot interview.

It always amazed me that "Chris Hero returns to Chikara to do ANYTHING" would have been this huge deal for years, but Quack could never move forward.

From the YouTube comments of Quack's stupid video:

quote:

i told travis huckabee i had a neck issue and asked if it would be a problem in early training and he said no then he had me do a bridge on my neck after doing an hour of bumps and rolls and stepped onto my body with his full weight, putting it entirely on my neck. i was then injured and couldnt return to training. lmao.

the idea that your school would never intentionally hurt someone is kind of a joke after that because even if your trainers didnt do it out of malice they did out of ignorance and your total lack of vetting and oversight is responsible

also quack immediately ended correspondence with me and ignored questions after he got the info he needed (i wasnt going to sue.) until then he was playing a perfect gentleman about it.
