Little to do with what’s going on with Chikara, but I just saw on YouTube my local former backyard fed turned mini-indie fed brought in Dasher Hatfield for a match. He lost to chickenshit heel CJ Dirt for the TWF TV Title. Probably not surprisingly, Dasher comes off as a real wrestler and CJ Dirt comes off as a guy playing wrestler. Lol I joined to say duuuuuude TWF good old days man. They seem to be doing ok now they used to film at a park.

And Quack confirms it's shutting down. It was fun discussing Chikara with all of you.

Hey, you know what's feeling really emotionally satisfying right now? Remembering all the shitty, shitty booking Quack did.
Hey, remember when his character was a psychopath and ending the careers of Gekido members, and Jigsaw was against it, and we all thought of course this was leading to a Quack heel turn but nope Jigsaw turned and Quack was just right?
Remember when three outsider teams won King of Trios in a row? And how, for one of them, the runner-ups got to the finals by getting their asses kicked really bad in the semifinals match?
Oh, hey, and Mustache Mountain got the title, and then went to England with no plans for whether they'd defend it or not, and they just didn't, and then the titles were vacant?

Yeah, not really sure how they expected us to cheer him over Jigsaw. I mean, yeah, Jig attacked Quack, but let's not forget that prior to that, Quack ruthlessly beat 17, then casually snapped CombatAnt's neck while Jig and Toyota were celebrating advancing in KOT. Superkick seems pretty tame after that, like a love-tap. 2015 is kinda baffling to me, like why have an all outsiders final? Especially when you had an ongoing tournament that could've been advanced by having one of those teams win this huge accomplishment. 2016 was clearly his way of cashing in on the women's revolution and his love of Joshi. Who won in 2017, again? Nothing about that title change made sense. Especially since this was the pay-off to Los Ice Creams cashing in their Golden Opportunity. And speaking of which, did Jervis ever use his GO before he left the company?

And speaking of which, did Jervis ever use his GO before he left the company? 2017 was British Strong Style winning over Sendai Girls. It was three years in a row with all-outsiders finals. And honestly, all three years just seemed like Quack just booked the most popular act that year to win in order to get more attention. 2015 was when both Bullet Club and Lucha Underground were at a high point, 2016 was the Womens' Revolution went on, as you mentioned, and 2017 was when BritWres and BSS in particular was starting to really get attention overseas. And as for Jervis, no, he never got the chance to cash in his Golden Opportunity.

2016, really should have been won by The Hexed Men. They were the promotion's hottest heels at the time, why not try to get your long-term talent more heat, instead of putting over outsiders who will be gone by the next show? I would have been fine with 2015 going to Dev Corp again. Or Battleborne, which would have cemented them as the heels Quack sort of, maybe wanted them to be? 2017, I won't lie and say I know what was going on storywise, but maybe Fire Ant's team, since he was the big good at the time? I get KOT was when they brought in all these names from outside, but this is your big flagship event, you give it to the guys in your company you want to strap a rocket to.

You can't really blame Quack for Moustache Mountain signing with WWE right after he put the belts on them. In fact the secret season was pretty much facilitated by the fact that so many people were leaving. He had to do extra stuff just to explain why these people were gone.

Especially when you had an ongoing tournament that could've been advanced by having one of those teams win this huge accomplishment. 2016 was clearly his way of cashing in on the women's revolution and his love of Joshi. Who won in 2017, again? All of them independently, I can make some kind of sense. 2015, ok, you've never had outside winners and you want to make it happen because it really should happen sometimes. So, set it up with a clear face team and a clear heel team, and make it a match everyone knows is gonna be great. But why the hell were the seedings (except for the Oleg rebellion which I have to admit was perfect) set up to deny any kind of Chikara movement or growth? Why'd the Battleborn or the BDK get nothing? 2016... well, I'll always support anything that lets Meiko Satomura get featured as much as possible... and Commander Bolshi's also great. But the way JWP reached the finals was completely baffling, especially because they didn't then go on to play the wounded underdogs! And I had to look back just now to even remember who the faces against Hallowicked were... it was The Warriors Three, who... never ended up mattering at all. In 2017 British Strong Style won, which... okay great, they're kinda the home team, and their match with Sendai Girls is gonna be awesome. But if there was even a Chikara storyline going on, I don't even know what it was. Also, when was the very very uncomfortable match where Chuck Taylor(tm) got strung up in the ropes and every member of the (almost entirely white) audience chopped him?

Honestly, as good as 2015 was, tbf, I've considered doing a fantasy rebooking picking up where 2014 picked up and going all the way up to the present day, with people disappearing off the roster being acknowledged, rather than ignored. If anyone's interested, I might be persuaded to get it going sooner rather than later.

But they didn't even have MM come back to drop the belts, that's the part I have an issue with. Maybe there was a reason, travel issues or something, I don't know. But it just sticks in my craw that the belts were just vacated like that.

Oh yeah, Chuck VS Chuck (TM) that was a feud that sounded good on paper, but never really worked out.

Nazmaldun team definitely would have made sense on 2016. Fine with Lucha team in 15.

They made the right choice in 2015 going with the outsider team. There was already the team tournament going on, so KOT became superfluous. After that definitely should've leaned more towards teams that could use it in storyline though.

Remember the Chuck Taylor storyline where one guy came in, trademarked the name Chuck Taylor, and then the real Chuck Taylor went through all these other names before settling on Dustin, his real name? And it felt like there was no conclusion to it? I really hated that storyline.
