Championship World Tour: South America

It began at the end of 2011, when the 7 Masters were to gather for a special Boxing Day event,  December 26. When the mysterious Second Master ("Wind") failed to enter the arena, Tournament 10: The Masters Series took on new context, delivering TonyTheTiger to the self-assumed status of Master upon victory over ElJobber. Subsequently, "Master" TonyTheTiger found himself confronted by the eldest surviving member of the 7 Masters and founder of the Cheev Fu discipline, Grandmaster Wah Hung-Shen! The Supercard 19: Battle Royale 2012 feature match saw TonyTheTiger suffer a punishing +10 defeat -- harsh, but not nearly the fullest extent of the power the Grandmaster could have exerted!

Humbled; TonyTheTiger is shown that becoming a Master means much more than simply winning one tournament and assuming the title. Stripped of the false claim, TonyTheTiger finds himself in a position as top contender to the Undisputed Championship, but seeks greater guidance from the one true Master. Cynical about TonyTheTiger's potential, Grandmaster Wah Hung-Shen challenges the would-be "champion" to travel the world, face its many styles, and be consumed by them. Thus; after defeating The_Purple_Bunny at Pre-Show 20: The Ground Floor, "The World Warrior" TonyTheTiger begins his Championship World Tour, offering a shot at the title to the best fighters from the four corners of the globe!

The Champion's World Tour Diary:
Leaving The Great Arena behind, I began my journey in South America.
Murdoink has long been a proud representative of the region and I looked forward to having the likely opportunity to fight him. I have heard he will return to The Great Arena on the 19th, to compete in a Tower of Power event for the Duo Division Championship. Perhaps he will have the honor of being the first holder of both Championships. He has worked hard and deserves those belts. I will try to give him a good fight as preparation.

I encountered more fighters than I anticipated during my travels through Mexico and Bolivia. I did not expect to encounter one of the exiles of The Great Arena. I am sad I will not have the opportunity to fight them again, but that is their choice. Celeste has become a truly impressive fighter. While in Mexico, she recounted her impressive victory over my old rival, ElJobber, during Tournament 11. He has changed a lot since our early battles in Tournament 2. I am sad he feels the need to punish his opponents in his "MAX Damage Boot Camp."  Celeste did well to beat him in the tournament, and did well to kept him to +7 in their rematch at Pre-Show 20. I am told he may be waiting for me when I arrive in Australia at the beginning of March. I hope I will be ready.

I arrived in Chile on the 15th. I was right, Murdoink is eager to challenge me for the Undisputed Championship. I am looking forward to my first defense. The Grandmaster tried to discourage me, but I know I am ready for this fight. This will be the beginning of his World Warrior test. I will not repeat the mistakes of the past. I will prove myself worthy before I call myself "Champion." I am ready.
1. "The World Warrior" TonyTheTiger (c) d. Murdoink (CHL) in a +18 destruction!
With official sanctioning from The Union of the Human League; the Championship is defended outside The Great Arena for the very first time! Despite being scheduled to compete in Tower of Power IV a mere four days later, Murdoink is unable to pass up the opportunity to challenge for the greatest prize in the league -- the Undisputed Championship. Just three days after winning the title, TonyTheTiger faces the daunting prospect of the shortest reign in history. Alternatively, after a stretch of four champions who were unable to defend the prestigious title, "The World Warrior" has the opportunity to restore the chase -- even if the calibre of his opposition is subject to speculation.

TonyTheTiger had endured a close fought match against The_Purple_Bunny at Pre-Show 20. Apparently reinvigorated by his victory -- not to mention the thrill of rising to Grandmaster Wah Hung-Shen's scoffing challenge -- TTT showed no signs of the fatigue expected mere days after his title win! Murdoink, on the other hand, carried the scars of a gruelling 2011. Unable to muster his best, Murdoink was hopelessly outclassed in singles competition. The Duo Division specialist suffered a punishing +18 impact as TonyTheTiger reconfirmed the dominance of his rise to the top of the solo league. Murdoink will want to recover fast! Partnered with Baraka_MK, the Chilean warrior will contest the long sought Duo Division Championships at Supercard 20: Tower of Power IV, entering the legendary format at #6!

With his first successful defense registered, TonyTheTiger is able to continue his Championship World Tour quest! The World Warrior next enters Argentina, before making his way across the sea to the continent of Africa! What exciting new challenges will await him?
