Chikara really needs to increase their merchandising efforts. Archibald peck doesn't even have a shirt....

Weirder things have happened. For instance, some people actually think AJ Lee is attractive.

I am astoundingly confused as to why there are
A: Two hardcams
B: Cameras opposite each other and clearly in each other's viewpoint
INDIES
AND GODDAMNIT SO MANY SHADOWS

I'm done nitpicking wheeee
AND GODDAMNIT SO MANY SHADOWS
I'm sure somewhere there's someone arguing that it's done on purpose to tie into the overarching storyline, the payoff will come sometime in 2017.
Why would Bo care about being kicked off of the show that he was the longest reigning champ on? Is this a real question?

CHIKARA was dope at one point. Now it is just embarrassing. I eagerly await to hear how Icarus was in a 5* classic.

I find CHIKARA's at its best when it isn't taking itself too seriously...that Quack promo took itself too seriously.

That's like being the best player in the NBA D-League and being upset when you're forced to go to the real NBA and play in front of more than just the same 50 locals who show up every game.
Alternatively, it's like being upset about having to leave TNA to go to WWE.

How nice of him to save the overly rehearsed speech for the fans instead!

I'm sure he had one prepared for the locker-room as well (with extensive notes).

That was my only AJ gif
I love Mr H's reaction.
Listen to his Colt interview for more proof of this, or to be inspired. He knows how to get people fired up and is a really passionate dude. Can't fault him for either quality. If anything, call him out on his "chain" wrestling.
We can do both!
Sentimentality. He likes it there because it was his home/he was the champ there for a long time and he's being forced to leave it. Or:
Humiliation. He's leaving not because he's ready to (though he may be) or he wants to (though he may), but because he lost to a competitor whom he considers beneath himself while the NXT crowd booed him on his way out, which finally broke his delusion and he reacted. Or:
Tantrum. Bo Dallas is a sore loser and wants to lash out at the crowd so they feel as bad as he does and "You all stink!" is the best he can come up with. He doesn't care about NXT, he cares about
Three fairly evident possibilities. Don't know why anyone would complain about this of all things. All it does is add a bit of depth to a character that lacked it for a long time. And it satisfyingly pays off a heel's long-term character arc. We should be encouraging more writing like that from the WWE.

And when he was actually leaving, you could hear the real wrasslin fans going "thank you bo! Thank you bo! Thank you bo!"
:')
:')
"Thank you Bo For Finally Leaving Because You Suck" just doesn't chant that well.

It's still going on.
Even at the end, when their hero left for greater shores, they never stopped Bolieving ;___:

From the Observer
I'm still not sure why WWE is perceived as cheap programming. When you pull in the numbers they do week after week so consistently, that argument doesn't really hold up.

I seriously can't wait
Because the majority of WWE viewers are low income/low education households and not very intersting to advertisers.
Wrestling still has a stigma and low brow reputation.
But they still buy Stone Cold t-shirts and Cena wristbands.
Counterpoint: NASCAR got a much better deal with practically identical demographics. The stigma is not entirely justified and they've done a good job cleaning up the product since then...but advertisers still don't care.

Icarus's new ring gear is great, if only because it completely covers his tattoo.

It'll be even better because AJ will feel fresh again after taking the time off. If anything could get the crowd into a women's feud a la Trish/Lita, it'll be AJ and Paige.
Fox couldn't lace up AJ's Chuck Taylors!
it's a wrestling ring Alucard. Not a skate park.

I don't even want to imagine the shitty promos from both sides of the AJ and Paige feud.
Can you fast forward through live programming? ;_;
