The United lose their first game of VS United to the ICWW All-Stars on Monday, then produce only the third team in Great Arena history to bear Team Xtreme on Sunday! It was one helluva week with a whole lot happening, and we're just seven days away from All-Star Summer Showdown!
I thought Dead Or Alive X lacked some of the undercard punch you get with a full Supercard, but I'm happy with the way it blended the ICWW 15th Anniversary with a sense of moving forward. These weren't just nostalgic exhibition bouts. There were real stakes and competitors who've been active for the last year and a half. A lot to work with and I think it came together well.
I would've liked to see The Pacific Connection take Duo Division gold out of DOAX. Their matches with CCShadow & Scott-Howell have all been top shelf, but after four attempts, it's hard to see them going further. There just seems to be something about the champs Oozaru & Banging can't beat! It means the All-Star return of Ratt & NightHawk will be more than just a Spring Classic grudge match. The champs will be the underdogs for the first time in a while as they defend against the awesome, unpredictable might of Rattamania!
The next logical contenders seem to be "The New Generation" DECEPTION & Onryo, but it'll be interesting to see what Baraka_MK & MKMaster can do with their most high-profile match to date! It was nice to see Mark & Leroy bouncing back on the weekend after being squeezed between the New Gen rivals.
Pre-Show 97 sorted out the secondary title bouts for this Sunday. I thought G0LD was the lock for a Division 2 title match, but it looks like fighting on the edge has worked for "Wild Pegasus" Zentile! That high stakes style carried him through a memorable title series last year. He'll be an intriguing test for Shinnokxz in his first defense! Evil AlbertBeefcake will be a serious threat to the KFL title when he takes on United: Mime, too!
It's the final countdown to Supercard 97: All-Star Summer Showdown! Make sure you're here all week for the final developments. With so much going on in the Summer, there are still a lot of major players to fall into place! It's all about the Undisputed Championship main event: "The Champion of Champions" Poasty versus "The Chosen One" Damo -- but there is so much more! I can't wait!
