ALL SHOWS CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.


Previous Thread...

This truly was the best way to close out the last thread.

[EyeofTyr]

To clarify something from the previous shows for everybody, as I'm not sure if others are aware of it, reading online I found out the second Archie appeared before the present Archie was defeated. He was what distracted Archie and cost him the match, and they both disappeared after the lights went out. As opposed to the tweet from the prior thread that implied second Archie appeared after the loss & lights trick that got rid of the first.

So, that begs the question...was that Archie? Or, was that someone else?

And, after learning about Lance Steel & Swamp Monster's appearance during the same match, holding a banana & discussing it... Methinks it was a Lance Steel from the future, who in the future is the holder of WiF's banana. Maybe he brought back Archie's son and that's who distracted Archie?

This is way too weird and complicated and I'm not enjoying it

Really? I'm loving it! It's completely and utterly mental, and I am enjoying every second of trying to piece together even the tiniest pieces of it. If it's all connected, or if it's only bits and, if so, which bits are and which bits are their own thing.

Agreed. This is Russo levels of convoluted.

I say it's more Grant Morrisony

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

Wait if Swamp Monster has the ability to travel through time wouldn't that make him part Man Thing, and would Lance Steel bring back Jolly Roger. I haven't thought this hard in such a long time

I'm honestly loving every bit of it again. Not everything that's a bit more layered than derp wrasslin 101 is Russoriffic.

Agreed. And, seeing as how Morrison's one of my favorite comic book writers of all time...probably not a surprise I love this.

[kidkamikaze10]

Count me in as both a Morrison fan and really liking the current madness.

Yeah. Atleast Russo's storylines were somewhat understandable and didn't require a graph to piece together.

This whole thing is alittle much.

No, Russo-level of convoluted angles is where frequent swerves of the obvious and violations of common sense and storytelling occur. Like the stupidity behind the White Hummer angle.

This is more Metal Gear Solid 2 levels of convoluted.

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

Yeah, enjoy it or not, but the Russo comparison is confusing. It's not convoluted to suddenly contradict what's been set up; it's just bad writing.

My worry is, they're getting our hopes up and nothing will happen. They SEEM to really be hyping the iPPV as a big change (in fact, is that blog a plant? even if it's not, that three questions thing and the banning is awesome marketing), but I worry, just, nothing will happen.

[EyeofTyr]

Yeah, I don't see it as Russo like, it's too complex to be anything Russo would bother with. If we get nonsensical conclusions that are clearly twists engineered to get a reaction and don't make any sense, even with an explanation, then I'd say it's Russo like.

And, carp, you brought up a very good point. I am a little worried about that. CHIKARA the past two seasons has done that more than a few times with certain story elements. Like GEKIDO, which felt like it dragged forever with them consistently jobbing and no story progression really occurring in that time frame.

5/30/2013: Marty Jannetty, here - rockin' and rollin', struttin' and strollin'!

Man, time has flown since Secaucus, NJ back in April. I was in front of a great crowd of fans from all over the world, teamin' with the Booyakuma boys to take care of business, and we had a good time doing it. Well, most of it was a good time.

Then a guy from Cleveland ended up hittin' me below the belt - I guy I had no beef with. That was no party, believe me. But the last thing I expected was one of his own partners to take issue with it. It wasn't that long ago, the rule breakers were A-OK with breaking the rules whenever it suited 'em.

I read your post, Icarus, and I must admit, I was flattered. It put a smile on my face. Reminded me of the good ol' days and the difference we made in people's lives. Sometimes an inspirational moment lives on in someone's heart and soul long after the world forgets it.

That means something to me. When the younger generation remembers what came before.

Sometimes I'm called "the forgotten Rocker." For a long time, I felt like people just looked right past me. I'd go places and people would show me no respect. Like the things I had done and the matches I had given people didn't matter any more if I wasn't on TV. It's hard to feel all "rock n' roll" when no one respects you. When they treat you like a joke.

But brutha, you respect me. You showed me that respect in Secaucus. You marched right up to shake my hand. Shocked the heck outta me. You stood up to your boy when he went below the belt. Not many guys would do that.

I guess what I'm sayin' is - on June 2nd, save me a seat. At The Troc, I've got your back. Ink and all.

Respect, brutha. The business.

The cycle is complete.

Does anyone actually believe Icarus was a fan of Marty Jannetty and it's actually Quack who does, hence him being inserted into this?

I'm still certain Quackenbush writes the bulk of the blogs himself, save for a couple like Sugar & Jagged.

But, yes. Mike Quackenbush's fandom of late 80s to mid 90s WWF is pretty transparent.

[EyeofTyr]

Yeah, from what I can tell, this is more Quack living through Icarus. But it's still a nice storyline.

[Johnny B. Decent]

Still.....technico Icarus. Wow. I mean, he's been a non-stop Rudo for what, 8 years? It's gonna be one heck of a mind-trip.
