On May 20, the world said goodbye to wrestling great "Macho Man" Randy Savage and hello to life after The Rapture! In response to these tumultuous events, we announce an special unscheduled tribute event! Macho May 29 will be The Rapture and The Madness in the first ever special event!
Everyone with a touch of madness will gather in The Great Arena for a series of exciting, special one-time matches! Cr0w defends the Undisputed Championship in a controversial macho battle with the biggest bad guy in the ranks; mega powers collide as good friends Kron and Ratt face-off in a rare one-on-one encounter; ElJobber and Toryn will continue their feud and attempt to capture the undercard magic of Steamboat/Savage; and many more as fighters pay tribute and fight for a shot at glory!
PLUS! I want everybody to freak out, freak out! In a special trio of opening matches, the Barons of Lord Mislukking return to do battle with the fighting faithful of The Great Arena! You'll be agape as ZachAngel, rxvt and Politics attempt to fight back a plague of War, Pestilence, and Famine!
For one night only it's a tower of power, too sweet to be sour, insane list of amazing feuds and fantastic battles! A special event like no other, The Rapture and The Madness!
12. Cr0w (c) d. Mimik & Shoe in a stunning three-way blockbuster defense of the Undisputed Championship!
A controversial, but elementary defense of the Undisputed Championship turned into a legitimate struggle for Cr0w when he found himself faced with two opponents in this very unusual special match-up!
It was only two weeks ago that Shoe seemingly cut short the rising challenge of Mimik in an extra-arena attack. The exploitative assault earned Shoe the ire of the competitive ranks and the audience alike! Keen to pay tribute at this Macho May special, Mimik has fought his way back to life, to be inserted into the unique situation of a three-way Championship match, with as much potential to be a public hanging as a changing of the guard!
The momentum of his return was certainly with Mimik! He took the fight to both opponents, forcing Cr0w to rise to a challenge he almost certainly wasn't prepared for! On the back foot, the Champion set his sights on the weak link, unleashing a domination on Shoe that resulted in a stunning +18 impact! The assault was enough to bring Cr0w back into the fight, making it an even one-on-one clash between old allies! Rallying his might, Cr0w was able to repel a Mimik who showed converse signs of fatigue in the later stages of the battle.
The impressive win made this much less an exhibition brawl, more a true endorsement of Cr0w's return to the Championship! A worthy second defense for the Champ, he now faces the prospect of rewriting history as the first man to successfully defend the title for a third consecutive time! He won't have to contend with Shoe anytime soon -- Public Enemy #1 likely to face-off against Mimik in the near future, given that the beatdown he suffered came primarily from Cr0w. Mimik vs Shoe is sure to be one of the blockbuster main events coming June 19 at Supercard 8!
11. Kron d. Ratt in a solid victory.
A collision of mega powers had The Great Arena in a flutter as these two awesome figures paid tribute to their Macho/Maniac counterparts! Currently billed as #1 contender, all eyes were particularly on Ratt, with this match makign for a preview of any eventuating clash between he and reigning Champion, Cr0w!
Kron, may have exited the contender stakes for the time being, but was not about to go easy on Ratt despite being a moral ally and good friend! In a true explosion of powers, Kron came close to full force, attacking with the intensity he has sometimes lacked in his recent meetings with arch-rival, Cr0w. "The Iron Man" Ratt, on the other hand, reprised the fading spark he seemed to show at Supercard 7, where he competed to a disappointing result in his first encounter with Kron, under three-way conditions.
Beloved as the "heart" of The Great Arena, it may have been a touch of reluctance that coloured Ratt's performance in both battles with pal, Kron. Some may speculate that it's the heavy workload that has finally taken its toll on Ratt, however. Despite the "explosion" theme of their battle and the intensity of the attack, both fighters showed great regard for each other in the end, delivering a modest conclusion to a fight that could've been far more brutal! Despite the win, Kron raised Ratt's hand in triumph, endorsing his candidacy as the next challenger to the Undisputed Championship! An awesome sight for all in attendance!
10. ElJobber d. Toryn in a +4 decimation.
At Supercard 4, ElJobber faced daunting odds against a man he had never beaten, and after losing that shot at Championship glory on the grandest stage of them all, you could've forgiven him for giving up. Like a real Macho Man, however, ElJobber bounced back at Supercard 6 to see the better end of a +7 decimation against Toryn!
Looking to defend his 2-1 history and improve upon a string of defeats, Toryn hoped to summon a little machismo of his own! The chemistry between these two rivals could not be denied as they attempted to recreate the exhibition of some of the greatest fights ever seen. The contest would not be close enough to be quite as electric as the mythic likes of Savage/Steamboat, but never the less reminded that there is still great depth to the upper echelons of the fighting ranks! ElJobber emerged victorious with a noteworthy +4 impact, staking his claim to any future battles for the Undisputed Championship!
9. Genku d. Hokey in a decimation.
Since returning to life, Genku has shown he only has regard for one thing in The Great Arena -- himself! In a never-before seen rematch of the Tournament 1 Semi Final, Genku looked to pick up a little extra credit against fan-favourite fellow contender, Hokey!
Hokey has found himself a dominant staple of the duo division alongside Ninja_Mime, but would be alone with his fortunes against the menace of Genku. He must've wished his partner were there, though, as Genku commenced a whooping! The former golden boy of The Great Arena had little luck as Genku unleashed a decimation, his fortunes extending only so far as his ability to endure a tolerable +2 impact! Hokey lives to fight another day, while Genku lives only for himself and his pursuit of the Undisputed Championship.
8. DECEPTION & Onryo d. Liam & nif.
With an undefeated streak of two, nif welcomed Liam in to the fighting ranks! Friends, allies, partners, the pair couldn't have picked a more fine time to debut in the duo division, facing steep odds against rising tandem DECEPTION & Onryo under the mutual appreciation of the Macho Man!
A couple of Macho Men despite their limited credentials, Liam & nif managed to pose a fair challenge to the as-yet undefeated duo of DECEPTION & Onryo. Despite having a much less personal connection to build upon, D&O had the fundamentals to overwhelm their less seasoned opponents, relying on a foundation of hard work to guarantee victory. Liam & nif may have been underwhelming in their first appearance, but will surely find the time to reappear in the near future to improve their stock!
7. Ken d. STEROLIZER in a comprehensive +3 impact.
Ken has seen some bad luck in recent times, notably going down as the first shock elimination from Tournament 5 -- the very event where STEROLIZER finally broke the mould with unprecedented back-to-back victories! This reversal of fortunes made what was once a joke of a feud into a very interesting prospect as they reprised their role as enemies for this special Macho tribute!
Known for his misproportunate ego, the Macho STEROLIZER could have invited a rapture upon The Great Arena with another victory. Fortunately, Ken was not about to allow that to happen, despite looking underdone by his once over achieving standards. Faced with an old enemy, STERO produced a vintage performance, handing Ken the keys to victory before he even needed to reach down to find the power to secure a +3 impact in this comprehensive victory.
6. DaMo d. DigbyRigby in a comprehensive result.
Funky like a monkey and appreciative of the Macho Man's heyday, these two unique competitors made for an intriguing match-up. Intent on increasing his powers in the lead-up to the special event, DigbyRigby had undergone a training-borne transformation, but against a DaMo who is sitting on the verge of the unofficial top ten, could it be enough?
The answer was, surprisingly enough -- no. In a truly intriguing match-up, the intensity of DigbyRigby's work-out regime may have let him down, resulting in a less than impressive showing. The comprehensive victory lends DaMo a little extra push moving forward, while duo division partner, DeathScepter, sits ten on the unofficial contender rankings!
5. SmokeRulz d. SubMan799 & NightHawk in a narrow victory!
Having emerged as one of the heroes of Tournament 5 in a Great Arena coming-of-age, SubMan799 would enter the unique situation of a three-way battle with favourite status and a lot to fight for! Hovering near death, he was the battered veteran to relative newcomers, SmokeRulz and NightHawk!
In an evenly matched triple threat line-up, it was indeed SubMan799 who looked to be the strongest in the early goings. The unique make-up of the three-way fight, however, conspired to turn the tables as SmokeRulz took the fight to his opponents, taking out NightHawk before rising to the challenge of SubMan799! It was down to the wire in a blockbuster finish as SmokeRulz made it a 50/50 spread in his win/loss records, impressive in an upset victory!
4. Pink_Ranger & Ghostdragon d. Porygonix & xtactics.
After her loss at Supercard 7, Pink_Ranger has eyes for a grudge bout against CaTigeReptile, but as part of the special 'one night only' format, she reunites with Ghostdragon for a chance to improve upon an underwhelming duo record!
Porygonix & xtactics enter the bout favourites, despite having fared no better in their brief time amongst the duo division. Pink_Ranger & Ghostdragon finally found the chemistry lacking in their previous two outings, delivering a defeat to the favoured Team Kron combo. Porygonix & xtactics showed some of the inexperience that is often forgotten due to their individual overachieving, but remained competitive. It's a bittersweet conclusion for a team apparently destined for separation, but what the future might hold for the overdue winners remains to be seen!
3. Ares Menschlich d. ZachAngel in a +14 decimation!
The spiritual leader of the fighting faithful, ZachAngel had by far the tallest order of the trio. Ares Menschlich is both an instrumental figure in the foundation of the organized combat league and the aptly nicknamed Baron of War! Rarely challenged by even the most powerful fighters in The Great Arena, it was a daunting prospect for the relatively unseasoned ZachAngel! He was left agape at the terrifying assault presented to him, by far the most devastating display of any of the Rapture-insipred undercard, despite a result that conclude with only a +14 impact! War complete the hat-trick for the Barons, but no Rapture eventuated.
2. Praga Conquette d. rxvt in a +13 decimation!
The fighting faithful went 2-0 in their second attempt to fend off the Rapture in battle with Lord Mislukking's Four Horsemen! rxvt had the unenviable task of battling a traditionally unregarded combatant in Praga Conquette. The Baroness of Pestilence has struggled to measure up against the upper echelon of competitors in The Great Arena, but with a knack for bringing out the worst in her opponents, she flourished against the scaled down strength of rxvt. Though the battle proved just as devastating for rxvt, Conquette was only able to execute a +13 impact from her total decimation! A chilling reminder that all of Mislukking's fighting Barons are a threat to anyone ill prepared!
1. Bez Busshitsu d. Politics in a +16 annihilation!
The first Rapture-inspired undercard bout proved to be the most brutal! Bez Busshitsu, Baron of Famine, has shown remarkable staying power in his frequent battles in and out of The Great Arena, establishing a power base far greater than anyone could have expected. Politics was at the absolute mercy of Famine, impotent in the face of an elemental threat! A +16 impact left Politics worse for wear, but the scale of this combative annihilation had the potential to be far greater! A small blessing for the fighting faithful in the first of three exhibition bouts!
The standard schedule resumes as Macho May gives way to a jam packed month of super-fights! Next week the cards will be finalised as we count down to June 12's Pre-Show 8: Queen's Court Rules ahead of the blockbuster June 19 showcase, Supercard 8! All the fall-out of Supercard 7 and more will unfold as two of the biggest cards in histroy unfold!
