I told you I'd get you those
names! The following 6 AWL Wrestlers will compete in this weekend's
6-Man Scramble Match for the honor of joining the best 4:
Kenny Omega vs.
Project 鉄 vs.
Tiger Mask II vs.
Jack Butcher vs. Wrestler X
vs. American Beetle
6-Man Scramble Match
Fight for 4
Some very interesting names here.
This will be Kenny Omega's first AWL match since becoming the new
leader of Bullet Club (to say nothing of being the NEW IWGP
Intercontinental Champion/to say nothing of his first match since
failing to capture the IWGP Intercontinental Championship). Not only
will the rest of Bullet Club be watching and evaluating their new
leader, but the powers that be in New Japan Pro Wrestling will be
paying very close attention to this match.
Project 鉄 is
coming off of a big win at National Pro Wrestling Day and after his
tag team lost last week, I can only assume Dr. Jigoku will accept
nothing less than victory and a future chance at the AWL Grand
Championship.
Tiger Mask II is coming off of a
loss at NPWD. As for how he made it into this match? I'm not sure,
but with Prince Puma resuming his duties at The Temple, I imagine the
heir to the tiger style is looking to gain a foothold in singles
combat.
This will be Jack Butcher's first
match since the New Year's Tournament, where he made it into the
second round before losing to Wolf. But the big story with Jack
Butcher is his new look. After spending all of Season 8 in voluntary
exile (apparently in the Australian outback) he has returned more
violent and blood thirsty than ever.
Not sure what Wrestler X is doing
here, but the AWL Commissioner has been known to throw the odd wild
card into these kind of matches and the Master of All Styles is the
ultimate wild card. For those of you who may not be familiar with
Wrestler X, he has the uncanny ability to duplicate the entire move
set of anyone he's in the ring with. The problem is that he can only
copy one wrestler at a time, so which of his 5 opponents will he
choose?
Lastly, American Beetle. Under
the new rules for multiman matches, there is a possibility of a
single wrestler picking up 5 falls and therefore 5 victories in one
match. A rare opportunity. American Beetle is currently dead last
in the AWL Win-Loss Rankings so this may be an pity move by the AWL
Commissioner. But if American Beetle pulls off the final victory
here, that may place him indirect conflict with his tag team partner
Hassan at some point in the future.
