In the tradition of the very first Grand Prix Show, Pre-Show 77 was to be the stage for a massive one night event in Tournament 65! An eclectic mix of thirty-two teams assembled for the chance to shine one week before The Great Arena showcase of Ultimate Grand Prix VI!
For some teams, it was a long awaited opportunity, while others came together for the first time! Unknown265 & Menas forged an unlikely tournament alliance -- both of them missing their usual partners, mwgrant0 and Politics, respectively. Jauger & PaganFreak found a common goal in a tournament union as well, both hoping to join The Alliance in their fight against The Invasion - which they did in a First Round victory over MattHardy & Ghrimm! It was bad news all around for The Invasion, with Jericho & Zengeance going down to the break-out combination of McDaniel & fraysol! Their months of hard work appeared to pay off as they stunned everyone by fighting deep into the Semi Finals!
Slightly less surprising, but no less impressive - The Corrupt duo of UlcaTron & hydraslash proved they don't need saving when it comes to fights. Their Semi Final berth ended in a comprehensive loss to 3-time Duo Champions Pink_Ranger & Ghostdragon in a clash of factions! The Corrupt seemed to take their loss to Guardians of The Crow pretty personally. An echo of animosity between their respective leaders?
When it came down to the Grand Finale, it was a fitting meeting between two of the greatest Duo Division rivals of all time! Reprising the grudge bout from Ultimate Grand Prix V: CCShadow & Scott-Howell stepped up their game, using their history to reverse the fortunes of Pink_Ranger & Ghostdragon! CCShadow & Scott-Howell comfortable in their victory over the 2016 Grand Prix Show tournament -- which also secure their very first tournament title in a long career as a combo!
Riding the high; CCShadow & Scott-Howell bet their tournament victory against the house and came up trumps! They'll be inserted into the Duo Division Championship match at next week's Ultimate Grand Prix VI! There, they'll face the challenge of top contenders "The New Generation" Baraka_MK & Onryo and the dominant Hall of Fame Champions: Marz & Violent`J!
