Another great Duo Division Championship main event at Pre-Show 93: Reconnecting...!
I've always loved the idea of seeing the tandem titles main event a Supercard, but the circumstances just never seem to be right. Nothing will be bigger this weekend than VenoMark/Damo II, but Pre-Show 93 was proof positive that it could happen with the right teams involved.
"The Invasion" CCShadow & Scott-Howell are really impressing me with their ability to adjust to and stay ahead of high-level challenges. I've expected The Pacific Connection to overwhelm them in both of their matches this month, but they've made me a believer. I don't think we've seen the last of Oozaru & Banging in the title picture, but it's starting to feel like CCShadow & Howell could be the latest benchmark team.
The 2017 Fighter For Europe tournament had its appeal this weekend, despite a depleted line-up. The added presence of greater British representation gave this year's event an interesting focal point, and a source of tension. It was a surprise to see "Brexiteer" Liam reach the final. A little less shocking that Chromatose claimed his third Fighter For Europe crown, appearing in his fifth consecutive final.
There are arguments to be made about Chromatose's dominance of the European event, but when its all said and done, I always appreciate the thrill of wondering who might rise to the challenge. Dez-Burnett nearly took Chromatose out early. Zentile was a wildcard, fighting on the edge. It's never easy to predict how well Nephrite will perform now that his conditioning is less regular.
The Division 2 Championship title shot Fighter For Europe winners receive may need to be looked at. I wasn't disappointed to see Poasty secure a confident win at Pre-Show 93, though. This is the one that needs to stick. I'd like to see Poasty rack up defenses into the Summer to really establish a good run. Jerrod won't make it easy. That match and plenty more coming this Sunday at Supercard 93: The Chosen. It should be a great event! Stay tuned for more updates throughout the week.
