2016 Master's Series - The Finals

The 2016 Master's Series brought the year to a crashing close with an intriguing Semi Final double header designed by four days of top ranking Heats!

The results from Class A and Class C meant reigning Duo Division Champions would meet in a friendly contest to determine which member of The United would make the final. A conspiratorial result reminiscent of their plans at Royal Roulette and rumors for Supercard 87, but it was merely a twist of fate that brought Artanix and Shoe against one another! They fought fair and well, but in the end, it was 2015 Master's Series Runner-Up Artanix who earned the first place!

The second bout proved decidedly more one-sided: Runner-up to the 2011 and 2012 Master's Series' ElJobber intent on making his third appearance in the finals! He completely steamrolled over The Alliance leader AlbertBeefcake, taking him down to the tune of a +7 impact!

The Grand Final ensured a former Master's Series Runner-Up would finally graduate to the elite list of year-end winners! ElJobber, the former Undisputed Champion with both a Grand Slam Launch and Summer Grand Slam title to his name this year. United: Artanix, one-half of the reigning Duo Division Champions who made history by ending the indomitable 420 day reign of Team Xtreme!

They ran into the fight with reckless abandon -- the entire year culminating in one final epic match! ElJobber - the well rounded heavyweight hit hard with a perfect attack. Artanix - the Duo Division specialist showed a base rooted in technique. They each had their strong points, but in the end, there was a clear winner. Adding his third tournament crown for 2016, and his first long awaited Master's Series title - ElJobber finished the year on top! The perfect book end to his 2016 run!

As he basked in the glory of his long awaited win, ElJobber sent an ominous message: If "Contender Elect" Genku thought he was going to get an Undisputed Championship match just because a bunch of idiots voted for him - he would have another thing coming! He beat Genku in Class B and at the 2017 Battle Royale in January - he would once again become the Undisputed Champion!

Tournament 76: The Master's Series - Semi Finals:
1. United: Artanix (c) d. United: Shoe (c) [+1]
2. ElJobber d. AlbertBeefcake [+7]

2016 Master's Series - Class D Heats

The final group of the 2016 Master's Series appeared to be the most unpredictable of the four rankings based assemblies. There was no definitive stand-out in the Class D Heats, the only Round Robin class to feature a field of Under 5k fighters specializing in Duo Division matches.

The opening bout proved just how evenly matched Class D would be. Politics and Jason_Voorhees colliding in a near draw! It was The Invasion fighter who would narrowly secure victory, forcing Politics to depart the grueling encounter for an immediate clash with Scott-Howell! The unenviable task was a seemingly foregone conclusion - Scott-Howell confident in victory. AlbertBeefcake finished Politics' winless run, summoning an incredible attack to comprehensively win!

The Invasion collapsed shockingly in the final week of Monday Night Invasion, and Jason_Voorhees fell apart in a similar fashion in his second bout. Scott-Howell completely dominated the match, executing a +10 impact that put him firmly at the top of the Class D qualifying table!

AlbertBeefcake took his turn with Jason_Voorhees, recalling the rivalry that began with Jason's betrayal of The Alliance back at the beginning. Once upon a time they were ICWW Tag Team Champions, but now they were bitter rivals. Voorhees summoned a much stronger offense for the grudge match, but Albert never the less earned a solid win, setting up another sudden death decider!

Throughout 2016 AlbertBeefcake and Scott-Howell had played rivals in the Duo Division rankings.  Last week saw The Alliance overtake CCShadow & Howell in the ranks, and AlbertBeefcake seemed determined to overtake Howell in the 2016 Master's Series! It was by far the hardest hitting match of this round of Heats. AlbertBeefcake qualifying for the Semi Finals!

1. Jason_Voorhees d. Politics [+1]
2. Scott-Howell d. Politics [+1]

2016 Master's Series - Class C Heats

Like his partner Jammer2Omega in the Class B Heats; Porygonix faced long odds as a last minute qualifier entering Class C Heats for the 2016 Master's Series!

His field wasn't populated with the same degree of heavyweight opposition, but his first opponent would be the Class C favourite: "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile! CTR lived up to the hype as she introduced the 2016 Duo Division prospect with a hard hitting, convincing win. He could've been forgiven for staggering into another loss, but Porygonix rallied for his second match against 3-time Division 2 Champion: Benjamin!

With an unlikely win at his back, Porygonix then stepped up to an opponent that interested him greatly - reigning Duo Division Champion: Shoe! The United fighter made history at Supercard 87: End Of Days by combining with Artanix to upset "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J -- ending their 420 day streak as Duo Division Champions! For hopeful title challenger Porygonix, the tournament match was a chance to test himself against one-half of the new champs! A test that burnt him terribly as Shoe unleashed a whirlwind offense against the lone Duo rising star!

CaTigeReptile repeated her +3 rated success with a second comprehensive win, over Benjamin, but found stiff opposition when revisiting her major rival prior to the war with The Invasion! Shoe had the edge in their final encounter at Supercard 86: Survivor Sequence - Invasion, and one-on-one he was able to catch The Guardian on the back foot, as well! They fought hard, but CaTigeReptile's post-war celebrations were put on hold as Shoe secured an equalizing second victory!

With with a +5 impact rating advantage of CaTigeReptile, Shoe didn't even need to win his final match to qualify for the Semi Finals. For Benjamin, it was an opportunity to pick up a win against a casual, over confident opponent. Alas, Shoe was simply too good! An effortless win confirming his unblemished Class C win. His qualification sets up an intriguing contest of Duo Division Champions - Artanix versus Shoe our first confirmed Semi Final match!

Tournament 76: The Master's Series - Class C Heats:
1. "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile d. Porygonix [+3]
2. Porygonix d. Benjamin [+1]
3. United: Shoe (c) d. Porygonix [+10]
4. "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile d. Benjamin [+3]

2016 Master's Series - Class B Heats

Jammer2Omega may have been regretting his efforts to qualify for the 2016 Master's Series on Day 2 - the Class B Heats. Of the four classes assembled, it was B widely tipped to be the most hotly contested, populated with some of the biggest names in The Great Arena!

J2O was quickly thrown into the fire as newly minted Hall of Famer Hokey started the trial off with a comprehensive, if non-violent win. ElJobber was less forgiving in his total domination of the Duo Division star - forgiving at only a +7 rated impact! "Invasion Contender Elect" Genku finished the gauntlet of hard knocks with another +7 rated defeat! Hard lessons for the winless Jammer2Omega, but valuable experience as he rides his 2016 successes into a bright future.

With the aberration out of the way, the Master's Series contenders lined up to duke it out for a spot in the final! ElJobber got himself an early lead, fighting 2016 rival Hokey to a competitive result. The Hall of Famer ramped up his efforts for his last chance to qualify for the Master's Series final, but so too did scandalized Invasion Contender Genku! The stakes were reflected in the hard hitting duel - Genku able to eke out a much needed win!

With 2 wins and a +8 impact rating to their names: ElJobber and Genku entered a sudden death face-off! For Genku, it was a desperately needed opportunity to correct his January contention prospects, jeopardized by a loss at Supercard 87: End Of Days, the shocking finale of Monday Night Invasion, and accusations of Electoral Fraud! He attacked the battle with appropriate gusto, but ElJobber wasn't backing down! The two-time Master's Series runner-up sat December out, and that may have been the difference. ElJobber wrestling his way to qualification for the Semi Finals!

Tournament 76: The Master's Series - Class B Heats:
1. Hokey d. Jammer2Omega [+1]

2016 Master's Series - Class A Heats

The December 16 fall of ShawnMichaels ensured it was an anomalous start to the 2016 Master's Series. The #13 fighter's inability to compete meant a unique situation where only three fighters would contest the Class A Heats -- a predicament that played out in the most difficult way!

United: Artanix and The_Hurricane looked like two fighters who'd just fought an entire year when they kicked off the event. The fatigued performances enabled The_Hurricane to eke out a win over one half of the Duo Division Champions. A result that was quickly remedied as Artanix lifted his game against reigning KFL Champion Banging!

The United emerged as a title holding powerhouse from Supercard 87: End Of Days. Their bravado continued on the year's final Monday Night Invasion, where they boldly proclaimed they "cancelled" The Invasion! As KFL Champion, Banging has been The Invasion's hope at the year's close. He lived up to that status, pushing Artanix to the wire in a hard fought match. He couldn't get the much needed win, though. A result that put The_Hurricane in the driver's seat -- the last fighter able to earn a second victory from the Class A Heats!

Banging maintained his competitive level in the third match, earning a solid victory against his Alliance rival. The third result decided with a minimum +1 impact, it meant all three competitors tied with one win each! This forced Class A into a three-way sudden death match, where Banging fell to The_Hurricane in the first elimination. Only for United: Artanix to turn on the magic - dominating the final stage to confirm his advancement to the Semi Finals!
