UGP: Genku - Runner-Up No More!

He prefers to be called "The Great" Genku, but as Season 2013 unfolded, greatness has regularly eluded him! With a reputation for losing at the last minute growing, The Great Arena has come to know Genku better as "The Constant Runner-Up" or "The Bridesmaid"!

2013 should've marked the return of Genku back to the top of the ranks, but instead, it has been one disappointment after another! In January, he fell short in the Grand Final of the annual opening tournament [T25: Year Three Begins] -- an event he has won every previous year! A stint as KFL Champion ended shortly following, cut short after only a two week reign!

The January near-misses continued with an A-league contender match at Pre-Show 32: Royal Meltdown. Genku played second fiddle to an emerging Lord m0s, but opportunity still knocked. The loss delivered him to the annual Battle Royale 2013 where he was runner-up yet again, last man eliminated as Ratt earned the guaranteed main event Undisputed Championship match at Ultimate Grand Prix!

At February's Supercard 33: The Long Hard Road; Genku reprised his role as a Battle Royal runner-up, narrowly missing victory in a six-man match set to have greater ramifications in April when Tower of Power VII rolls around! With the UGP Season entering the final leg, Genku finally stepped it up to claim that overdue tournament win! He bested the likes of  legendary former champions Kron and Crow, taking the T27: Grand Prix Warm-Up title!

No longer stuck on the verge of greatness: Genku promises to End the Era of his role as Runner-Up! He'll do it on the greatest stage of them all, against the man who earned himself the rank of #2 Contender - the self-proclaimed "True #1": The_Purple_Bunny!

Genku and TPB know each other well!
It was The_Purple_Bunny who took the Undipusted Championship from Genku during his only reign, way back in 2011. History played out again when The_Purple_Bunny claimed that KFL Championship from Genku, in a rematch of their 2012 Armageddon final! They clashed again in the first event of the year, in a three-way match with fellow Daruma 7 winner, Lord m0s -- and it was TPB who became the next contender in waiting by eliminating Genku last in the SC33 six-man!

As the Championship threatens to eliminate one of The Great Arena's longest serving contenders - it will be the End of an Era and the beginning of a new one as Genku and The_Purple_Bunny take their bitter feud to the top of the league!

Supercard 34: Ultimate Grand Prix III - End of an Era Card:
1. "Iron Man No More" Ratt versus "Iron Man of Conquest" ElJobber (c) for the Undisputed Championship in an Iron Man Endurance Match!
2. The Great Genku versus The_Purple_Bunny to name the #1 Contender!
3. Ghostdragon & Pink_Ranger versus Artanix & foahchon (c) for the Duo Division Championships!
4. Grand Prix Battle Royal featuring King of the Battle Royal Mimik!

Ultimate Grand Prix III - End of an Era takes place April 7th!
Stay tuned as more UGP announcements come to fruition! The biggest event of the year!

Contenders Chosen for Feb. Championship Chase

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!
