I like everything BUT the mask. I feel the look he had going up until this most recent change worked perfectly.

Well, 17 broke Quack's wrist, and The Swarm have done alright. Shard is kind of useless, though, but, given who his tecnico counterpart is, that's kind of apt, isn't it? It seems other than 17's breaking of Quack and NotForLong they've lost every time. Either someone taps or they get DQ'd for ripping off someone's mask when in trouble. Just seems weird, you'd think at some point if they were to mean anything, they'd have won something. Maybe this was just supposed to be a short term thing. They won 3 of their 4 matches in Canada, they beat King & The Colony in Rahway & they beat the 1st gen'ers in Easton...so they win, they're just not the dominant force that the BDK was.

I honestly love all the matches, You know just everything in general, i don't know why pulpwood are bitching about the main because that was seriously the best match of the night hands down. I honestly believe that wicked was the mvp of the night. I kind of wished they did more stuff for the ladder match. But overall amazing ippv and i can not wait for king of trios. Dreamer lynn and 2 cold scorpio f*** if only they have team wwf with faces of fear

The only problem there is that would require Icarus going to be a technico. The only way FIST would work as a technico team would be Icarus getting kicked out. And FIST without Icarus is just... I don't know. It doesn't feel right. well FIST without Icarus can be no worse than any version of FIST with Gargano, so they'd be right where they are now

Dreamer lynn and 2 cold scorpio f*** if only they have team wwf with faces of fear You know what, I'm sure the matches themselves were fine. They usually are and that's not the issue. It's the story behind the matches that I'm worried about. The matches don't matter unless the reason why they are wrestling is worth investing your own emotional involvement. As much as I want to be invested in Chikara right now they are doing everything possible to make sure it doesn't happen. I still care to a degree. I care about Archie and SDR vs Batiri and The New Taco Headed Ophidian vs UMB but not nearly as much as I should be. And those are the minor plots that Chikara are currently running. The main plot, GEKIDO, is like a car on blocks and now we have a CDP that already has PWG's tag belts under hostage. I know they just lost to the SSB but it's only a matter of time before they get those back. Simply put, I don't care anymore. I want to care. I really really do. But I don't. I'll still check in to see what's going on but right now I'm just not feeling it. Maybe I've grown out of the company, we'll see.

I'm gonna wait it out through the YLC shows, because the YLC almost ALWAYS makes me more excited about Chikara, but if those don't pick me up in the way they should.....man, I don't know what's next.

So what exactly is so bad about a great tag team winning the tag belts?

You guys shouldn't have to force yourselves to care. If you think you need to take a break from the promotion, you might as well. Then, you can invest on something that interests you currently.
And I kind of don't like the whole "why are you complaining/stop complaining" thing because even though I really liked the IPPV, and I'm still cool with CHIKARA's general direction, the points made against it have been fair and/or subjective. Just like how you shouldn't force yourself to care, no one should force them to care.

Oh, were pretending the Bucks haven't had tons of great matches over the years and just suck.
Okay then, never mind.

They've had great matches, but charisma wise, I can definitely see why people don't like them. And I mean that outside of their heel act in PWG (which I'm a fan of at times) That, and some of their spots you can practically time when they are going to show up (aka their matches are at times very predictable). But that's another issue entirely.

I don't know if it was mentioned, but with their tag team win, The Throwbacks now have 3 points towards a CdP shot.

I thought SSB had the PWG belts? Granted I'd love to see the Bucks go all KoW on the indies to see people's heads explode so them having it wouldn't be horrible.

Flips and superkicks and yelling "Come on!" and the handshake routine. Whoopee ding dong doo.
And Kamikaze, you are absolutely correct.
