Preview of AWL 135.

Funny thing about Golden Week. The second you get the show posted, the entire staff and roster rush out of AWL HQ like frightened rabbits. I suppose I can't blame them for it, but I CAN blame them for us not having any bolg posts this week until now. The good news is that I can report that the AWL Commissioner himself has sent me the card for this weekend's AWL 135 event. And the show will be headlined by a HUGE Champion vs. Champion Match:

Prince Puma vs. A.J. Styles

Champion vs. Champion

Non-Title Match

After both Styles and Puma successfully retained their titles last week at Golden War 2015, the Commissioner decided that this would be a fun match to have, so we're having it.

What? Not every match has to have deep story line implications ya know. Sometimes it's just cool to see two great wrestlers go at it in the squared circle.

El Rudo Rojo vs. Tiger Mask II

Non-Title Match

I honestly can't believe I'm saying this, but thank goodness for El Rudo Rojo. Last week he took the AWL World Light Heavyweight Title away from Super Giant. This week, El Rudo Rojo has demanded a non-title match against the light heavyweight who recently challenged for the world title. Tiger Mask II! Even though the title is not on the line, a victory by the Heir to the Tiger Style would certainly catapult him to the top of the division.

The Augments (1) vs. Bullet Club (0)

Two weeks ago, Dr. Jigoku ordered the punishment of Yamada Jiro. Obviously, the team of Jiro and Tetsu has been dissolved. Yamada Jiro is going to be out for the rest of the season. Nobody misses him.

Meanwhile, the search for new tag team #1 contender's begins. The mad scientist of professional wrestling will be once again fielding his main team of Darkness Ryu and Project Tetsu, the "improved" versions of Dragon and Ganba respectfully.

Curry Man vs. Joe Obber

Danger Zone Match

Not much to explain about this one. Both of these men are in the bottom four of the AWL Win-Loss Rankings, which we call the Danger Zone. Every victory is a step toward escaping the Zone and avoiding Batsumania for another season.

Dragon vs. ????

Dragon Debut Series Match

This is interesting. We recently received a message from Dragon asking to reinstate the Dragon Debut Series. The DDS is a series of matches where debuting rookies get to have their first match with the original AWL Champion in order to give them a goal to aspire to. We haven't seen the DDS since Season 0 and I don't know why Dragon wants to restart the series now, but we have a handful of students in the AWL Dojo who the Commissioner thinks are ready to graduate to the main roster. So the Dragon Debut Series will begin again this Sunday at AWL 135.
