128 fighter came to compete in the 2017 Summer Grand Slam, and with some of the greatest names in history returning among them -- it was always sure to be a thrilling tournament! The Quarter Finals showed there was no room for upstarts this year. The 2017 Semi Finals featured an elite line-up of former champions and Hall of Famers -- the first Grand Slam this year without Mime in the Semis!
If things had gone differently it could've been an all United final, but only Mimik made it past a hotly contested Quarter Final stage! Historically the Hall of Famer hasn't been a strong tournament fighter, but he emerged a dark horse after wins against Violent`J and LordSkarlet. Genku struggled with Artanix in the Quarters, but had a full tank of reserves when he attacked the Semis! The highly controversial Genku took control of his destiny, securing a convincing win to advance to the final!
When DECEPTION defended his first Undisputed Championship against Kron in the main event of Ultimate Grand Prix VI, he cemented his place among the top tier of competition! At Ultimate Grand Prix VII, the competitive rivalry was revisited with the same outcome. The Semi Final of the 2017 Summer Grand Slam gave Kron a chance to add a notch to his win column, but after walking through his match with TPB, it was Kron's turn to run out of gas! The Hitman, on the other hand, was peaking at the right time. Knowing his rival so well, DECEPTION delivered one of the most shocking results in a tournament final when he executed MAX Damage to the Hall of Famer! His second MAX impact for the tournament, having decimated TonyTheTiger in the Fourth Round!
With such a rare, strong performance coming late in the tournament, "The Hitman" DECEPTION immediately became the favourite heading into the Grand Slam Final! For DECEPTION, it was a return to the peak of competition, having slipped out of title contention over the course of the year. Genku too was fighting to take control of his own destiny, convinced of a conspiracy against him that kept him out of the Royal Roulette match. Both competitors came at the final battle with their very best, but in the end it was the controversial Invasion fighter who edged out the win!
With his first tournament crown since the 2013 Summer Grand Slam; Genku took the opportunity to address his All-Star Summer Showdown nemesis: Chairman Mick! He promised he wasn't done with the Chairman, but first he had to take care of some overdue business. Genku announced that now he's won the 2017 Summer Grand Slam - no one can stop him coming for "The Chosen One" Damo at Supercard 98: Night of Champions to finally take back the Undisputed Championship! A bold proclamation to end another amazing year of the famed tournament!

Tournament 82: Summer Grand Slam - Quarters
Eight all-star competitors advanced to the Quarter Final round of the 2017 Summer Grand Slam! With two Hall of Famers and six former Undisputed Champions competing, expectations were at an all-time high! It turned out experience-plus was the key to an edge in the close fought Quarters!
Genku found himself vulnerable in the opening QF, drained after claiming an impressive victory over Ratt in the Fourth Round! United: Artanix came highly motivated, seizing the opportunity to advance his solo credentials. He came close to upsetting Genku in Round 2 of this year's Grand Prix Warm-Up. The United fighter had to settle for almost - coming tantalizingly close to scoring the upset win. After such a hard fought battle, Genku enters the Semi Final with a major question mark.
United: Mimik found momentum from his defeat of Violent`J in the last round, flexing his muscles against a less experienced rival in "Red Nightmare" LordSkarlet. Mimik was never known for his tournament prowess, but showed phenomenal form in his Quarters clash. LordSkarlet had a hard win against "Champion of Champions" Poasty coming into the Quarters, but Mimik's performance was at a high level! The +3 impact could elevate Mimik to a dark horse contender!
As the last remaining top seed; United: Mime had the confidence of having made the Semi Finals of this year's Grand Slam Open, Grand Prix Warm-Up, and Mid-Year Grand Slam! He seemed destined to make it four from four, but the reigning KFL Champion hadn't counted on DECEPTION! The Hitman devastated TonyTheTiger in Round 4, executing a dominant MAX Damage win! Momentum was on clearly on DECEPTION's side, but the clash would turn out to be the big fight of Day 6! Mime did his best to dig his heels in, but The Hitman has been eager to fight his way back to the top of the league! It was a competitive contest, but in the end, Mime's Semi Final streak came to an end.
Like DECEPTION; United: The_Purple_Bunny has been solely motivated by the desire to win the Undisputed Championship once again. He wants to win his 7th title reign in 2017! It was enough to spur him past All-Star Summer nemesis Marz, but there was nothing left in the tank when he came up against one of the most revered Hall of Famers in history: Kron! Kron had his own struggles, edging past VenoMark in a hard fought Fourth Round clash. He wasn't in great shape heading into the QF, but old enemy TPB had absolutely nothing left. The Kron Line capitalized, consuming TPB in a bitter defeat!
The final day of competition will decide the winner of the 2017 Summer Grand Slam! For "The Hitman" DECEPTION and Kron it will be an Ultimate Grand Prix rematch that could decide the ultimate winner! In the other half: Genku and United: Mimik will battle for the recognition they've so long been denied! Two Hall of Famers, four former champions - one Grand Slam Tournament winner! It all begins tomorrow with the Semi Finals!

Tournament 82: Summer Grand Slam - Round 4
It's not often you see a MAX Damage result from a Round 4 dream match, but that's exactly what we were treated to at the 2017 Summer Grand Slam! It was an all-star round of sixteen, with only one seed making it three -- and three of five Hall of Famers biting the dust!
"The Hitman" DECEPTION was the impact player of the Fourth Round, living up to his name in a devastating victory against "The Predator" TonyTheTiger! TTT struggled to keep up the pace in the match, contributing heavily to the punishing MAX Damage loss. #3 seed United: Mime fought a more even match in his comprehensive win over SubMan799. Mime has reached the Semi Finals of all three Grand Slam Tournaments this year, and will go into the Quarters firm favourite despite the severity of DECEPTION's R4 victory.
United: The_Purple_Bunny announced himself as the fighter to watch, executing a near perfect fight against Marz! The grudge match result reversed fortunes at All-Star Summer Showdown that momentarily distanced TPB from his driving goal of winning a 7th Undisputed Championship in 2017. If he's able to continue the pace he's shown in his last two matches, it could be the fasttrack! He will find stiff competition from another old rival, however. Kron's near-miss in Round 3 must've been a wake-up, or perhaps just conserving energy. He crossed swords with #2 seed VenoMark, who fought close to his very best! A high-caliber close fought bout!
"Red Nightmare" LordSkarlet was impressive in his elimination of #4 seed Poasty! The "Champion of Champions" showed potential for another big defying of odds, but LordSkarlet was able to call upon his superior experience to match the Royal Roulette winner's penchant for momentum. With United: Mimik comfortably besting fellow Hall of Famer Violent`J, it's anyone's guess what will happen in the Quarter Finals! Mimik's early career was dotted with poor tournament showings, but he's been making up for it in his second career with The United!
It was another of The United's impressive number that brought an end to the upstart run of Statix! He took out the Undisputed Champion in Round 2, but was out-gunned by United: Artanix in the Fourth! He'll face a highly motivated Genku in the Quarters, as the controversial Invasion fighter comes off a high of decimating Ratt in a huge win!

Tournament 82: Summer Grand Slam - Round 3
A strong field surged through Round 3 of the 2017 Summer Grand Slam as the All-Star field began to assert itself! A who's who of competitors advanced to Round 4, setting up a scintillating round of sixteen with three top seeds, and five Hall of Famers still live in the bracket!
Reigning KFL Champion and #3 seed United: Mime delivered the most destructive impact of the round, executing a +17 demolition against Porygonix. The United delivered all of the double digit impacts for the round, with Artanix and Mimik crushing their opponents for +11 and +10 damage.
The impacts weren't as flashy, but three fighters asserted themselves with impressive heavyweight performances. All-time great Ratt was at his scintillating best when he beat Invasion figurehead DaemonX! The benefit of a bye in the last round helped Marz come in fresh against DeathScepter, setting up an All-Star Summer Showdown rematch with United: The_Purple_Bunny, who was at his best in a comprehensive elimination of ICWW alum Shamrock!
The #2 seed VenoMark weathered a notably competitive match with MKMaster. He'll face a Kron who just narrowly made it past G0LD in a remarkably close fought match! Kron's looked strong until now, despite suffering a high-profile loss at All-Star Summer Showdown. #4 seed Poasty had the benefit of an unprecedented double withdrawal from Round 2, granting him a ticket straight into the Fourth Round. "Red Nightmare" LordSkarlet should provide a tough challenge after taking out DArqueBishop in a comprehensive elimination!
Round 4 is littered with main event match-ups and hot rivalries! Genku has been out to prove a point, but will face one of the toughest opponents possible when he meets Ratt! Only one Hall of Famer will survive when United: Mimik takes on "Y2Juggalo" Violent`J! Summer bad blood will be revisited when Marz faces United: The_Purple_Bunny. The sleeper of the round could just be "The Predator" TonyTheTiger versus "The Hitman" DECEPTION!

Tournament 82: Summer Grand Slam - Round 2
High caliber competition at the 2017 Summer Grand Slam pushed the Second Round into just about every conceivable outcome! There were shock upsets, a seed elimination, MAX Damage, close fought contests, walkthrough byes -- and even the first-ever double withdrawal!
Expectations were immediately thrown out in the first fight when reigning Undisputed Champion and #1 seed Damo was upset by Statix! It was a bad case of deja vu, reminding everyone of Damo's Round 2 loss in the Mid-Year Grand Slam! That result earned Poasty the moniker of "Champion of Champions", and as #4 seed, he earned another confident win in Round 2 against 4-time Div.2 Champ: SubScorpTile! Thanks to unprecedented circumstances: Poasty will advance straight to the Fourth Round -- completely skipping the Third via a bye!
The Pacific Connection may've dominated at All-Star Summer Showdown, but Oozaru infamously left the league early last year when the random draw of Tournament 66 pit him against his partner: Banging. Fate once again matched Oozaru and Banging in the Second Round, and Oozaru again refused to fight his friend. Unwilling to take advantage, Banging also declined to advance, resulting in a double withdrawal! It means the 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam winner is out of the tournament - and Poasty gets that bye in Round 3!
Allegiances were also tested when members of The United met in the Second Round. Mimik did not shy away from the contest, finding himself hungry for tournament success in another inter-team contest! He earned a convincing win against Shoe, but one wonders what the cost of advancement may be considering his battles last year with Hokey, and earlier this year against TPB. Not a concern he'll have to worry about until the finals. The_Purple_Bunny advanced with a solid win against notorious "Italian Bishop" Shen_DuHBK.
#3 seed and KFL Champ United: Mime had no trouble dealing with Jammer2Omega in a match-up that drew curiosity. He'll face J2O's partner in the Third Round after Porygonix advanced against Killswitch. #2 seed VenoMark was also a comfortable winner against Mime's teammate, United: Murdoink. He'll face one-half of The 5 Minuet Kismet duo - MKMaster.
Only one Hall of Famer fell out of the race in Round 2: Division 2 Champion Shinnokxz earned a big scalp when he beat the much talked about Rockey316! It was smooth sailing for Marz thanks to a bye provided by a Day 2 draw. Shamrock earned a solid win against Red_Spaniard of The Red Reign. Kron delivered one of two MAX Damage wins of the day against upstart GuiltyByDesign. The other came when Violent`J brought an end to the run of J-Spit, who suffered the direst of consequences from his defeat. J-Spit marks the second sidelined casualty from the 2017 Summer Grand Slam.

Expectations were immediately thrown out in the first fight when reigning Undisputed Champion and #1 seed Damo was upset by Statix! It was a bad case of deja vu, reminding everyone of Damo's Round 2 loss in the Mid-Year Grand Slam! That result earned Poasty the moniker of "Champion of Champions", and as #4 seed, he earned another confident win in Round 2 against 4-time Div.2 Champ: SubScorpTile! Thanks to unprecedented circumstances: Poasty will advance straight to the Fourth Round -- completely skipping the Third via a bye!
The Pacific Connection may've dominated at All-Star Summer Showdown, but Oozaru infamously left the league early last year when the random draw of Tournament 66 pit him against his partner: Banging. Fate once again matched Oozaru and Banging in the Second Round, and Oozaru again refused to fight his friend. Unwilling to take advantage, Banging also declined to advance, resulting in a double withdrawal! It means the 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam winner is out of the tournament - and Poasty gets that bye in Round 3!
Allegiances were also tested when members of The United met in the Second Round. Mimik did not shy away from the contest, finding himself hungry for tournament success in another inter-team contest! He earned a convincing win against Shoe, but one wonders what the cost of advancement may be considering his battles last year with Hokey, and earlier this year against TPB. Not a concern he'll have to worry about until the finals. The_Purple_Bunny advanced with a solid win against notorious "Italian Bishop" Shen_DuHBK.
#3 seed and KFL Champ United: Mime had no trouble dealing with Jammer2Omega in a match-up that drew curiosity. He'll face J2O's partner in the Third Round after Porygonix advanced against Killswitch. #2 seed VenoMark was also a comfortable winner against Mime's teammate, United: Murdoink. He'll face one-half of The 5 Minuet Kismet duo - MKMaster.
Only one Hall of Famer fell out of the race in Round 2: Division 2 Champion Shinnokxz earned a big scalp when he beat the much talked about Rockey316! It was smooth sailing for Marz thanks to a bye provided by a Day 2 draw. Shamrock earned a solid win against Red_Spaniard of The Red Reign. Kron delivered one of two MAX Damage wins of the day against upstart GuiltyByDesign. The other came when Violent`J brought an end to the run of J-Spit, who suffered the direst of consequences from his defeat. J-Spit marks the second sidelined casualty from the 2017 Summer Grand Slam.

Tournament 82: Summer Grand Slam - Day 2
The encore to the All-Star Summer Showdown continued with Day 2 of the annual 2017 Summer Grand Slam! The bottom half of Round 1 delivered more hard-hitting, star-studded eliminating as the final prestigious Grand Slam Tournament for the year brought out all the big names!
#3 seed and KFL Champion United: Mime picked up one of two MAX Damage wins on Day 2! He utterly destroyed Brexiteer Liam in the opening match! United: The_Purple_Bunny delivered the other ultimate destruction, destroying another prominent figure from the Duo Division: edge! The #2 seed VenoMark was next most destructive in his Round 1 win, dominating Mo2 for -20p!
We learned the random draw has evenly distributed eight Hall of Famers competing in this year's Summer Grand Slam! Kron ruined the glendi of The Greek Crisis' Summer comeback by beating maxilos. ICWW All-Stars Marz, Rockey316, and a DOAX returning Shamrock, were also confident First Round winners!
The Mid-Year Grand Slam was a bloodless event, but "The Predator" TonyTheTiger reminded everyone of his lethal potential when he executed the first fatal victory of Tournament 82! Many competitors have been trying to break "Wild Pegasus" Zentile, but for the last two years he's managed to fight on the edge. His high-risk style finally caught up with him in a devastating loss!
Day 2 of the Summer Grand Slam also had the distinction of featuring the first draw! xort was part of a Day 1 tie in the Mid-Year Grand Slam, and once again found himself fighting to a standstill, this time against Benjamin! A bizarre case of the same crud happening to the same guy twice!
"Mad Dog" Onryo was one of the shock exits of Day 2, losing an unlikely close fought bout to GuiltyByDesign! The second-half of the reigning Duo Division Champions was knocked out when NovaStarr defeated Scott-Howell. Duo Division hopefuls Jammer2Omega and Porygonix both bounced back from their All-Star Summer Showdown disappointment, with J2O claiming a big win against Nephrite to set-up a Round 2 clash with the KFL Champion!
Other big names to watch in the Second Round include: "The Hitman" DECEPTION, Division 2 Champion Shinnokxz, King Ken, Evil AlbertBeefcake, The_Hurricane, Shen_DuHBK, G0LD, MKMaster, SubMan799, and United: Murdoink.

Tournament 82: Summer Grand Slam - Day 1
There was no quit in the best competitors in the league as the 2017 Summer Grand Slam got under way just twenty-four hours after a massive All-Star Summer Showdown! The random bracket for Day 1 was a star-studded affair, with "The Chosen One" Damo (#1) and Poasty (#4) advancing from seeded placements at the top and bottom of the half-bracket!
Damo's win sets up another intriguing Second Round face-off, this time with ICWW All-Star Statix, who executed a staggering MAX Damage win against Politics. It was bad news for Politics' partner Menas, as well! He took the other MAX Damage loss at the hands of Genku, who eliminated Statix at All-Star Summer Showdown during the team clash between The Invasion and Mick's All-Stars!
There were strong, All-Star wins all across the First Round bracket! Four Hall of Fame competitors advanced with Ratt, United: Mimik, Violent`J, and Mid-Year Grand Slam winner Oozaru picking up good wins. "Red Nightmare" LordSkarlet, United: Artanix, United: Shoe, DaemonX, Banging, and DArqueBishop also advanced with strong results.
The biggest upset of the day was "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile, who lost an absolute shocker to BilboFett just twenty-four hours after her All Star-making victory against Kron! One-half of the Duo Division Champions, CCShadow, also had a surprising loss to Sgtf.
Jerrod advanced to the Second Round despite drawing the defending 2016 Summer Grand Slam champ, and reigning 2016 & 2017 Grand Slam Launch winner: ElJobber. ElJobber hoped to defend his crown, but was forced to make a last minute withdrawal after suffering a punishing Steel Cage Fight defeat at All-Star Summer Showdown! Cage winner VenoMark is expected to compete in the bottom half of the Summer Grand Slam bracket as #2 seed, on Day 2!
