Full Card for AWL Super Card Golden War 2018

                Golden War 2018 is less than 48 hours away!  We have the full card including every match in the AWL vs. NJPW Series!
MAIN EVENT:
Athena Jane vs. Dragoness vs. Akira Merune vs. Usa-chan
AWL Joshi Championship Ladder Match
                It’s a match that’s been months in the making, 4 of the best female wrestlers in the world today will fight to climb the ladder of success and become the first ever AWL Joshi Champion.  There will be many future champions, but only one can be first.

HAKAISHA (C) vs. Project 2.0 (#1)
AWL Grand Championship Match—4th Title Defense
                An unusual match for many reasons.  Not only is it unusual to see the Grand Championship defended in anything other than the main event, it’s virtually unheard of for anyone to challenge for the Grand Championship twice in a row.  But that’s exactly what Project Tetsu earned the right to do after running the table in the 4-way reshuffle match last weekend.
                HAKAISHA, on the other hand, is looking to continue his V6 Project and set a new record for the most title defenses in a single title reign.  The current record holder with 5 defenses?  Project Tetsu!
                HAKAISHA has beaten Project Tetsu before.  Project Tetsu has beaten HAKAISHA before.  Who will come out on top as the AWL Grand Champion?

Tiger Mask W (C) vs. 新時代 (3)
AWL World’s Tag Team Championship Match—1st Title Defense
                After surviving the longest match in AWL History, Wyvern and Azteckaizer NEO have more than earned the right to face the new AWL World’s Tag Team Champions in their first title defense.  The 3-Point System ensures that every set of challengers are qualified to be champions.  Will the Unified School of the Tiger Style be enough to meet the challenge of the New Generation?

AWL vs. NJPW Series:
Ganba vs. Okada Kazuchika
Non-Title Match
                Two of the best wrestlers in Japan today.  The most decorated AWL Champion in history versus the objectively greatest IWGP Heavyweight Champion in history.  There’s only one statistic that matters here: Ganba has NEVER beaten Okada one on one.

AWL vs. NJPW Series:
T49P (0) vs. Golden*Lovers (2)
Points in Play
                Thanks to a time limit draw, the Golden Lovers came away from the Tag Team Gauntlet with 2 points.  If they win this match, not only do they earn a victory for New Japan, they write their ticket to a title match against either Tiger Mask W or T49P.

AWL vs. NJPW Series:
Ma-Ji-Ku vs. Jushin Thunder Liger
                THIS!  This is the match I want to see!!  Two legends, both they undisputed #1 masked wrestler of their respective promotion.  They have never faced each other one on one.  In two days, that changes and we all get the opportunity to witness it!  Nuff said!

AWL vs. NJPW Series:
Chiba Akagi vs. Will Osprey
Non-Title Match
                Last weekend, Chiba Akagi (who I think we need to start calling the One Man Tag Team) forced the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion to tap out to the manji-gatame.  But, that was an Atomicos Match.  This will be one on one.  If Chiba Akagi can replicate the feat, I smell a title shot in his future.

Doombunny (C) vs. Frederic Victor
AWL Intercontinental Championship Match—2nd Title Defense.
                Even though it’s been under his self-imposed system of rules, it’s technically accurate to say that Frederic Victor has been winning a lot of matches lately.  That hopefully explains the AWL Commissioner’s reasoning in booking this last-minute IC title match.  All titles must be defended at the Golden War, so now we have fulfilled that requirement.
Until the show, have a happy Golden Week!
