Better idea! lWo 2.0. Bestia 666, El Hijo De La Parka, and.....who else from the lWo had kids that are wrestlers? El Sultan? Kortiz... both seem to have heritage.. Is Dominick wrestling yet? That's gotta legally be worth two right? Even greater idea... skip a generation... lWo 3.0... just put em in ponchos and sombreros... then they could explain their sudden disappearance as some kind of Tijuana based bender gone wrong

So there's a whole thing that's blown up overnight about Silver Ant and his identity. On Thursday's Voices of Wrestling podcast, when Joe Lanza ranted about a CZW Dojo Wars tag that he didn't like, he mentioned that one of the wrestlers in it was Silver Ant... {Spoiler}"Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, in case you're still not aware. That sat there for three days with no-one reacting, until Brandon Stroud on Uproxx got all pissy about it, calling out Lanza for exposing who Silver Ant was, and things exploded on Twitter from there. For the record, I worked it out a few months ago, with confirmation during the UK Tour. Didn't say anything about it online after that, because who really needs to be bothered by it? Cagematch does as much to destroy kayfabe on these matters anyway.

Cagematch does as much to destroy kayfabe on these matters anyway. Brandon Stroud and the other one (Danielle Something) have probably done more harm to Silver Ant's shoot identity than the Voices of Wrestling folks themselves. I woke up this morning to find it being discussed on Twitter as a by-product of them being all pissy about it. If they hadn't gotten into a furore then I'd probably still be in the dark myself. Personally, I'm not too bothered by it. It's not as if it's a case like Mexico where they are super strict about this kinda stuff. All the "main" Ants (Fire, Soldier & Silver) all have other gimmicks to fall back on so knowing who is behind the mask isn't a big deal at all.

That's messed up. I mean...I don't think it was a well-kept secret, but you shouldn't put somebody on blast like that.

Yeah, it's not like Fire or Soldier's identities are all that secret either...

Was it that Silver Ant used to be Green Ant?
All joking aside avoiding it like the plague, Chikara is magic and I don't wanna learn about it's secrets if I can't help it.

In all seriousness, I've known who Silver is unmasked for awhile now. He has the build and prowess to be in the WWE, and I'm honestly shocked he and Drew aren't there yet. They'd make a mean Technical Tag Team let me tell ya. And both can wrestle singles just fine too, they're both total packages in my book

All the "main" Ants (Fire, Soldier & Silver) all have other gimmicks to fall back on so knowing who is behind the mask isn't a big deal at all. That would be Danielle Matheson. Both she and Brandon Stroud absolutely brought more attention to the situation by whining about it online. But that's what they do. Both of them are constantly looking for a hill to die on so they can gain a pat on the back. Their "too cool for school" attitudes are f***ing nauseating. In a nutshell: Never follow either one of them on Twitter or read anything they put out. Your life will be better for it.

This is not the first time VOW have trolled regarding CHIKARA so I'm not surprised at the jackassery, but Stroud and Matheson are doing themselves no favors by shitthrowing over it. They've already lost the "fight" by reacting in the first place.

For some reason, I kinda imagined Silver Ant as being super good-looking. I'm a little disappointed.

All they did was say "yeah that guy is Silver Ant" and then that was that until Brandon and Danielle got self-righteous on Twitter.

From the guy who let it slip, who seems real unpleasant to begin with, in response to Stroud and Matheson's fit: "“I’M SO MAD AT YOU FOR REVEALING A TERRIBLY KEPT SECRET THAT IM GOING TO DRAW ATTENTION TO IT UNTIL EVERYBODY KNOWS.”" and "“…just for the record, we cover more women’s wrestling than UPROXX.”". Everyone looks really bad and it's ridiculous.

Everyone looks really bad and it's ridiculous. I could be wrong, but I think the comment on women's wrestling was due to the fact that both Stroud and Matheson have accused them of being sexist.

Why does the name Brandon Stroud ring a bell? I don't really follow "insider" news stuff.
