Continuing a tradition begun at last year's Grand Prix Show; thirty-two teams from the Duo Division assembled for a one-night elimination bracket! Tournament 79 would serve as a very special prelude to the action of next week's Ultimate Grand Prix VII!
With several high-profile teams torn apart by injury during the year, and others saving themselves for UGP, it was a unique opportunity for some of the less well known tandems to feature under the big spotlight! Each team was entered into a random draw, but it was clear from the start that experience would be the key a the 2017 Grand Prix Show!
Throughout 2016 Jammer2Omega & Porygonix have measured their progress against "The New Generation" Baraka_MK & Onryo. It seemed as if the two teams could be destined for a Grand Final showdown, but neither pairing's path was at all predictable! Round 2 produced one of the most shocking results of the event when The New Generation fought to a tie against Mark & Leroy! The resulting double elimination meant J2O & Pory would surpass their rivals, beating Politics & Menas and Tower Of Power XVIII breakouts Jason_Voorhees & edge!
"The Fallen" Sekktor & hydraslash had made a splash at Tower of Power, too. Yet they found themselves surprised by the might of "Brexiteers" Liam & nif! The win gifted the longtime Brit pairing a bye into the Semi Final where they overwhelmed good natured dark horses McDaniel & fraysol! At the same time, J2O & Porygonix found themselves running out of luck in a hard fought battle with newly rechristened "Invasion" CCShadow & Scott-Howell!
There were echoes of the 2016 Grand Prix Show as the veteran Brexiteers met CCShadow & Scott-Howell in a highly intriguing Grand Final! The New Invasion made it back-to-back wins in a UGP Season already dipped in deja vu after DECEPTION's win in the 2017 Grand Prix Warm-Up! They set themselves up nicely for a high-profile spot at Ultimate Grand Prix VII, but it won't be in the Duo Division Championship match, this year.
Next Sunday the Duo Division Championship will be embroiled in a bitter grudge match when Ratt & NightHawk return to settle the score with the most dominant tag team in the history of The Great Arena: "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J! It'll be a battle for gold, pride and immortality on the biggest stage of them all: Supercard 91: Ultimate Grand Prix VII!
