Has Soldier Ant performed at any of the events since his return at YOLT? I really want to see Fire Ant try to reason with him.

I'm sure of how it would end already: Fire Ant makes a valid point and reasons with Soldier Ant, then Green Ant comes along and acts like a douchebag like he always does and pisses Soldier Ant off again. ...then Podcast-A-Go-Go and such tell us what a jam-up guy Green Ant is. .........yes, I'm still calling him Green Ant.

Admittedly it is REALLY hard to get into this whole "Silver Ant" thing
I mean why did he just decide to change it? No prompting, no reason, no indication that he even LIKED Silver in any way in the first place, just "Hey I'm Silver Ant now, that name I've established myself as for years, and basically at this point said I wouldn't change because it's a part of me now... well I changed it! Everybody cheer!"
Considering he just lost to Missile Assault Ant I feel it's more of a liability than an upgrade.

Someone: Green Ant? Silver Ant: It's Silver Ant now! Someone: Why? Silver Ant: Mind your business, that's why!

He said on Danielle Matheson's podcast that he prefers Silver Ant and thought he had been stuck with the Green Ant name for too long. Maybe that's just him being a good hype man, but it sounded like he meant it. You can listen and decide for yourself if you want. I agree with him, for what it's worth. If anything he should have been Silver Ant since right after King of Trios 2011, or even High Noon, before the Green gimmick became so established. c'est la vie.

Silver Ant sort of just happened
Its not like I HATE Silver Ant I just think that it could have at least been built in if anything a vignette.

I don't think it was a good Idea to do it at the same time another person in his own team was getting a name change.

It's just more proof that Green Ant is the worst thing ever.
He spends all that time getting everyone invested in his character and making what was originally a somewhat insulting name (because he was the rookie of the team brought in specifically to replace a beloved star) into his own thing that the fans actually embraced only to throw it away for literally no reason with literally no explanation.
Like I said above, Green/Silver Ant -> Douchebag. And I sincerely hope he one day follows suit with Jigsaw and becomes the heel his character rightfully is, because right now he's a sore thumb sticking out in Chikara: An unlikeable face. It's like the one promotion in wrestling that we don't have to worry about that. So can they please get on with remedying that fact?

It's like the one promotion in wrestling that we don't have to worry about that. So can they please get on with remedying that fact? Wow. So much wrong with this I don't even know where to start. Let's take it point-by-point, I guess. "Worst thing ever" is a funny way to spell "best wrestler on the roster." He spent "all that time getting everyone invested in his character?" What characteristic did Green Ant ever have other than he's the guy who hit people really hard and was really good at wrestling? I love the guy, but despite being the mouthpiece of The Colony his promos are pretty generic and rely entirely on his shout-y intensity. He get over as a good wrestler, which is still what he is. As far as I'm concerned, it's the same gimmick in a different (arguably better) costume. Nothing got "thrown away" except his colour palette. You're really betraying your argument by liberally peppering it with "literaly"s. He gave the explanation himself on Twitter: YOLT was all about rebirth, the rebirth of CHIKARA and the rebirth of Green Ant. Hell, they even said it in Ashes: "You're no greenhorn." Beyond that it's a pretty unsubtle reference to Power Rangers when the Green Ranger became the White Ranger. The Ants have been a Super Sentai pastiche for a while now and it fits perfectly with that. Whether or not he's a jerk is a matter of personal opinion which I can understand the argument for (especially after Under The Hood) and I do agree that he would make an excellent heel, but to call him "unlikeable" is pretty silly considering he's one of the most over wrestlers on the roster. It's not just when he's with the Colony either, and it's not even just in CHIKARA - in Beyond and DGUSA and even in CZW when they showed up people POP for that dude. It's nonsensical to say he's "a sore thumb sticking out in Chikara" for being a horrible face (he isn't) in the same paragraph as you mention the much maligned Jigsaw heel turn, where Mike Quackenbush was clearly acting like the biggest jerk he's ever been portrayed as and yet somehow he's the good guy. Bottom line: whatever you think about his promos, when it comes to in-ring he knows how to work a crowd as a face and get everyone in the room all hot and bothered. In fact, he's one of the best dudes in the company at it. Sorry for blowing up your post, but it was suffering and needed to be put out of its misery

Crazy thought: What if Ophidian is the next to be killed by Deucalion? And we see Amasis mourning him, but Ophidian comes back in his old Ghost Snake costume he had after his feud with Amasis?

He sold that mask. I saw the guy who bought it posting pics on twitter. It's too bad because that costume was pretty cool.

Chikarason and that kid on commentary was pretty cute. Also Bryce crying on commentary was funny. Wasn't a fan of Dasher though on Commentary.
