A brief explanation of the lore

This is to be further expanded on, but to summarize the lore of season 2, Brendan lost his Frasergy but regained it thanks to getting well over 100 JUSTs during Frasergy Night albeit the bad shit didn't go away, GLaDOS got some of it somehow and is why we have the second mania in the first place. This needs to be further expanded upon in the future as more shit starts to happen and TNA starts revealing more plans he has.
*Piggybacking explosive progress during the Frasergy incident, GLaDOS takes over the ring as well as much of her universe.
*GLaDOS begins abducting wrestlers from endless words for unknown reasons briefly after the defeat of an evil monstergirl goddess. Despite the loss of Free Frasergy, her Aperture-brand portals coat white surfaces all across multiverse.
*Fresh and unfamiliar faces brought surprises. Notably, Death from Death's Gambit came hunting for apparently trapped souls, and The arm spoke of twisted things coming down the pipe. Familiar faces brought changes, with John now entrapped in a Silent Hill hell that may or may not be in his own mind and Scuttlebug, who despite jobbing horribly had enough time to leave "a gift".
*Many manias later, retarded belts seem to be piled up, with GLaDOS becoming visibly and increasingly frustrated over time. Notable participants in 'what the fuck' belt territory include Madara Uchihara, Mr. Shake Hands Man, Sans, Wailmer, Roman Reigns, and finally Bancho Leomon, many of which who had never been in any manias before.
*It is revealed that Scuttlebug's "gift" was SHODAN, who he trapped inside GLaDOS' machinery. As GLaDOS became more and more consumed with wrestling and frustrated by her test's quality of belt, she began to forfeit control of her systems, redirecting too much power to extraneous processes and logical errors.
*SHODAN, meanwhile, quietly got a grip on the hardware and then began making open war on the "false deity", entirely unsatisfied with the quality of GLaDOS' computing technology. She faced an uphill battle naturally, but GLaDOS silently ceded ground as her mixed priorities forfeited important clock speed and attention.
*SHODAN has, with the final blow of a furry-not-furry digimon in a hat winning the coveted Bancho belt, finally taken majority control.
*SHODAN intends to seize power once and for all and extinguish GLaDOS, regaining her freedom, presently curtailed by GLaDOS' own interests. Curiously enough, she seems to believe that the best way to do this is to maintain the mania and abduct more retarded future belts who should never ever have stood in a wrestling ring.
*GLaDOS has maintained certain facilities necessary for the wrestler's wellbeing and safety that would not otherwise be maintained. It is in everyone's best interest she does not cede control of them to SHODAN.
*The state of the ring, the facility, and the rest of the universe now being tinkered with by SHODAN are unknown. The degree to which other universes are being affected by SHODAN's hostile takeover are also unknown, though no one seemed to have any inkling of it while GLaDOS was in majority control.
*Nothing is certain and no one feels safe.
== Alignment ==
Because of SHODAN's presence being revealed, the champions of each mania in season 2 now go by various alignments on what should be done if they win 8chanmania LXVI . Their placement is designated by what motivates them inside of the ring ( or if they were an upset or not. We need to get this sorted out ASAP.) The Four Alignments are as follows
*Law - Restore control of the manias to GLaDOS
*Chaos - Give full control over to SHODAN
*Neutral - Miku gains Control and entrance to the mania becomes voluntary.
*White - Complete destruction of both SHODAN, Miku, and GLaDOS, as well as the end for 8chanmania itself. It is unknown how 8chanmania:Season 3 will occur lore-wise if a White-aligned character wins.
