Ok, I'm just going to go through this all one time, for myself. There's going to be nothing but repeat info for long time posters. Maybe I'll add it to the next FAQ, I don't know. But here is the Chris story.

Chris Regal was a poster on a TNA message board, TNA Asylum. He was originally known as "Shelbin", a combination of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin's names. Chris did not like how TNA Asylum was being run and attempted to start his own TNA fan site. His first attempt failed, but his second, TNA Mecca, succeeded. He did not start it by himself, enlisting two fellow posters, Big Dawg and MisterTNA, to be co-founders.

Mecca ran from August of 2013 on, mostly built around discussion threads and the occasional opinion column or interview. Somewhere along the way MisterTNA dropped out, leaving Chris and Big Dawg to be the sole two men behind the site, as well as the only two moderators of their message board. Chris was by far the more active mod, and had a love hate relationship with it, his site, and TNA as a whole. He obviously enjoyed being in charge, giving temporary bans and threats of such, and loved leading discussion as well as shaping it, frequently telling posters that they were being too negative. Chris though was also prone to dramatic mood swings when he disliked something about TNA, at times threatening to shut down the site or stop watching the product. These down swings generally never lasted more than a few weeks, and were often only a few days.

Chris was a private person. A former poster/columnist JH Chase has said that Regal was not Chris' last name, based on seeing a different listed last name in an email from him. Big Dawg, the man on the site closest to Chris, who considered him a close friend, never saw so much as a picture of Chris. One poster, Bret, did meet up with him at a New York TNA event. Chris was said to be in his late 30s/early 40s. He was an openly gay man who occasionally would share an anecdote about his dating life, including a time that an "angry queen" threw an orange at him. He enjoyed wine and 80s music. He volunteered to help Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign during the democratic convention. That's about all we know.

Chris stopped posting for a few days in January, and then Big Dawg informed us that he had passed away from cancer. Chris had told no one in his online community, not even Dawg, that he had cancer. Dawg did say that he was in contact with Chris' family, and that Chris had set aside money for the TNAMecca domain to be paid for annually well into the future.

Some time later, someone posted under Chris Regal's account, just randomly saying hi. This shocked everyone, here, on Mecca, even Big Dawg, who was not expecting it. We were quickly informed that this was Chris' older brother George. Rather than start his own account, George was posting under Chris', complete with his name, avatar, and moderator status, which seemed to include powers that even Big Dawg didn't have access to. After a couple days of brief conversations, George said the reason he was there was that Chris' sister told him to thank everyone for the kind words. George claimed to have known about Mecca before Chris' passing but said they never talked about the site. He claimed to not be a wrestling fan, at least a modern one, but started watching Impact in the months before Chris' death.

George became a poster on Mecca, at first sporadically showing up once every week or two, and then slowly becoming somewhat more active. He at one point said that while he was not posting every day, he was reading Mecca every day. He never got his own account, but the displayed name was eventually changed to "George", and the avatar picture was changed from Chris' chosen one to something different. Due to how Disqus boards work, all of Chris Regal's old posts became listed as being written by George. His posts were often very short and practically pointless, consisting of hellos, good byes, very brief opinions on Impact, and questions about who a wrestler was. He generally ignored capital letters, talked in courser language, and had a poor grasp of spelling and punctuation, a stark (Perhaps too stark) contrast to his brother Chris. George said that his nephew wondered where his Dad was, revealing that Chris had a son he never referenced once.

Eventually, George started getting bolder, telling Junkie (A poster who is Mecca's favorite whipping boy, who gets ribbed by everyone in a somewhat affectionate way, but especially by Chris in the past) that he had "really grown some balls" since Chris died. This seemed to perplex a lot of people, including Big Dawg. George after all	had never posted on	Mecca ever until after Chris' death. After this period George apologized but things started to get a little more tense and George started to get more opinionated.

Finally, George came on before an episode of Impact and asked if everyone was going to be unfairly negative about the show. Pre-complaining about people being too negative about an episode of Impact was something that hadn't been seen often since Chris died. It was something Chris loved doing, as he would frequently browbeat his posters for not being as positive or negative as he was on a given day. On this day George pre-complained, a poster got into a slight sarcastic tiff with George, who responded by getting pretty angry and doing some fairly aggressive name calling. George apologized again and signed off, and within hours Big Dawg came on and said that George's behavior was not acceptable.

Hours after that, the user name of George's account had been changed back to "Chris Regal", and the avatar picture had been changed back to	Chris' old on as well. Big Dawg came on	and said that Chris' sister had taken away George's right to post and changed everything about the account back.

So, taken all at face value, Chris Regal died, never told even his closest Mecca friends he was dying, but set Mecca up to be paid for years into the future. Chris' sister then tells Chris' brother to post on Mecca and thank all the posters for well wishes. Chris' brother, who had never posted on Mecca while Chris was alive, used Chris' account rather than make his own, and began to become a bigger and bigger Impact fan, going as far as to read PWlnsider. As Chris' brother seems to become more and more like Chris, he gets on people's nerves. Finally, after having a public tantrum, within a matter of a few hours, Chris Regal's sister, who has never posted on Mecca, who sent Chris' brother to post there rather than post herself, somehow had and used the power to lock George out of Chris' account and change all of the account information to how Chris had left it.

This is what we're supposed to believe. That two siblings of Chris have gotten this involved with his former WRESTLING MESSAGE BOARD, yet no one has been able to go to Disqus and figure out how to give Big Dawg the absolute mod powers Chris' account has, or even ownership of the domain name. We're supposed to believe that George became a big fan of Impact, not in the years when his brother had an Impact message board, but during the months leading up to his death, and became an even bigger fan after he died. We're supposed to believe that he somehow magically knows that Chris would be ashamed at certain posters, and that others have gotten cockier since Chris' death, even though he didn't post before Chris' death. We're supposed to believe there is a sister who has power enough over Chris' account to block George from using it, yet had to send him to thank everyone on Mecca in her stead in the first place. No. I can't anymore. It's not impossible, but added all together, it’s not as likely as Chris Regal faked his death and couldn't stay away.
