AWL 118: Battle Royale

AWL 118: Battle Royale by AWLBoss

Funny story.  I wrote a few posts promoting this week's show.....and promptly forgot to post them.  Hopefully this episode stands on it's own.  Please enjoy the show!

Tis the season.....

.....for a Battle Royale.

This weekend at AWL 118, we will find a #1 contender for the AWL World Light Heavyweight Championship at AWL 120.  6 AWL Wrestlers will enter the AWL ring and attempt to throw each other over the top rope.  The last man standing will face El Santo Azul at the Season 6 finale!

But who will get this opportunity?  Well I'm the man with all the news.  And this is why I said that this might completely shake things up around here.  The competitors in the Battle Royale are:
1. DOOMBUNNY
2. El Rudo Rojo
3. THUGLIFE 田中健一
4. Tiger Mask II
5. Super Giant
6. Kid Canada

See what I mean?  With both members of the Danger Riders in this match, this is the last chance for one of them to escape the Danger Zone and write their own ticket to a title match at the finale.  Also, Super Giant will be making his return to the AWL after a decent length hiatus.

Also, another huge item has been added to AWL 118.  For the first time in AWL history we're having a contract signing for the main event of AWL 120.  HAKAISHA!, A.J. Styles, and Matt Classic will all be in the ring at the same time.  What could possibly go wrong?

Things are starting to come together.

Another week, another update to the Danger Zone Rankings:

Wrestler	Win	Loss	Total	as of AWL 117
El Rudo Rojo	19	-34	-15	DANGER ZONE
田中健一	13	-26	-13	DANGER ZONE
Luke James	13	-23	-10	DANGER ZONE
Tiger Mask II	20	-30	-10	DANGER ZONE
American Beetle	27	-35	-8
Curry Man	18	-25	-7

As you can see, The All Americans beating The Bullet Club via a rare DQ has at least temporarily saved American Beetle. Also, Big & Spicy's loss to The New Classics has put Curry Man peirliously close to the Danger Zone.

Both El Rudo Rojo and THUGLIFE Tanaka Kenichi are LOCKED in the Danger Zone, but the other two slots are still undecided. The Danger Zone won't be finalized until after AWL 119 so there are still two shows to go and anything could happen. Speaking of which, I've been told that there will be an announcement tomorrow that could completely shake things up. I have no idea what that means, but tune in tomorrow and find out.

But for the moment, on to happier things. We now have 2 of our 3 title matches set for AWL 120:

MAIN EVENT

AWL Championship Tournament Finals.

A.J. Styles vs. HAKAISHA!

Special Guest Referee: Matt Classic!

AWL World Tag Team Title Match!

The Masters of the Mask (C) vs. The New Classics

Of course, we will start the show with Batsumania. The 4-way elimination match where the winner of each fall leaves and the last man pinned is fired!

We also know that the AWL World Light Heavyweight Championship will be defended so El Santo Azul will have to compete twice in one evening. It's not fair, but that is the lot of a double champion.

Tune in tomorrow for the mystery announcement and check back every day for all the news on the AWL.

Pre title match promos

Happy Friday! At least to our fans in Japan. We have a championship match scheduled for this coming Sunday and it's time to hear from both the reigning champion and #1 contender of the AWL Light Heavyweight Division. First, and I believe this is his first promo, The DOOMBUNNY:

HithereeveryoneI'mthemantheycallDOOMBUNNYandIknowyou'realllookingforwardtomynexttitlematch. I'llbehonest, Ididn'texpectElSantoAzultobeatmelastweekandI'mcertainlynotgoingtoletithappenagain!!

I'mtheonlyREALbunnywrestlerintheworldandI'MwalkinginandoutofAWL117asAWLWordLightHeavyweightChampion!! Andyoucantakethatcarrotstraightbacktothewarren!!!

Yeah, and that's BEFORE he chugs a Monster on the way to the ring! Well, hopefully that made sense to you (Because I only caught about half of it). We also have a message from El Santo Azul:

Doble oro . Para ser el mejor en mi categoría de peso y la mitad de los mejores equipo de la etiqueta en el mundo . Eso sería un sueño hecho realidad . He oído los viejos contadores de tiempo de hablar. He oído hablar de cómo mi generación no tiene hambre suficiente para alcanzar el anillo de bronce . ¡Tonterías! Estoy llegando más allá del anillo de bronce , voy a por el oro ! DOOMBUNNY , te respeto como luchador y como hombre ... conejo ... lo que sea. Pero nada se va a poner en mi camino. Te gané una vez y puedo hacerlo de nuevo. Yo soy el futuro de la lucha libre ... y el futuro es ahora!

And now, thanks to our amazing AWL Translation Team, that same message in English:

Double gold. To be the best in my weight class AND one half of the best tag team in the world. That would be a dream come true. I've heard the old timers talking. I've heard about how my generation isn't hungry enough to reach for the brass ring. Nonsense! I'm reaching past the brass ring, I'm going for the gold! DOOMBUNNY, I respect you as a wrestler and as a man...rabbit...whatever. But nothing is going to get in my way. I beat you once and I can do it again. I am the future of lucha libre...and the future is now!

These two young warriors will class in the AWL Arena this Sunday and the AWL World Light Heavyweight Championship is on the line! Be there!!

This is going to be good!

HUGE match just signed for AWL 117!

Ganba & "Peacemaker" Luke James vs. The Augments

For weeks Dr. Jigoku and his Augments have been running wild in the AWL. They seem to have been targeting veterans and locker room leaders. Specifically, Ganba and Dragon have been on the injured list thanks to Darkness Ryu and just two weeks ago Ganba returns from injury only to be attacked by Project Tetsu.

Well, at AWL 117, Ganba will have his chance at revenge. With Dragon still out hurt, his friend and tag team partner Luke James (who has been feuding with The Augments himself) has volunteered to step up and team for the first time ever with Ganba. But it will be a tall task as Darkness Ryu and Project Tetsu are the only undefeated wrestlers in the AWL today.

Dr. Jigoku has said that he will accept any match the AWL Commissioner books in order to prove the so-called superiority of his creations. At AWL 117, well see if the good doctor is ready to put his money where his mouth is!

Someone HAS to win eventually!

Last weekend's search for tag team #1 contenders was a bust. So we're trying again. Once again we have 3 teams who each have 2 points. Also once again we have 2 tag team matches set for this weekend and the first team to earn 3 points will challenge The Masters of the Mask for the AWL World Tag Team Championships at AWL 120. Squaring off in the squared circle this week are:

The Bullet Club (2) vs. The All Americans (0)

1 Point on the Line

Big & Spicy (2) vs. The New Classics (2)

2 Point/15 Minute Match

Curry Man, Tiny, Lee Masters, and Sammy Nix fought to a 10 minute draw last weekend so this is the 2 point rematch. It only takes 3 points to challenge for the title so if either team wins, they get their shot at the gold. Also of note is A.J. Styles. We already know that he's one half of the main event, but if he and Bad Luck Fale win their match against The All Americans, A.J. too will have to fight twice at the finale.

The tag team division is completely up in the air at the moment so tune in to AWL 117 and see how this whole thing shakes out.

BIG announcement from the AWL Commissioner

OK people, yesterday I promised you big news and I shall not disappoint. This message just came from the AWL Commissioners office:

Due to the importance of the AWL 120 main event, it is my decision that special precautions must be taken to ensure a fair and just outcome. Therefore, for the first time in the HISTORY of the Animated Wrestling League, the match between HAKAIASHA! vs. A.J. Styles will have . . . a Special Guest Referee!

It should be noted that I mean no disrespect to AWL Senior Official Joey Babaganoush. He is one of my longest tenured and most trusted employees and I want it publically know that he has my complete faith. However, in this instance I want someone of greater martial skill to be in charge of the action.

The identity of the Special Guest Referee shall be revealed at AWL 117. THIS! I Have COMMISSIONED!!!!!!!

There you have it folks, right from the boss's mouth. Tomorrow, I'll be back here with all the news from the AWL Tag Team Division.

Fallout, ranking, and things to come!

AWL 116 was a newsworthy show. First and foremost: The Main Even for our Season Finale is SET!!

AWL Championship Tournament Final

AWL World Heavyweight Championship Match

HAKAISHA! vs. A.J. Styles

That's the top of the card, now let's take a look at the bottom. Here are the updated Danger Zone Rankings:

Wrestler	Win	Loss	Total	as of AWL 116
El Rudo Rojo	19	-34	-15	DANGER ZONE	LOCKED!
田中健一	13	-26	-13	DANGER ZONE	LOCKED!
Luke James	13	-23	-10	DANGER ZONE
Tiger Mask II	20	-29	-9	DANGER ZONE
American Beetle	26	-35	-9	DANGER ZONE

Two of the four slots in Batsumania are now locked. I have it on good authority that Luke James, American Beetle, and Tiger Mask II will ALL be in action next weekend for AWL 117 so this chart may look very different come this time next week.

Speaking of AWL 117, the main event of that show has just been announced!

AWL World Light Heavyweight Championship Match

DOOMBUNNY (C) vs. El Santo Azul

I personally expected this match to take place at AWL 120, but the Commissioner has decided to give it to us early. This match follows El Santo Azul pinning The DOOMBUNNY in a non-title match yesterday. And remember, El Santo Azul is currently one half of the AWL World Tag Team Champions so he has a chance to become a double champion! We hope to bring you comments from both wrestlers before the end of the week.

Lastly, I've been told to expect a major announcement to be posted on this very blog tomorrow. I have no idea what it is, but I have been told that it relates to AWL 120. So please make sure to check back here tomorrow for the big news.
