IT'S TIME!

At long last, the AWL Joshi Tag Team Championship Tournament will begin this weekend at AWL 253!  Every day this week, I’ll be revealing a new tag team that will be entering the tournament.  For today however, let’s quickly go over the format.

                8 teams will be competing in this tournament.  There will be 4 quarter final matches over the next 4 weeks at AWL 253-256.  The semifinals will be the following two weeks and the finals to crown the first ever AWL Joshi Tag Team Champions will take place at AWL 260, the Season 13 Finale!

The teams so far are:

Team #1. Yin & Yang: The first ever tag team of any gender in the Animated Wrestling League.  They’ve come out of retirement to join the Joshi Division.  They’re also the only team in the tournament who’ve held tag team gold in the past being the first ever AWL Tag Team Champions.

Team #2. Queens of Wrestling: If Yin & Yang represent the history of the AWL, these two are the present.  The undefeated Joshi Champion and the only woman to have challenged for the title twice.  Friends outside of the ring, they are a powerful combination inside it.

Team #3. Ladies of Lucha: Two of Mexico’s latest and greatest exports.  Lucha Libre is a style recognized around the world for its history and spectacular style.  While Joya and Tormenta de Fuego may be young both in terms of age and their pro wrestling careers, they have all the tools needed to become champions and this tournament is the perfect opportunity to put it all together.

Team #4. Modern Day Warriors: Power, power, and more power!  That’s what these women are all about.  Athena Jane, the final GWM Diva’s Champion and former member of the AWL Best 4, is the strongest woman in the Joshi Division by a mile.  The only person who comes close is her tag team partner, Jackie M.  With a century old chip on her shoulder, she will stop at nothing to become a champion.

Team #5. Purosentai Resurangers: As we learned last weekend, Resu Yellow has the power to jump across the gender line at will.  She will use this power to join Resu Pink in the tournament.  Resu Yellow’s athleticism and Resu Pink’s strength may prove the be the ultimate Resu Gattai.

Tune in tomorrow to learn the identity of team #6.
