June 12, 2011 -- Since organized fighting dawned with the construction of The Great Arena, competition has been a man's world. As a new wave of competitors assert themselves as potential competitors, the fallout of Supercard 7: A Bird's Eye View gives way to an uprising of the battling sisterhood!
This is far from a unionist movement! Tensions between the fighting femme fatales began with a spark of disregard as CaTigeReptile looked to climb the mountain on the shoulders of her sisters! In an epic 18-Woman battle royal, Pink_Ranger emerged as the warrior woman ready to fight back! Before the two determine who is truly Queen of the Great Arena, they must first fend off the advances of rivalries earned in the scramble!
It's ladies night as The Great Arena prepares for two main event grudge matches with CaTigeReptile vs kororaa and Pink_Ranger vs Shizuma! Then, a number one contender will be decided as Ratt and ElJobber battle it out for a shot at Cr0w! They will do it under the watchful eye of their lady counterparts, who bide their time under Queens Court Rules!
12. Ratt d. ElJobber in a shock +14 decimation!
Having never faced each other in competition, it was an eagerly anticipated contender bout between two fan-favourites! Both had been there before, but Ratt was the one who was looking to get back the Undisputed Championship he lost to reigning champion, Cr0w, at the conclusion of Tournament 5!
As two of the hottest contenders in the unofficial top ten, it was expected to be a blockbuster encounter. Instead, the bout painted a picture of contrast to the evenly contest battles of the under card, witnessing an utter annihilation of ElJobber as Ratt put in a champion's performance! There could be no doubt that it was a truly feeble ElJobber who entered the contendership struggle, but that could take nothing away from Ratt's performance, punctuated with a stunning +14 impact that sent ElJobber packing!
Despite the shockingly weak performance, ElJobber will be expected to court an Undisputed Championship match in July against the winner of Ratt/Cr0w! He will need to do some serious recovery, because the men who will contend at Supercard 8 are setting the standard of competition in The Great Arena with truly phenomenal performances!
11. CaTigeReptile d. kororaa in a solid win.
Not to be outdone by her rival, CaTigeReptile was convincing in her close fought battle with Supercard 7 Battle Royal rival, kororaa. Unlike Shizuma, kororaa was unable to fight above her weight, but that didn't stop a fatiguing CaTigeReptile offer her rival a tease at victory!
Kororaa had been right at the centre of the boiling sisterhood squabble, one of CTR's original callous eliminations way back during the Battle Royal of the biggest show of the year, Supercard 4: Ultimate Grand Prix! She now progresses to an eagerly anticipated SC7 rematch with Pink_Ranger -- June 19!
10. Pink_Ranger d. Shizuma in a confident victory.
It was at Supercard 7 that Shizuma really asserted herself, following her T5 debut with an impressive Battle Royal performance that took her to the final three, eliminated by eventual winner, CaTigeReptile. While it was CTR that officially took her out of the bout, it was Pink_Ranger who proved a fierce rival, engaging in several stints of hard combat!
Alas; while they had been incredibly well matched during the 18-woman Battle Royal, it was a rare decisive victory for the Pre-Show 8! Pink_Ranger showed no signs of slipping as she battled ahead, maintaining the momentum that has her skirting the periphery of the top ten unofficial contenders! An impressive warm-up for her Supercard 8 rematch with Battle Royal winner and the woman who started the conflict, CaTigeReptile!
9. Scott-Howell & Murdoink d. Porygonix & xtactics
Ever recognised as a fan-favourite "original" duo, Scott-Howell & Murdoink looked to add further dimension to the duo division in a clash against a couple of fighters lurking under the radar, Kron's apprentices, Porygonix & xtactics!
It was once again a surprisingly close battle as the winless pair fighting from the remnants of Team Kron put in a solid performance against a slightly under strength Scott Howell & Murdoink. The Sugar & Spice tandem had enough to remain on the top of the duo stakes, but Porygonix & xtactics are sure to be a threat as the duo ranks continue to mingle!
8. Ken d. SmokeRulz
Down on his luck since an upset loss to Chiefin, at Tournament 5, Ken has been going back to basics. The impromptu opportunity of The Rapture & The Madness gave him opportunity to exact a win over old enemy, STEROLIZER, but it was here his first test since the tournament was to be staged!
Relative newcomer, SmokeRulz, showed no signs of intimidation against the stalwart warrior! Continuing the trend of close battles, SmokeRulz rose to the occasion, fighting well beyond his brief time in The Great Arena! Ken looked steady as he returned to the winners list, earning a straight forward, clean win, but could take little confidence away from such a close call against a relative newcomer! With a rematch against Chiefin waiting around the corner at Supercard 8, Ken will have mixed feelings heading in to June 19!
7. Casselman & SubMan799 d. MINION & Jerrod
In a bout booked to bolster the growing duo division, tensions were present as extra-arena feuding between Casselman and MINION added a fierce dimension to this somewhat one-sided clash. With SubMan799 riding high since his upstart performance during Tournament 5, the more experience duo were overwhelming favourites. Even so, MINION & Jerrod showed surprising competence as a team, continuing a theme of close-fought encounters! Casselman & SubMan799 emerge victorious, but this may be only the beginning of a rivalry between the two teams.
6. m0s d. Tyrant-Cenobite in a narrow win.
Remaining a peripheral contender after the Cr0w-driven action of Supercard 7, it was to be a bit of a warm-up before m0s faced the Supercard 8 mountain of former-champion, Kron!
Tyrant-Cenobite has held mixed fortunes since his infamous pre-match elimination at Supercard 4! A steady string of speculative encounters have failed to tease the identity of his attacker from TC, but helped build him a competitive base that threatened to steal a win from the budding contender. m0s showed real determination in his hard fought win, but will this test galvanize his efforts at Supercard 8, or simply exhaust them?
5. ZachAngel & Angelia d. rxvt & Politics in a narrow win.
They battled the forces of Mislukking's horseman at The Rapture & The Madness special event, but this time the fighting faithful faced each other in a clash straight from Agaperoom! The angellic combination of ZachAngel & Angelia may have lacked the experience of rxvt & Politics, but they clearly had something special boosting them over the line to take a duo victory!
4. Ghostdragon d. unixpunk
Struggling to maintain a position within the organized ranks, Ghostdragon had everything to fight for against forgotten upstart, unixpunk. unixpunk famously made a name for himself as one of the surprise eliminators of Battle Royale 2011, but had suffered a similar fade-out as what threatens Ghostdragon. Fortunately for GD, he was able to follow-up a successful appearance at The Rapture & The Madness special with a conclusive, if competitive outing. In the minds of some, Ghostdragon remains one of the underrated fighters of The Great Arena, but his routine difficulty to rise to the challenge means it's a tenuous reputation that will keep him on the card.
3. Artanix & foahchon d. Leroy & Mark
Having spent a good deal of time out of the spotlight, Artanix & foahchon looked favourites in their clash against a debuting Leroy paired with extra-Arena colleague, Mark. The first-time pairing showed solid grounding as a duo, but were facing a steep experience curve against the born-again Artanix & foahchon. A well earned, but contested victory puts Artanix & foahchon on the winners list in the growing duo division!
2. plfx d. Simon in a close fight.
A fight for respect spurred Simon into battle, bouncing off a string of unanswered defeats. Nothing Simon said could quash the competitive fire that delivered another victory to relative newcomer, plfx!
1. JimmyJunk d. Piccolo in a close fought battle.
It was a promising start for Piccolo who made his debut in the Pre-Show opener. JimmyJunk is no legend of The Great Arena, but it was clearly that sliver of experience that gave him the edge against his debuting opponent. A close fought battle set the stage for a string of hotly contested bouts!
Everything comes to a head June 19 as competition reaches breaking point! Pressure mounts as the fierce feud between Pink_Ranger and CaTigeReptile culminates in a massive one-on-one encounter sure to produce a top contender in the unofficial ranks! Ratt charges out of Pre-Show 8 with a lot of confidence, tackling a Champion who hopes to set a record in number of successful defenses, Cr0w! PLUS! Supercard 8: Corporeal Punishment sees the official return of Mimik, who will seek a little justice against the main who killed him, Shoe! And the duo division's top two teams go head to head in a massive encounter! Do not miss it!
