The whimsy of the Pre-Show 84: A Lovely Tea Party banner failed to capture the seriousness of consequences and severe action taken during the first of two Pre-Shows in October! The night's events would have significant implications for every title picture as contenders clashed in a double main event, and the KFL and Division 2 Championships were put on the line!
The titular catchphrase belongs to rising Invasion influencer Violent`J. This clownish Hall of Famer has a history of absurdity that belies his cunning and fighting prowess! As one half of the reigning Duo Division Champions, Violent`J is chasing an unprecedented record of 1 full year as champ! His Invasion connections helped prolong the process, but the rise of Ratt & NightHawk at Supercard 83 turned up the heat. VJ struck back, recruiting The Fallen into The Invasion to initiate "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet with a vicious attack on NightHawk. As he's done so many times before, Ratt rose the challenge and called out The Invasion! Unfortunately, Rattamania finally met a force it couldn't steamroll! Violent`J had stipulated that Ratt's challenge had to be a duo encounter of his choosing -- a calculated tactic that allowed he and LordSkarlet to combine powers to devastating effect! Their decimation of the #1 Contenders came with a +7 rated impact that left NightHawk in bad shape -- just one week before Team Xtreme defends their Duo Division titles!
The advantage will clearly be in the hands of Team Xtreme when Ratt & NightHawk enter Supercard 84: Return to the Dark Carnival -- next Sunday, October 9th! An event that we now know will have another intriguing title fight in the main event!
As Runner-Up of the Night of Champions Battle Royal; ElJobber had his sights set on a long awaited rematch with Undisputed Champion DECEPTION. It was ElJobber who lost the belt at Supercard 76, beginning the 2016 reign of The New Generation! To get there, ElJobber needed to overcome the former champ he'd outlasted: Mimik! The one-time "King of the Battle Royal" had thrived in the multi-man elimination match - at least until ElJobber helped turn him against United teammate Hokey! The United bounced back in a supposed show of solidarity during this week's Friday Night Fights, and Mimik kept the win streak going with a confident victory at Pre-Show 84!
Mimik will be the second Hall of Famer to contest DECEPTION's reign at the top when they go head-to-head at Supercard 84! For DECEPTION: it's another challenge of the unknown - one he'll meet with all the confidence of his past victories! Mimik has everything to prove, and with Hokey biding time on his Royal Roulette title opportunity, tension between The United will remain!
No such concern for Statix, who comfortably defended the KFL Championship against Jason_Voorhees in the uninterrupted one-on-one shot he's been chasing since Dead Or Alive IX! He fought well, but The Invasion fighter couldn't overcome The Alliance legend's power positive!
Rising Division 2 challenger ArtemisFlow fared well in an attempt to upset reigning champ "The Secret Weapon" SubScorpTile. A streak of five wins against top contenders brought ArtemisFlow to the attention of bookers. It wasn't enough to propel the Finnish fighter to a dethroning win against the enduring Night of Champions winner.
Be watching weekly events for all the fallout from Pre-Show 84! Then be back here for the first of two Supercard in October! Return to the Dark Carnival will be a festival of uncertainty as United: Mimik challenges DECEPTION for the Undisputed Championship, and Ratt & NightHawk limp into a Duo Division Championship clash with ringmasters Marz & Violent`J on their 350th day as title holders! All this and much more - Sunday, October 9th!
