Supercard 75: Tower of Power XV

It is the diabolical structure that has the potential to turn the league on its head! No event matches the Tower of Power for the degree of opportunity -- granting seventeen fighters the chance to win the Undisputed Championship in a single night! The only catch? You've got to earn your way to the gold!

At Supercard 75: Tower of Power XV, there was an added element of mystery! Only five of the eleven Tower of Power fighters was revealed ahead of time. At Pre-Show 75, only two Challenger 7 fighters were chosen in qualifying. It was always destined to be a special night. Just how special - nobody could have predicted!

The Tower of Power:
30. ElJobber (c) d. "Hitman" DECEPTION (#4) in convincing fashion! [+1] [Undisputed Championship]
Four impressive victories had brought "The Hitman" DECEPTION to the spot he'd been chasing for two years! In that time, he and ElJobber had had their share of confrontations. At All-Star Summer Showdown 2015, ElJobber had the better of The Hitman. At Pre-Show 70: Night of Champions IV, Damo helped DECEPTION turn the tables against The Corrupt leader and his ally Mime. He stood alone against "Corrupt Generation" Baraka_MK & Onryo at Supercard 71: Greatness, beating them. His demise the month after completed BMK & Onryo's turn against Lucifer's Ladder, even if they were still Corrupt. His saga had brought him full circle at Supercard 75. He thwarted Hokey, now he just needed to beat ElJobber to become Undisputed Champion. A fairy tale ending nobody told ElJobber about. The Undisputed Champion rained on the parade in an overwhelming performance -- The Hitman unable to extend his phenomenal streak to a fifth and final win. ElJobber retained.

29. "Hitman" DECEPTION (#4) d. m0s (#1) in a solid high level contest! [+1]
In Battle Royale, m0s had asserted his dominance as a 10-man eliminator. He was an early choice to be #1 contender for that fact, eager to return to the main event of UGP the hard way - as Undisputed Champion. m0s fought into the match at a super heavyweight standard, but DECEPTION matched him at every turn! The groundswell of momentum surrounding DECEPTION exploded as he toppled an amazing fourth title contender! After years of being on the cusp - The Hitman had finally earned his right to challenge for the Undisputed Championship!

28. "Hitman" DECEPTION (#4) d. United: Hokey (#2) in a great match! [+2]
It was back at November's Supercard 72: Survivor Sequence - The Payoff that "The Hitman" DECEPTION was put onto the shelf. It was an Iron Man Death Match with arch-nemesis Hokey that cost him his first Undisputed Championship opportunity and a month and a half of his career. Hokey may be coming off a title loss at Supercard 74, but with The United under new management, and his already noted dominance over DECEPTION -- few could've predicted the result that occurred! They fought tooth and nail in a truly bitter encounter, but this time "The Hitman" found his target -- taking Hokey out to the roar of the audience!

27. "Hitman" DECEPTION (#4) d. "The Redeemer" LordSkarlet (#3) in convincing fashion. [+2]
Excitement filled the air as two of the hot new challengers came face-to-face. "The Redeemer" LordSkarlet is well known for his exploits in the now defunct Kombat Fight League, but he stepped up to a new level as the runner-up of Battle Royale 2016! There was a lot of hope and belief that he would keep the momentum going -- but "The Hitman" DECEPTION had his sights set on something special at Supercard 75! In another compelling encounter, DECEPTION fought back the odds to be the first Tower XV fighter to go against the contender rankings -- toppling LordSkarlet in convincing style!

26. "Hitman" DECEPTION (#4) d. The_Purple_Bunny (#5) in a hard fought match! [+1]
Making his long awaited return to solo competition - "The Hitman" DECEPTION had the support of the crowd. He was unlucky in his Battle Royale return, and found himself facing another tough match against the might of The_Purple_Bunny! In an impressive show of guts, DECEPTION was able to snatch glory from TPB's grasp. An amazing, hard fought match -- one that seemed to put The Hitman in a doubtful position in a by-the-numbers Tower!

25. The_Purple_Bunny (#5) d. "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile (#6) [+1]
CaTigeReptile may have fought off one obsessed championship junkie in Genku, but a second was just a bridge too far. The_Purple_Bunny's mad quest for the Undisputed Championship produced one of the great close matches of Tower of Power XV. Some may speculate Damo's earlier Challenger 7 match helped push CaTigeReptile to her limit. Another notch in TPB's belt at "The Chosen One's" expense.

24. "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile (#6) d. The Great Genku (#7) in a convincing win! [+3]
Graduating to #6, Genku no doubt looked forward to getting some payback against CaTigeReptile! "The Guardian" was responsible for eliminating him from Battle Royale - nixing his hopes of a main event title match at UGP. It was all just history repeating as CTR once again played gatekeeper to Genku's aspirations. She shut him down with a surprisingly strong victory. Another bitter pill for the frustrated great one!

23. The Great Genku (#7) d. Mime (#8) in convincing fashion. [+2]
Mime looked bullish in his confrontation with #7: Genku. Eager to get back to the Undisputed Champioship he lost back in December -- Genku found the greatness he earned through 2015 in the twenty-third Supercard 75 match. There wasn't much Mime could do, fighting to a doubtless conclusion against a highly motivated opponent.

22. Mime (#8) d. Knickxasawrrrr (#9) in an utter destruction! [+12]
Bad blood between Knickxasawrrrr and Mime came to the fore as the Tower of Power continued its elimination stage. The pair who were two of the most improved in 2015 had crossed paths in the final days of the KFL - Mime an accomplice in the corruption of Knickxasawrrrr's friend UlcaTron. They came to blows at Pre-Show 74, where Knickxasawrrrr got the win. In a Tower rankings match, Mime was the better [2/19/2016]. Their third meeting for 2016 unravelled rapidly as Mime completely overwhelmed his opponent! Emotion and exhaustion must have got the better of Knickxasawrrrr as he completely capitulated when the going got tough!

21. Knickxasawrrrr (#9) d. King Ken (#10) [+1]
Tower of Power was proving a nightmare for "King of the World" Ken! He did his best to summon a kingly strength against Knickxasawrrrr, but his valiant efforts couldn't undo the bruising he suffered as the first line on the Tower of Power. Knickxasawrrrr launched an impressive attack in a reprisal of his Friday Night Fights role as eliminator [2/19/2016].

The Challenger 7:
20. "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile (#6) d. "The Chosen One" Damo in a domination! [+MAX]
19. "The Chosen One" Damo d. The Great Genku (#7) in convincing fashion. [+1]
18. "The Chosen One" Damo d. Mime (#8) in a total annihilation! [+MAX]
17. "The Chosen One" Damo d. Knickxasawrrrr (#9) in convincing fashion. [+2]
16. "The Chosen One" Damo d. King Ken (#10) in a comprehensive result. [+1]
He believed he was the "Chosen One" of the powers that be that would be gifted a Battle Royale win and the main event title shot at Ultimate Grand Prix. Instead, he was a pawn in The_Purple_Bunny's obsessed quest to reclaim the Undisputed Championship! That hasn't stopped him believing in his own greatness, though. Kept out of contention by a Pre-Show 75 loss to TPB, Damo was highly motivated to climb at least to the middle of the Tower! His rampage delivered MAX Damage to Mime and a convincing win against The Great Genku -- but "The Guardian" of the arena was prepared! Damo's strong style is based on his frequent flexing, but endurance let him down against the final undefeated barrier: CaTigeReptile!

15. The Great Genku (#7) d. VenoMark in convincing fashion. [+2]
14. VenoMark d. Mime (#8) in a comprehensive result. [+1]
13. VenoMark d. Knickxasawrrrr (#9) in an utter destruction! [+10]
12. VenoMark d. King Ken (#10) in very convincing fashion! [+3]
He lost the KFL Championship in a shock Friday Night Fights Open Challenge [2/5/2016], but a path of dominance coming out of 2015 meant the loss merely freed him to challenge the Tower of Power! The former Undisputed Champion and King of the Death Match raised the stakes with a destructive +10 win over Knickxasawrrrr, which continued in the first defeat of Mime for the night! His streak may have been stopped by #7 Genku, but the message was clear: VenoMark means business in 2016!

11. Knickxasawrrrr (#9) d. Banging in a comprehensive result! [+5]
10. Banging d. King Ken (#10) in a solid win. [+1]
The Alliance may have succeeded in keeping two of The Invasion's fighters out of the hunt, but the league council deemed Banging worthy of the Challenger 7! He recently turned on partner Statix [2/5/2016], teaming with DaemonX to invade Friday Night Fights [2/12/2016]. It seemed more likely that Statix would be the Pacific Connection fighter to get this spot, but after Oozaru shunned him this week, he's nowhere to be seen. Banging didn't get far into The Tower, but the saga is far from over.

9. Mime (#8) d. "The Predator" TonyTheTiger in a comprehensive win! [+6]
8. "The Predator" TonyTheTiger d. Knickxasawrrrr (#9) in very convincing fashion! [+3]
7. "The Predator" TonyTheTiger d. King Ken (#10) in a destructive result! [+15]
For months TonyTheTiger has been the lurking threat overlooked by the other championship calibre contenders. Always a danger, he started his Challenger 7 run with a massive +15 impact! It was all or nothing in all of his bouts, but #8 Mime once again stepped up to defend the Tower of Power.

6. King Ken (#10) d. "Secret Weapon" SubScorpTile [+1]
Having picked up surprise victories against The_Purple_Bunny during Tournament 63 and Friday Night Fights [2/5/2016] - "The Secret Weapon" was a natural choice for The Challenger 7. Alas; his feud with TPB, including a revenge bout [2/12/2016] must have taken its toll. King Ken was able to recover from his initial defeats, putting SST out of contention straight away.

5. Knickxasawrrrr (#9) d. The_Hurricane in convincing fashion. [+1]
4. The_Hurricane d. King Ken (#10) [+1]
Recovered from his fight with AlbertBeefcake; Knickxasawrrrr was able to put the breaks on The_Hurricane. Like his Alliance partner, The_Hurricane was more concerned with keeping The Invasion out of the running. He defeated Shen_DuHBK in one of only two Pre-Show 75 qualifying matches.

3. Mime (#8) d. AlbertBeefcake in convincing fashion. [+3]
2. AlbertBeefcake d. Knickxasawrrrr (#9) in convincing fashion. [+2]
1. AlbertBeefcake d. King Ken (#10) in a solid result. [+1]
Legendary ICWW persona AlbertBeefcake got things off to a rolling start. He showed a lot of strength in the early going, but ran into a wall in the shape of Mime! As one half of what remains of The Alliance, he's more than likely not too disappointed. His goal was to prevent Jason_Voorhees getting the chance to upset The Tower -- a task he performed in a qualifying match at Pre-Show 75.
