IMAGIMANIA 33

Each champion listed below won $99,000 in imaginary money for bringing out his or her inner beast! Second place was worth $33,000 in earnings, and $9,000 went to those who finished in third.

Scrappy Doo ruled the skies, bringing home 33 free matches for manager Zach Gargus. Jeremy Workman picked up the same amount after guiding The Chameleon to victory on solid ground, and E'Bon Knight secured Shawn McAbee's share by dominating the seven seas.

Thanks to all the participants who made this year's bash worth watching!
