April 2, 2011 -- With the weight of the biggest Supercard in history hanging over The Great Arena, the atmosphere was intense. This Saturday Pre-Show may have been designed as a warm-up for things to come, but for fifteen of competitors entering Tournament 4, Pre-Show 4 would be their main event!
As it would happen, three competitors would be vying for an opportunity to progress to a Thirty-Person Battle Royal at the biggest event of all time, with rxvt & Mark pitting their odds against qualifying Pre-Show 3 rivals, xtactics & Celeste, in a second roll of the dice!
A fourth man would exit Pre-Show 4 with designs to win the Grand Prix mixer, a surprise big enough to eclipse the emergence of one of the fabled fighting figures from outside The Great Arena -- the awaited arrival of one of the elusive 7 Masters! The answers lie ahead in the final stop before the Great Arena saga enters its biggest chapter -- Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix - The Arena Spectacular!
3. Ken & Ratt defeated m0s & STEROLIZER in a team decimation!
Given Ken's recent history with m0s and STEROLIZER, it was far from a lighthearted affair in this Grand Prix Battle Royal preview. Adding to the weight of the encounter, Ratt's marquee double that turned into a triple, when he used the Battle Royal preview match as a launching pad to announce himself as a special thirty-first entrant into the Grand Prix scramble! Ratt famously earned his "Iron Man" reputation when he lasted over an hour at Supercard 1: 2011 Battle Royale!
The decision came during euphoric celebrations after Ken and Ratt marched to a comprehensive victory over the challengers in this main event. Just as they had when Ken answered Ratt's open challenge at Pre-Show 3, the makeshift pairing remained amicable, knowing full well that they could be forced to do combat at the biggest showcase of them all -- a Supercard where Ratt will face the overwhelming odds of a Thirty-One Person Battle Royal, before butting heads with Revenant Genku in one of the many marquee matches scheduled for Supercard 4!
2. Grandmaster Wah Hung-Shen defeated Supreme Warrior
It was a moment of shock and awe! Long have there been rumors of a fabled stable of 7 Masters, but until now, no one could've been certain if it was fact or fiction! Despite the electric presence of this master of martial arts, the Supreme Warrior appeared in his element, thrilled to have had his open challenge answered by such an awe inspiring force. The Supreme Warrior was positively swelling in the presence of a fighter who has been claimed to be able to harness the energy of cheevs to be redirected as force.
Grandmaster Wah Hung-Shen did not disappoint, unleashing a power that no mere mortal in The Great Arena could hope to comprehend. His victory over Supreme Warrior was as comprehensive as it was humble. The Grandmaster left as quickly as he came, accompanied by two of his martial arts disciples. The demonstration no doubt sends a clear message to Lord Mislukking, who is said to have assumed membership within the 7 Masters upon his arrival in the Cheevment Kingdom, when he is said to have killed one of them.
1. xtactics & Celeste defeated rxvt & Mark in a close match!
With their guaranteed positions in the Thirty-Person Battle Royal on the line, it was a tentative team-up between xtactics and Celeste. It was at Pre-Show 3 that each of them scored narrow victories over rxvt and Mark in the qualifying rounds, creating fair question for their ability to withstand a second round. Fortunately for them, they did exactly that!
First-time pairings both, they put in an exceptionally close matching, equal in every way to the close fought qualifying matches that produced this grudge bout! The closeness of the fight provided little consolation to rxvt, who blamed his partner for their lack of success. Oozing venom and contempt, rxvt challenged partner, Mark, to a match in the near future!
Tournament 4: Grand Prix Warm-Up First Round:
1. Casselman defeated ThePredator151 in a nail biter!
2. kingjolly defeated Politics by a narrow margin!
3. Jerrod defeated Vultyrex in another close fight!
4. NovaStarr defeated Skaven13 in another nail biter!
5. ScottK defeated muttonhead in another close match!
6. Jammer2Omega defeated CCShadow in a solid win.
7. Shoe defeated SlumDunk in a comprehensive win.
8. SubMan799 defeated JRF in another narrow win!
Tournament 4: Grand Prix Warm-Up Second Round:
1. Casselman defeated kingjolly by a narrow margin!
2. Jerrod defeated NovaStarr in a close fight!
3. Jammer2Omega defeated ScottK in a comprehensive +3 win!
4. Shoe defeated SubMan799 in a +4 decimation!
Tournament 4: Grand Prix Warm-Up Semi Finals:
1. Casselman defeated Jerrod in a solid win.
Emerging from two exceptionally close fought battles, Casselman finally appeared to be hitting his stride in the Semi Final, exhibiting the strengths acquired from recent extra-event competition. Though it was a modest impact in result, Casselman showed the promise of a potential up-and-comer in The Great Arena, delivering a victory that could've been more punishing under different circumstances.
2. Shoe defeated Jammer2Omega in a comprehensive win!
You could be forgiven for thinking Shoe was a Great Arena veteran, completely forgetting that Tournament 4 marked his debut in organized competition! The debuting fighter quickly established himself a firm favourite in the early rounds, one of only two fighters to do away with their opponents in convincing fashion. To this point, Jammer2Omega had been the other warrior to look fit enough to progress to the Thirty-Person Grand Prix Battle Royal, but his streak was ended early by the dominant Shoe!
Tournament 4: Grand Prix Warm-Up Final:
1. Shoe defeated Casselman in a +5 decimation!
Despite glimpses at future potential, Casselman was no match for the clear favourite! Having dismissed a more convincing challenger in the previous round, Shoe marched to a punishing victory, looking like a seasoned competitor more than ready to hang with the upper echelon! His victory not only secures a place in the Thirty-Person Grand Prix Battle Royal, but also asserts Shoe as a future contender in The Great Arena! His acid test will come when he goes toe-to-toe with an eclectic mix of fighters that include Ken, Porygonix, Chromatose, m0s, and after his shock announcement, a thirty-first entrant, Ratt!
With Pre-Show 4 officially concluded, anticipation for the biggest event in the history of The Great Arena could not be higher! Business will officially pick up tomorrow when the biggest names in competition arrive for Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix - The Arena Spectacular!
"The Iron Man" Ratt looks to do the impossible when he completes a circuit of three matches in one weekend, challenging a Thirty-One Person Battle Royal before ending his feud with the undead Revenant Genku! Cr0w & Kron put their differences aside in an attempt to "End Famine and Pestilence" in The Great Arena! Toryn defends his Undisputed Championship against hot contender, ElJobber, and so much more! The time is now! Immortality is within reach, history beckons! Do not miss it -- Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix - The Arena Spectacular!

HYPE: Who Are the 7 Masters? (And More!)
Not a hoax! Not a dream! Not an imaginary story!
Everyone knows about Lord Mislukking's violent arrival in the Cheevment Kingdom and conquest of the throne, but what most don't know about are the intricate details that surrounded his rapid rise. Long before these dark times, balance was maintained by a secretive group known as the Seven Masters. Though their relevance had waned, the arrival of Lord Mislukking meant the death of one of their number and a vile reminder of their importance.
Lord Mislukking now counts himself among the order of time honored masters, but with the biggest moment in Great Arena history mere days away, rumors have spread throughout the land of a return for one of the 7 Masters. Who they are and what they intend to do will remain to be seen, but if these 7 Masters truly exist beyond myth, then Lord Mislukking's seemingly unchallenged hold may finally be subject to change.
With the big weekend kicking off tomorrow, there will be no April Fools here! Only a final flurry of announcements and comments in the build toward the biggest event in the history of The Great Arena -- the opportunity for immortality -- Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix - The Arena Spectacular!
- More Mysterious Men Meet at Supercard 4!
They haven't been seen in The Great Arena since Tournament 1, but it can be officially announced that the SixArmedSamurai will face off against Aqua in a very special exhibition bout on the Supercard 4 showcase! Their battle is sure to be intense!
- ElJobber Confident Ahead of Championship match!
The Battle Royale 2011 winner has been forced to admit the statistical mountain he faces when he meets current Undisputed Champion, Toryn, at Supercard 4. In a recent tale of the tape, it was pointed out that ElJobber has never defeated Toryn, who also owns a more complete list of victories and accolades. Even so, ElJobber has been supremely confident ahead of his Sunday main event, promising to bring the Undisputed Championship back to the people.
- The Tower of Power is Coming!...
The stakes are already high as we countdown to Supercard 4, but they're about to get even higher as The Great Arena announces Supercard 5: The Tower of Power -- a special April 17 event that will grant up to fourteen competitors the opportunity to challenge for the Undisputed Championship! An announcement will be made after Supercard 4 concerning the new unofficial top ten rankings, which will then create a ladder of contestants who will fight consecutive elimination matches until the last man standing challenges Toryn or ElJobber for the Undisputed Championship!
- "The Iron Man" Ratt is Ready to Make History!
Two big matches in two big days -- all just a day in the life of "The Iron Man" Ratt, who will not only face-off against Revenant Genku in the biggest show of the year, but will also warm-up with a Pre-Show 4 team battle against m0s & STEROLIZER! Anyone convinced the marathon man is biting off more than he can chew would do well to pay attention to the breaking news -- Ratt has picked up his 1000th victory in and out of the Great Arena! No mean feat and a stern warning to Genku and his conspirators!
- Cr0w & Kron Vow to End Famine & Pestilence!
Their relationship remains incredibly tense, but these two legends of The Great Arena remain dedicated to the prospect of finally putting a dent in the arrogant rule of the Order of the Four Barons! They'll need to work together, though. After Cr0w picked up the first ever win over War during the week -- the Baron unleashed a newfound enthusiasm for punishment, which included exhibition wins over both fighters, individually!

HYPE: Revenant Genku vs Ratt II Confirmed!
When Ratt booked himself a showdown against Genku for Pre-Show 3, it seemed like any other fight. Genku chose to throw himself upon the sword of Lord Mislukking in the build-up, however, leaving everyone guessing about who would be Ratt's replacement opponent. The last person Ratt expected to walk down The Long Hard Road was Genku himself!
Genku was recently revealed to have been risen from his grave by Sinvida Von Grimm -- The Baron of Death. Possessing all the powers he had in life, Revenant Genku got the better of Ratt in his surprise arrival at Supercard 3 -- but has remained silent amidst Ratt's fevered calls for a rematch against the dishonored deadman.
The silence has been broken, however, as Revenant Genku is submitted for a rematch against Ratt on the biggest stage of them all -- Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix - The Arena Spectacular! The clash will be a marquee battle on the April 3 card, which includes a frontline fight between representatives of The Union of The Human League, Cr0w & Kron, and Mislukking's Barons of Famine and War, Bez Busshitsu & Praga Conquette.
Ironically enough, the blow-up between the two factions began when Ratt was ambushed by Famine at Pre-Show 3: The Road to Redemption in a second response to his open challenge (after a victory over Ken). The underhanded tactic was enough to inspire Cr0w to declare a need to "End Famine" in The Great Arena amidst growing tensions between Human League fighters and Lord Mislukking's horsemen.
Of course, Revenant Genku's entry into the challenge is itself seems to have come under similar circumstances, with Ratt already accepting a place in the April 2 Pre-Show 4: Grand Prix Warm-Up, where he will tag with Ken in a preview of the Supercard Sunday Battle Royal! Given the timing, it's almost certain that the obligation is exactly what the Mislukking camp was waiting for. If anyone can tackle the challenge of two matches in two nights, it's "The Iron Man" Ratt -- the fan-favourite who earned a reputation for true grit after he lasted over an hour in the Forty-Person Battle Royale of Supercard 1!
With the blockbuster challenge added to the card, Supercard 4 is living up to the hype of the biggest event in history!
1. ElJobber versus Toryn (c) for the Championship! [Preview]
2. Cr0w & Kron versus Famine & Pestilence in a frontline clash!
3. Revenant Genku versus Ratt in a bitter blockbuster rematch!
4. TonyTheTiger versus Mimik in a top ten rankings battle!

6. DeathScepter & DaMo versus Hokey & Ninja_Mime
7. Scott-Howell & Murdoink versus Mystery Opponents
April 2 is Pre-Show 4: Grand Prix Warm-Up:
1. Ken & Ratt versus m0s & STEROLIZER Battle Royal Preview!
2. Supreme Warrior will debut to issue an open challenge.
3. xtactics & Celeste versus rxvt & Mark winners enter Battle Royal

HYPE: War Philosophical Ahead of Supercard!
As one of the most present and dangerous members of The Order of Four Barons, Ares Mensclich has earned a reputation as a fighter not to be messed with. Affectionately known as the Baron of War, he has made a habit of finishing fights with convincing certainty, delighting in the art of combat wherever it presents itself!
So confident was Menschlich that, during Tournament 1, he removed himself from the Finals stages, satisfied that no fighter would be able to defeat him in fair combat! A fact that was true until yesterday, when an unofficial battle between he and former Undisputed Champion, Cr0w, produced War's first defeat in 147 battles!
Desipte a character that embraces conflict, the Baron of War has been philosophical in his defeat. As tensions mount between members of the Order of Four Barons and The Union of The Human League; Mislukking's Great Arena representative has chosen to focus on the impact of the result on competition. He described Cr0w's win as a welcome challenge to the status quo, and a sure sign that he and Kron will be legitimate challengers to Famine & Pestilence when they meet at Supercard 4. He did, however, hint at the possibility of a reprisal, adding that he will be in The Great Arena on April 3, with a view to fight someone.
Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix - The Arena Spectacular happens April 3 with a cavalcade of stars featured in some of the biggest matches in Great Arena history! Immortality awaits the winners of matches involving Cr0w, Kron, Mimik, Ratt, Hokey, Ninja_Mime, TonyTheTiger, Ken, Porygonix, Scott-Howell & Murdoink, and many more!
Stay tuned for daily updates in the countdown to the massive April weekend, which includes a very special Pre-Show 4: Grand Prix Warm-Up event on Saturday, where Ratt will team with Ken against m0s & STEROLIZER in a Grand Prix Battle Royal preview, plus so much more!

HYPE: Shoe Walks into Tournament 4!
Pre-Show 4: Grand Prix Warm-Up will be a very special April 2 preview ahead of the April 3 Supercard Sunday. Among the attractions is a special tag team grudge match between Grand Prix Battle Royal competitors, m0s & STEROLIZER, facing-off against the impressive combo of Ken and his surprised Pre-Show partner, Ratt! Also on the card, the debut of a strange individual claiming to hail from the year 3000 -- the Supreme Warrior; plus another bitter team bout to determine two places in the Sunday Thirty-Person Battle Royal.
The Grand Prix Battle Royal will loom large over the Pre-Show event, determining not only two of it's marquee battles, but also a sixteen person elimination bracket for Tournament 4: Grand Prix Warm-Up, with the winner advancing to the thirty-person showcase.
Among the as yet unannounced sixteen will be a warrior who is yet to make a name for himself in The Great Arena, but has established credibility as a fighter in other venues -- Shoe! Shoe previously shied away from competition, but has embraced the prospect of entering the biggest event in the history of organized competition -- Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix - The Arena Spectacular!
Shoe will be expected to enter Tournament 4 a hot favourite, likely to meet an eclectic mix of names missing out on the big show. Expected among the sixteen will be fighters who failed to qualify in their March 20 one-on-one battles at Pre-Show 3: The Road to Redemption.

Breaking News: War Goes 146-1 in Shock Defeat!
It's not at all unusual for fights to break out routinely outside The Great Arena. While organized events have played a vital role in maintaining order since the arrival of Lord Mislukking; it's a well acccepted fact that battles will break out spontaneously between Mislukking's lower ranked minions, various Human League fighters, and creatures manifesting naturally in the environment.
Occasionally, Mislukking and members of his Order of Four Barons are known to get involved in the action. To date, it's been taken for granted that Ares Menschlich -- the Baron of War -- is among the most powerful fighters, second in dominance only to Lord Mislukking himself. Well, the undefeated impossibility of Menschlich's might exists no more!
After dominating opponents for one hundred and forty-six encounters, War finally met his match in an impromptu battle with former Undisputed Champion, Cr0w! The victory comes as tensions continue to build between members of The Union of The Human League and Mislukking's forces, which led to Cr0w's March 22 declaration to "End Famine". This bold assault sends a clear message as Cr0w attempts to rise as The Human League's ultimate warrior, a positive omen ahead of the Supercard 4 encounter that will see Kron join Cr0w in his attempt to fight the power!
Kron and Cr0w are traditional arch-rivals, but it was March 25 that Kron announced his intentions to form a temporary alliance with his nemesis in the name of avenging a cowardly assault on Ratt, and fighting their villainous overloards. The alliance sets up a marquee encounter against Famine & Pestilence [aka; Bez Busshitsu & Praga Conquette] at the biggest event The Great Arena has ever hosted -- April 3's Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix - The Arena Spectacular!

HYPE: OG Howell & Murdoink Must Earn Stripes!
At January's Supercard 1: Battle Royale 2011; a surprising feud presented itself when Murdoink took the fight to Scott-Howell in reprisal of a previous encounter during eliminations of Tournament 1! At Pre-Show 2: Champion's Revenge, Murdoink finally got the better of his rival, but out of this clash came a newfound respect that led the pair to become The Great Arena's first official duo!
At Supercard 3: The Long Hard Road "Sugar" Scott-Howell & Murdoink debuted as a tandem in the first ever team battle, facing-off against the high quality makeshift combo of Hokey & Ninja_Mime. Against the spontaneous chemistry of the two highly ranked individuals, Howell & Murdoink came up short, but their status as the affectionately referred "original" team was canonized.
Hokey & Mime's success will now garner the interests of new challengers [namely; DeathScepter & DaMo] -- making Supercard 4 a must-win opportunity for Scott-Howell & Murdoink to earn their stripes on the biggest stage of them all, without the benefit of a rematch.
Howell & Murdoink will be at the disadvantage, however. Despite their teaming experience, they will know nothing of their opponents coming in to the biggest show of them all, set to face a mystery combination who will reveal themselves on April 3! This will be the ultimate test for a team that has the sentimental vote, but will need to start backing that up to survive the harsh conditions of The Great Arena floor!
With the addition of this mystery encounter, the card now has some serious heft! There'll be three big team fights come April 3:
1. ElJobber versus Toryn (c) for the Championship! [Preview]
2. Cr0w & Kron versus Famine & Pestilence in a frontline clash!
3. TonyTheTiger versus Mimik in a top ten rankings battle!
4. Thirty-Person Grand Prix Battle Royal featuring: Ken, m0s, STEROLIZER, Porygonix, Chromatose, onryo, Vultyrex, Celeste, Tyrant-Cenobite, Menas, AlexanderLuthorJr, unixpunk, Buster, ThirtyThr33, as well as winners of Tournament 4 and a special tag bout at Pre-Show 4!
5. DeathScepter & DaMo versus Hokey & Ninja_Mime
6. Scott-Howell & Murdoink versus Mystery Opponents
It's the show so big, it's going to take two days to fit it all in!
April 2 marks the official launch of the big weekend, starting with Pre-Show 4: Grand Prix Warm-Up -- where Tournament 4 will decide a final entrant into the Thirty-Person Grand Prix Battle Royal, and Ken & Ratt team in the main event against m0s & STEROLIZER in a preview of that match. PLUS! The Supreme Warrior debuts with an open challenge, and the Grand Prix Battle Royal is shaped further when xtactics and Celeste defend their qualifying spot!
Then, Sunday is the biggest event to ever occur in the history of The Great Arena! Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix - The Arena Spectacular will bring together the best and brightest in a showcase of the hottest feuds and most skilled competitors! An all-star blockbuster cast includes the championship decider between ElJobber and Toryn; an unlikely team-up between legends of the fight, Cr0w and Kron, who want to End Famine and Pestilence in The Great Arena; a massive Thirty-Person Grand Prix Battle Royal, and so much more! All the action will be in The Great Arena thanks to #MicksDesk, April 3!
Stay tuned right here for daily updates on all of the developing feuds and match-ups for this weekend! Updates stretch back more than a week, so you can know exactly how it all came together on the day fighters became legends!
