Ok guys, I've been out of the loop for a little bit and have been trying to catch up with this thread but there are so many pages and with people not fleshing out their points I have ended up with more questions than answers. Can anyone give me a run down of what's been happening this year (with ephasis given on those who were once dead coming back to life)? It would be most appreciated.
The main story is the Challenge of the Immortals. 10 quartets doing a double round-robin tournament. Winners get a point, losers get no points. Each team competes against another team twice in a match decided upon by the captains. It can be a atomicos, trios, tag or singles match, but you can't have the same exact match twice. That's 90 matches and we're currently at 43. There's a fan-made leaderboard out there, but Chikara doesn't post it on their website, which is stupid IMO.
Hallowicked and by proxy Frightmare were brainwashed by the Eye of Tyr and are now rudo, following orders from the otherwise-unknown Nazmaldun. Blind Rage also came back and joined them. Silver Ant was selected to their COTI team and the other three are trying to convert him with no success so far. Hallowicked won the Grand Championship in April, but there's hints of a greater purpose, all dictated by Nazmaldun.
Kevin Condron is the former Kid Cyclone, who turned rudo and unmasked in last season's finale. He took the Lithuanian Snow Troll for himself when Jacobs left and is now simply The Troll. Somehow, Condron has gained inside knowledge of Titor's dealings and is using it against former Flood members who are still around. Condron started with Volgar and eventually got through saying he had "spoke to Sam" and convinced Volgar to unmask, who then re-debuted as "Juke Joint" Lucas Calhoun and joined Condron. Condron then started the same deal with Missile Assault Ant, finally getting through with the Zimbabwe schoolbus bombing yesterday, getting MAA to unmask and leave with his head down.
This season has teams challenging the Devastation Corporation for the Campeones. Princess Kimberlee and Jervis tried at the last show and got a tap-out, but the ref missed it and they fell. I feel that storyline isn't quite over yet. Also, Oleg the Usurper was traded by Sideny Backabella from the Devastation COTI team to Ultramantis Black's teams, who both engaged in some draft-day chicanery. Backabella sees Oleg as the weak link, but Oleg recently challenged for the Grand Championship, showing he's not as weak as Backabella though.. Backabella has shown that he owns Oleg's contract, causing Oleg to lose matches in recent events, including a COTI match. Oleg wants to deck Backabella, but he can't.
King of Trios is coming up and every COTI team has to choose which three of their four will go. This will likely cause some friction. There's already been frustration from Heidi Lovelace, Jervis, The Batiri and probably will be others regarding COTI losses.
As far bringing back dead wrestlers, Jervis has alluded to it and has comically gone about trying to figure out how to bring back Estonian Thunderfrog for instance, but has had no luck. A new wrestler by the name of Argus debuted and seems to be a frog that was struck by lightning from the gods, perhaps a sign that Jervis' adventures into dark magic have somewhat worked, but we don't know for sure.
