We have a new Grand Champion!
Sammy
Nix is officially the 7th AWL Grand Champion! (Since the unification
of the heavyweight and light heavyweight titles). He joins Tanaka Kenichi, Wyvern, Hassan,
Okada Kazuchika, Project Tetsu, and Chiba Akagi in this exclusive
brotherhood. He is also the second
wrestler to win the New Year’s Tournament and the Grand Championship on back to
back shows (Wyvern did the same thing last year when he defeated Tanaka Kenichi
for the title). Sammy Nix is also the
second foreigner and second American to win the title.
But he has a difficult road ahead of him.
The new #1 Contender is Erupcion Solar, the young luchador who defeated
former champion Chiba Akagi in the New Year’s Tournament. If Sammy survives that challenge he can look
forward to a rematch from the New Year’s Tournament Final against Hassan. Beyond
that? There are two giants waiting in
the wings to squash the little suplex master into a human pancake. All in a day’s work for the AWL Grand
Champion.
We also have a NEW AWL Intercontinental Champion in Tiger Mask II. He’s looking for competition so he can rack up those all-important 5 wins and cash in for a free shot at the Grand Championship. Twice the AWL IC Title has been cashed in and twice a new Grand Champion has been crowned. Will Tiger Mask be the third? We’ll find out together because Tiger Mask’s first title defense as already been scheduled for THIS WEEKEND at AWL 201!! The identity of the challenger has yet to be announced, but we hope to have that news for you as soon as possible.
