CRASH'S TOTALLY TRUE FACT OF THE DAY: The First World Championship originally had a Round Robin tournament...not just the top four like Series 8/9, the ENTIRE tournament was Round Robin, and everyone was meant to have fought each other at least once. They'd filmed twelve fights (the first round and quarter-final battles we'd seen, plus Behemoth vs Cerberus), but once Mauler was disqualified, they just decided "to Hellbent with this" and switched it out for a standard knockout - the "quarter-final" battles were really just Round 1 battles they decided would work as if they were second-round fights. This is obviously completely true and I didn't just make all this up on the spur of the moment.

On a more serious note, I do wonder what would have happened if that sarcastic five robot battle to decide the Series 8 wildcard HAD actually happened. Would Thor still have gotten it, I wonder?
