Joint Statement

This has never happened before in the history of the AWL. Two opponents in a world title match have issued a joint statement for the wrestling press less than 24 hours before their match:

For over a week now people have been speculating that when we face each other at AWL 155, we are going to "implode" or that one of us will "swerve" the other and that this will turn into some big dramatic B.S.

Well, we hate to disappoint you. That is simply not going to happen. Yes, tomorrow two best friends are going to step into a 20 by 20 foot wrestling ring and we are going to have a wrestling match. One of us is going to walk out of The AWL Arena as AWL World's Heavyweight Champion.

And that's AWESOME! Why on earth would either one of us want to ruin the chance to main event an AWL card and become the heavyweight champion of the world? We want to see which of us is the best wrestler and we'll never find that out unless we both go at it full force in the ring. Fair and square, no B.S., no "turns," no "screw jobs."

We owe that to each other as friends. We owe that to the AWL fans as paying customers. We owe it to the AWL World's Heavyweight Championship itself! That prize that every single man in this locker room wakes up fighting for and falls asleep dreaming about.

Tomorrow at AWL 155, you are going to see a great wrestling match. Enjoy it.
