A Bushel of Apples

I keep wondering - why apples? Of all the fruits they could have
picked, why apples? And why make them so important? There aren't
many references to apples in Chikara.
There's the Flying Apple, which is a Colt Cabana move.
It could be a reference to NYC - The Big Apple. Kaiju runs shows
there. But Chikara's only had a handful of Manhattan shows:
9/11/2011: "Martyr Yourself to Caution"
12/4/2011: "Joshimania: Night 3"
5/20/2012: "Aniversario: The Ogg and I"
11/18/2012: "The Cibernetico Rises"
And I found this rather dark (and now ominous sounding) blog
from last August by Quack:
8/8/2012: 17, ordinarily, I regret being the bearer of bad news,
but since it’s you, I don’t mind: You are in for some very
unpleasant surprises in the midwest, next week.
Unpleasant Surprise # 1 - Jigsaw is not Burt Ward. He is the
only man in CHIKARA history to have won the Young Lions Cup, a
Cibernetico, a King of Trios and held the Campeonatos de
Parejas. In a fair match, he is more than you can handle.
However, I am well aware that fair matches and GEKIDO are not
exactly common bedfellows.
So if by some chicanery, you manage to squeak past Jigsaw in
Milwaukee, we will be waiting for you and your partner The Shard
the very next day in the Egyptian Room of the Old National
Centre.
I have won and lost some 3 dozen championship titles in the last
19 years. I have won and lost tournaments. I have won and lost
against virtually every one of my wrestling idols. This is all
part of the game for me. I respect the game. In that regard, I
am a good sportsman. But what is not part of the game for me is
watching as my trainees and proteges are eliminated one by one
by a stupid thug who has an issue with me. Not an issue with
Dragonfly. Not with Tianlong. Not with Fire Ant. Not even with
Jigsaw.
On June 2nd, I warned you personally, in the ring, as your bones
snapped in my grip. And in case you weren’t wise enough to
spread the word to your teammates, I reiterated my message on
the Event Center:

I am not the kind of man that makes idle threats, 17. I don’t
think you are, either. Which brings me to Unpleasant Surprise #
2.
You are quick to point out in your blog that I do not intimidate
you. I suppose because, unprepared for you as I was in Vaughan,
Ontario, injuring my wrist came easily to you. And you are
correct in that it is not 100%. Nor will it ever be again. The
surgery it would require would end my wrestling career. My
physical therapy is over. 70% is as good as it will be for the
rest of my life.
Come for my wrist. Come for whatever legacy I have built. Come
for the company you think represents all the ills and injustices
of your life. Come to remake CHIKARA in your image. Better men
than you have tried, 17. And like them, you will fail.
Too many times I have watched men like you kick in the front
door of CHIKARA and declare it theirs as if it is an apple ripe
for the picking. Mark my words masked man: that apple is the
forbidden fruit.
It is not the referee, nor the Director of Fun…once that bell
rings, 17, I am the law. I am the Master of a Thousand Holds. I
am a wrestler the class of which you cannot begin to comprehend
and I am tired of playing the sportsman while goons like you and
your friends trample over what I helped build up. I am the law
here, and if I choose to break the law as I break your bones,
there is nothing you or your “raging," “wrathful" group can do
about it.
Another bite of that apple will prove more than you can chew.
LMQ
(I added the bold. The last line sticks with me because it
matches so well with the image of Wink eating the apple at the
end of NC.)

Yeah, that definitely sounds like foreshadowing. I really wish
he was talking about Wink in this so we could specifically tie
Quack to everything that went down - although it's possible that
the GEKIDO played a larger part in the CHIKARA fall than was
revealed.
