It's no secret that United: Shoe suffered a heinous defeat inside the Steel Cage at last month's Spring Classic. Nobody was too surprised when he missed the last two editions of Monday Night Games, knowing full well the recovery time associated with such a brutal match type.
Usually fighters can bounce back from a moderate Steel Cage Fight loss within 2-8 weeks, but Shoe won't be putting a time limit on his recovery, announcing today to members of The United and the League that he's taking an indefinite break.
Shoe's been fighting a heavy schedule throughout the first quarter, shouldering the burden of regular battles during Monday Night programming, including high-profile struggles with leading members of The Invasion and The Fallen. He also suffered a notable defeat at Ultimate Grand Prix VII, where he and arch-rival Poasty buried the hatchet.
While Shoe takes a much needed break from The Great Arena, the remaining expanded line-up of The United will continue to compete with Artanix assuming an unofficial role as captain.

RSI: Bombshell - "I Did Not Vote For Genku"
Genku and the Undisputed Championship continue to be a hotbed for daily controversy, but the biggest bombshell to come out of Supercard 89: Breaking Point may not have been the attack by VenoMark,which has the champion calling for his suspension!
Since the start of the year, AlbertBeefcake has been head of an official investigation into allegations Genku won the November Invasion Election via vote tampering. Thus far, most of AB's inquiries have been centered on ruling out suspects, so a routine interrogation of Shen_DuHBK at Supercard 89 wasn't expected to yield results. When the match was over, most didn't think it had.
Upon his defeat, Shen_DuHBK whispered something that sent AlbertBeefcake into a state of stunned silence. Thanks to an anonymous tip, we've learned the shocking phrase The Invasion fighter uttered: "I did not vote for Genku".
A recent leak of vote data clearly shows Shen_DuHBK's ballot was tallied in favour of Genku -- who won the Contender Election by one vote!
Shen would've had no way of knowing his vote was altered until the leak of data, which confirms at least one act of vote tampering.
It could be argued Genku earned his Championship winning title shot through victory at Supercard 88: Battle Royale, but with so much controversy already surrounding the title winner, the court of public opinion is unlikely to see it that way.
Officials are yet to comment on the situation, but it's conceivable pressures could lead to a decision to vacate the Undisputed Championship! Genku has accrued a significant list of powerful enemies who have all had claim to the top title -- and to motives to sabotage his reign. We'll continue to follow this story as it develops.

Breaking: Poasty Traumatic Stress Disorder
The events of September 16 still ring out in infamy, but none has been more affected than the man they call Poasty. The barrage of attacks inflicted by Shoe were a harsh reminder of the career threatening injury Poasty had just returned from less than a month earlier.
This brush with mortality plagued Poasty as he attempted to live out a storybook comeback during the Division 2 Championship tournament in October. His plan was spoiled by Murdoink, who soon revealed he had returned to the ranks of Shoe's team: The United!
Despite the shock of the conspiracy he'd revealed, Poasty mastered his nemesis, recording further grudge wins on October 28 and November 4. Then something unexpected happened. Murdoink promised Poasty a surprise, coming in the form of a returning Mime who annihilated Poasty with MAX Damage on the November 11th edition of Friday Night Fights!
As they had before, TonyTheTiger & CaTigeReptile came to Poasty's aid, helping him fight back against their mutual nemesis this past weekend, at Supercard 86: Survivor Sequence - Invasion. Alas; things didn't go according to plan in the battle of trios, and The United emerged victorious.
For Poasty; experiencing defeat at the hands of Shoe, Artanix & Mime, so soon after suffering MAX Damage, has brought the harrowing ordeal back to the fore!
Poasty has experienced more in the last four months than some fighters will see in their entire career, but it seems his greatest foe will now be the demons he's struggling with inside himself! Though the physical trauma of his recent defeats may heal with time, the scars are much more than skin deep.
We may not see Poasty in The Great Arena for a while. Let us hope it isn't forever!

Breaking: Hokey cashes in Royal Roulette!
Just eight days ahead of Supercard 86: Survivor Sequence - Invasion the league has been hit with a major bombshell: Hokey will challenge teammate Mimik for the Undisputed Championship!
The main event comes as Hokey cashes-in the title shot granted to him by his Royal Roulette win in July. The stipulations of the Royal Roulette match mean the winner can challenge for any title at any time! In a statement during the cash-in, Hokey said the timing of his decision would become very clear in the near future.
Mimik was recruited into The United by DArqueBishop during his brief time as the new manager of the group. The same Royal Roulette match that earned Hokey his title opportunity also saw the controversial reorganization of The United. During the match they banded together to oust DAB, and reinstate Hokey whilst dominating the match. Mimik was an earlier exit than his comrades, but still contributed to their domination as a retained member.
Tensions between Hokey and Mimik would ultimately emerge in September, when they competed in the former champion's Contender Battle Royal at Night of Champions V! Hokey won that match too, but not before ElJobber was able to turn Mimik against him. Hokey lost in the night's title match, while Mimik's performance ultimate delivered him to the title at Supercard 84: Return to the Dark Carnival.
The United attempted to show solidarity by pairing Hokey & Mimik together during the September 30 edition of Friday Night Fights. It now seems their match merely masked the cracks forming within the group. Hokey's reluctance was evident when The United joined Mimik to celebrate his second title win. Did Hokey know at that moment he was going to challenge for the title?
These are the questions that can only be answered on November 20th, when The Great Arena plays host to an all-United Undisputed Championship match! It's shaping up to be one amazing Supercard event -- but don't forget! Pre-Show 86: Daemon Quest takes place tomorrow - November 13th! Former Undisputed Champion DECEPTION will headline. Don't you dare miss it!
Supercard 86: Survivor Sequence - Invasion (November 20th, 2016):
- United: Hokey versus United: Mimik (c) [Undisputed Championship]
- Kron versus "The Chosen One" Damo
- Unknown265 & mwgrant0 versus "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J (c) [Duo Division Championship]

Breaking: Division 2 Championship Vacated
Twenty-three days ago "The Franchise" Poasty was living the dream - an unexpected winner of the Division 2 Championship in a match against The Great Genku! It was the crowning achievement of Poasty's career and one of the major stories coming out of Pre-Show 80 - until tragedy struck!
As a result of his injuries it has now become apparent Poasty will not be able to fulfil his obligations as Division 2 Champion. With that in mind, officials have therefore decided to officially vacate the title as of this date.
Sixty-four Division 2 fighters will subsequently be invited to compete in a random draw, elimination tournament which will be held this Sunday, July 10th to crown a new champion!

Breaking: Shoe Sidelined in Attack!
A seemingly innocuous attack has ended in brutality today in The Great Arena, placing big name Duo Division star Shoe on the sidelines!
Eye witnesses report an altercation of some kind broke out between Damo and Shoe in the late afternoon, resulting in Shoe's surprising collapse.
Damo and Shoe have been known to butt heads in the off competition hours, sparring frequently without incident. Shoe's status as one of the veterans of The Great Arena makes the brutal result of the altercation all the more shocking! It is not known if something between the two escalated the situation. The United's 2016 management DArqueBishop declined to comment.
A +27 impact from his Third Round match during last week's tournament is being looked at as a possible contributor to Shoe's injury. Damo is currently scheduled to face The_Purple_Bunny in a main event grudge match during this week's Friday Night Fights.
June 2016 is fast turning into one of the bloodiest months on Great Arena record! The incapacitated list gains its fifth addition with the execution of this high profile incident. Reigning Division 2 Champion Poasty was also eliminated from competition earlier this month, just before the 2016 Mid-Year Grand Slam added more names to the list, most notably Menas.

Breaking: Division 2 Champion Injured!
Just two days after his incredible upset victory for the Division 2 Championship at Pre-Show 80: DECEPTION/TPB II: "The Franchise" Poasty has suffered another career threatening injury!
Poasty only recently made his return from injury during the May 27th edition of Friday Night Fights. The return culminated in a grudge match with The Great Genku for the Division 2 Championship. A stunning match that delivered the so-called "Franchise" to his first championship!
It should've been the height of his career, but Poasty's eagerness to be a fighting champion led to a shocking turn of events in the 48 hours following his title victory! Intense training saw the champion push himself too far. His efforts to prepare responsible for re-injuring him!
League officials have declined to make any comment about the state of the Division 2 Championship at this stage, but those present could clearly see Poasty will not be in action any time soon. The Div.2 title has only been vacated once in its three year existence, voluntarily by The_Purple_Bunny.
Stay tuned for more updates relating to this shocking turn of events!

ShawnMichaels Supports British Exit
Tensions between the fighters of Great Britain have been mounting ever since the first qualifying matches for the 2016 Fighter For Europe tournament. ShawnMichaels became embroiled in the feuds when he returned, and successfully took Dez-Burnett's qualifying spot, joining Ironize in British representation on May 9th.
During the month that followed, Liam & nif emerged as antagonists to the other British fighters, believing the limitations of qualification exemplified how they were "defeating themselves" by accepting a league that lumped them in with the rest of Europe.
ShawnMichaels not only agrees with Liam & nif's sentiment, but has now formally called for them to seek sanctuary with The Invasion by officially staging a British Exit of The League Union! He says Liam & nif will be welcomed with open arms. Something Leroy and Dez-Burnett might not agree with - but will find difficult oppose, with Ironize & AcidicWonder in The Invasion!

CTR Issues FNF Challenge For Shoe
A seemingly unprovoked, tense stand-off has occurred in the arena between United: Shoe and "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile! Reports of the exact circumstances are hazy, but Shoe is said to have launched a tirade against the 7-time KFL Champion, and questioned the merit and legitimacy of her victory over Damo at Supercard 78: Spring Classic.
CaTigeReptile was understandably agitated by the attack and has issued a challenge for Shoe for this week's Friday Night Fights! The United's new management has not commented on the match.

Breaking: Poasty Possibly Sidelined By Injury
Reports from The Great Arena suggest Poasty could be the latest name headed for the incapacitated list! It seems he suffered a serious fracture while sparring with fighters today, which will likely keep him out of action during this weekend's Pre-Show 78: Control event, where he was expected to have some role.
The incident occurred some time just before 11:30am arena time, when Poasty was sparring with veteran combatants Genku, Damo and Mimik. Rumors suggest Genku was his opponent during the finishing blow, but it has been noted Poasty has been working hurt for most of the year.
The injury couldn't have come at a more disappointing time. 2016 has been shaping up to be a banner year for Poasty, with some notable names speculating he could be the next blue chip stock. He's been a frequent regular during Friday Night Fights, which led to his UGP debut at Ultimate Grand Prix VI and subsequent developing rivalry with Coltess. His last rankings match was a grudge bout on the April 8th FNF.
The impact of the injury remains to be seen. Watch for updates to the incapacitated list during the Weekly Rankings Recap, and stay tuned for developments as we follow the story.

Bombshell: The United Fire Hokey!
After enduring a violent 2-on-1 beat down at the hands of CCShadow & Scott-Howell during this week's Friday Night Fights [8/4/2016]: Hokey has been fired from The United by their new management - DArqueBishop!
The United Management cites poor performances, and a lack of belief in the 2-time Undisputed Champion's desire as reasons for termination from the group.
Hokey has been a part of The United since their formation in 2013. The original line-up, consisting of Shoe, Artanix, Mime and Murdoink went on to achieve the rare feat of defeating The Barons of Mislukking the following year at Ultimate Grand Prix IV.
Hokey last won the Undisputed Championship at the end of 2015, but relinquished it in 2016 to surprise challenger ElJobber, at Supercard 74: Battle Royale. This was the same event that saw his United teammates Shoe & Artanix come up short against the dominant Hall of Fame Duo Division Champions: "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J.
It was this "nightmare" event in January that led The United to announce their then undisclosed new management. DArqueBishop has steered their course ever since, leading Shoe & Artanix to multiple victories, including an Ultimate Grand Prix trios win against The Invasion. DArqueBiship is 2-0 with the team, defeating WilliamRegal, KurtAngle & EricAngle during Monday Night Aftershock.
There is currently no word on if Hokey will be replaced in the team. Stay tuned for updates as they become available.

NightHawk Sidelined After Battle Royale
Heroics have turned to tragedy following an amazing Supercard 74 appearance by NightHawk!
Last week, NightHawk announced his return from a precautionary time on the sidelines due to a 2-on-1 beating at November's Pre-Show 72. Just days afterward, during Friday Night Fights, he suffered another 2-on-1 ambush at the hands of Pink_Ranger & Ghostdragon!
The impact of the FNF assault left NightHawk in bad shape, but he showed tremendous heart to join Ratt in his 2-on-2 grudge match against Crow & Pink_Ranger! The pair emerged victorious from an amazing Supercard 74 match, but in the hours that followed, NightHawk took a decided turn for the worse, his injuries catching up with him.
Much worse than originally believed, NightHawk's injuries will likely force him to recover on the sidelines at the advice of officials. It is unknown when he will return to active duty. Stay tuned for updates on NightHawk's status in the coming weeks and months.

2015 Hall of Fame Announcement
Since 2012; December has been a time reserved to honour the fighters whose legacy has left a lasting impression on The Great Arena. In previous years, tradition has dictated multiple names be written into The Hall of Fame. In 2015, there is just one - but what a name it is!
Few fighters embody the immortality of Hall of Fame status like this year's inductee. His story has spanned the entirety of The Great Arena era - from humble beginnings, to one of the most decorated careers of all time! Success came early, elevating the fan-favourite from underdog status to beloved champion in his first year. In the seasons that followed, he became the greatest title holder the arena has ever seen - establishing unprecedented success in his five reigns as Undisputed Champion!
He may be considered the greatest single fighter the league has ever produced, but that never meant being selfish. Over the years he has stood for many causes, and proven a skilled team player with Duo Division Championships, tournament wins and a Gold Medal! He was one of the original legendary Iron Men of The Arena, an Olympian for Team USA, an All-Star with Kron, and a champion mentor to NightHawk!
So much of the saga of The Great Arena can be told through his battles. He endured against The Barons of Mislukking, clashed with the first Revenant, flirted with insidious Turncoats, stood against the incursion of ICWW Immortals, became an Iron Man of War, a champion, and a King! His feuds with Crow, Genku, ElJobber, The_Purple_Bunny, Kron, Hokey, m0s, Marz & Violent`J, and Pink_Ranger & Ghostdragon are the stuff of legend - some of the greatest rivalries ever told!
They say to be the man, you have to beat him!
He is the 2015 Hall of Fame inductee: Ratt!
Career Record:

Few fighters embody the immortality of Hall of Fame status like this year's inductee. His story has spanned the entirety of The Great Arena era - from humble beginnings, to one of the most decorated careers of all time! Success came early, elevating the fan-favourite from underdog status to beloved champion in his first year. In the seasons that followed, he became the greatest title holder the arena has ever seen - establishing unprecedented success in his five reigns as Undisputed Champion!
He may be considered the greatest single fighter the league has ever produced, but that never meant being selfish. Over the years he has stood for many causes, and proven a skilled team player with Duo Division Championships, tournament wins and a Gold Medal! He was one of the original legendary Iron Men of The Arena, an Olympian for Team USA, an All-Star with Kron, and a champion mentor to NightHawk!
So much of the saga of The Great Arena can be told through his battles. He endured against The Barons of Mislukking, clashed with the first Revenant, flirted with insidious Turncoats, stood against the incursion of ICWW Immortals, became an Iron Man of War, a champion, and a King! His feuds with Crow, Genku, ElJobber, The_Purple_Bunny, Kron, Hokey, m0s, Marz & Violent`J, and Pink_Ranger & Ghostdragon are the stuff of legend - some of the greatest rivalries ever told!
They say to be the man, you have to beat him!
He is the 2015 Hall of Fame inductee: Ratt!
- Ratt's Career Achievements

It's sandwiched between two of the biggest events on The Great Arena calendar -- with a fraction of the pageantry -- but it's fair to say the February Supercard is as important an annual event as the majors that surround it. While the high profile Battle Royale of January confirms one worthy competitor for an Undisputed Championship match at Ultimate Grand Prix -- the defending Champion can still change courtesy of the rare, often times overlooked February opportunity!
Coming out of Supercard 32; two competitors have been chosen to battle it out for the right to challenge the Reign of the DaMo at February 17's Supercard 33: The Long Hard Road (2013). As former Champions in their own right, each knows the adreneline rush of a major event title match. As opponents, each knows the other better than they know themselves. Supercard 29 was to have ended their long running feud, but with the Round Robin Final of The 2012 Masters Series (Tournament 24); Violent`J and ElJobber must do battle one more time!
Worthy of a UGP spotlight; the Pre-Show 33 contender bout will be a main event unto itself, with a long and complicated history behind it! The many grudge battles fought between the two provides but a section of the tale of the tape - measured most accurately by each fighter's achievements of the present day!
"The Y2Juggalo" Violent`J not only springs out of 2012 as the winner of the year-end Masters Series, but also enjoys the accolade of his pending induction into The Immortal Hall of Fame. VJ was recognized for achievements stretching long before his arrival in The Great Arena (at Pre-Show 21: Tower Fallout), dating back to a career in "ICWW" (2002-2004).
"The Iron Man of Conquest" ElJobber earned the People's Choice Award for 2012 Best Solo Competitor, runner-up to his rival in the 2012 Master's Series tournament. As a 2011 Battle Royale winner and 2012 Runner-Up, he was granted instant qualification into the draw for Battle Royale 2013 -- but when he found his random entry number was #1, the former winner was none too pleased. This fact, coupled with his impressive six eliminations and marathon effort of 1 hour 15 minutes 9 seconds, has allowed him to politic his way into contention opportunity.
It was ElJobber who lost the Undisputed Championship to DaMo just forty-five days ago (at December's Supercard 31: Finale - Year of the DaMo). If he succeeds in defeating Violent`J at Pre-Show 33, he will have settled one feud to reengage with a new one! Violent`J will be no less motivated, however -- one of the few surviving members of the invading "ICWW" force known as The Immortals! Violent`J wants nothing more than to crush his arch-nemesis, to taste his blood and the sweet gold of The Undisputed Championship!

2012: The Complete Year of the DaMo
He's been a constant since the dawn of The Great Arena, but it wasn't until January 29, 2012 that the man called DaMo made a bold declaration! Few could have believed there would be anything but false bravado behind the manifesto of the Year of the DaMo -- but indeed, the prophecy that began with a strong performance during Battle Royale 2012 would produce a Champion come year end.
DaMo's successes date back as far as Tournament 1, where he fought to a Quarter Finals berth by defeating and eliminating soon-to-be-Champion - Kron. Teaming up with DeathScepter shortly thereafter, DaMo would make history at Ultimate Grand Prix 2011 as a defining presence in the developing 2-man Duo Division. This presence would continue in the year that followed, but failed to produce any significant accolades amidst the many near-misses, leading the vast majority to take the DaMo name for granted.
The forty-man Battle Royale of Supercard 19 would prove to be a defining milestone. Entering at #30; DaMo had an immediate impact on the annual event, roughhousing Hokey into a shock elimination. He continued to battle the likes of Ghostdragon, Mimik, Ratt and Kron, eliminating STEROLIZER, Celeste, and Artanix before his late exit courtesy of ElJobber (#36). The match failed to bring a long sought title, but instantly legitimized DaMo as a serious contender in the eyes of fans and peers!
Fallout from Battle Royale would play out over several months in a major feud with Hokey. After encounters at Pre-Show 20, Supercard 21 and Tournament 12, the grudge culminated in a highly anticipated feature match at Ultimate Grand Prix 2012. Hokey got the better of DaMo at the annual major, but the battle further proved DaMo's ability to be a power player in 2012!
The Duo Division would maintain DaMo's well earned stardom, keeping him in the title hunt after the UGP loss. Questions of calendar ownership sparked by the "Year of the DaMo" would eventually lead to solo conflict with fellow claimers, Y2Knickxasawrrrr and the "Y2Juggalo" Violent`J. Y2K (and m0s) had managed to stand in the way of DaMo's golden goals, but his other calendar rival would grant him a far greater golden opportunity -- his first shot at the Undisputed Championship!
Pre-Show 27: Dead or Alive V delivered DaMo an unsuccessful attempt at Violent`J's Undisputed Championship in exchange for revealing himself a member of The Immortals. The price of DaMo's betrayal came at All-Star Summer Showdown 2012, where he battled longtime friend and ally - DeathScepter. The shock revelation of DaMo's membership with the hostile forces brought him into a renewed partnership with fellow Immortal, Zengeance. Despite their association a decade earlier, the pair could not find the success DaMo desperately sought. In fact, he earned his first accolade in solo competition, winning a Bronze Medal for New Zealand in the Olympic Solo Tournament.
Renewed hostilities with Y2Knickxasawrrrr and m0s further demoralized DaMo's campaign for Championship gold. At Pre-Show 30: The Survivor Sequence, DaMo saw the light, leading him to turn on Zengeance and The Immortals in a major win. Back with The Union, DaMo delighted fans by reuniting with DeathScepter in time for Tournament 23: Duo Thanksgiving! The pair charged to victory, defeating Y2K & m0s in the final! With a single Supercard remaining, the powers-that-be allowed tournament momentum to carry the redeemed star to his logical conclusion! With the world watching, the Year of the DaMo was to be put to the ultimate test!
Prior to Pre-Show 31, the man known as "The Iron Man of Conquest" had put to rest doubts about his legitimacy as Undisputed Champion with devastating effect. ElJobber had fatally eliminated a resilient Violent`J in a Championship rematch, before punctuating his success with a follow-up title defense as winner of Tower of Power VI. Ironically, it had been ElJobber who eliminated DaMo from his name-earning performance during Battle Royale 2012. His boasts of a record breaking reign were becoming all too plausible, rendering DaMo a distant underdog with time fast running out.
The shock reversal of fortunes would complete a saga that lasted the entirety of 2012: a time we now know confirmed to be the Year of the DaMo! Success against overwhelming odds creates the Reign of the DaMo -- a legacy guaranteed to continue into 2013. As the challenges of a new year loom, let us look back one final time at the Year of the DaMo that was.

Breaking News: Mimik Out of Action Again!
Competition has got the better of Mimik today, forcing him onto the sidelines after a surprise mortal injury was sustained. The King of the Battle Royal has had a tumultuous year, beginning strong with victory over Battle Royale 2012, only to fail to capitalize in the Undisputed Championship match it earned him, at Supercard 22: Ultimate Grand Prix 2012. This isn't the first time King Mimik has found himself taken out of the fight. In May, 2011; Mimik was infamously defeated in an unprovoked attack by Shoe.
The stakes of combat have never been more evident than in 2012.
The introduction of the Iron Man Endurance Match at UGP2012 elevated danger to a new level! With rules heavily favouring the elimination of the losing party, the Iron Man match has claimed two competitors in recent months, beginning with Kron at Supercard 23: The Iron Man Cometh (April 29, 2012), and continuing with Ratt, who lost at Supercard 24: The Reckoning (May 20, 2012). Both fighters were the victim of Crow, who in victory, not only claimed his record setting fourth reign as Undisputed Champion, but also the mantle of "Iron Man" -- something that has earned the ire of survivor and "Iron Menace," ElJobber.
While rivalries within the ranks of The Great Arena develop, the elimination of King Mimik has wide ramifications looking into the coming months. Mimik was to have appeared at the upcoming Supercard 25: Tower of Power V, where another bite at the Undisputed Championship would have awaited, had he been successful at fighting from the #9 contenders rung. July promises another Battle Royale opportunity at the second Royal Roulette event [2011], where The King of the Battle Royal could have been a very likely second-chance contention opportunity, as well.
Perhaps most wrenching consequence will occur at the coming contest of The Great Arena's first Olympic Games. His status as the most decorated competitor in the Battle Royal match-type had Mimik firmly placed to represent the United States of America, an odds-on favourite to take the Gold Medal for the all-in fight. Team USA's replacement in the Battle Royal is yet to be determined, with the loss of Kron and Ratt already significantly weakening the superpower dream team.

Breaking News: Mr. Daruma Does it Again!
It was a blitz that saw a confounding three Daruma 7 victories recorded in the span of a week, in August 2011. On the 22nd, history was made first by m0s, only to be shockingly repeated on the 26th by Genku, and yet again by m0s, on the 27th. This flurry gave new hope to the arcade hopefuls who would eye a place in The Banzuke list, but in the months that followed, none would repeat the success of that single magical week -- until now.
After eight months without a single winner; "Mr. Daruma" m0s has once again shown the way, performing the phenomenal feat of winning an unprecedented and unbelievable third Daruma 7 victory, in his 1106th attempt! This means m0s' average for victory is approximately 1 win every 368 tries -- impressive when you consider that the overall odds for victory are an estimated 1 in 1371! Something many players have never achieved, despite far exceeding that number of attempts!
Will we see more winners accounting for an expected statistic of nine victorys? Or is the man called "Mr. Daruma" destined to this time hold the rare accolade without company?
What's certain is m0s' place in the annals of Great Arena history!
While the next seven days become an intriguing period for believers of history repeating, m0s can rest assured that no one will ever repeat the phenomenon of taking three of the first four Daruma 7 wins!

NEWS: The Union Betrayed - Kron Dead!
At Supercard 14: War of Thrones, several fighters failed to appear for matches they had previously been announced as competing in. Among the missing were prominent names: Toryn, Genku, "Mr. Daruma" m0s, Tyrant-Cenobite, queve, and Nemesis316. By Devil's Night, Ratt had joined the ranks of the absent, raising many questions about the dark forces enacting themselves upon The Great Arena.
Long had there been rumors and suspicion of traitors in the leagues midst, but only with the coming of Supercard 15: Tower of Power III has the canonized manifesto of a collective been declared. Toryn -- a fighter with a notorious penchant for shortcuts and desparate power plays -- has been revealed as the ring leader of a splinter group seeking escape from the dominance of the top ranks! The reveal comes with the stunning revelation that fellow turncoat, Tyrant-Cenobite, has been working in the service of Toryn for far longer than anyone could know! The alliance dates as far back as April, including a plot to undermine Toryn's then Championship challenger and longtime rival, ElJobber!
The story of the Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix attack on Tyrant-Cenobite has been well documented, with ElJobber long denying the accusations of a bitter and unprovoked assault that robbed Tyrant-Cenobite a chance at contention. ElJobber finally embraced the claim as a simple fact of the on-going competitive battles that define The Great Arena and the league, even as negative public opinion turned the one-time fan-favourite into an unpopular punisher.
The smear campaign expose comes as The Union of The Human League loses one of its great heroes, the recently returned Kron! The "born again" fighter had led a philosophical and physical charge against Ares Mensclich -- Baron of War responsible for an all together different set of manipulations! This struggle between will and greed, good and evil became a muddled debate for the fighters of The Great Arena, who ultimately came to accept the truth of combat. It may have been this realization that led Kron to do the unthinkable, challenging Lord Mislukking himself to a battle to the death that he ultimately lost.
With Kron gone, the League still recovering from the fractures of Menschlich's challenge, and many other fighters still M.I.A to possibly emerge as members of this new team of Turncoats -- The Union of the Human League will have its work cut out for it as we countdown to the end of the year!

Breaking News: Another Name for the Banzuke?!
Not a hoax! Not a dream! Not an imaginary story!
The Great Arena was stunned just five days ago when m0s achieved the remarkable feat of completing all seven layers of Daruma 7 to become the games first champion in over five thousand games. Expectations were quickly dashed when, just yesterday, a second champion was crowned when Genku achieved victory!
If you doubted that m0s was worthy of the title of "Mr. Daruma," you spoke too soon! The first ever winner of the event managed to do it all again, scoring another victory with his 281st attempt at victory!
The shocking turn of events is such a departure from normal proceedings, the wins have left many speculating about the legitimacy of the wins. It has been estimated that there is a 1 in 1371 probability of successfully completing all seven layers of the Daruma 7, making the crowning of these recent champions statistically overdue based on the 5000+ games that have been played.
In fact, with the total number of games being tallied at 5452 upon Genku's win, a fourth champion seems statistically probable (after 5484 games). This, of course, does not mean a champion will be crowned tomorrow, or even in the next nine months. It will be very exciting waiting to see who and when it is, though.
