It's been more than a year since the Undisputed Championship was last up for grabs during The Tower of Power! In that time, many champions have arisen and fallen -- yet we find the same man standing atop the structure as last time, when The Tower returns this Sunday!
Past Tower Champions are a who's who of The Great Arena's finest!
Ratt achieved the greatest climb, reaching the final battle from the #7 rung at Tower of Power XIII. He won his first Undisputed Championship at the original Tower of Power, and defended the gold at Tower of Power VII against The_Purple_Bunny. Few names are as synonymous with The Tower as TPB! He factored into four consecutive Tower of Power championship matches, suffering a string of near-misses until he finally conquered at Tower of Power XI!
This weekend's reigning Undisputed Champion, ElJobber, equaled Ratt's record of winning Tower of Power twice. He also achieved a similar feat of scaling its heights from the unenviable #6 rung, at Tower of Power II! Revisit the history of previous Undisputed Championship matches below:
Former Undisputed Championship Tower of Power Finalists:
1. Ratt (#1) d. Toryn (c) - Supercard 5: The Tower of Power (April 17, 2011)
2. Crow (c) d. ElJobber (#6) - Supercard 10: Tower of Power II (July 31, 2011)
3. Violent`J (#1) d. Crow (c) - Supercard 25: Tower of Power V (June 17, 2012)
4. ElJobber (c) d. The_Purple_Bunny (#1) - Supercard 30: Tower of Power VI (November 18, 2012)
5. Ratt (c) d. The_Purple_Bunny (#1) - Supercard 35: Tower of Power VII (April 28, 2013)
6. Hokey (#1) d. The_Purple_Bunny (c) - Supercard 50: Tower of Power X (April 20, 2014)
7. The_Purple_Bunny (c) d. Kron (#1) - Supercard 55: Tower of Power XI (September 21, 2014)
8. Kron (c) d. Ratt (#7) - Supercard 65: Tower of Power XIII (May 31, 2015)
9. ElJobber (c) d. DECEPTION (#4) - Supercard 75: Tower of Power XV (February 21, 2016)
ElJobber successfully defended the gold at Tower of Power XV, but he conceded the championship shortly thereafter to DECEPTION! His Tower of Power run from the #4 position was a star-making performance, earning him his first Undisputed Championship at the following Supercard! DECEPTION went on to successfully defend the title in the main event of Ultimate Grand Prix VI!
For every Tower of Power winner, there is often one stand-out performer who emerges from the pack with a display of unparalleled determination and tenacity! Will Tower of Power XIX deliver us the next big contender?
Former Champion "The Chosen One" Damo will enter the Tower of Power in the #1 position. We also know "The Predator" TonyTheTiger will contest the field after his dominant performance during last week's Friday Night Fights! The rest of the structure will be revealed this weekend!
Before The Tower collapses in on itself there will be The Challenger 7! Tower of Power XVIII showed us the incredible feat of conquering the entire Tower of Power is possible! Two teams were able to reach the Champions on that night.
After preliminary announcements and Pre-Show 95 qualifiers, The Challenger 7 will be: Genku, DArqueBishop, Oozaru, Banging, NovaStarr, MKMaster and a returning Hall of Famer! Could Tower of Power XIX be the first time a lone fighter bests the ten top contenders and claims gold? Be here Sunday, June 18th to find out!
