From the Commissioner:

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am the AWL Commissioner.

As I believe the colloquialism goes, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I have COMMISSIONED what looks to be a superb main event for AWL 124. Last weekend, the tag team known as Dragon and James earned their third point under the AWL tag team division's 3-Point System. Well, no time like the present I say:

Masters of the Mask (C) vs. Dragon & James (3)
AWL World Tag Team Championship Match
3rd Defense

Additionally, three AWL Wrestlers have picked up the gauntlet thrown down by Dr. Jigoku. And it is a most surprising trio:

The Augments vs. American Beetle, Hassan, and Kid Canada
Augment's Open Challenge

Unfortunately, there is also bad news that I must deliver. Last Friday, I commanded Wonder Kid, to appear in my office to explain why he did not appear at AWL 122 as scheduled. ONCE AGAIN he failed to appear. So I have no choice but to make this personal and public. Wonder Kid WILL appear at AWL 124 and he WILL wrestle. If he does not, he will be TERMINATED IMMEDIATELY and the AWL will SUE him for breach of contract!

This! I have COMMISSIONED!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

--XOXO AWL Commissioner.

Augment Open Challenge

A message from Dr. Jigoku:

INCONCEIVABLE!! That my Augments could be defeated by those.....INFERIOR wrestlers Dragon and Luke James. I mean, think about it, the old man and the red neck. IMPOSSIBLE!! I have no idea how they cheated but they must have cheated. THIS SHALL NOT STAND!!!

My Augments and I hereby issue an open challenge to any three AWL wrestlers. Come to AWL 124 and face my Augments in a trios match and you shall see that we are SUPERIOR!!

I might be out of my mind, but it's for a good cause.

Good news wrestling fans! The most high holiday on the pro wrestling calendar is nearly upon us. That's right, National Pro Wrestling Day 2015 is only a week away. And once again, a contingent of AWL Wrestlers will travel to Easton PA, USA to partake in the festivities. That means that there will be TWO AWL shows posted this coming weekend. AWL 124 will be posted 24 hours ahead of schedule and our contribution to National Pro Wrestling Day will be posted in our normal time slot.

This year, the AWL will be offering a 3 match card for NPWD. After AWL 123, the first match and main event has already been decided:

Ganba (C) vs. HAKAISHA!(#1)
AWL World Heavyweight Championship Match
First Title Defense


We fully expect the other two matches to be announced either this week on the blog or at AWL 124 itself.

Full card for AWL 123

It should come as no surprise that American Beetle has accepted the challenge of Yamada Jiro. That, combined with a couple of announcements from the AWL Commissioner's office, means that we now know the full card for AWL 123. First, the biggest announcement:

All matches at AWL 123 must be won by pinfall.

Why is this? Because the episode number is 123 of course. OK, so it's not a great idea, but the AWL Commissioner always pays me on time so who am I to judge?

With that, on to the card:

Main Event:
The Augments (2) vs. Dragon & James (2)
Battle for 3 Points!

Prince Puma vs. The DOOMBUNNY
Champion vs. Champion
Non-Title Match

Jack Butcher (#1) vs. HAKAISHA! (#2)
Rank at Stake

American Beetle vs. Yamada Jiro


Vacant vs. Jon Shina

The opinions expressed.....

Well, at least he's honest.

A little inside information. When ever the AWL hires either a new wrestler or a new member of staff, we have to go through an orientation. One of the things that gets hammered into us is the fact that the AWL is an equal opportunity employer. And around here, that's not just the usual "please don't sue us" corporate line. The powers that be in the Animated Wrestling League make it VERY clear that all races, nationalities, religions, identities, and wrestling styles are welcome in the AWL.

However, freedom of speech and expression is completely worthless if it only applies to speech with which you agree.

It is in that spirit that we present to you, completely unedited, an e-mail sent to us by AWL rookie Yamada Jiro:
精神と魂の戦士の戦い、日本人男性の心が何世紀にもされています。それは毎日私たちの生活に触れます。方法を私達が食べる食糧から取り組んでいます。先頭と末尾の日本人であることの意味です。プロレス開始私のヒーロー Rikidouzanで 1951 年にそしてスポーツは野球のような他の国で発明されている可能性がありますそれはそれを完成し、芸術のレベルに引き上げ日本人だった。
しかし、感染症が日本に来ています。私たちの国は病気です。病気は、西と呼ばれます。我々 は一度によって国から取除かれる、開墾されていない外国人を強制的に私たちの間で生きている今。彼ら私たちの近所に住んでいる、私たちのお店で買い物、私たち電車に乗る、私たちの学校にも不潔な子供を送信します。我々 の政府も、無意味な言語を学ぶ子どもたちになります !

西洋の悪魔がプロレスに定着しているようになりました。もちろん、我々 は常に私たちのカードを時折外人レスラーを抱えているが、過去に彼らの小人と女性と一緒に彼らの場所で保たれました。今すぐ AJ スタイルズのような男性と豊富なスワン 選手権を保持します。弾丸クラブ広がる彼らの不正行為の西部方法。でもそのろくでなしプロレス WWE は私たちのテレビです !

それを停止する必要があります。それは停止します。それを停止します。AWLはあまりにも多くの外人とそれらが削除されます。この週末アメリカ カブトムシとなります。


And now, the English translation:
Fighting spirit and the soul of the warrior has been the heart of the Japanese man for centuries. It touches every day of our lives. From the food we eat to the way we work. It is the beginning and end of what it means to be Japanese. Puroresu begin in 1951 with my hero Rikidouzan and while the sport may have been invented in other countries, like baseball, it was the Japanese who perfected it and raised it to the level of art.

But an infection has come to Japan. Our nation is sick. The disease is called the West. The uncultured foreigners that we once removed from the country by force now live among us. They live in our neighborhoods, shop in our shops, ride our trains, and even send their filthy children to our schools. Our government even makes our children learn THEIR pointless language!

The demon of westernization has now taken root in puroresu. Of course, we've always had the occasional gaijin wrestler on our cards, but in the past they were kept in their place along with the midgets and women. Now men like A.J. Styles and Rich Swann hold top championships. The Bullet Club spreads their cheating western ways. Even their bastard puroresu WWE is on our television!

It must stop. It will stop. I will stop it. The AWL has too many gaijin and I will remove them. This weekend I will begin with American Beetle.

Champion vs. Champion!

HUGE match signed for AWL 123!

The AWL Commissioner has personally spoken to both Konnan and Dario Cueto to set up a Champion vs. Champion rematch this weekend:

Prince Puma vs. The DOOMBUNNY

During the 2015 AWL お正月大会, these two animal avatars met in battle.  It was an opening round match and the Lucha Underground Champion was victorious in that encounter.  Now the pride of the Animated Wrestling League is at stake as our Light Heavyweight Champion faces the current King of The Temple.  It'll be the grace and power of the puma verses the speed and wits of the rabbit at AWL 123.
