Champion and challenger

We are less than 24 hours away from probably the biggest match the AWL Light Heavyweight Division has seen in a VERY long time. The young sensation, champion and ace of Lucha Underground, and all around cool cat Prince Puma will challenge the man he has already beaten twice, the original bunny man of professional wrestling, the Man from the Strawberry Patch, The DOOMBUNNY! We caught up with both champion and challenger to get their thoughts on this title match:

DOOMBUNNY: OKOKOKOKOKOKOK! IadmitityoubeatmeattheNewYear'sTournamentandyoubeatmeatAWL123. You'regoodatthissportinfactIthinkyou'regreatbutthistimeit'snotaboutatournamentoraboutprideit'sabouttheAWLWorldLightHeavyweightChampionship!!

Well, that was.....fast. We also spoke to the challenger or at least we tried to. We got a message from Konnan, Prince Puma's manager demanding that we cease any and all attempts to contact his client and deal with him directly. Knowing it's never a good idea to tick off a legend, we complied and asked Konnan for a statement. What we got was the following:

Konnan:

I understand your wanting to talk to Prince Puma. But you have to remember that the AWL is not important. Prince Puma is the Lucha Underground Champion and THAT has to be his priority. The only reason I allow Puma to compete in your little federation is the long tradition of a young luchador going around the world to hone their craft. I did it, those that came before me did it, and those that will come after Puma will do it. But don't get a big head, you are just his dojo.

Make no mistake, Prince Puma will become a champion in the AWL, but nobody will care. It'll be a nice note on his Wikipedia page. Nothing else.

What a jerk! Looks like Vampiro is right about that guy. I strongly doubt those are Prince Puma's actual opinions, but that's neither here nor there. Two of the best fliers in wrestling today will fight for the gold. What more can you ask for? See you tomorrow!
