CHAOS IN THE DANGER ZONE!!

OK, not really, but that was a fun headline to write. Seriously, last weekend's upset IC Title win by THUGLIFE 田中健一 does change things a bit roughly one month out from July 10th and AWL 180. What had previously been a fully locked danger zone has been blown wide open:

E.N. Hance	0	-17	-17	DANGER ZONE	LOCKED
Jon Shina	3	-18	-15	DANGER ZONE	LOCKED
American Beetle	42	-55	-13	DANGER ZONE	LOCKED
Tanaka Kenichi	22	-35	-13	AWL IC Champion
El Rudo Rojo	34	-41	-7	DANGER ZONE
Kid Canada	15	-21	-6
Luke James	26	-32	-6
Mr. Smiles	0	-6	-6

As you can see, E.N. Hance, Jon Shina, and American Beetle are all still mathematically locked in the Danger Zone (I should probably add, "barring an unexpected title win"). But Tanaka Kenichi's win has knocked his former tag team partner El Rudo Rojo back into the zone. However, there are now three men on the bubble. One loss would send them falling back into the Danger Zone and forcing a tie breaking match at the season finale.

But we're not there yet. Fortunately for everyone involved, the AWL Commissioner believes in giving wrestlers the chance to prove themselves in the ring. Therefore the following two matches have been announced for AWL 176:

THUGLIFE 田中健一 (C) vs. Wonder Kid

AWL Intercontinental Championship Match

1st Title Defense

(The Commissioner also believes in trying to screw over the guy who blackmailed him.)

El Rudo Rojo vs. Kid Canada

Danger Zone Match!

I have also been told that tomorrow the AWL Commissioner has some announcements that he would like to make personally. So stay tuned for that!
