Three matches, two promos, and a pizza place.

3 new matches announced today means that we now have a full card for AWL 162:

Hassan (C) vs. Yamada Jiro

AWL Intercontinental Championship Match

1st of 5 Title Defenses

Kenny Omega vs. Project 鉄 vs. Tiger Mask II vs.

Jack Butcher vs. Wrestler X vs. American Beetle

6-Man Scramble Match

Fight for 4

The Strike Warriors & DOOMBUNNY vs. The Augments (ウサギKick, 技Breaker, & X)

Trios Match

That X concerns me. As most of you know, in Japanese wrestling an X means a mystery wrestler. But in this case it also means a new Augment will make its debut. What new monstrosity will Dr. Jigoku wheel out of his lab? I'm not sure I want to find out.

RUZAI (0) (THUGLIFE田中健一& Bruce Hoyt) vs. The New Classics (2)

Points in Play

The New Classics are the only team remaining with 2 Points. With the clock still ticking on Karl Anderson, this is a must win match for not only Lee Masters and Sammy Nix, but the AWL as a whole.

Bad Luck Fale (#1) in Action

And now, in accordance with AWL tradition, we open the floor to the champion and challenger in this week's title match. It's the first ever AWL IC Title match and it's the old rivals Hassan and Yamada Jiro. First, the challenger:

山田二郎 (Translated from Japanese):

The AWL Commissioner has made the correct decision. However, I should not have wrestled that foreign menace Kid Canada last week. Why does he wear a mask anyway? He's probably a criminal just like the rest of them. The police should to look into it.

Now the future is looking bright for Japan. A Japanese wrestler is rocketing up the ranks of Sumo, Japanese are dominating sports all around the world, and in just a few years the whole world will come to Japan to see what true athletes, warriors, and men really look like. As Japan takes its rightful place in the world of sports, I will take my rightful place as AWL Zenkoku Champion! That American only looked like he won at AWL 160 and now he will be shown as the cheater that he is.

(Editors note: Hassan did NOT cheat at AWL 160, the video shows that clear as day. Also, the Zenkoku Championship is NOT recognized by the AWL and will NOT be on the line this Sunday.)

Hassan:

OK, I am getting reeally sick and tired of this guy. I spent all of last season beating his ass up and down the card and at AWL 160 he tapped out to me. He has nothing, he is nothing, he will be NOTHING! Yeah, he has a title match at AWL 162. Yeah, he's the guy I beat to win the title so it makes sense that he's in the conversation. But Commissioner, with all due respect: This. Is. It! Sunday he's getting a Paradigm Shift and going down 1, 2, 3! At which point, we are done. I never want to see that lying, racist, piece of trash in the ring with me again and CERTAINLY not for the AWL Intercontinental Championship. We clear?
