Another thing I'm getting from watching these old shows....f***, I miss Sweeney. Sweeney laughing at the Ants’ entrance music pausing, and them pausing with it, always gets me. I post that clip on social media twice every year. One for his birthday and one on April 11th to honor his memory. That is one of the best things ever.

One for his birthday and one on April 11th to honor his memory. That is one of the best things ever. It's one of the videos I rely on if I'm having a bad day. It tends to cheer me up. ...a little less now because I miss the man. But it still does bring a smile to my face.

They blew a huge opportunity to screw with fans in a way that Chikara die-hards, at least, would have eaten up (though it may have been a barrier to new fans). UMB started the new season with the title... that means he beat Hallowicked during the LOST season. But what if he hadn't? What if Hallowicked wins the culminating match during the fake season? UMB and Bryce watch the tape from the recorded show and they're shocked. "That's not how it went!" Now both dudes are somehow champ at the same time, and there's chaos. Ashley Vox is sometimes evil and sometimes good. Worker Ant retires from his injury, then comes out at the next show, right as rain. This all leads to a showdown to not only unite the titles, but unite the timelines. Now UMB gets his shining moment. Dude, you're Chikara. BE WACKY. As much as a pain tracking the whole thing was, I'd have been all over that. We've had multiple instances of time travel, why not alternate timelines? and this way you don't screw the fans out of actually seeing UMB win the Title.

All these years later, and I'm STILL trying to figure out who the "Prince Raymond Torres of Brunei" rules match was a rib on.

You know it's bad when even the wrestlers think it's bad...

So Bryce is STILL going along with Dasher's plan.
Screw Dieter, Bryce is making Wink Freaking Vavasseur look good, and he was actively trying to screw with Chikara!

Bryce still acts like a face, yet when it comes to select things he either goes ghost, does nothing, or plays favoritres And what annoys me more is that even in Kayfabe, everyone is kinda standing around doing nothing, including Quack. I have nothing to invest in other than "Bryce is an idiot"

So, apparently the Wrestle Factory students (and who appears to be an unmasked Callux) take part in underground lucha/MMA fights? Interested to see where this goes.

I have nothing to invest in other than "Bryce is an idiot" Springing Callux on Touchdown is one thing. Making him re-earn those three points, apparently with the blessing of the idiot DoF, is completely different. With this kind of dispute, it's in the best interest of everyone involved to have a proper match as soon as possible. If Touchdown rushes those two points (and he already has match #2 scheduled for YLC), the earliest this can be settled would be the end of April, and that's if he manages to win both point matches. Wrestling Gods forbid he loses one of those, which is extremely likely given how damn glacial Chikara's storytelling has gotten in recent seasons. I'd expect this to be dragged out until at least Aniversario. #ImpeachRemsburg

Did anyone else pick up on how heelish Dasher is by telling Mark to "break a leg?"

So here's a stumper: Back at Aniversario Epsilon in 2006, Lance Storm teamed with The Colony against Rorschach and two jaybrones. The thing is, this Lance Steel was very demonstrably played by a woman, so I'm curious if anyone knows who she was, and what the gag was there?

I vaguely remember this from when I was watching through Season 5 not that long ago. I think it was Allison Danger, since she was on the Delta card but not the Epsilon card. Not sure why, though. The usual Lance Steel probably didn't show up or something, and since Danger was already there and presumably not booked, they figured they'd just put her in the costume.

So, I remember Blank had two minions, Still Life with Apricots and Pears, and the other guy whose name in drawing a blank on (no pun intended).
What happened to the other guy?
