The Invasion want to expand into the race for the Undisputed Championship, but to do so, they have to elect a viable contender. Invasion figureheads have divided preference between two major recruits: "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet and The Great Genku. On November 30th, the powerful faction will officially make their decision -- and one is campaigning hard to be the choice!
Genku is leaning heavily on his proven credibility as a two-time Undisputed Champion, questioning LordSkarlet's ability to contend with the league's top fighters. He points to his own win over LS during the October 3rd edition of Monday Night Invasion, as well as the Supercard 84 annihilation LordSkarlet suffered at the hands of Hall of Fame legend Ratt. Not that Genku was quite so complimentary...
The petitioning Invasion fighter went so far as to call Ratt a "has-been" who LordSkarlet ultimately defeated only with the aid of the dreaded Steel Cage.
Indeed, LordSkarlet stunned everyone when he took Ratt off the board with an unexpected win at Pre-Show 85: Rage in the Cage! The scintillating victory came after he'd already forced Ratt & NightHawk to withdraw their challenge for the Duo Division Championship. In the eyes of Invasion figurehead Violent`J, and many others, this was a compelling argument for LordSkarlet as contender.
Genku claims he doesn't care who's calling the shots at the top of The Invasion. He's with them, but won't be told what to do by any one. He simply thinks it's a choice between success and failure at the top level, claiming it's a fact that no one within The Invasion's ranks can do what he can - win the Undisputed Championship.
Critics may view Genku's account of things as a case of "alternative facts". Indeed, Violent`J himself is a former Undisputed Champion - proving there is at least one other fighter capable of winning the title. Will that be enough to sway opinion against Genku?
The Invasion decides their championship candidate next week - November 30th! Be here next Wednesday to find out who The Invasion will back, and review each fighter's Invasion record here.
