Archibald Peck Has Been to 1909

Jervis Cottonbelly, born in the 1880s, is all about the finer things in life. Gentlemania, as he calls it, is a movement geared towards bringing manners and decorum into a savage art like wrestling. However, during one of his expositions of said Gentlemania, he may have given a crucial clue in the time rifting that has caused all the panic and mayhem in the Chikara universe. First glance of that picture of Cottonbelly standing next to an old-timey bicycle from 1909 shows the friendliest wrestler in the world posing calmly and happily. Looking closer into the background though? THAT'S MARCHIE ARCHIE!

We know Archibald Peck was knocked into the past at Chikarasaurus Rex last year by Eddie Kingston, as referenced by this video. However, either Peck was in the past for longer than he let on, or maybe there were other Backfists to and from the Future that sent Peck ping-ponging back and forth through history. Of course, the more one time travels, the more chaos that person causes. The hornets' nest may have only been superficially uncovered at Aniversario.
