About Steel Chair Daily

Steel Chair Daily is Joe Rumberger's independent wrestling desk at Rummy Tech Forge, with its own name, art, and corrections policy.

Steel Chair Daily is an independent fan site about professional wrestling. Joe Rumberger publishes it for Rummy Tech Forge. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to WWE, AEW, or any other promotion. Show names and wrestler names are used so a reader can tell which card is which. The trademarks belong to their owners.

The site is its own brand. Rummy Tech Forge also publishes a sports-picks project at a different address. That project is not this one. The type, the colors, the illustrations, and the voice here are built for a news and analysis desk. Nothing on this site is a picks ticket, a betting slip, or a house graphic from another property.

What the desk publishes is narrow on purpose. A show card lists announced matches and says when the list is partial. A results recap lists finishes a source actually printed. An analysis piece or an explainer can argue, and it has to mark the argument as an argument. A wrestler profile and a title history stick to facts with citations, and they leave gaps where the citation is missing. A fiction piece wears a banner, uses CreativeWork schema, and says “in this fiction” on the invented beats. Those types are defined exactly in the content spec so a later drop can add a file without inventing a new kind of page.

The clock is Eastern, because that is the clock the television cards use. The editorial timestamp for this build is October 28, 2026. Pages say what was true in the sources read that day. They do not silently update themselves. A new card is a new file or a revised file with a new updatedDate, and it has to pass validation before it deploys.

The art is original pop-art: halftone, ink, masked archetypes, chairs, referees, blank plates. It is not a photograph of a wrestler and not a company mark. Alt text says it is not a likeness. If a later illustration pack replaces the masters, it replaces them in the slots named in the art direction, at the same aspect ratios.

A reader who wants the rules before the matches should start with the standards, then the corrections log, then a single results file. That order makes the labels mean something before a winner does. The desk would rather ship late than invent a date to look complete. The editorial standards are the rules. The corrections log is where a wrong factual line gets a date and a source. The calendar is the front door for the week. If you only read one long piece, start with the champions file or the road map. Both will tell you what was cut.
