The final installment of the joint effort between the GWF and CPC in their "mega-tournament" series was the King of the Ring Tournament, held on the GWF's 770th overall card at the Lava Ruins Arena, Betelgeuse, Orion.
More history was made in this one tournament than in the last five years of GWF action. Tournament stipulations:
a 64-man single elimination format, with the first round pairings being randomly determined

Finals
Chaos pounded down Mandrill and easily won the KOTR for the second year in-a-row, and added the CPC Title to his GWF, I-P and TV gold.
Chaos will be forced to relinquish the I-P and TV titles. Mandrill, by reaching the finals, will be named the new Interplanetary champion.
In the essence of fairness, the other two semifinalists Colossus and Blacklash will have a match for the vacant TV title.
