9 faces...depending on the side. I think the first side shown has 12.

I was just going to say to disregard my post because I rewatched it and saw that there were skulls on all sides

I've read a lot of comments online about the Icarus/Deucalion match, and many were bashing it because it was a horrible sloppy match, and wasn't a mat classic. But for me, I enjoyed the match. Yes, Deucalion was green as hell, but I didn't expect a monster to come out and be a master wrestling technician. I expected him to come out and beat the shit out of Icarus. And he did. And there were some that were saying that Icarus had this "John Cena comeback", and I was like, "I don't see it." Icarus fought for his life against Deucalion and got a big win, and later on, killed Deucalion with the Hammer of Peace.
Many people also said that Jacobs' betrayal of Deucalion was a liking to Starscream in the original 1986 movie. To me, Jacobs was the original leader of the Flood. Deucalion was his monster, who seemingly took over the Flood. To me, that would be a Bond henchman taking over the main bad guy's leadership, like Odd Job overtaking Goldfinger. So Deucalion leading really didn't make much sense to me leading as much as Jacobs leading.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sad that Deucalion's gone, because he's the best monster character in wrestling I felt at the time. So I'm hoping they have a plan going forward, because this seems bigger than the BDK and the Gekido, especially since they both lasted longer than this storyline, and they're both in the Flood. Or at least the BDK is. The Gekido I feel is probably.....well.....dead.

Anyone who hates the Icarus/Deucallion match because it didn't have "teh workrate" is completely oblivious. The Deucallion character isn't a wrestler, he's a fighter who destroys people. He shouldn't do go-behinds and arm drags. He throws punches and does power moves and uses the environment around him as necessary. That's it. And in the end, he got caught in a hold and didn't know what to do since he isn't a wrestler and wanted out.

I wanted a brawl that was fitting of this war. And I feel we got it at Tomorrow Never Dies.

I was live for the match and didn't enjoy it at all. I didn't expect a pretty match, either. I found Deucalion awkward and clumsy. That was my issue with it. I didn't want a workrate match. I wanted Deucalion to look like a monster and I ended up not being able to take him seriously.

The only thing I would have changed would be changing the finish to Icarus stunning Deucalion long enough for the other technicos to bring the hammer in, Icarus smashing him with it, pinning him and winning that way. I think that would have improved it.

All I know is that Icarus needs to turn himself in to the police.I mean, he killed a guy, as a face, he needs to set a good example.

Both Jigsaw & 17 left them, while DeviANT & The Shard were both MurderDeathKilled by Deucalion.

Welp, that explains what'll become of Hallowicked and Frightmare even though Delirious was banished from CHIKARA.
Super curious to see how Hallowicked's gear will look in white and blue.

Daizee looks really good. I wonder if she'll be back in the ring at any point. In any case, really, I'm glad to see she looks much better

In chikara alumni news, Akuma grew his hair out. I think that's a sign of the endtimes.

It was disturbing enough when he had hair for that one Wrestlejam show back in November of 2013, but now...yeah, that's gotta be a sign of the Apocalypse.
