Three Title Matches Announced for AWL 250!


                The mid-point of Season 13 rapidly approaches.  To celebrate out sestercentennial (Yes, that’s a real word), not one, not two, but THREE championships will be defended this weekend.  The first two, we already knew about:
AWL 250
MAIN EVENT
THUGLIFE Tanaka Kenichi (C) vs. Wyvern (#1)
AWL Grand Championship Match
4th Title Defense
Big Foot BARRED from ring side.

Akira Merune (C) vs. Yin (#1)
AWL Joshi Championship Match
4th Title Defense

                And now the new title match.  Immediately after the conclusion of the Tag Matsuri, the spoilers of Nippon Yokkata informed the AWL Commissioner that they wished to cash in their 4 points as soon as possible.  That’s this weekend.

The New Classics (C) vs. Nippon Yokkata (Yamada Jiro/Hufumi Ryuji) (4)
AWL World’s Tag Team Championship Match
1st Title Defense

                Since it’s highly unusual for a team to have 4 points, allow me to remind all of you of some of the details of the AWL 3-Point System.  Challengers cash in 3 points to make their challenge, but a loss results in the loss of ALL points on the board.  So, if Nippon Yokkata lose the match, they lose their leftover point.  If they win and subsequently lose the AWL World Tag Team Titles, that also counts as a loss, so the extra point would be forfeit.

                However, if Nippon Yokkata win the match but DON’T win the titles (victory by count out, DQ, or a push from a time limit draw), then they will keep their extra point and be one step closer to a rematch.  With the minutia out of the way, please join us this weekend for AWL 250!
