Whereas Jigsaw, Akuma and the like are left in exile. You say that like it's a bad thing.

Don't get me wrong, I have a sign that reads "[X] Days Since a Jigsaw Incident" that I update every day with a smile.

Jigsaw incident? First I've heard of anything like that. Makes sense though, he did just disappear. Same with 3.0 actually.

Yup. Hypocrisy, thy name is Mike Quackenbush. Just a curiosit: the girlfriend of who are we talking about here ? Alongside the Saturyne thing, there was apparently an incident with Neveah who is married to one of the Crists at one of those "All the US indy promotions come together for a show" type deals.

The first National Pro Wrestling Day, I believe.

In 2007 Quack, Jigsaw, Hallowicked, and Gran Akuma all went to ROH for a handful of matches. The only guy that lasted past that handful was Jigsaw. He formed the Vulture Squad, dropped his mask, and completely disappeared from Chikara, amid big rumors of a rift between him and Quack. Of course, when the Vulture Squad bombed, he came back in, cut a few awkward worked shoot promos, put his mask back on, and we carried on like he never left. Odd stuff.

I knew about the ROH stuff but I was wondering if there was a newer incident.

What I say: MISSILE! ASSAULT! ANT!
What I'm thinking: I'm nothing more than a cold blooded heartless monster. How can I ever live with myself knowing I'm responsible for the death of who knows how many innocent children? Yet here I stand, masked, pretending to be some sort of goofball, like I myself mask the true feelings of my own guilt, my own shattered psyche, my own crippling depression. I am a murderer, a murderer who must live with the dark crimes that I have shackled onto myself with my own choices... and I alone must bear the weight...

My post on the matter of the Missile Assault Ant gimmick change, posted it on another forum, posting it here too:
This seriously is the darkest gimmick turn I have ever seen in the history of wrestling
I mean... there are changes in gimmicks and people in wrestling but... never this drastic.
Missile Assault Ant literally went from Lovable Goofy Lummox of an Ant who constantly shouts his own name and gets over on other Ants success like some sort of living marketing toy which was basically what he was
To a Terrorist who murdered a bunch of Children in Africa when he blew up a Schoolbus.
...I don't care if it's Kayfabe, that is really REALLY messed up stuff... CHIKARA is a family show who puts children first... so that's just... really disturbing to go that far. I don't mean to break Kayfabe to the character here but to specifically state it was a Bus full of Children no less, they didn't have to state that, they could have said Bus full of people, but they said School Bus, full of Kids, BLOWN UP. That's this guys backstory, that's his gimmick... honestly, I need to get this show just to hear the crowd reaction, I imagine you could hear a pin drop...
They literally just made the biggest heel in wrestling. A Children Killing Terrorist, and that's really what he is now, no stepping around that... and yesterday he was a goofy Ant that screamed his name...
CHIKARA likes to go places... I'll say that...

So with Journey into Chikara on Weds we now run the risk of Dev Corp putting sugar in the fuel tank and FORMER! MISSLE! ASSUALT! ANT! blowing up the mode of transport... I hope it goes off without any technical glitches...

I was at the show yesterday. In all honesty, the show was very quiet as a whole. Almost eerily so, at some points. I don't really follow the promotion, I didn't react at all. I had no idea who Missile Assault Ant is when he unmasked, so I wasn't invested emotionally. I did find the whole angle to be pretty odd though. And speaking of Chikara being family friendly, I got to see just how serious they are about that firsthand yesterday. The ring announcer is in the ring starting the show and talking about their policies when a fan right at ringside calls out "Bullshit". After getting heartily booed and taken to task for it, he was being escorted away by venue security. He came back a few minutes later, only to be removed by the owner of the venue. Apparently, he is friends with a Beyond worker, so he got to stay IN the venue, but he was tucked away in a coat check room where he couldn't see the show.

So... CHIKARA has found it's way to the comic book Dark Ages then? Or is at least written by Mark Millar... since this is very Goofy hero Speedball become Dark and Broody Penance...

noticed someone questioned where Condron was getting all this information from. what if he came out next time and said that he has been told "17 of the dirtiest secrets of the Chikara locker room"?

I think it was implied it was Condron who was the one who dressed up as 17 and saved Frightmare.
Also, in less kids-exploding news, we're just nearly half-way done with the COTI with 43 out of 90 matches done.
