(like the great confusion of when the Batiri debuted and there was a brief time when live results were coming in from that show that people thought Hydra was apart of the trios with Kodama and Obariyon, not realizing until later it was a completely new character that was a goblin we all know as Kobald). Wait, what? How? Aside from being skinny white dudes, Hydra and Kobald look nothing alike! Kobald's original outfit was blue, for crying out loud!

Wait, what? How? Aside from being skinny white dudes, Hydra and Kobald look nothing alike! Kobald's original outfit was blue, for crying out loud! Actually the first time Kobald was seen, besides as a hooded figure, he was still wearing his hooded robes but he had a green mask very much like Hydra's old, old mask (I think he might have been wearing some gauntlets too but don't quote me on that). Mind you at the time he was hunched over too and not as filled out as he is now, so closer to Hydra in build too. The mask was more jinn looking (specifically I remember that mask having big hooped earrings that looked like a jinn's that would carry over into later masks) than Hydra's, but yes, that led to some mild confusion of "Hydra's back!" "No, he's not." "He's not?!" "He is!" "He is?!" "It's somebody new!" "Are you sure?" on other boards.

I just noticed that Mr. Touchdown is now listed on the Alumni Page.
They seem to be updating the roster photos as well.

so the jewel may be a lance steel. last time we saw a lance in a chikara related story was kimberlee buying the campeones de parejas belts and giving them to lance and jolly. it would be odd but perhaps this is tied to kim in some way. crown and court. crown jewel. i am reaching i know. kim is acting healish again though. one of the reasons this would not make any sense is what does whisper and the owl have to do with anything. they do not seem to fit into this if kim were involved but honestly what do we really even know about whisper? who is the owl? what in the world is mortimer? why the yoyo? what happened to troll? ah well. also jolly would not be involved. he has said multiple negative things about chikara on twitter. i honestly do not see mr sozio unretiring to be lance again either unless he is bored so most likely a new steel or some else that did the character. i have not slept and am just rambling. my apologies.

Speaking of Lance Steel and time travel shenanigans, a WWE writer was released this week for allowing Bret Hart to name drop Vince McMahon in a speech.
Gotta wonder... We never did see Archibald Peck in 2015 get backfisted back to 2011...

Oh, man, I'm finally catching up again on 2008 Chikara, and I've hit Armdrags To Riches, and....this one might be a hard one to get through, I forgot about f***ing Greengo.

New video from Unknowncarbon today. The Youtube app on my 3DS crashes at the drop of a hat, so I have no idea what's being discussed on this one.

Apparently, the leaders of The Crucible aren't the ones uploading the videos to YouTube, and they're basically trying to find out who the whistleblower is by beating the information out of the lower level guys. unknowncarbon says that one of the leaders talked to him directly for the first time, asking him if he'd leaked the footage, and then put him in a fight, where his opponent beat him to a pulp asking him the same thing.

I thought the first tweet may have had something to do with The Crucible but it just may be Sidney being Sidney. The second one I'm not sure about either.

Maybe you should stop micromanaging and start figuring out why so many Wrestle Factory students are taking part in an underground fight club, Sidney.

So I just watched the match where Vin Gerard lost his match and... you know, I see what they were going for. Gerard lied about his identity, took a shortcut to get into the promotion, and the tecnicos were upset.
But, Vin loses his mask to Chris Hero, who won by countering, and then using, the Chikara Special, the fans were still cheering for him after the win, and then the tecnicos come out to toss his luggage at him and kick him out of the building? Lince, the Colony, and especially Shane Storm come across as major jerks for it. No wonder Gerard turned rudo afterwards.
Also, haven't gotten that far yet, but why would Gerard accept Storm/STIGMA into the UnStable? Even if Storm did become an outcast like Gerard, he's the one who's directly responsible for Gerard losing his mask and becoming an outcast in the first place.

One of the masked jobbers is entering the Infinite Gauntlet? I wonder if there'll be some advancement of the Crucible storyline, then. That, or Quack's having trouble rounding up enough talent for the show.

A certain Big Rig is gonna be available in the near future as well.
