Friday Night Fights (July 29, 2016)

Since January, Damo has taken to calling himself "The Chosen One", and on Friday Night Fights it seemed to make perfect sense! He was supposed to be answering the grudge match challenge of the man he put on the shelf for a month: United: Shoe. Instead, it turned into a three-way melee when another rival chose him for a grudge fuelled encounter: VenoMark!

Still stinging from his Supercard 81 title match loss; VenoMark launched himself furiously at arch-rival Damo -- leaving Shoe the unlikely odd-man out! The vitriol stems from their on-going feud, which has seen multiple grudge matches and attempts at sabotage, including a battle on FNF two weeks ago. That match helped VenoMark secure his title contention, but he now blames it for adding an unnecessary extra drain on his powers! That drain meant Damo was able to fend off the assault, taking VenoMark out with a +7 impact, but the distraction was enough to leave him completely vulnerable to a reinvigorated Shoe! A good win for the returning fighter who was left to fend for himself thanks to his teammate's distraction!

Recently re-recruited members Hokey and Mimik were treated to an unexpected ambush from #1 contender Genku and Loopster! The odd-man pairing from Monday Night proved to be more than a one night affair as they ambushed The United with the surprise beat down! Genku could be heard shouting "Try to screw me now, you stupid son of a bitch!" as the pair fled like thieves in the night. With Hokey's Royal Roulette win guaranteeing him a title shot of his choosing, it makes sense that Genku helped Loopster with his problem, in exchange for help with a man who could take his All-Star Summer Showdown main event opportunity.

Loopster may regret dividing his attention this weekend when he enters an Eliminator match for the KFL Championship! The previously announced Pre-Show 82 headliner will also feature arch-rivals ShawnMichaels and Shen_DuHBK! They met in one final showdown before the title fight, The British Invasion finding the advantage over Shen_DuHBK's Italian alliance with giandavil! Fellow Brits Liam & nif weren't so lucky, attempting to challenge top ranking Duo Division pairing Jammer2Omega & Porygonix.

The man they call G0LD found fortune as he picked up the first win of his career. The exciting new acquisition made an impact with his debut at Supercard 81, even though he couldn't pick up a debut win against Division 2 Champion avenger45. Random Royal Roulette competitor Ottis was no match for the hot new star. Double eliminator Miller was also too good for Royal Roulette #1 entrant DemoniaX.

Remember: Pre-Show 82: Heat Up Scramble takes place this weekend in an early preamble to this year's All-Star Summer Showdown! It's all due to the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, which begin with a special Opening Ceremony presentation - next week! Friday Night Fights will take a one week hiatus for the August 5th special, which will reveal the international teams competing at the Games!
