Full Pre-Show 74 Card Has Supercard Implications

A #1 Contenders match and a Championship battle join the full card for this weekend's Pre-Show 74: The Long Hard Road!

After a couple of strong individual performances during the 2016 Grand Slam Launch: mwgrant0 & Unknown265 will meet "The United" Shoe & Artanix to determine the next team to take the test of Duo Division Champions! Hall of Fame pairing "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J established a stranglehold over the titles with their win last October. They've claimed a string of victories over some of the best teams in the league - but they haven't faced either of the competing teams!

The Duo Division will feature prominently at Pre-Show 74, relaunching with a total of seven 2-on-2 matches announced for the card. The other six feature grudges spinning out of the solo Grand Slam Launch tournament, headlined by new sensations Jammer2Omega & Porygonix booked against Alliance interlopers "The Superfriends" The_Hurricane & AlbertBeefcake! Hurricane eliminated Porygonix in the First Round of Tournament 63, but it was a decision of bookers to test the two white meat combos who bare no ill will. J2O & Pory are still much more focused on gelling as a team, while The Superfriends are saving their animosity for The Invasion!

There'll be much more malice in the Division 2 Championship match! The battles of the past few weeks will culminate in a three-way title match between intersecting rivals Sekktor, Zentile & Murdoink! Only one can walk out with the Div. 2 title! The winner will defend the gold against Tournament 63 Semi Finalist Benjamin at Supercard 74!

No further clues on who Damo will face in his Battle Royale Qualifying match. All of the already speculated names remain viable options, but the reasons for the mystery opponent - no clearer.
