AWL vs. CHIKARA

Wow, this is a long story, even for a rambling weirdo like myself.  This will only be a brief summary.  The current plan is to go more indepth on the strange happenings in the Chikara-verse during the off season.

Speaking of off seasons, that's really where this all started.  During the off season between seasons 3 and 4, the AWL Commissioner traveled to the United States and negotiated a deal with Titor Conglomerate to allow Chikara talent and certain Chikara intellectual properties to appear on AWL programs. 

It was at AWL 63 during the 2013 Tag Matsuri that we saw the debut of The Colony as a tag team.   Eddie Kingston also appeared as the mystery tag team partner of Curry Man (Tiny was on suspension at the time).  While the inevitable personality clashes between Kingston and Curry Man stopped them from going anywhere in the tournament, Kingston soon set his sights on another target: "Big" Ben Nelson.

Known as the best pound for pound brawler in the AWL, the AWL Commissioner thought Nelson would be an excellent match up for Kingston and at AWL 65 we found out how right the Commissioner was.  In a back and forth match that couldn't even hope to be contained by a wrestling ring, "Big" Ben Nelson did the seemingly impossible: HE BEAT EDDIE KINGSTON!  Something at hadn't happened in the nearly 2 years since Kingston had become the Grand Champion of Chikara!!

Furthermore, he did it again and again and again.  Nelson holds no less than 4 victories over "The War King."  Already known for his short fuse, this caused Kingston to completely lose whatever cool he may have once had.  At AWL 75, Kingston savagely attacked Ben Nelson after a match.  Fortunately, AWL and Kaiju Big Battel Hero Silver Potato returned from several months away to even the odds.

This gave the AWL Commissioner the idea to set up the Interpromotional match that we will see at AWL 80.  Kingston will team with fellow Chikara refugees The Colony against Nelson, Potato, and a partner hand picked by the Commissioner: Dragon!

The teams have had a couple of weeks of practice working as a trio, but it all comes down to December 8th, when pride will be on the line: AWL vs. CHIKARA!
