What are some of your major COTG upsets?
In my 2128 fed tonight, Gryt tapped out Endgame. It was a 4 way match where Havoc did most of the damage to Endgame, but Gryt also played a role in wearing down Endgame before tapping him out to the STRONGMAN STRETCH.

I love a big upset. There have been plenty over the years but I forget many of them. A couple that stick in the brain. Around late 2087 Mutant pinned Star Warrior. It was one of those where Star Warrior tried a turnbuckle charge and it missed. He was pinned from that. In more recent times (I am only in 2104) the Upstart Punks managed to defeat Titan Fury.

Gotta love Plethador. I'm years away from introducing him in my fed but he's going to be everyone's favourite underdog when it happens

Back when I was playing CotG heavy, I was at around 2096 or so, and Ursa Major managed to pin Fury.
Fury was, well, furious and demanded a rematch...which he lost by DQ.
This got the attention of the New Order, who said that poor Ursa had better find a partner, because they were coming for him. He used the winner’s share of the two matches against Fury to hire the Bounty Hunter (who had dumped Reynard B. Guile and signed on as one of Krakan’s Hitmen for Hire, along with tag team champions the Mercenaries). Not only did they beat the New Order (mostly through Ursa Major hiding behind Bounty Hunter and powering up his AMBUSH Finisher), they wound up ranked as a tag team. They wrestled three or four more matches, going undefeated...and earned a tag team title shot against the Mercenaries.
Of course, Bounty Hunter turned on Ursa Major and left him in pieces for his stablemates to pin and retain their titles, but it was a great couple of months.

That's a great story! Sadly I never got the chance to make much of Ursa Major with that awful card. I don't recall him ever winning a match. The next undercard bum Pollux has managed a couple of wins but not sure if pinning Lord Nexus (his weak veteran card) is a major upset.

Lycosa beat Pegasus for the belt in three moves for me back in the day.

Yeah, those few move victories are sometimes great. I cannot really remember what Lycosa's stats are like. In my current fed I haven't reached his point of entry. He is extremely agile but not much else right?

He is extremely agile but not much else right? His PIN is 5(2). I don't remember much else since this was probably 20+ years ago. He was supposed to be a slam dunk title defense for Pegasus. |

I've had many but the original was Creeper knocking off Galactic Punisher. No titles or anything on the line but this was the same Creeper who had lost to Omega a few cards before.
