Season 16 Danger Zone Update #1


                A long running AWL tradition is the Batsumania Match.  At the season finale, the 4 wrestlers with the worst win-loss records compete in an elimination match where the winner of each fall leaves the ring and the loser of the final fall is immediately fired.
                As the finale approaches, I start posting these updates to let you know who is most likely to have to fight for their jobs.  Here’s the first Danger Zone update of the season:

Wrestler              Win        Loss       Total as of GW 2020
Tanaka Kenichi    52           -75          -23         
Hasaiki                 15           -27          -12         
Mr. Smiles            17           -29          -12         
Michael Dunne     3             -11          -8           

A few of the usual suspects on the list this year.  Tanaka Kenichi is so deep in the hole…again, that his only hope is to win a championship or become #1 contender for a title at the season finale as champions and challengers are immune from Batsumania.
Hasaiki and Mr. Smiles are two wrestlers who have always been one good run away from escaping the Danger Zone for good.  But unfortunately, they are in this position yet again.  Hasaiki isn’t the only former member of Nippon Yokatta in trouble as Hifumi Ryuji is on the bubble of the zone.
The saddest part of this report is “Australian Dynamite” Michael Dunne.  After 5 seasons in the AWL (including a detour into Global Wrestling Monopoly) he only has 3 wins on his record that only came since joining Sekai-gun.  I honestly hope he can either escape the zone or survive the challenge of Batsumania.
This weekend, the 4 members of the Danger Zone will compete in a traditional 4-way elimination match with up to three wins available to anyone who runs the table.
