Hall of Fame legend Ratt returned to claim the second Grand Slam Tournament of his career, but it was his post-victory speech that dropped the biggest bombshell on an unsuspecting audience! He leveraged the win to place record setting Duo Division Champions Marz & Violent`J on notice - issuing a challenge with NightHawk for August's All-Star Summer Showdown! If they continue to carry the titles through July, that could mean they defend against the only team to ever defeat them in The Great Arena!
The Duo Division was also impacted by the shock Day 1 defeat of Menas! With Politics, he had been one of the bright sparks of the Duo Division, earning four wins at last Sunday's Supercard 80: Tower of Power XVI! A major derailing for a pair who broke deep into the Top 10, last week!
In the major ranks, Tournament 68 had minimal influence. There weren't a lot of shocks in this tournament - an unusually balanced affair, where the favourites had the best of things. Invasion heavyweight Hokey made the most of things, breaking back into the overall Top 10 with his competent Fourth Round exit.
Lone upstart DeathScepter may not have shaken up the rankings, but with his Quarter Final defeat of The_Purple_Bunny, put himself at the forefront of speculation about the now disputed Division 2 Championship! Similarly, Semi Finalist "The Fallen" LordSkarlet made a major case for his contention for the KFL Championship!
