Return of an old favorite!

Good news everyone!

I am proud to announce the return of an old AWL feature to Season 6: AWL Mid Week Wrestling!

Yes, our Wednesday one match B-show.  Something to tide you over between Raw and Smackdown or Impact NXT.  Now we will not be doing an episode of MMW every week, only when it's necessary to serve the story.  But hey!  It's still more AWL action for you to enjoy.

I'll be back soon with more information on AWL 101.

AWL by the numbers (7/19/2014 ver.)

Preparation for AWL Season 6 has begun in earnest.  But before we quest toward the future, I thought it might be a good idea to examine exactly where we are right now.

WARNING!  The following contains SPOILERS for AWL 100!  If you have not seen the Season 5 finale, please do so before you continue.  Thank you.

Heavyweight Division:

Champion: Vacant.

Last champion: Matt Classic (Retired).  Matt Classic is currently scheduled to appear at AWL 101 where he will officially surrender the AWL World Heavyweight Championship Belt.  We await an announcement on how a new champion will be determined.

AWL Best 4:

1. HAKAISHA!

2. "Big" Ben Nelson

3. Hassan

4. "Peacemaker" Luke James

Tag Team Division:

Champions: Crisis Gundan (55 days/1 defense)

Point Totals:

Dragon & Ganba: 2 points.

A.J. Styles & Ma-Ji-Ku: 1 point.

Dragon & James: 1 point.

All other teams: 0 points.

The team formerly known as The Super Tiger Brothers had two points, but with the departure of Tiger Mask, those points have been deleted.

Light Heavyweight Division:

Champion: A.J. Styles (6 days/0 defenses)

#1 Contender: DOOMBUNNY (Winner of the AWL 100 Battle Royale)

Shortest news post in history!

Remember when I said AWL Season 6 would start in September?  I lied.

AWL 101 will be broadcast on Sunday Augest 17th Japan Time!!

(This is to ensure that the season ends before the end of the year)

As promised, the second half of the AWL Season 5 Finale!  All the titles are on the line and the shape of the AWL will change forever.  Please enjoy the show and I hope to see you back here in September for Season 6!

AWL 100: In Tokyo Dome (Part 1)

AWL 100 Part 1 投稿者 AWLBoss

OK I have to admit it, the time got away from me this week.  I simply didn't have time to get the various promos and interviews I planned to write done.  But the good news is that the show is ready to go and I don't think you'll be disappointed.  Here are the first four matches, the final four will be posted in a very few hours.

Final 2 matches for AWL 100 announced!

OK folks, with less than a week until the Season 5 Finale, the AWL Commissioner has sent me the final matches for AWL 100 in the Tokyo Dome!

Wonder Kid vs. HAKAISHA!

With the rest of Yarina Talent Management Inc. occupied, the Commissioner has decided to throw Wonder Kid into the ring with his former coworker HAKAISHA.  Remember, the last time these two met in the AWL ring HAKAISHA destroyed Wonder Kid with seemingly little effort.  Now that Wonder Kid has a week to prepare and will hopefully provide more of a challenge.  But with the AWL World Tag Team Titles on the line AND 黒山 in a cage, how much focus does Yarina have left to give to this match?

Light Heavyweight Battle Royale!

It wouldn't be a super card without a battle royal, now would it?  In this case, the AWL Commissioner wants to celebrate the AWL Light Heavyweight Division by giving the wrestlers in that division a spotlight on the biggest show in the history of the Animated Wrestling League!  6 men will compete and the winner will earn a future AWL World Light Heavyweight Title shot.

More news all week.  See you tomorrow.

Full card for AWL 99!

Well, I promised you a fight card and you're going to get it! It's a short show this week so that we can give all of our wrestlers time to rest, recoup, and train for AWL 100 in the Tokyo Dome.

MAIN EVENT

TRIOS MATCH—NO TIME LIMIT!

The Technicos vs. YTM Inc.

NON-TITLE MATCH

CHAMPION VERSES CHAMPION

“Lightning" Mike Quackenbush vs. A.J. Styles

POINTS ON THE LINE!

Dragon & Ganba (0) vs. Big & Spicy (0)

POINTS ON THE LINE!

The Super Tiger Bros. (1) vs. Danger Riders (0)

So we have the last outing for two tag teams including one of the longest running factions in the AWL, The Technicos. 2 points up for grabs as we revitalize the tag team devision in preperation for Season 6, and AWL World Heavyweight Champion "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush has accepted yet ANOTHER non-title match. I have no idea why he keeps doing that, but at least this time the result is a genuine dream match for fans of independent wrestling the world over, Styles vs. Quackenbush, New Japan vs. The AWL, champion vs champion.

And this is just the warm up for the season finale!

See you this weekend for AWL 99: 家に帰る！

Good News!

OK people, I'm happy to start this news post with some OOC good news. I made it to the dentist this past Monday and after an hour and a half of rather painful oral surgery, my toothache is under control and AWL 99 WILL be posted on schedule! We now return to our regularly scheduled continuity.

AWL 99 will be a night of "lasts." The last show before we hit the road to the Tokyo Dome for AWL 100. The last show before one of the 4 men in Batsumania is fired. And just announced: The last time The Technicos will be together as a trio. This match has just been signed:

TRIOS MATCH—NO TIME LIMIT!

The Technicos vs. YTM Inc. (Kid, Giant, Butcher)

By special order of the AWL Commissioner, this (as you can see) will have no time limit. The Commissioner does not want Matt Classics final regular season match to end in a time limit draw.

Also, continuing the theme of lasts, the following tag team match has been announced:

POINTS ON THE LINE

The Super Tiger Bros. (1) vs. Danger Riders (0)

With 3 of the 4 men in this match condemned to Batsumania, there is an excellent chance that one of them will not be a part of the AWL for Season 6. So this is a match that may never happen again. And for the record, under the AWL's 3-Point System, if a member of a tag team is fired any Points that team may have are erased.

As for the rest of the week, we are still expecting an announcement from the Commissioner's office regarding the final card for AWL 100. Not sure when we're going to g et that, but the card for his weekend should be available tomorrow.

AWL Did you know?

This blog has received more views in June than any month in 2014 thus far.  In fact, we got more views in June than we have since November 2013.

I attribute this to the warm reception the AWL has received from the Chikarmy at Chikara101.proboards.com.

Thank you everybody.  I appreciate every single second you spend watching my show.  I love making this stuff and it warms my heart to know you are out there watching it.
