Two Japans

Today we have a double whammy for you from two of our top Japanese wrestlers. First, the self proclaimed "Pure Spirit of Puro" is the first to take advantage of the new rules governing the AWL Best 4:

Yamada Jiro:

AWL外人でトップすべての挑戦者はなぜですか？オーストラリア、トランシルバニア、カナダ、およびメキシコ人。これは日本です！日本は、日本語のものです。彼らは私たちの近所に住んでいる私達のリングで格闘したり、私たちの女性と結婚できませんする必要があります。我々 は彼らより良い選手です。我々 はすべてでそれらより優れています。一致する Ma-ji-kuを挑戦します。私は彼を倒すし、ベスト 4 で彼の場所を取る。

And now in English:

Why are all the top challengers in the AWL gaijin? An Australian, a Transylvanian, a Canadian, and a Mexican. This is Japan! Japan is for the Japanese. They should not be allowed to wrestle in our ring, live in our neighborhoods, or marry our women. We are better athletes than them. We are better than them at everything. I challenge Ma-Ji-Ku to a match. I will beat him and take his place in the Best 4.

Once again, I feel the need to remind all of you that the views and opinions of Yamada Jiro do not reflect the position of the Animated Wrestling League. On to more pleasant news from far more pleasant people. We have received a message from Ganba regarding one of the more puzzling happenings in the AWL today.

Ganba:

ライバルは敵ではありません。ライバルは、誰かがより高いと自分で行くことができるよりもさらにあなたをプッシュします。ワンだキッドは私のライバルです。これまで落ちる彼を見ることが痛い。この週末だろうかキッドとの試合をしますうまくいけば、私は彼にすることができ、これのすべてを引き起こしているかを学ぶ。AWL長官は、私の要求を付与してください。

And now in English:

A rival is not an enemy. A rival is someone that pushes you higher and further than you could go by yourself. Wonder Kid is my rival. It hurts me to see him fall so far. I want a match with Wonder Kid this weekend. Hopefully I can get through to him and learn what is causing all of this. AWL Commissioner, please grant my request.

Obviously, the Commissioner agreed so the following two matches have been signed for AWL 126:

Yamada Jiro vs. Ma-Ji-Ku (#4)

Ganba vs. Wonder Kid
