It's sandwiched between two of the biggest events on The Great Arena calendar -- with a fraction of the pageantry -- but it's fair to say the February Supercard is as important an annual event as the majors that surround it. While the high profile Battle Royale of January confirms one worthy competitor for an Undisputed Championship match at Ultimate Grand Prix -- the defending Champion can still change courtesy of the rare, often times overlooked February opportunity!
Coming out of Supercard 32; two competitors have been chosen to battle it out for the right to challenge the Reign of the DaMo at February 17's Supercard 33: The Long Hard Road (2013). As former Champions in their own right, each knows the adreneline rush of a major event title match. As opponents, each knows the other better than they know themselves. Supercard 29 was to have ended their long running feud, but with the Round Robin Final of The 2012 Masters Series (Tournament 24); Violent`J and ElJobber must do battle one more time!
Worthy of a UGP spotlight; the Pre-Show 33 contender bout will be a main event unto itself, with a long and complicated history behind it! The many grudge battles fought between the two provides but a section of the tale of the tape - measured most accurately by each fighter's achievements of the present day!
"The Y2Juggalo" Violent`J not only springs out of 2012 as the winner of the year-end Masters Series, but also enjoys the accolade of his pending induction into The Immortal Hall of Fame. VJ was recognized for achievements stretching long before his arrival in The Great Arena (at Pre-Show 21: Tower Fallout), dating back to a career in "ICWW" (2002-2004).
"The Iron Man of Conquest" ElJobber earned the People's Choice Award for 2012 Best Solo Competitor, runner-up to his rival in the 2012 Master's Series tournament. As a 2011 Battle Royale winner and 2012 Runner-Up, he was granted instant qualification into the draw for Battle Royale 2013 -- but when he found his random entry number was #1, the former winner was none too pleased. This fact, coupled with his impressive six eliminations and marathon effort of 1 hour 15 minutes 9 seconds, has allowed him to politic his way into contention opportunity.
It was ElJobber who lost the Undisputed Championship to DaMo just forty-five days ago (at December's Supercard 31: Finale - Year of the DaMo). If he succeeds in defeating Violent`J at Pre-Show 33, he will have settled one feud to reengage with a new one! Violent`J will be no less motivated, however -- one of the few surviving members of the invading "ICWW" force known as The Immortals! Violent`J wants nothing more than to crush his arch-nemesis, to taste his blood and the sweet gold of The Undisputed Championship!
