The Tournament 64 Quarter Finals were laden with gold thanks to three reigning champions vying for the coveted added accolade of a Grand Slam title! A rare moment in a UGP Season that's already made a lot of history!
Ironically, it was the meeting of two beltless former Undisputed Champions that set up the match of the round. ElJobber had succeeded in taking the title from Hokey during January's Battle Royale, riding high off the back of his Tournament 63: Grand Slam Launch victory! The opportunity for payback too sweet for Hokey, who managed to wrestle out a win in a hard fought battle! It brings Hokey one step closer to a restorative face-off with arch-rival DECEPTION -- something that will surely please The United's new management!
Reigning Undisputed Champion DECEPTION was on point in his non-title encounter with reigning KFL Champion Banging! The champ once again validated his decision to compete in the Grand Prix Warm-Up ahead of his Ultimate Grand Prix title defense against Battle Royale winner Kron! The Invasion's golden recruit crumbled under the awesome assault of the league's top dog!
In an intriguing Quarter Final rematch from Tournament 63: United: Shoe managed to rewrite history, reversing his Grand Slam Launch fortunes with a contested victory over current Division 2 Champion Benjamin! It was a much closer encounter than their January affair, which Benjamin took out with a +4 impact. The switch provides The United a rare opportunity to send two fighters to the Semi Finals, setting up a possible all United final battle! Getting past "The Hitman" will be a big ask for Shoe, however. Could the magic of The United's new management get him over the line?
Much more favourable will be the odds of Hokey, who meets The Alliance's AlbertBeefcake in the Semi Finals. The tournament newcomer bested "Silent Assassin" Ghostdragon in a match that left little to chance, but didn't spell Grand Slam Tournament winner. AlbertBeefcake will have his work cut out for him if he's to overcome the veteran tournament experience of the other three finalists!
