The stakes were high at Pre-Show 95: Tower Defense as fighters gathered for a Supercard-like event ahead of next week's Tower of Power! Along with four Challenger 7 Qualifying matches, there were matters of the Duo Division and Division 2 Championships to be dealt with!
The tandem titles were in the spotlight once more as "The Invasion" Jason_Voorhees & edge took on teammates-turned-rivals: CCShadow & Scott-Howell! The challengers earned their shot during this week's Friday Night Fights, shaking off pressure from Genku to impress officials. The Pre-Show 94 title rematch showed clear signs of improvement as The Invasion brought the fight to the champs! The tantalizing possibility of a title change was in the air, but CCS & Howell were able to find off the strong offense of their opponents for another day.
All eyes were on Challenger 7 Qualifiers early in the night. Intrigue surrounded MKMaster's win over "Mad Dog" Onryo with so much talk surrounding rumored tensions within The New Generation. Man-in-the-middle Baraka_MK watched silently from the wings as his new Duo partner bested his old one, improving upon his Supercard 93 victory with a hard hitting +3 win!
Legendary duo "The Pacific Connection" Oozaru & Banging left no doubt as they both qualified for The Challenger 7 with dominant victories. NovaStarr narrowly edged out 2017 Fighter For Europe Chromatose. That means MKMaster, Oozaru, Banging & NovaStarr will join Genku, DArqueBishop, and a mystery Hall of Famer when Tower of Power XIX opens - next week!
Waiting somewhere up The Tower will be Untied: Mimik, who continued the embarrassment of United: The_Purple_Bunny with a convincing victory! Problems between the pair first manifested late last month when TPB was critical of Mimik's win-loss record. A string of victories have left TPB the more precariously positioned member of The United, with his most recent loss during this week's VS United. We will officially find out their place next week during Tower of Power XIX.
"The Predator" TonyTheTiger will be somewhere on The Tower as well. An exhibition match win against DECEPTION at Pre-Show 94 helped elevate TTT's title prospects. When Genku claimed he could beat any and all of the 19th Tower, it was TonyTheTiger who emerged to dominate him during Friday Night Fights! Genku had to work hard to mount a Tower Defense, but managed to scrape by with a narrow fought victory!
It was a competitive scenario when DArqueBishop got his hands on DaemonX. The elusive former Invasion leader has been largely absent since Genku staged his hostile takeover of The Invasion. The ousted Manager did his best to take down the suspected "Black King", but it was another competitive DaemonX win. With his victory against Statix at Supercard 94, will DaemonX be somewhere on The Tower of Power? DArqueBishop will find out as one of three automatically qualifying fighters in The Challenger 7!
Division 2 Champion Poasty continued to build himself a career making reign. He earned a confident victory against top contender G0LD! The win marks Poasty's fourth successful defense since he reclaimed the championship at The Spring Classic!
The stage is set for a massive weekend where anyone could walk away the new Undisputed Champion! Supercard 95: Tower of Power XIX will see the Undisputed gold up for grabs for the first time since Tower of Power XV! ElJobber successfully defended the title at that one -- will he do it again? Be here next week to find out who will rise and who will fall - Sunday, June 18th!
