## How Rhyperior joined the Tourney

When Bison was killed at the hands of Nancy-MI847J, ownership of Shadaloo was transferred to the former prize fighter. Unfortunately, he ended up running the entire organization into the ground in no time. After the fall of Shadaloo, Rhyperior was back on the streets, working menial jobs.
