We say it all the time and it's never been more true: What a difference a week makes!
After Pre-Show 88: The Long Hard Road it looked like The_Purple_Bunny might not participate in Battle Royale at all! He scored a second-chance qualifying win during Friday Night Fights - and now he's on the path back to the main event of Ultimate Grand Prix! It's arguably the last major accolade he had to claim in his title-laden career. A very worthy winner!
Battle Royale was a make-good for Poasty, as well. You couldn't find a better Division 2 Champion in 2017! The comeback story is finally over and now it's time to see what he can do as champ. There are a lot of major threats lurking in the Div.2 ranks right now, with former champs SubScorpTile and Benjamin trending strong. I don't think United: Murdoink will go away quietly. There are also some newer faces assembling on the horizon. Guys like Shinnokxz, G0LD, and even MKMaster!
The United arguably had a worse night than the "nightmare" of Battle Royale 2016, but they won't walk away from their three championship loss too dejected. Shoe & Artanix were scintillating in their dismissal of DaemonX & Banging - a team who looked so dangerous last year! Mimik, Mime and Murdoink may have relinquished the solo gold, but none of them was embarrassed. The team is looking more stable than ever, especially if talk of The_Purple_Bunny joining the team pans out!
Will it be a rematch of the Ultimate Grand Prix IV main event come April? It certainly seems to be trending that way! ElJobber is absolutely on fire! That's two years in a row now he's won the Grand Slam Launch and the Undisputed Championship in January! There are at least half a dozen serious threats to his title between now and UGP! It's gonna be one helluva ride!
