Supercard 89: Breaking Point

The looming promise of Ultimate Grand Prix adds a heightened sense of pressure to The Great Arena! Accusations weigh heavily on would-be champions. Divided loyalties tug at corrupted souls. History beckons to the mighty fallen - threatening to engulf the new breed. Desperation for glory pushes men to extremes. Supercard 89 could only be the Breaking Point for all!

14. VenoMark defeated Genku (c) in a comprehensive non-title attack! [+5]
Genku's championship celebration was cut short when VenoMark stormed back into the arena. With electoral fraud accusations still hanging over him, VenoMark attacked Genku's credibility and dared him to fight! Genku didn't want a bar of it, but VenoMark kept prodding until a fight had to happen one way or another! With no agreement for the Undisputed Championship to be at stake, the pair went into overtime with a brutal brawl! Exhausted from the match he'd just fought prior, Genku could not compete with the fresher man. VenoMark left the champ "lying" in the centre of the arena -- a double entendre he prayed upon. As the event came to a shocking close, VenoMark called Genku a false god -- and he'd proved it by making him bleed!

13. Genku defeated ElJobber (c) in a comprehensive win! [+1] [Undisputed Championship]
The moniker of "Invasion Contender Elect" was left behind as Genku marched toward destiny in the main event. The controversial November Election may have helped cement Genku as a contender, but it was arguably his win at Supercard 88: Battle Royale that earned him the shot at the Undisputed Championship. Awaiting him was a fighter with unparalleled momentum! ElJobber secured the Undisputed gold after winning the 2016 Master's Series and 2017 Grand Slam Launch back-to-back! With an unblemished record for they ear, ElJobber cut an imposing figure. Ironically, it may've been the distractions of an official investigation and voter data leaks that helped insulate Genku from the enormity of the situation. With every odd stacked against him - he set out to achieve the unthinkable! With everyone watching in stunned silence - Genku did exactly that! He was decisive in his assault against the champ. It was reminiscent of the precision strikes he ordered late last year, focused on a single opponent, for a single objective. Few fighters have desired the Undisputed Championship as intensely, and for as long, as Genku. In an emotional display, he finished the job many thought he couldn't - or shouldn't. With ElJobber defeated, he raised the Undisputed Championship for the world to see! The moment of validation was short-lived, however. Genku thought this guaranteed he'd face United: The_Purple_Bunny at Ultimate Grand Prix, but there was still another act to follow...

12. "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J defeated "The United" Shoe & Artanix (c) in a solid victory! [+1] [Duo Division Championship]
When "The United" Shoe & Artanix entered the arena at Supercard 87: End Of Days - nobody really expected it to be the end of Team Xtreme's historic 420 day Duo Division Championship reign. It was the feather in The United's cap that helped them dethrone The Invasion as master's of Monday Nights. It seemed as if it would be a new era, but the fun and games ended when Violent`J arrived on February 6th to issue a rematch! Nobody was quite sure what to expect from another highly anticipated encounter. While some thought The United had Team Xtreme's number, others felt it was just a fluke. The truth lay somewhere in between -- a UGP caliber match erupting in the semi main of Supercard 89! The Hall of Fame tandem were highly motivated, but The United were not going to give the titles up without a fight! It was a hard hitting showdown, but in the end, Team Xtreme hit hardest! The air seemed to be sucked out of The Great Arena as Shoe & Artanix reached their breaking point. Marz & Violent`J are once again the Duo Division Champions, beginning a new reign that will come with massive speculation about the year ahead!

11. United: Mime defeated "The Predator" TonyTheTiger (c) [+1] [KFL Championship]
As time passes, it becomes increasingly difficult to remember who started what in the bitter feud between Mime and the KFL Champion: TonyTheTiger. The momentum swung in The Predator's favor at Supercard 88, costing Mime the championship he won at New Year's Resolution. Having fought to help The United secure control at Pre-Show 89, Mime wasn't an obvious favourite heading in to his championship rematch. He was able to draw confidence from the team victory, bringing his A-game to the vicious encounter. The Predator always comes to fight, but Mime was explosive - unloading everything he has to re-secure the KFL Championship! A well earned victory!

10. "The Chosen One" Damo defeated "The Hitman" DECEPTION [+1]
They clashed during the Third Round of the Grand Slam Launch, fought for qualification at Pre-Show 88, and mixed it up during the forty-fighter Battle Royale match. The highly anticipated battle between DECEPTION and Damo did not disappoint, producing a heavyweight collision worthy of the Undisputed Championship! DECEPTION clearly had his scope set on taking the self-proclaimed "Chosen One" down, but the "Hitman" was confronted with a moving target! When the match reached breaking point - Damo kept on his winning ways. 2017 proving to be a good year!

9. Oozaru & PaganFreak defeated "The Invasion" DaemonX & Jauger in a hard match! [+1]
Mind games plagued Banging at the end of 2016, tearing his loyalties between manipulating factions of The Invasion and British Exit. DaemonX struck back at Pre-Show 86, tapping in to mental torture inflicted in the days of ICWW to ensure Banging's ultimate return. PaganFreak emerged an unlikely advocate for Banging, pledging to fight for his soul with a Duo challenge designed to obviously deal with PaganFreak's underdog status. Those who suspected an Alliance fighter, or even Grayback, were treated to a massive shock when his unannounced partner turned out to be Oozaru! The Hall of Famer infamously walked out on PaganFreak last May - refusing to fight his old friend and Pacific Connection partner Banging! Last seen as a surprise entrant at Battle Royale, it seems Oozaru has been convinced to come to PaganFreak's aid once again! He was the perfect antidote, as well, helping overcome DaemonX and his surprise partner - PaganFreak's former Alliance teammate: Jauger! Will the return of Oozaru have the desired effect? It remains to be seen!

8. Poasty (c) defeated G0LD in a solid win! [+2] [Division 2 Championship]
A string of confident victories placed the fighter known as G0LD back on the Division 2 contender's radar. His short career has produced a number of noteworthy results, but it was his January 30th win over former champion Murdoink that earned him a Championship opportunity. For Poasty, it would be the perfect test of his newly reclaimed title -- a belt he's famously never defended in two reigns! Firmly back among the fighting ranks, Poasty showed how much the Division 2 Championship means to him. G0LD proved to be a worthy challenger, but Poasty was able to rise to the challenge! Poasty was gracious in victory, shaking hands with G0LD before celebrating his first recorded title defense! Another triumph for the fighter who very nearly left it all behind!

7. "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet defeated Sekktor in a comprehensive win! [+5]
The Corruption of hydrslash occurred all the way back in the middle of 2015. As a part of "Lucifer's Ladder", he helped bring about the end of the Kombat Fight League. His unholy masters have long since relinquished their influence, but the rise of LordSkarlet as leader of The Fallen has kept the darkness in his soul alive. Sekktor once counted hydraslash among his friends, and after a series of distractions took him away from his friend's plight, he vowed to renew his efforts at Supercard 87 and 2017 New Year's Resolution. Fighting hydrslash face-to-face had failed, so he turns his attention to the "American Nightmare". It was a match he was never expected to win. A futile effort to have some effect. An act of desperation. LordSkarlet comprehensively shut down every single attack Sekktor tried. He tried to convince Sekktor that it was pointless - that he'd failed. That he had fallen. Still Sekktor tried to fight - never giving up. He suffered for his hubris - finally put down by LordSkarlet.

6. "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile defeated Banging in convincing fashion! [+2]
When The Invasion began a series of precision strikes against the fighters of the union, "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile led a Koalition of willing fighters to stop them once and for all. The End of Days she ushered in brought about the downfall of The Invasion, but on January 23rd, the faction regrouped to reveal a lingering presence in The Great Arena. Back among their ranks, Banging was to be the instrument of revenge at Breaking Point. The Kiwi sabre did his best to strike at the hear of The Guardian, but she remained steadfast in her domination of the sinister group. They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but if PaganFreak could have his way later in the night, it would be a meal Banging will never have to feast on.

5. "The New Generation" Baraka_MK & Onryo defeated KittyKat & JoelKatz in a solid win. [+1]
The early parts of 2017 have proven to be a breakout period for KittyKat & JoelKatz. The classic duo have earned a string of victories and were ready to put themselves to the test at Supercard 89. "The New Generation" Baraka_MK & Onryo remain the gatekeepers to the peak of the tandem competition. The Katz proved they have what it takes to hang with the best, but there was no denying the superior firepower of The New Generation.

4. AlbertBeefcake defeated Shen_DuHBK in a revelatory narrow victory! [+1]
Questions have surrounded the November Invasion Contender Election ever since the bombshell allegations of December. AlbertBeefcake has pursued his investigation ever since, interrogating fighters and combing evidence. Old suspicions brought him back to WilliamRegal during this week's Friday Night Fights, but another fighter caught his eye on that night - Shen_DuHBK. Under the hot lights of Supercard 89, Albert attempted to interrogate The Invasion fighter. The "Red Cyclone" put up a strong fight, but in the end, the Rar Scene Investigator was able to subdue him. With the match over, Shen_DuHBK whispered something to AlbertBeefcake that left the veteran speechless.

3. United: Murdoink defeated Loopster in a solid victory. [+3]
At Pre-Show 89, the battle for control over Monday Nights turned into a personal war for Murdoink and Loopster! The 5-on-5 Survival Sequence began in The United's favor thanks to Murdoink, but when Loopster entered the fray for The Invasion, the team battle became an epic struggle between two individuals. They collided like two evenly matched bulls, only for Loopster to chip away until Murdoink could fight no more. Eager for reprisal, The United fighter reveled in the chance for a fair one-on-one fight. The battle was competitive, but a fresh Murdoink proved too strong.

2. Politics & Menas defeated "Brexiteers" Liam & nif [+1]
Together, Politics & Menas have been establishing themselves as major players in the Duo Division, but during Tournament 77, Menas showed he's a solo force to be reckoned with, as well! A Round 1 victory over nif propelled him into an impressive run. "Brexiteers" Liam & nif were eager to settle the score and further their goals to conquer the Duo Division ranks. They fought well, but Politics & Menas earned a well deserved Supercard victory.

1. VenoMark defeated United: Mimik in an utter destruction! [+17]
"Breaking Point" was a fitting name as VenoMark opened Supercard 89 with a passionate display of fists and fire! He gave Mimik absolutely no time to gain his bearings- launching directly into a rush attack that completely bamboozled the Hall of Famer! The United fighter had absolutely opportunity to find his way into the match, leading to a quick, devastating finish. It was a validation of sorts for VenoMark, whose past victories against Mimik led him to issue the frustrated challenge. Nobody could expect the significance of the match and its timing until the end of the night...
