Also,
Two weeks ago, CHIKARA lost two of the newest members of our family, Equinox and Create-A-Wrestler. Before that, The Latvian Proud Oak, his Baltic Seige partner The Estonian ThunderFrog, Kobald…even deviANT from the GEKIDO. All of them destroyed by the man/monster, that has plagued and plotted against us. I’m referring to the leader of The Flood, Deucalion. Too many have fallen to this psychotic villain. The Flood have run roughshod over CHIKARA.
And it’s all my fault.
I take full responsibility for the losses to the people in my charge. That guilt is mine to bear. At National Pro Wrestling Day, I was merely a spectator. I witnessed the fight between CHIKARA and The Flood like everyone else. I was proud of what these men stood for and the valiant effort they made to push back the largest army of invaders CHIKARA has ever faced. I knew it wasn’t the end of this battle, but I felt certain The Flood wouldn’t try such a direct attack again.
I was wrong. I was wrong and someone paid the ultimate price.
No sooner did CHIKARA owner Robbie Ellis appoint me Director of Fun (back at “You Only Live Twice,”) by CHIKARA owner Robbie Ellis I made it a point to let everyone in the locker room know I was committed to them, and most importantly, their safety. However, when The Flood returned at the close of the event I imagined it would be a repeat of NPWD. But I was wrong. This time, they would bring their deadliest weapon – their leader, Deucalion. A savage engine of destruction that absorbed Kobald’s spear as if it were nothing. Then Deucalion took the light from Kobald’s body and left him crumpled motionless in the middle of the ring.
Anyone questioning why CHIKARA didn’t spill out of the locker room in Boston when Deucalion emerged again can blame me. I stopped them from rushing headstrong into another battle. It all happened in the blink of an eye. The orders to pull ThunderFrog from the ring went unheard over the clamoring of the crowd. We couldn’t communicate the danger in time and once again I had destruction on my hands.
Then came CHIKARA’s most recent event, the massive King of Trios 2014, where Kid Cyclone and his classmates defied their trainers’ mandate and called Deucalion out. The hubris of youth lead them to slaughter. And like sand, the charges I swore to protect slipped out of my grasp.
It was then I realized that the harder I tried to hold these brave warriors back, the more I made them powerless to defend and protect themselves, to protect our home. My days of leading the charge onto the battlefield are now in the rear-view mirror. I cannot stand the thought of the recently-reborn CHIKARA losing another star…we cannot sustain another loss. We cannot.
I must step out of their way. Let them take the fight to our foes. There’s no lack of valiant locker room leaders to lead the charge. Our Grand Champion, Icarus, the man who stoked the embers of CHIKARA until it rose from the ashes, is only the tip of the sword.
It was Edmund Burke that said “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Those who fight for CHIKARA must be empowered to wage war, or The Flood will wash us away. Now we must fight, unrestrained. We cannot be deterred. We cannot fail. We cannot.
