Once upon a time, ROH were the gold standard in US wrestling for how to book your world champion.

Once they get them on. They killed Tyler Black and Dalton Castle by loving up their chases.

which wrestler is Cornette getting to? Pretty much everyone goes to great lengths to ignore him. Fans, on the other hand...

You could argue G-Raver, but Cornette said he wished he had died, so go G-Raver go.

They use Marko pretty much perfectly. He can be a useful part of a trio, but he’s always gonna be a jobber in televised singles matches, outwith the occasional upset

perfectly stated - you've got Jungle Boy right there who is also "smaller" and just better at literally everything Stunt does, save "how far can you get thrown"

Well now I just wanna see someone book a wrestling show with a nonlinear narrative

Did you say you wanted things that happens in a comic? To crib from Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/57yjmb/chikara_time_travel_story/d8w4grt ), Archibald Evans did a multiyear gimmick where Eddie Kingston's Backfist To The Future unstuck him from time several times.


quote:

Reposting my original comment trying to track everything, with a few clean ups and extra info:

The Archie time-line (to the best of my knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong):

March 2011: Archibald Peck makes his Chikara debut, loses to Eddie Kingston. He gets backfisted to the future...

December 2015: ...where he gets the 2015 Chikara Yearbook from Mike Quackenbush. In it, he learns to challenge Colt Cabana in...

April 2011: ...and defeats him. He uses the yearbook to start a winning streak, but things start to go differently from the yearbook. Eventually, he changes his name to Mixed Martial Archie, and...

June 2012: ...teams with Colt Cabana against Dasher Hatfield and Mr. Touchdown in a "Loser Leaves Chikara" match. During the match, he goes backstage, where he gets backfisted to the future again by Eddie Kingston to...

1885: ...where he takes the identity of "The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger". At some point, he insults Buford Tannen, where he backfisted (again) to...

July 2012: ...as the Stranger. Here, he is eventually unmasked in December 2012, and is allowed to continue wrestling - since in his timeline, he has not yet lost the "Loser Leaves Chikara" match. He also changes his name back to Archibald Peck. Eventually...

May 2013: ...he faces Eddie Kingston for the Grand Championship. During the match, a second Archie appears in the balcony. In the ring, he leaps forward, and is hit with a backfist to the future, which...

June 2012: ...sends him back into his "Loser Leaves Chikara" match. He is pinned by Mr. Touchdown, and walks out of the ring dejected, and starts to walk all over the world. During this time, he appears or is referenced at Chikara events twice - once to see him being knocked into the future in May of 2013, and once at the temporary closing of Chikara. He eventually ends up in Parts Unknown. Then, 3.0 show up and ask him to help bring Chikara back, and...

February 2014: ...he and 3.0 show up in a DeLorean to help the Chikara wrestlers defeat the Flood and bring back Chikara. He continues to wrestle for Chikara, forming a team with Ashley Remington, until...

October 2014: ...in a brawl with the Flood, the leader, Deucalion, kills him with a chokebreaker.

EXTRA NOTE: This timeline has not yet been closed. The Archibald Peck from December 2015 has not yet been sent back to April 2011 to defeat Colt Cabana, so he could still show up at future events until the second time-travel occurs.
