WPC Event #29 [!nteractive Mega Card / Playoffs Round Of Six]

World Prediction Championship 2021 Event #29 Results

Event #29 marks the first event in the Round of Six, but also sees our 2021 season approaching its finale with only three event remaining following this event. Not only that - but our first Divisional Ranking results for the season will be announced, with Turning Point have been the final live event on the Impact calendar. We have three titles matches booked for this event, as well as the two Fantastic Four Way matches in the !nteractive Division.

We start proceeding by focusing on the Grand Championship, that sees current champion HoHo take on our fourth beneficiary of 'Option-E' The Fourth Wall. In a matter of maths, this may be the last time someone benefits from winning the Grand Prix Event Championship three time in the same season, so will Fourth be able to do what only one has done before and benefit from this back door route?

​

Grand Championship	Name	Wins	Losses	Differential
1st.	HoHo	18	8	+10
2nd.	TFW	16	10	+6

In a tough contest, HoHo manages to end the event with a +4 differential and thus successfully retain the Grand Championship as The Fourth Wall falls short in benefitting from 'Option-E'.

Our next focus is the the !nteractive Championship Division, which continues to run as an experimental division with WPC that uses a 'Head 2 Head Matchplay' mechanic. Points are earned in the following ways:

A Win = 1 point
A Loss = -2 points
A Draw = 0 points
A Championship Loss = -5 points
A Championship Draw = Granted The Next Title Shot + 0 points
The Champion earns no points

Two of the matches will be 'Fantastic Four Way' matches - with the winners of these matches rather than earning the usual +1 point for a win, will instead be rewarded with +3 points instead. If there is a tie, they will only be rewarded +2 point and so on.

Fantastic Four Way #2
Sky [17] vs. The Fourth Wall [16] vs. Jimmy King [15] vs. Smark [16]

Sky leaves as the sole victor of their matchup, and so is rewarded +3 points for their victory - the rest of the field all pick up a loss and the -2 point that go with it.


Fantastic Four Way #1
Lethal Banks [17] vs. Jeff [18] vs. Blaze [14] vs. LadyHotRod [15]

Jeff leaves as the sole victor of their matchup, and so is rewarded +3 points for their victory - the rest of the field all pick up a loss and the -2 point that go with it.


Our final match in the !nteractive Division sees Chris defend his championship against division returnee Juice.

Our next match for the !nteractive Championship will see Chris defend the strap against the challenging Jeff.


Our final focus is the Grand Prix Event Championship, which sees everyone apart from HoHo & The Fourth Wall challenge for this strap.

9th.	Juice	11	15	-4

Chris edges past Jeff, to win the Grand Prix Event Championship by a solitary win claiming the belt for the second time this season. If Chris manages to win the Event Championship in the next two events, he will earn him a shot at the Grand Championship? The truth is, is it a little too late to earn a shot via 'Option-E'.

As we approach the end of the season our Divisional Rankings come to a close. At this point in time, we are able to to reveal the winner of the Impact Wrestling Divisional Rankings.

The 2020 season saw Smark top the standings with a record of 9-6(+3)

The WPC Grand Prix 2021 saw Chris top the standings with a record of 38-19 (+19)

And now we find out who joins both of these two in Impact Wrestling Divisional Ranking folklore as we look at our Top Four for the 2021 season:
​

IMPACT Wrestling	Name	Wins	Loss	Differential
Tied 1st.	Chris	14	7	+7
Tied 1st.	Lethal Banks	14	7	+7
Tied 3rd.	Jeff	12	9	+3
Tied 3rd.	LadyHotRod	12	9	+3

Ending the season tied at 14-7, we have joint winners with both Chris & Lethal Banks being crowned the Impact WPC Divisional Champions 2021.

(Thanks for TFW for making these cool banners for our divisional winners to enjoy).​

Round Of Six - Event One [!nteractive Mega Card]

Predictors earn five points per win.

If a predictor is a standout winner, rather than being tied - they will automatically advance to the next round.

Only four predictor advance to the Round Of Four.

​

Rank​	Predictor​	Points​	Differential​
1st.​	Chris​	215​	ADV​
2nd.​	HoHo​	210​	10​
3rd.​	Sky​	200​	5​
4th.​	Lethal Banks​	195​	0​
CUT OFF LINE​	CUT OFF LINE​	CUT OFF LINE​	CUT OFF LINE​
5th.​	Jimmy King​	185​	-10​
6th.​	LadyHotRod​	180​	-15​

- Chris is the standout winner of his fellow Playoff Contender, and so becomes the first person to automatically advance to the Round of Four. This means that out of the four event that have taken place in the playoffs so far, Chris has been a standout winner in three of them and is currently experiencing a great run of form.​

UPDATE

At the next event we will see Grand Champion HoHo defend their belt against current double champion Chris who is in possession of both the Grand Prix Championship and !nteractive Championship.

The Lethal Drivers who our the current Tag Team Wrestling Champions will defend the titles against the Dream Warriors.

The @Fourth Wall who is the current Clout Cup Holder, will be able to issue a challenge to one of the follow predictors: Jeff, Juice, Smark & Blaze as they will be set to defend the cup at the next event.

It is now confirmed that Event #30 will be a Japanese Event that will feature action for NJPW and Stardom.​

10th.	Smark	159	115	44
11th.	Blaze	153	125	28

+ Jeff [GC Division Chris] - if a predictor drops out of the division, they are scratched from the queue.

+ Lethal [GC Division] - due to their Championship Draw, they forgo having to wait for everyone else in the division to have a shot at the Grand Championship.

Not gonna' lie, I'm gutted but I'm glad it was close at least. Well deserved @HoHo Kimura

Hopefully I can get another shot at the big one again sometime in the future. Should have known better than to gamble with some of the picks. Some of the Impact results threw me for a loop.

 

[CakeWalker]

I think personally one of the great success this season, has been the 'Option-E' rule, because moments like this for Fourth might not have necessarily been possible otherwise.

 

[Marty McFourth]

It made me feel like Austin Aries.

Charming as ever, Jeff.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Hoping Fourth gives me a chance surely since when I won it, they was who I gave the chance to I would love my rematch

 

[Comrade Khan]

I've never even had a match get in line

You did give me that opportunity, and you know I got a soft spot for The Blaze.



It's on.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Just go easy on me
