News Update

There shall be no Grand Championship Match this week. And Shin Jidai, if you survive the week with your championships intact, we might be able to negotiate.

--Dr. Jigoku

That was another demand from Dr. Jigoku. But on to the actual AWL news. First up, the most recent rankings in the Clash of Styles Tournament:

1. Hardcore: Tanaka Kenichi (10/2)

2. Powerhouse: HAKAISHA! (7/2)

3. Specialists: Sammy Nix (6/2)

4. Lucha Libre: Ma-Ji-Ku (5/2)

5. Tiger Style: Black Tiger III (4/2)

5. Technical: Kid Canada (4/2)

6. Strong Style: Yamada Jiro (2/2) X

7. Brawler: Luke James (0/2) X

It's worth noting that if either Black Tiger III or Kid Canada lose another match (or if one more wrestler passes the 8 point mark), they will be eliminated from the tournament.

Now for the current Danger Zone Rankings:

Wrestler	Win	Loss	Total	as of AWL 194
Jon Shina	3	-20	-17	DANGER ZONE	LOCKED
American Beetle	45	-58	-13	DANGER ZONE	LOCKED
Mr. Smiles	1	-11	-10	DANGER ZONE
Tanaka Kenichi	31	-41	-10
El Rudo Rojo	36	-45	-9	DANGER ZONE
Luke James	32	-41	-9	DANGER ZONE

Tanaka Kenichi, being almost certain to (ugh) make it to the finals of the Clash of Styles Tournament, has been removed from the Danger Zone. That leaves Mr. Smiles, El Rudo Rojo, and Luke James to duke it out for the final two slots in Batsumania. While the card for next weekend has not been announced, Luke James should be scheduled to compete and all CoS matches count toward the overall win loss records.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the full card for AWL 195 and a major announcement from the AWL Commissioner.
