He started out as the evil, mirror-image of Jigsaw, but over the course of seven or so months in 2012, The Shard was able to win over his template. Some may say he corrupted Jig, and it's easy to see why. The duo, dubbed Pieces of Hate, has ruthlessly cut a path across the company like a runaway buzzsaw across a hardwood floor. However, were Shard's motives as part of the Gekido more noble than anyone would let on? Was he really seeing an underlying, tangible evil in the guidance of Mike Quackenbush? There are two sides to every story, you know, and one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. Regardless, Shard along with his partner in crime will get a shot at Los Campeonatos de Parejas on Sunday against Shane Matthews and Scott Parker, the inimitable 3.0, thanks to them collecting four points in their Tag World Grand Prix victory. However, even if they win, will it matter? There's more than a coincidental relationship between the timeline going askew and these bizarro-world mirror images showing up around the same time. Odds are, we'll find out a lot at the Troc.
