Monday Night Games: VS United (July 31, 2017)

For the first time ever The United were perceived as would-be underdogs as Shoe returned to rally the troops for a special VS United edition of Monday Night Games!

Competing for The Invasion would be: Loopster, Jauger, TripleH, WilliamRegal & MattHardy! They are individually known as pawns of the mysterious Black King who controls The Invasion, but since July 10th they've been invaders capitalizing on The United's relative absence! The United took control of Mondays from a previous incarnation of The Invasion, but have recently been fractured by injury, in-fighting, and personal pursuits.

True to his word, Shoe rallied The United to be represented by: Shoe, Mimik, Murdoink, zelse & reigning KFL Champion Mime! Together they account for: 4x Undisputed Championships, 6x Duo Division Championships, 6x KFL Championships, and 3x Division 2 Championships! Supreme skill!

1. MattHardy defeated United: zelse in a narrow victory. [+1]
The first challenger for The Invasion was MattHardy, whose attempt to capitalize on the relative inexperience of zelse nearly backfired! The United's rookie protégé fought with tenacity, but the greater experience of MattHardy finally paid off. A rare win getting The Invasion off to a strong start with 3 points!

2. United: Murdoink defeated WilliamRegal in a competitive match. [+1]
WilliamRegal has become synonymous with the Duo Division in more recent times, but he was flying solo to cause trouble for Murdoink in the second fight. For a moment it looked as if The Invasion would pick up a second win, but Murdoink was able to grind out of a competitive contest with a well earned win. The equalizer making it 3 points a piece for both teams!

3. United: Mime (c) defeated TripleH in convincing fashion. [+3]
Since winning the KFL Championship at Ultimate Grand Prix VII; Mime has been slightly distracted establishing a dominant title reign. He's defended the belt for bonus points in past VS United bouts, but this time it was to be a non-title attack from TripleH. With both teams tied, Mime still made sure he earned valuable points for his team: a +3 impact giving The United a 5 point lead!

4. United: Mimik defeated Jauger in a comprehensive result! [+8]
The pressure was on as Jauger stepped into the arena to take on one of The United's heaviest hitters: Hall of Famer Mimik! Mimik's tepid performance against Team Europe once earned him Most Not Good United, and started some of the tension with The_Purple_Bunny that took him away from the team. Jauger saw potential to exploit that vulnerability, but was utterly denied in a punishing +8 result that left nothing to chance! Mimik's 10 point performance put his team definitively in front, with just the final battle of Captains to go!

5. United: Shoe defeated Loopster in a solid win. [+1]
Loopster was responsible for beginning The Invasion's recent return attack on Monday Nights. He scouted the event on July 10th, noting The United's relative absence as a greenlight to test the waters for a fresh incursion. Shoe went on indefinite sabbatical in May, but returned triumphantly last week to rally the troops! He beat Loopster last week in a close fought match, but was unwavering in his attack on the rematch! A decisive nail in the coffin for The Invasion!

Monday Night Games: Week 26 - VS United (July 31, 2017):
- The United [26 points] d. The Invasion [3 points]
- Most Not Good United: zelse

True to his word: Shoe rallied the troops to remind the marauding forces that The United are still the strongest force in The Great Arena, and in total control of the Monday Night Games! A strong 26 points to 3 points sealing the deal for the home team! With mostly strong performances from most of the team, the rookie zelse sadly earned his first Not Good United for the team's only loss! Though, with contentious teammate The_Purple_Bunny conspicuous by his absence, Mimik may've felt he should've accepted the award.

The United succeeded in defeating The Invasion, but their work isn't done just yet! The Invasion owe their histories to the ring of ICWW: predecessor to The Great Arena celebrating its 15th Anniversary in August! In anticipation of the August 10th Dead Or Alive X anniversary special, The United will return next week to compete against a team of ICWW All-Stars in another round of VS United! It goes down next Monday, August 7th - and with some of the greatest fighters in ICWW history invited, they'll need to be at their very best if they want to maintain their undefeated record!
