Announcement for the Light Heavyweight Division.

AWL 100, the Season 5 Finale is 2 months away. As usual, all three AWL Championships will be defended at the finale. In order to prepare the best matches possible, the AWL Commissioner has decided to reach deep into his bag of tricks and has pulled out a rare match not seen in the AWL since Season 3: Video Cybernetico!

For those of you not familiar with how a Cibernetico Match works, its origins can be found in Lucha Libre and has been brought to America by (who else?) Chikara. In the AWL version, 6 men compete. They begin in an elimination Trios Match. If there is more than one survivor on the winning team, allies become enemies as the match moves to a 3-way match or one on one match until there is only one winner remaining. That winner will go on to AWL 100 to challenge Ma-Ji-Ku for the AWL World Light Heavyweight Championship.

Beginning this week at AWL 93, there will be six qualifying matches to determine who enters Video Cybernetico III. They are (in no particular order):

1. Tiger Mask
2. Shin Tora
3. American Beetle
4. Curry Man
5. Mike Quackenbush
6. El Santo Azul
7. El Rudo Rojo
8. Super Giant
9. Kid Canada (If he makes weight)
10. X
11. X
12. X

As you can see, there are some unknown competitors in that list. I have heard exclusively from the AWL Commissioner's office that 2 of those Xs belong to brand new wrestlers making their AWL debuts. The other refers to (and this is a direct quote) "A champion of champions."


The first two qualifiers will take place this weekend at AWL 93.
