Tournament 73: Summer Grand Slam - Round 4

With September's Night of Champions V looming on the horizon, it was fitting that seven of the eight advancing Summer Grand Slam fighters were former Undisputed Champions! Only Politics broke the pattern, escalating his Summer Olympic Silver Medal duo feats to a new level of solo success! He's been fighting to honor his fallen comrade Menas, and is sure to do him proud when he enters hostile territory in tomorrow's Quarter Finals!

Politics will face ElJobber, who came face-to-face with his aptly named 2015 soldier: Corrupt MINION! As one of several corrupted souls making up "Lucifer's Ladder", MINION helped his master destroy the KFL sub-league. ElJobber showed no loyalty or mercy toward his former pawn, delivering a devastating +21 impact! A brutal defeat that returns Corrupt MINION to an uncertain future.

"The Predator" TonyTheTiger's future seems much more certain. His expected win over Division 2 Champion Benjamin came with hard hitting impact, and further cemented him as an emerging favourite to win Tournament 73! He'll face what could be his greatest test in the Quarter Finals - 2016 Mid-Year Grand Slam winner Ratt looking to make it back-to-back Grand Slam Tournament wins after a good win over Artanix! He's the greatest of all time, but TTT is in rare form!

Royal Roulette winner Hokey has been an emerging contender to the Undisputed Championship, and may be the second favourite to win Tournament 73. He faced down old nemesis VenoMark, earning a solid win in the best match of the round! It sets up a compelling grudge bout against The Great Genku, whose pre-title shot paranoia fuelled August conflict between The Invasion and The United in the lead-up to All-Star Summer Showdown! Hokey will finally be able to justify Genku's fear - but who will channel their aggressions to make it to the Semi Final?

We'll find out tomorrow, when United: Mimik also comes face-to-face with the reigning Undisputed Champion DECEPTION! The champ risks embarrassment by competing in the grueling tournament format. For Hall of Famer Mimik, it's an opportunity to remind everyone he's a former Undisputed Champion! An incredible Quarter Final line-up - tomorrow!
