Weekly Rankings Recap - 7/24/2016

A big win at Royal Roulette pushes Hokey up the ranks with a title shot in his pocket - and The United at his back! The Great Genku lost his Undisputed Championship shot at the last minute [7/22/2016], but cemented himself in the All-Star Summer Showdown picture with another #1 Contenders win against The_Purple_Bunny! The man who took the shot - 2015 Royal Roulette winner VenoMark - couldn't convert his July fortunes into a title win this year.

As noted: The United were the big stunners of Royal Roulette! Over the course of the thirty-fighter Battle Royal they completely rearranged their organization! Shoe was the first surprise - returning early from his June injury. TonyTheTiger made it impossible for Shoe to join his teammates, but their conspiracy never the less shaped the conclusion of the match! 2016 new management DArqueBishop was relieved of his duties in the most heinous way as Pre-Show 81 recruit Mimik, fired member Hokey, prodigal son Mime, and United stalwart Artanix formed a four-man coalition against him! It was then a three-way contest to see who could do the most damage.

Hokey can now cash-in his Royal Roulette win for a shot at the title of his choosing, at the time of his choosing - but he'll find a crowded arena in the coming weeks!

The 2016 Summer Olympic Games begin with the Opening Ceremony on Friday, August 5th and will run until August 20th! This will force Pre-Show 82 to come around early - taking place this Sunday, July 31st! The Olympic Games will then stretch across two weeks of competition! Monday Night Invasion will run uninterrupted during this period. Only the August 5th edition of Friday Night Fights will be cancelled. August 10th marks the 14 anniversary of ICWW and will see the annual Dead Or Alive event take place as an Invasion Special!
