Crucible team has to win, Quack. Either Ophidian's or, if there is one, the kids. Thief Ant didn't get crap outta winning last year. But a new rudo group gets mystique and cred, and that's what they all need. I dunno about that re: last year. It was hard to get behind two new ants showing up at first, but the storyline of Fire Ant being in a dark place and rejecting them before being won over and finally embracing them as a new Colony was quite well done and at the very least established Green and Thief to a decent extent. I don't think Crucible -has- to win KOT, but they'll be super strong for sure. After being brutalised all summer there'll no doubt soon be a moment where someone or something about the traditional WF trainees will prove they can counteract the 'fight club' method, leading to act three of the storyline, all-out war on a level playing field. Maybe in a Cibernetico? Basically there's definitely a distinction between being 'jobbed out' and the babyfaces having that 'strike back' moment. Hopefully we get the latter.

A Nazmaldun team should've won in 2016 but that didn't happen.

A Nazmaldun team should've won in 2016 but that didn't happen. I think they were set on doing an all joshi final in the USA and having a first ever queen of trios final. That seemed to be the theme of the weekend. It worked out in the end.

I guess. In my opinion since the Nazmaldun stuff was the huge story that year it would've been nice for one of the teams to have won. Would have had more of an impact than a queen of trios final I'd think. But whatevs.

Yeah, the new, strong heel team HAS to win, which means it's gonna be Team Australia vs. Team Australia 2 in the finals.

There's various matches signed all the way through Chikarasaurus Rex so I updated the first page with those.

So we're all in agreement that John's band of misfits is going to get dunked on, yeah?
Like, this is very obviously akin to past storylines like the BDK where an arrogant false savior tries their hand and gets it fed back to them so the real hero can emerge.

This is them showing up for that Crucible show this weekend right? Yeah, no chance that John's team gets out of that well.

Interesting Hallowicked doesn't just outright say MAM's facing Frightmare or Kobald.
Maybe someone else?
I don't know. Kobald's not been around much this season and unless I'm misremembering Frightmare's yet to appear this season.

Oh crap, that was Frightmare's, wasn't it? I hadn't even considered that. Makes me think since Frightmare hasn't really mentioned CHIKARA (and CHIKARA hasn't mentioned him), hasn't been booked at all this season and that happened that we have another case of a mysterious fall out between CHIKARA and a talent. Sucks. Frightmare was not only good, but they really built him up as a credible threat the last few seasons. Guess if you want your Frightmare fix you'll have to follow the smaller promotions he's working for like Excellence and Let's Hang Out (both producing great shows admittedly) and wherever else he ends up.

I heard through the grapevine that Frightmare has spent a lot of time in Europe recently.

We'll know what happened if Quack tries to trademark the gimmick. Seriously though, Frightmare's been a cornerstone of CHIKARA for ages, it'd be a bad blow to lose him.

Anyone know what happened at the Crucible show yesterday? Haven't been able to find anything about it online.

Word is that they confiscated everyone's phone upon entering the show. Seems that it was done under Crucible rules as well. Demorest, Frey, Amir, and Devantes had matches against unknown guys. Makowski beat John Francis, Lance Steel beat Hermit Crab, Whisper beat Boomer with 1 second left, and Ophidian went to a draw with Green Ant.
It was stated that Ophidian said he would use his Golden Opportunity to challenge Quack to be head trainer of the Wrestle Factory.
The most interesting part is that since Ophidian failed to beat Green Ant he had to take a beatdown from the rest of the Crucible.
