Ares' warnings have come to fruition, and the BDK showed up to close Wrestling Is Cool in the snow yesterday. Or did they? Confusion arose out of Ares' appearance, as according to Babs (@WritingFemme), well, maybe that arm isn't exactly shut down:
Also according to Babs, poor Thom was assaulted by Eddie Kingston, Gavin Loudspeaker was assailed by the BDK (which is an amazing bit of continuity, even if Jakob Hammermeier is... well, missing in action?), and as noted in the tweet above, several mainstays were fired from the promotion. The events of yesterday beg the question as to whether total chaos under totalitarian rule would make a shutdown actually preferable.
However, while Ares came to stake his ownership claim over the coolest of the Wrestlings Are, his companion was someone entirely different than the behemoth bringer of doom known as Tursas. The Finnish warmonger took to Twitter this morning to dispel any rumor as to his involvement in the takeover of the company:
All the above begs the question as to whether the Gekido really were the perpetrators of the Wrestling Is Intense shutdown. Ares, Bodhi, and Cube are all unique characters, unable to be duplicated, but the Gekido are all masked by their very identities. Then again, could the Gekido also be the those otherwise masked henchmen?
The pieces are starting to come together, even if the end portrait is still muddled. In my personal opinion, that Wrestling Is Cool settled on a home in Philadelphia may an important detail in why it wasn't shut down. Chikara did meet its apparent doom in the City of Brotherly Love. If a resistance were to be mounted, shouldn't it begin within the same city limits?
I'm not sure Wrestling is Cool is shut down or just owned by the BDK now. The Colony was fired and I think Gavin was too.

There is Tursas and only Tursas. No other assumes helm. No interest in acts or plots of others. If you seek for Tursas this is lone contact.

Could he have been one of the minions introduced by Dr. Cube at the Wrestling Is Awesome shutdown? Sinn Bodhi/Kizarny didn't bring the Batiri with him to destroy Art; eyewitnesses said that those same minions were at both shutdowns.All the above begs the question as to whether the Gekido really were the perpetrators of the Wrestling Is Intense shutdown.
