I'm pretty sure Oleg just won the match with a broken freakin' hand. (Or maybe not.) I think he popped one of MISSILE! ASSAULT! ANT!'s lungs though

From Quack's AMA on reddit when asked about Missile Assault Ant and where the line should be drawn in professional wrestling in regards to gimmicks and such.
"This is a great question, and simply put: I don’t know exactly. We certainly have characters in our ongoing narrative with incredibly dark pasts. I am fascinated by the idea that we can really explore the outer limits of fictional storytelling in pro-wrestling, and to be frank on this point, we will probably go too far sometimes. We might lose some fans along the way. We might even offend someone, as much as I hate to think that.
To not do these things, to not make these character or creative choices because we’re afraid to screw up or upset someone… to me, that represents choosing from a place of fear. And I don’t want to be part of that. I want to make a choice because I believe it will deepen the fictional context we create our universe on, and if I fail from making that kind of choice, I can live with it. I can’t live with failing to do something because I was afraid to try, or afraid of where it might lead us."

I can...respect that answer. I still don't like the particular bit about MAA's past, but I can respect the decision making that went into it.

That's an answer I can understand. It shows that thought went into the decision and it wasn't just done for shock value or gits and shiggles. I laughed when I heard Jervis doing the promotional consideration voiceover.

UMB is injured. He's been plagued with many Injuries over his career, from small nagging ones to ones that have required surgery eventually. How serious are we talking and how did it happen?

How serious are we talking and how did it happen? at Indianapolis apparently and indefinitely So what does that do to Arcane Horde? Are they allowed a temporary replacement? I mean they can't just continue with Three People can they?
Would sure be a nice time for Kobald to revive himself...

I guess roll as a trio with Oleg and Batiri... I mean as long as they have a singles match, tag match or trios match they can get around the rules without having to do any relevos atomicos...

The rules are that every team has to have every kind of match against every other team, right? So how many atomicos has the Horde already knocked out?

Only one, with the Gentleman's Club. Well, that's awkward. Actually, I was wrong. There was a second. This is all their matches: VS Dasher's Dugout: **1. Trios: Dasher Hatfield, Mr. Touchdown and Icarus defeated Ultra-Mantis Black, Obariyon and Kodama (4/5/15) VS The Wrecking Crew: **1. Trios: Max Smashmaster, Flex Rumblecrunch and Jaka defeated Ultra-Mantis Black, Obariyon and Oleg the Usurper (5/2/15) VS The Gentleman's Club: **1. Tag Team: Obariyon and Kodama defeated Chuck Taylor and The Swamp Monster (4/3/15) **2. Relevos Atomicos: Chuck Taylor, Drew Gulak, Orange Cassidy and The Swamp Monster defeated Ultra-Mantis Black, Obariyon, Kodama and Oleg the Usurper (4/4/15) VS Nightmare Warriors: VS Die Bruderschaft Des Kruezes: **1. Tag Team: Obariyon and Kodama defeated Jakob Hammermeier and Pinkie Sanchez (3/8/15) **2. Trios: Jakob Hammermeier, Nokken and Pinkie Sanchez defeated Ultra-Mantis Black, Obariyon and Kodama (5/24/15) VS Battle Hive: **1. Trios: Amasis, Worker Ant and Ashley Remington defeated Ultra-Mantis Black, Obariyon and Kodama (6/13/15) VS The Snake Pit: **1. Tag Team: Obariyon and Kodama defeated Ophidian and Eddie Kingston (7/25/15) VS United Nations: **1. Relevos Atomicos: Juan Francisco de Coronado, The Proletariat Boar of Moldova, Mr. Azerbaijan and Prakash Sabar defeated Ultra-Mantis Black, Obariyon, Kodama and Oleg the Usurper (3/7/15) VS Crown and Court: **1. Trios: Ultra-Mantis Black, Obariyon and Kodama defeated Jervis Cottonbelly, El Hijo Del Ice Cream and Ice Cream Jr. (6/14/15) As you can see, they go for tags and trios a lot. The Batiri are the workhorses of the team.

So I guess, just going by that rundown, that the big finale this season was gonna be the Horde gaining a lot of points against Hallowicked's team, leading to a victory at the finale where UMB earns a title shot and wins. Wonder what they'll do now.
