Whereas Al Snow) talking to Head or Mankind (Mick Foley) talking to "Mr. Socko" was played for comedy, Kingston's referring to the Grand Championship, and even the wrestling business itself, as "she" or "her" was very much played for drama.

At the 2015 Season Finale "CHIKARA Top Banana" on December 5th, Peck made a surprise return (he had been one of Deucalion (Stephen King))'s victims in 2014) and stole Mike Quackenbush's first edition of the 2015 CHIKARA Yearbook, thus closing the time loop.
