Late last year The Invasion controlled a war torn arena, but that all changed on the fateful night of December 19th, when their enemies combined to deal a devastating blow!
The United were there to boldly declare the cancellation of Monday Night Invasion -- replacing it in 2017 with their own plan for the weekly Monday Night Games! The United's championship gauntlet of power was broken at Supercard 88: Battle Royale, leaving them vulnerable to a return strike. The Invasion regrouped to come to Pre-Show 89: Control II to fight for domain over Monday nights!
The Invasion led with recent hot shot Shen_DuHBK, but it was The United who scored the first elimination when Murdoink reversed his fortunes. Loopster jumped into the firing line with the former Division 2 Champion, eating a hard shot. He was able to chip away at Murdoink in an epic brawl, evening the tally at 1-1. Former KFL Champion Mime exploded into the match with a double elimination, dominating both Loopster and Grayback! With his team trailing, Banging jumped in to work down Mime, and then evened the score at 3-3 with an impressive elimination of Mimik! He sunk a deep shot on Artanix, but the reigning Duo Division Champion was able to overcome the fatiguing fighter -- leaving only Invasion leader DaemonX! For a moment it looked as if it might come down to a sudden death face-off, but Artanix rallied to single-handedly lay claim to a follow-up defeat of last month's Duo Division Championship challengers!
The win ensures The United will continue to hold weekly court with their Monday Night Games! The fourth week of the new regular programme returns tomorrow. Be here for all the fall out! Also be watching for developments concerning next weekend's Supercard 89: Breaking Point!
The Invasion didn't fare much better in the undercard: Jason_Voorhees & edge found themselves locked in a hard fought, drag-out rankings battle with KittyKat & JoelKatz. The two teams seemed remarkably well matched, but in the end, it was KittyKat & JoelKatz who emerged supreme. "The Fallen" LordSkarlet & Corrupt hydraslash also put some distance between themselves and The Invasion, fending off a challenge from TripleH & WilliamRegal! The exact status of The Fallen's relationship with The Invasion has been unclear, with LordSkarlet's defeat in the Invasion Election now subject to an official review amidst allegations of vote tampering!
Porygonix notably brought Benjamin back to the Duo Division at Pre-Show 89, issuing a grudge match challenge in response to his Round 3 elimination from the 2017 Grand Slam Launch! There was an obvious home ground advantage for Pory and Jammer2Omega, but Benjamin showed some good chemistry, reteaming with Mo2 for the first time in quite some time. They put up a respectable performance, losing in the gentlest way possible.
In one of the most shocking results of the night: MercWithMouth's attempt to score payback against his Battle Royale eliminator Scott-Howell cost him dearly! It didn't take much to destroy the hopeful Duo fighter. A +5 impact a pale shadow of what legendary pairing CCShadow & Scott-Howell are capable of! The stunning defeat adds the third name to the Injured List for 2017.
