Fall out from The Golden War.

The Animated Wrestling League was humiliated last week!  Myself, the AWL Commissioner, the Translation Team, and even the temp workers nobody remembers ten minutes after they leave worked our collective backsides off to put together a one of a kind tournament.  Something that has never been attempted in professional wrestling before (and probably never will again) and the AWL Grand Champion LOSES IN THE FIRST ****ING ROUND!!!

Well, that simply won’t stand.  The AWL Commissioner has decided that Wrestler X simply can’t be allowed to remain at AWL Grand Champion any longer than necessary.  Therefore, the following match has been announced for AWL 212:

Jack Butcher (#1) vs. Tiny (#2)

Rank on the Line

Winner faces Wrestler X for the title at AWL 213!

No matter who wins this number once contender’s match, the king of gimmick infringement will have to channel his inner monster to keep his belt at AWL 213.

While the Ultimate Summit was an embarrassment for the AWL, it was yet another accolade in the career of easily the best Japanese wrestler of the 2010’s, the Rainmaker Okada Kazuchika now has a Golden Opportunity.  The unquestionable right to demand any match, any time, any place, any opponent, any stipulation and not even the AWL Commissioner can veto it!

However, Okada is not the only man in the AWL with such power.  THUGLIFE Tanaka Kenichi also holds a Golden Opportunity that he got for winning the Clash of Styles tournament last season.  (Golden Opportunities do not expire.)

So, because he’s not above booking a match just because it’s intuitive (and because we all enjoy watching Tanaka Kenichi getting his ass kicked) the AWL Commissioner has done the obvious:

RAINMAKER Okada Kazuchika vs. THUGLIFE Tanaka Kenichi

Battle of the Bearers

And yes, this will be the main event of AWL 212.

Check back tomorrow for more news from the Animated Wrestling League.
