The only thing more surprising than The Pacific Connection issuing a Duo Division Championship challenge this week was that they lost! Oozaru & Banging have been on fire the last month, nd it really made a lot of sense for them to try to get the jump on CCShadow & Scott-Howell coming right out of The Spring Classic! It didn't get them gold, but the match was a UGP-caliber main event that demands a repeat! Good thing they'll be doing it again Sunday, at Pre-Show 93: Reconnecting!
Both teams have a long lineage and a lot of reasons to want to be Duo Division Champions!
Much has been made of CCShadow & Scott-Howell's long hard road to gold, with this being only their second Duo Division Championship reign! For a team so synonymous with The Great Arena it's a surprising fact, even if it should be remembered they had a short-lived dual KFL title reign back in October, 2013. I'd like to see them become the new standard bearers for the Duo Division, but it's very hard to refuse the awesome reunion of Oozaru & Banging!
The Pacific Connection go way back to the ICWW days, where they were legendary rivals to Hall of Fame Duo Division dominators: "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J! The Connection won the ICWW Tag Team Championships on two occasions, at Breaking Point and Highway To Hell, in 2003. They also had a brief, but important stint as Duo Division Champions back in 2012, when they were part of the "Silent Invasion" of ICWW Immortals! The sometimes forgotten reign came at Royal Roulette.
This week's match set a very high standard! It'll be interesting to see if experiences helps them find a higher ceiling at Pre-Show 93! Right now, they're too close to call!
