They may have gone a massive six matches deep into the Challenger 7 phase of Tower of Power IV (February 19), but in 2012, it has been the solo aspirations of Pink_Ranger and Ghostdragon that have taken precedent.
Both were featured in the year-end Tournament 10: Masters Series -- a round robin open exclusively to the highest ranking fighters at the end of the first year. That individual success continued into 2012 at Tournament 11: Year Two Begins, where Pink_Ranger redeclared herself as a top prospect, delivering +14 impact against The_Purple_Bunny in a Third Round shocker that led to a Semi Final appearance!
Sideways conflict took Pink_Ranger the long way toward Championship contention, defeat at the hands of her former Duo Division partner responsible denying her a place in Battle Royale 2012, at Pre-Show 19: Battle Royale Qualifiers (January 15). During that time, The_Purple_Bunny was able to consolidate previous performances into an Undisputed Championship winning performance at Supercard 19, where he became the first title winner of 2012, defeating The Great Genku. The Long Hard Road would eventually and inevitably bring Pink_Ranger back to a focused approach; Supercard 21 delivering a hotly anticipated grudge match with The_Purple_Bunny, who had recently lost the top belt (to TonyTheTiger), and appeared to be a vulnerable target for would-be contenders!
In a reversal of fortunes, TPB dominated Pink_Ranger at SC21 in a belated, comprehensive response to the T11 result. Their tournament rivalry would manage to continue, however, reprised in the Second Round of Tournament 12: Grand Prix Warm-Up! The_Purple_Bunny once again put in a confident performance against Pink_Ranger, progressing to a similarly successful Third Round encounter with Ghostdragon!
The Great Arena will host the first ever handicap match when The_Purple_Bunny is forced to answer the combined challenge of Pink_Ranger & Ghostdragon -- their common enemy enough to reunite the inaugural Duo Division Champions for a competition first! Will their famed tandem prowess be the obvious winning formula in this gross grudge-fuelled mismatch, or will it be the crowning triumph for The_Purple_Bunny on his way back to the top of the League?
It seems UGP continues to deliver at every turn, promising every bit the biggest Supercard spectacular The Great Arena has ever witnessed! Seven main event worthy matches now make-up the mammoth event, with long running rivalries promising a heated affair at every stage!
