On your marks...

I have waited a long time to say this.  Good evening ladies and gentlemen.  I am the AWL…Commissioner.

We…are…BACK!  The Animated Wrestling League is REBORN!!!  At the turning of the new year, we shall rise from the ashes for the biggest event in our calendar and the start of AWL Season 12: The New Year’s Tournament.  16 professional wrestlers will compete in a one-night single elimination tournament with the sole survivor receiving a prize more precious that any amount of money…an automatic title match at the AWL Grand Championship currently held by The Japanese Destroyer.

Furthermore, we are restarting the AWL Best 4 system of determining the top contenders to the AWL Grand Championship.  The winner of the New Year’s Tournament will be the number one contender, his fellow finalist will be number two, and the losers of the semifinals will become numbers three and four based on who has the best win loss record.

More information regarding the tournament will be announced within the next few days.  However, before we can continue into the future, we must discuss the past.  First, all win loss records and tag team division points are reinstated and shall be carried over from Season 11.  Before Season 12 properly begins at AWL 221, there will be an AWL By the Numbers post to clarify such matters.

Second, the Animated Wrestling League is offering an open invitation for all AWL Wrestlers who signed with Global Wrestling Monopoly to return to the Animated Wrestling League without prejudice.  Already Ganba, Luke James, all three members of Shin Jidai, and The Augments have taken us up on the offer.  The offer is still open to anyone who qualifies.  The lone exception is American Beetle.  He lost the Batsumania Match at AWL 220 and is not welcome to return.

Third, speaking of the Augments, I hereby STRIP Project Tetsu of the AWL Anarchy Championship and officially once again retire the title.  Season 12 will be about the restoration of order to the Animated Wrestling League.  The last thing I need is anarchy.

Forth, I have received requests for bookings from some former Global Wrestling Monopoly so called Superstars.  Their requests will be considered on a case by case basis.  Already I have signed Tiger the Dark to an AWL Contract and happily welcome him to the roster.

Fifth, I am still deciding what to do with the now defunct Global Wrestling Monopoly championship belts that we acquired following Final Wars.  More information on that as it becomes available.

Finally, allow me to announce the official Supercard schedule for 2018:
January: New Year’s Tournament 2018.
February: National Pro Wrestling Day 2018? (Chikara has not announced the event for this year.)
March: ???? (Well, I have to keep some secrets. BWAHAHAHAHAH!)
May: Golden War 2018.
August: Obon-nanza 2018.
October: Clash of Styles Tournament.

That is all.  I wish all of you a very happy holiday and ask you to please look forward to the 12th Season of the Animated Wrestling League.

THIS!  I have COMMISSIONED!!!!!!!!  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
--XOXO AWL Commissioner
