Supercard 1: Battle Royale 2011!

January 30, 2011 -- It was a surprisingly lowkey atmosphere as the biggest organized competition in #MicksDesk !fight history made it's awaited arrival! The first of the Ares Menschlich Supercards - The Great Arena was set to play host not only to the first defense of Undisputed Championship, but also an epic forty-man Battle Royale to determine the title contender for a future special event (in April).

The Battle Royale was set to be the main event, a randomly drawn bout of forty-men, each entering ninety seconds after the last to enter the melee with the goal of being last man standing. While the draw would be random, it was determined the preceeding week in a special Pre-Show Qualifiers card that nine competitors would be guaranteed entry: Ratt, ElJobber, Porygonix, Ninja_Mime, Genku, DeathScepter, Chromatose, Hokey, & Artanix!

Before the epic contender fight could occur, The Union of the Human League's Undisputed Champion needed to be determined. In a bout bringing together old rivals, Kron stepped into The Great Arena for a second chance at the title belt that eluded him in the grand final of Tournament 2: Quest for a Champion. The man who beat him, Cr0w, had continued to solidify his champion status in a string of unofficial bouts in the weeks that followed.

SuperCard 1 Undisputed Championship match:
1. Kron defeated Cr0w in a surprising comprehensive result!
In the week leading up to Battle Royale 2011, Kron had made himself an elusive figure. With a history of brutalizing weaker opponents to make up for occasional shock upsets, this could've been interpreted as cowardice. Instead, it proved to be the perfect preparation for his rematch against the most dominant force in The Great Arena!

Cr0w became the underdog in a battle where Kron appeared to be bringing his A-game! The Champion was not at all to be disgraced, presenting an attack that would've levelled most other competitors in the arena! It just wasn't enough to stop Kron's comprehensive assault, prematurely ending the dream of a dominant run for the champ! While Kron's absence would be felt after, Cr0w would not yet be finished in The Great Arena...

Supercard plans will see a very special event held in April, where all the players from The Great Arena will be assembled for an epic arrangement of grudge matches and special bouts. At this biggest of battles, grandest of occasions, a contender must match up to the champion who will have been hardened and honed to perfection over three months of competition! This contender will be unchallenged in the build toward April, guaranteed his title fight no matter the champion or circumstance. This contender will have bested thirty-nine other randomly drawn individuals to emerge as the ultimate fighter! This contender will be the winner of the first ever Battle Royale!

2. ElJobber (#33) eliminated Genku (#36) to win the Battle Royale!
The atmosphere was electric as the random draw began, introducing an interesting start point in #1 xxxsuicide-kittiexxx and #2 MINION! Things quickly heated up with the arrival of randomly drawn #4, Ken, who established himself as the first legitimate contender. He eliminated STEROLIZER the instant the #6 competitor entered, sending the first pre-show qualifier, [#5] Artanix, to join him a mere minute later!

The complexion of the match hit it's first major change with the arrival of another of the pre-show qualifiers, #9 random entrant and fan-favourite contender, Ratt! Ratt proceeded to cut through the competition, eliminating Ken with little ceremony! Ratt's elimination flurry also claimed Fires [#11] and ZachAngel [#18], while #15 Murdoink capitalized on his forceful entry into the match, ditching [#12] Torchia and [#17] GuiltyByDesign in quick succession!

#13 entrant, wife_smasher, proved to be a surprise package, harassing many of the competitors in the match, including #26, Scott-Howell, who was assaulted the instant he entered! #30 muttonhead challenged STEROLIZER with an abrupt elimination, lasting just four seconds before #23, Buster, sent him packing with a devastating blow! [#22] ThePredator151 sent out some hard rocking shots, granting Buster another elimination with a knock-out blow to [#16] ThirtyThr33!

#32 produced excitement as Hokey entered the Battle Royale, the beginning of a star studded run that saw other qualifiers and noteworthy names, #33 ElJobber, #34 Ninja_Mime, #35 Porygonix, #36 Genku, and #37 TonyTheTiger! The six joined Ratt, Murdoink, wife_smasher, and [#31] unixpunk in their strong positioning in the bout.

ElJobber set about delivering shocking blows to wife_smasher and DeathScepter, while Porygonix looked good devastating unixpunk and elimating #24 entrant, Vultyrex! TonyTheTiger showed an opportunistic streak, sneaking a string of eliminations in, claiming ThePredator151, #27 Chromatose, and DeathScepter! TonyTheTiger's involvement allowed ElJobber to renew his rivalry with Tony, delivering some hard shots, and delighting in Ratt's attack on his foe, too. Ratt and Genku triggered a rapidfire clean-out with the successive eliminations of [#19] Queequeg, [#38] NovaStarr, and unixpunk!

ElJobber began asserting himself against the remaining legitimate challengers, delivering heavy blows to TonyTheTiger and Ratt. The exchange granted Genku opportunity to eliminate TonyTheTiger from the event, a twist of irony given Tony's delight at Genku's intervention earlier in the Battle Royale! Porygonix rose to challenge ElJobber with a knock-out blow, turning his attentions to Ninja_Mime after that. ElJobber joined in, unleashing a double dose of devastation on Ninja_Mime, eventuating in his elimination! ElJobber and Ratt then tied up, ElJobber getting the better of a fatigued Ratt, who managed to withstand a flurry of attacks, despite his unrivalled duration in the Battle Royale! Genku double-teamed Ratt, delivering a double dose that gave ElJobber the elimination, ending Ratt's stay at a phenomenal one hour, nine minutes, and fifty-three seconds!

With two men remaining, it turned into a one on one slobber knocker between ElJobber and Genku! Genku rose to the occasion, racing into the fight again and again, but ElJobber was just too strong and too fresh. The #33 entrant defeated #36, to end the Battle Royale after one hour and twenty minutes of competition!

After the match, Cr0w returned to The Great Arena to intimidate the Battle Royale winner! Cr0w went on a small rampage, defeating competitors and bystanders in a show of strength that included a +9 impact on tabmok99 -- who has since bowed out of the competitive ranks! Cr0w mocked the credibility of ElJobber's late entry win, making his intentions to remain in the championship picture very clear to an uncertain April-bound contender!
