The third Grand Slam Tournament of the annual calendar is almost upon us! Tournament 81: 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam is scheduled to pick up right where Supercard 95: Tower of Power XIX leaves off! The 128-fighter elimination bracket will be fought over a week of non-stop tournament action starting Monday, June 19th!
The 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam promises to be a tournament quite unlike any we've seen so far this year! With the Grand Slam Launch eliminating Hall of Fame competitors, and the Grand Prix Warm-Up seeing some fighters opt out to save themselves for Ultimate Grand Prix -- the Mid-Year Grand Slam will be the event that brings all eligible fighters to the arena for one massive, randomly drawn 128-fighter competition!
Reigning Undisputed Champion ElJobber and Tower of Power #1 "The Chosen One" Damo will be entered as the top two seeds pending the outcome of Supercard 95! Two additional seeds will be chosen after Tower of Power XIX, with "The Hitman" DECEPTION favoured as the reigning 2017 Grand Prix Warm-Up winner. Other competitors vying for a top 4 seed will be VenoMark, United: Mimik, United: The_Purple_Bunny, "Red Nightmare" LordSkarlet, "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile and "The Predator" TonyTheTiger!
Any one of them could rise to claim the prestigious honor of being Mid-Year Grand Slam! A regular fixture since 2013; former winners include Hall of Fame legends Ratt and Crow, who both had to beat Hall of Fame legends Kron and Violent`J to claim victory! The Grand Slam format clearly favours the legendary, but history shows it can also be contested in truly unexpected conditions! Never was there a more surprising final than in 2014, when Statix and Baraka_MK competed for the crown!
Former Mid-Year Grand Slam Finalists:
1. Crow d. Kron - Tournament 5: War for the Kr0wn (May 15, 2011)
2. Genku d. Mime - Tournament 31: Mid-Year Grand Slam 2013 (June 30, 2013)
3. Statix d. Baraka_MK - Tournament 44: Mid-Year Grand Slam 2014 (June 29, 2014)
4. The_Purple_Bunny d. Kron - Tournament 56: Mid-Year Grand Slam 2015 (June 28, 2015)
5. Ratt d. Violent`J - Tournament 68: Mid-Year Grand Slam (June 26, 2016)
Tournament 81: 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam begins right after Supercard 95 - June 19th--25th!
Be here for all the action Sunday as the ten greatest contenders in the league assemble for Tower of Power XIX! The Undisputed Championship will be on the line as The Challenger 7 attempt the feat of scaling The Tower, before it turns inward on itself until there is only one champion left standing!

Genku Doubts Invasion Talent
Jason_Voorhees & edge may have the faith of league officials -- but Genku still isn't convinced!
The Invasion tandem earned their second Duo Division Championship opportunity with a strong victory during last week's Friday Night Fights. League spokesman Mick appeared personally to announce their contention for Pre-Show 95: Tower Defense, where they delivered a legitimate test against veteran champions: CCShadow & Scott-Howell!
Three weeks on from his hostile takeover of The Invasion: Genku remains unmoved by the apparent success of The Invasion's most promising duo: Jason_Voorhees & edge. He called their Duo Division title matches "inexcusable failures", and feels the pair aren't "-- anywhere near talented enough, or successful enough, to even be in the same building as me. Let alone [standing] by my side."
Genku explained the two "failures" he fought with on May 26th and June 2nd aren't cutting it, and are making "jobbers look like MEGASTARS". He cited his multiple past championships as the standard he expects, claiming he's "used to succeeding at the highest levels" and wants only "the best" surrounding him.
Despite his harsh assessment, Genku also vowed to grant Jason_Voorhees & edge a "benevolent" last chance this week during Friday Night Fights.
Genku issued an open challenge to any fighters who want to face The Invasion. If they fail to win again, he plans to start looking elsewhere for allies, possibly The United, or resort to a one-man Invasion.
Genku will also compete this weekend in Tower of Power XIX, challenging the top ten contenders as a guaranteed participant of The Challenger 7. He blames officials for deliberately keeping him from his rightful place at the top of The Tower, despite suffering a crushing +7 defeated when "The Predator" TonyTheTiger answered his challenge to Tower contenders last week.

Monday Night Games (June 12, 2017)
The United may have emerged victorious from last week's special edition of VS United, but it was Baraka_MK & MKMaster who were featured in the main event during Monday Night Games!
The competitive rivalry brewing between The_Purple_Bunny and Mimik exploded unexpectedly over the weekend at Pre-Show 95: Tower Defense. The situation began late last month, when TPB started riding Mimik about his win-loss record. The tables turned over recent weeks, culminating in Mimik's win on the weekend after TPB challenged him in the days following VS United!
Neither man was in the arena Monday: leaving The United severely depleted with Shoe on indefinite sabbatical, and Artanix still recovering from his Steel Cage Fight loss at Supercard 94: Red Reign!
Only Murdoink, and rookie protégé zelse fronted up for the action! Taking on rivals from opposing factions -- both men suffered bitter defeats! Red_Spaniard of The Red Reign had no trouble putting the hurt on zelse in a convincing win. It was much closer when New Generation ring-in foahchon followed his VS United victory with a hard fought win over Murdoink!
With their rivals all-but vanquished; Sekktor & legoslayer10 re-teamed for The Red Reign to take on the accomplished duo of "Brexiteers" Liam & nif! Despite not fighting with their usual partners, The Red Reign secured a well earned victory in tribute to recovering leader LordSkarlet, and fallen comrade hydraslash! Their teammate redman wasn't able to make it red all over: he was defeated by "The Sword of Europe" Chromatose, who was desperate for a win after missing out on Challenger 7 Qualification at Pre-Show 95!
In the night's main event, new sensations Baraka_MK & MKMaster looked to reset their expectations in a clash with remnants of the European Union: Nephrite & Zentile. Having enjoyed immediate chemistry as a pair; BMK & MKM set their ambitions on beating New Gen UGP rivals Mark & Leroy at Supercard 94: Red Reign. Not quite ready to be world beaters; Baraka_MK & MKmaster found their footing with a confident win against the European pair.
There'll be no alliances to help when MKMaster joins the Challenger 7 this weekend at Supercard 95: Tower of Power XIX! The ultimate opportunity awaits as ten contenders form the ominous structure known as The Tower of Power! Reigning Undisputed Champion ElJobber will await the challenge of whoever can climb their way to the top! Contenders include "The Chosen One" Damo, "The Predator" TonyTheTiger, United: Mimik and United: The_Purple_Bunny! Find out who will rise and fall this weekend - Sunday, June 18th!
NOTE: Monday Night Games will be on hiatus next week. Instead: Tournament 81: Mid-Year Grand Slam begins Monday, June 19th. 128-fighters will compete in a non-stop week of elimination bracket action until the last man is standing! The Mid-Year Grand Slam is the third prestigious Grand Slam Tournament of the calendar year. Be here for all the exciting results - next week!

Weekly Rankings Recap - 6/11/2017
I'm really impressed with TonyTheTiger lately. This week's win against Genku is just another reminder that The Predator is always lurking in in the periphery. I'm very interested to see how he will perform this weekend at Supercard 95: Tower of Power XIX. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Undisputed Championship be the focus, and I've got to believe TonyTheTiger's chances are as good as any of the unrevealed Tower of Power fighters!
I'm wondering what the end game for Genku is right now. The antagonism he's shown toward his allies in The Invasion has a curious allure, but fighters the caliber of Jason_Voorhees & edge are only going to put up with so much, for so long. They let their fighting speak for them this week during Friday Night Fights. I'm not sure if Genku is listening.
I'm liking Oozaru & Banging as members of The Challenger 7 this weekend. They've had a white hot couple of months in the Duo Division, but they hit the wall in terms of the Championship. Tower of Power is a well timed detour for these accomplished solo fighters. It mustn't be forgotten that both are accomplished individual competitors. Oozaru held the coveted ICWW World Championship, and Banging is himself a former ICWW Heavyweight Champion and 2-time KFL Champion.
MKMaster is having one of the most impressive rookie years in recent memory. There's clearly a natural tension between he and "Mad Dog" Onryo. We saw that at Supercard 93 and this weekend at Pre-Show 95, but isn't The New Generation big enough for both of them? With foahchon they clearly made a formidable five playing VS United this week! After the blow-up between Mimik and The_Purple_Bunny, The New Gen could be more stable than The United!
Don't forget Monday Night Invasion and Friday Night Fights will be on hiatus next week while the 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam tournament gets under way! 128-fighters duking it out for a full week of non-stop elimination competition! Opportunity beckons and everyone is going to want to win this prestigious event! Round 1 begins Monday, June 19th the day after Supercard 95: Tower of Power XIX!

Pre-Show 95: Tower Defense
The stakes were high at Pre-Show 95: Tower Defense as fighters gathered for a Supercard-like event ahead of next week's Tower of Power! Along with four Challenger 7 Qualifying matches, there were matters of the Duo Division and Division 2 Championships to be dealt with!
The tandem titles were in the spotlight once more as "The Invasion" Jason_Voorhees & edge took on teammates-turned-rivals: CCShadow & Scott-Howell! The challengers earned their shot during this week's Friday Night Fights, shaking off pressure from Genku to impress officials. The Pre-Show 94 title rematch showed clear signs of improvement as The Invasion brought the fight to the champs! The tantalizing possibility of a title change was in the air, but CCS & Howell were able to find off the strong offense of their opponents for another day.
All eyes were on Challenger 7 Qualifiers early in the night. Intrigue surrounded MKMaster's win over "Mad Dog" Onryo with so much talk surrounding rumored tensions within The New Generation. Man-in-the-middle Baraka_MK watched silently from the wings as his new Duo partner bested his old one, improving upon his Supercard 93 victory with a hard hitting +3 win!
Legendary duo "The Pacific Connection" Oozaru & Banging left no doubt as they both qualified for The Challenger 7 with dominant victories. NovaStarr narrowly edged out 2017 Fighter For Europe Chromatose. That means MKMaster, Oozaru, Banging & NovaStarr will join Genku, DArqueBishop, and a mystery Hall of Famer when Tower of Power XIX opens - next week!
Waiting somewhere up The Tower will be Untied: Mimik, who continued the embarrassment of United: The_Purple_Bunny with a convincing victory! Problems between the pair first manifested late last month when TPB was critical of Mimik's win-loss record. A string of victories have left TPB the more precariously positioned member of The United, with his most recent loss during this week's VS United. We will officially find out their place next week during Tower of Power XIX.
"The Predator" TonyTheTiger will be somewhere on The Tower as well. An exhibition match win against DECEPTION at Pre-Show 94 helped elevate TTT's title prospects. When Genku claimed he could beat any and all of the 19th Tower, it was TonyTheTiger who emerged to dominate him during Friday Night Fights! Genku had to work hard to mount a Tower Defense, but managed to scrape by with a narrow fought victory!
It was a competitive scenario when DArqueBishop got his hands on DaemonX. The elusive former Invasion leader has been largely absent since Genku staged his hostile takeover of The Invasion. The ousted Manager did his best to take down the suspected "Black King", but it was another competitive DaemonX win. With his victory against Statix at Supercard 94, will DaemonX be somewhere on The Tower of Power? DArqueBishop will find out as one of three automatically qualifying fighters in The Challenger 7!
Division 2 Champion Poasty continued to build himself a career making reign. He earned a confident victory against top contender G0LD! The win marks Poasty's fourth successful defense since he reclaimed the championship at The Spring Classic!
The stage is set for a massive weekend where anyone could walk away the new Undisputed Champion! Supercard 95: Tower of Power XIX will see the Undisputed gold up for grabs for the first time since Tower of Power XV! ElJobber successfully defended the title at that one -- will he do it again? Be here next week to find out who will rise and who will fall - Sunday, June 18th!

4 New Matches Added to Pre-Show 95
Pre-Show 95: Tower Defense is already set to be a major lead-in to next week's Supercard 95: Tower of Power XIX, but the action is only getting bigger with the addition of four more bouts!
Talk of the town has been cracks in The New Generation, but it seems to be The United who are wrenching themselves part! Mimik once again showed up The_Purple_Bunny during their VS United clash with The New Gen! With positions in The Tower of Power top ten contenders still to be finalized, United rivals will finally come to blows at Tower Defense! For TPB, his goal of winning a 7th Undisputed Championship in 2017 could be on the line!
When Genku was relegated to The Challenger 7 by league officials - he insisted he could beat any of The Tower contenders! His bold claim went down in flames when "The Predator" TonyTheTiger embarrassed him during this week's Friday Night Fights! Now the furious Invasion leader will try to save face when he challenges TonyTheTiger to a bitter rematch!
DArqueBishop was ousted from his position as Invasion Manager when Genku staged a hostile takeover during the May 26th edition of Friday Night Fights! He was recruited to be the team's guiding Black Bishop by DaemonX. Before he tackles The Tower of Power as one of the Challenger 7 -- he'll take on The Invasion's elusive former leader!
PLUS: G0LD has dazzled in the highly contested chase for the Division 2 Championship. At Pre-Show 95 it will be a golden opportunity when Poasty defends the title!
All this and much more as eight fighters compete for the final four Challenger 7 slots at Tower of Power XIX! Who will be granted the ultimate opportunity to fight their way to the coveted Undisputed Championship? Be here tomorrow - Sunday, June 11th for all the results!

With positions in The Tower of Power top ten contenders still to be finalized, United rivals will finally come to blows at Tower Defense! For TPB, his goal of winning a 7th Undisputed Championship in 2017 could be on the line!
When Genku was relegated to The Challenger 7 by league officials - he insisted he could beat any of The Tower contenders! His bold claim went down in flames when "The Predator" TonyTheTiger embarrassed him during this week's Friday Night Fights! Now the furious Invasion leader will try to save face when he challenges TonyTheTiger to a bitter rematch!
DArqueBishop was ousted from his position as Invasion Manager when Genku staged a hostile takeover during the May 26th edition of Friday Night Fights! He was recruited to be the team's guiding Black Bishop by DaemonX. Before he tackles The Tower of Power as one of the Challenger 7 -- he'll take on The Invasion's elusive former leader!
PLUS: G0LD has dazzled in the highly contested chase for the Division 2 Championship. At Pre-Show 95 it will be a golden opportunity when Poasty defends the title!

Friday Night Fights (June 9, 2017)
The Invasion dominated the main event of Friday Night Fights as Genku's hostile takeover of the faction continued to produce turmoil within The Great Arena!
The official announcement for Supercard 95: Tower of Power XIX confirmed the ultimate prize of the Undisputed Championship will be on the line Sunday, June 18th! An exciting prospect to all but Genku, who was confirmed to have narrowly missed the cut-off for The Tower, and would attend the event as a participant in the preliminary Challenger 7. This naturally led Genku to a customarily loud response - not his only one in the last seven days, either.
Genku put Invasion guns Jason_Voorhees & edge on notice during the week, questioning their role in the group after fighting alongside them in two losing battles. Eager to prove themselves, they took on MKR & blacksaibot in a rematch against last week's back-up for VenoMark. The Invasion duo were in control throughout the match, comfortably securing a solid victory under tandem conditions!
With other things on his mind, Genku wasn't there to confirm whether or not the victory impressed. Instead it was Mick who emerged after the match to personally congratulate the pair! He announced that league officials had considered their win, and decided they'll get a Duo Division Championship rematch this weekend at Pre-Show 95: Tower Defense!
Having called conspiracy; claimed he could beat any and all of the ten contenders selected for The Tower; and demanded one of them reveal themselves so he could prove it -- Genku found himself face-to-face with "The Predator" TonyTheTiger in the night's main event!
TTT recently re-established his contention prospects with an upset victory over DECEPTION at Pre-Show 94. He lost a subsequent rematch at Supercard 94: Red Reign, but showed no signs of erring as he absolutely dominated Genku! The comprehensive victory ended with a +7 rated impact that appeared to reinforce Genku's fated placement in The Challenger 7 as the night ended!
DArqueBishop and a mystery Hall of Famer will also be among the seven hopefuls who'll face The Tower of Power! This weekend at Pre-Show 95: Tower Defense; the remaining four Challenger 7 fighters will be determined by a series of qualifying matches!
Oozaru, Banging, "The Sword of Europe" Chromatose, "Mad Dog" Onryo, MKMaster, Loopster, United: Murdoink and NovaStarr will all compete for their shot at the big time! Be here to find out who made the cut, and all the important results - this Sunday, June 11th!
