Unfortunately, due to injuries suffered during events shown on last
weekend’s WrestleMAX, both Tiger the Dark and Azteckaizer NEO are OUT of Final
Wars. Team AWL Captain Tiger Mask II has
provided this updated list:
Tiger Mask II, Hakaisha, Ganba, Ma-Ji-Ku, Hassan, Kid
Canada, Wyvern.
“The Japanese Megastar” Ganba is replacing Tiger the Dark and Wyvern is
replacing his Shin Jidai partner Azteckaizer NEO.
But the biggest news is that we also now know the final two members of the
team:
“Peacemaker”
Luke James!
Both Ganba and James were released from their GWM contracts after attacking
John Hero last week. Tiger Mask II as
only too happy to snap both of them up for the team. Luke James was the final AWL Grand Champion
before the company was forced to shut down.
He will undoubtedly be looking for some measure of revenge at Final
Wars.
And now the big one:
RAINMAKER
Okada Kazuchika!
That’s right! While best known as
the longest reigning IWGP Champion of all time, the Rainmaker is also a former
AWL Grand Champion, one of only two men ever to hold IWGP and AWL gold at the
same time (the other being AJ Styles), and the winner of the AWL’s first ever
Ultimate Summit Tournament. He defeated
Tiger the Great III in The Third’s first ever televised loss.
With the team chock full of current and former champions, including two men
who have beaten Tiger the Great III, this Final War is by no means a foregone
conclusion.
