He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

The bingeable content thing is an outright lie considering we can binge stuff like the Network, Demand Progress, or y'know, their old seasons. Sure it is but keep in mind this is a stunt to get subs for Topia. Topia is advertised as being free for the first month. So you have to wait and pay for the next two months if you want to follow along. Now you could wait until it's all up and get your free month then and binge the whole season but they're counting on you following along as it goes up. I don't know why people are missing the point of them doing this.

...So not that this match couldn't be good. But... if DeFarge and Crummels are the CdP, then why the hell are they in a match for POINTS??
I think they did this with the Batiri when they had three points last year and it bugged the absolute shit out of me. Are The Hawks not available??

It's an Atomicos match, not a 4 way tag.

Lovely, nothing says bringing prestige to your belts than a team that could have given a large rub to your division just giving the belts up. I know the travelling issues and Im sure Crummels and DeFarge beat someone to get them, doesn't excuse the stupidity and how much that makes The Germ Salesman as tag champs look like shit...

What if they legally cant book them because of their WWE Contracts? I know several people from the tournament got pulled from UK shows because of it and and there was also the guy who got replaced in YLC. or maybe they do a story where MM show up and say they were never beat and they have a match down the road.

Moustache Mountain have flown out to do a secret show, I'm sure of it (although it may have been when they were doing NXT?)... which is what boggles the mind. Dropping the CdP's was clearly agreed upon like when a talent has to finish up dates, except in this case they aren't going to NXT (as far as I'm aware...)
Again... the rule seems to be: A) Don't do any live streamed shows and B) Don't do anything that clashes with something we'd need you for. Does Chikaratopia come under rule A? which would seem odd when you think Kimber and Heidi are on Season 17, the whole Gulak being on it whilst on the CWC/RAW and hell even when you think they went and bought the character to Lince
But maybe Mania weekend they're needed for something other than Progress (which they're still gonna be there for) which means they can't make Chikara shows (sure I get the Friday one that clashes with the HoF, but again that saturday one? Unless they're gonna be at NXT afterwards and they need them for rehearsal?)

Just a random thought on the Ultramantis title win. So, we know he's going to win the title, sure, and I understand why people see that in a negative way but think about this, we know at the very beginning of Hamilton how it ends but it's still the fastest rising, most award winning, hardest show to get into that has swept the nation and is crushing it in ticket sales. The reason being? Good storytelling. It's still exciting, people are still surprised and people still show up to watch a "predictable story" in droves. It's all about how you get there. If the storytelling is great, a predictable ending shouldn't matter.

The reason being? Good storytelling. It's still exciting, people are still surprised and people still show up to watch a "predictable story" in droves. It's all about how you get there. If the storytelling is great, a predictable ending shouldn't matter. Hamilton is a one and done story. They're not creating new content to stay in business. They're just telling the same story over and over until people stop coming. CHIKARA is different. I thought they used the UltraMantis Black title win to pull in subs for Topia because he's so popular. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he's not valued enough. Think about the ending to King of Trios 2012. The crowd pops when Hallowicked wins for the team. It re-pops when UltraMantis Black says "We did it!" Imagine the reaction if UltraMantis Black was the one to score the win. Especially for his first major event win. People would've been on their feet and jumping in the air. He's that popular. Maybe CHIKARA doesn't see it that way. Idk. My point is they could've done that grand championship title change with almost anyone else and it wouldn't have hurt them. Fire Ant is a very talented wrestler. He's a CHIKARA favorite. No one would say he didn't earn it. Not as popular as UltraMantis Black but he'd be a great choice for this concept. He's not a promo guy but people would have been happy to see him win the belt. He could drop it back to Hallowicked and then they could set up a season for the UltraMantis Black run. If Fire Ant doesn't cut promos then you can't realistically build a season around him but with this instant secret season it could work. You can build a whole season with UltraMantis Black who is not only fantastic at cutting promos but he's the most over guy in the entire company. I'm not hating on CHIKARA here. I'm thinking long term investment here and it feels like they flushed a great opportunity away by excluding the fans this way. They could've gotten so much more than 3 months of Topia subs out of it. They would've hooked a lot of fans letting that story play out over a year.

For "Blink" According to their Twitter, this is the final match being announced for Blink. Maybe it's just me, but even with a tag title match and knowing they'll probably do an encore, does six matches seem low to anyone else?

Six announced matches seems to be the standard now.

Back to Trios 2012 and whether or not UMB was over or not. Think about this...to combat the few ROH fans in the crowd, the rest of the crowd did a DUELING CHANT FOR UMB!
If that doesn't say you're over, then I don't know what.
