Team AWL Update!

Unfortunately, due to injuries suffered during events shown on last weekend’s WrestleMAX, both Tiger the Dark and Azteckaizer NEO are OUT of Final Wars.  Team AWL Captain Tiger Mask II has provided this updated list:

Tiger Mask II, Hakaisha, Ganba, Ma-Ji-Ku, Hassan, Kid Canada, Wyvern.

“The Japanese Megastar” Ganba is replacing Tiger the Dark and Wyvern is replacing his Shin Jidai partner Azteckaizer NEO.

But the biggest news is that we also now know the final two members of the team:

“Peacemaker” Luke James!

Both Ganba and James were released from their GWM contracts after attacking John Hero last week.  Tiger Mask II as only too happy to snap both of them up for the team.  Luke James was the final AWL Grand Champion before the company was forced to shut down.  He will undoubtedly be looking for some measure of revenge at Final Wars.

And now the big one:

RAINMAKER Okada Kazuchika!

That’s right!  While best known as the longest reigning IWGP Champion of all time, the Rainmaker is also a former AWL Grand Champion, one of only two men ever to hold IWGP and AWL gold at the same time (the other being AJ Styles), and the winner of the AWL’s first ever Ultimate Summit Tournament.  He defeated Tiger the Great III in The Third’s first ever televised loss.


With the team chock full of current and former champions, including two men who have beaten Tiger the Great III, this Final War is by no means a foregone conclusion.
