2016 Master's Series - Class A Heats

The December 16 fall of ShawnMichaels ensured it was an anomalous start to the 2016 Master's Series. The #13 fighter's inability to compete meant a unique situation where only three fighters would contest the Class A Heats -- a predicament that played out in the most difficult way!

United: Artanix and The_Hurricane looked like two fighters who'd just fought an entire year when they kicked off the event. The fatigued performances enabled The_Hurricane to eke out a win over one half of the Duo Division Champions. A result that was quickly remedied as Artanix lifted his game against reigning KFL Champion Banging!

The United emerged as a title holding powerhouse from Supercard 87: End Of Days. Their bravado continued on the year's final Monday Night Invasion, where they boldly proclaimed they "cancelled" The Invasion! As KFL Champion, Banging has been The Invasion's hope at the year's close. He lived up to that status, pushing Artanix to the wire in a hard fought match. He couldn't get the much needed win, though. A result that put The_Hurricane in the driver's seat -- the last fighter able to earn a second victory from the Class A Heats!

Banging maintained his competitive level in the third match, earning a solid victory against his Alliance rival. The third result decided with a minimum +1 impact, it meant all three competitors tied with one win each! This forced Class A into a three-way sudden death match, where Banging fell to The_Hurricane in the first elimination. Only for United: Artanix to turn on the magic - dominating the final stage to confirm his advancement to the Semi Finals!
