AWL 333 Full Show

 This week on the Animated Wrestling League:

Starting off with tag team action, Double Dragon looks to earn their way into the title picture but they have to beat the first intergenerational tag team in AWL history.

A second Fight for 4, this time in the Joshi Division as the superheroes face the cute monster girls.

The top 4 men's tag teams in the AWL face off in an elimination match that will set the seeding for the AWL Tag Matsuri Gauntlet Match in 2 weeks!

One of the top wrestlers in the AWL Joshi Division faces an undefeated monster form the laboratory of Dr. Jigoku.

Main Event Friday!

For the 10th time, Jigoku DESTROY steps into the ring to defend the AWL Grand Championship.  On the other side of the ring, the submission expert who might just be able to find the chink in the armor of the champion.

The Final Challenge is Set!

Back at Obonnanza 2020, Kid Canada announced that he wanted to make the AWL Intercontinental Championship truly intercontinental by defending against wrestlers from 5 different nations.  Well, it looks like that was a mistake during a pandemic as we appear to have run out of countries from which to draw challengers.

OR SO WE THOUGHT!!

This past weekend, the following letter of challenge arrived at AWL HQ:

That Canadian clod has gotten my attention.  That was a serious miscalculation.  You seek competition based on arbitrary lines on a piece of paper?  Foolishness if you ask me, but so be it.  Despite its recent failures, my Project-Z is originally from Australia.  If you wish to prove that you deserve to face my Destroyer, prove it by beating one of my Augments this week at AWL 334.

--Dr. Jigoku

AWL 332 Full Show

 AWL 332: 世界のスポーツ World of Sport

3 wrestlers with equally terrible win loss records face each other to see who will fall to the DANGER ZONE!  By special order of the AWL Commissioner, this match is 1 fall to a finish!

After an unsuccessful singles match against Hifumi Ryuji last week, Shynron and the Double Dragons try to get things back on track in a tag team match with the #2 ranked team in the AWL Best 4.

Two of the best technical wrestlers in the AWL face off in a #1 Contender's Match with the winner set to face Jigoku DESTROY for the AWL Grand Championship next week!  By mutual agreement of both wrestlers, this match will be a Submission Match!!

Sekai-Gun vs. The Augments

Trios Match!

With Kid Canada one win away from earning the right to cash in the IC Title for a free shot at the Grand Championship, the international army must face the full force of Dr. Jigoku's Augments.

Joya vs. "Lady Smooth" Jessica Kidd

World of Sport Rules Match

2 Falls, 2 Submissions, or a KO in up to 5 rounds

Main Event Friday continues the feud between new AWL Joshi Champion Joya and former champion Jessica Kidd.  Kidd feels she was cheated out of the title when the referee stopped the title match at Champions' Week and challenged Joya to this World of Sport Rules Match.  While the AWL Joshi Championship is NOT on the line tonight, if Jessica Kidd can beat the champion not once but twice, she will have an excellent argument for reinstatement into the AWL Best 4.

Tag Matsuri Main Event Announced!

 Greetings Grapple Fans!

The AWL Commissioner has announced that AWL 335 will be this year's TAG MATSURI!  For those of you who are new to the Animated Wrestling League, the Ta Matsuri is our annual fall event where we celebrate the tradition and artistry of tag team wrestling.  Naturally, both AWL Tag Team Championships will be defended.

Additionally, AWL Head Trainer Dragon has announced that 4 wrestlers have made sufficient progress in their training that they are ready to advance to the main roster.  Therefore, there will be a Tag Team Graduation Match at the Tag Matsuri.  I should point out that the last team to win a Tag Team Graduation Match, the Flying Yukis are now former AWL World's Tag Team Champions.

In the past, the Tag Matsuri has always featured a tag team gauntlet contested to 3 points under our old 3 point system.  Since that system has fallen into the dustbin of history,the AWL Commissioner has come up with a new gauntlet that will take advantage of the tag team edition of the AWL Best 4:

2020 Tag Team Gauntlet:

Match 1: Best 4 #4 vs. Best 4 #3

Match 2: Winner of Match 1 vs. Best 4 #2

Match 3: Winner of Match 2 vs. Best 4 #1

Match 4: Winner of Match 3 vs. House Classic (C)

    AWL World's Tag Team Championship Match

    1st Title Defense

Format Notes

Ok, quick update to how things are going to work around here.  Once a week, either Saturday or Sunday Japan time, the full 5 video episode of the Animated Wrestling League for that week will be posted.  Additionally, each Monday there will be a preview for the following week’s AWL show.

 

If you wish to keep up day by day and match by match, the YouTube channel is probably your best bet.

 

This week on the Animated Wrestling League:

We have reached the half-way point of the season and that means the DANGER ZONE is once again in play.  Some familiar faces occupy the bottom of the AWL Win-Loss Rankings this season:

1. THUGLIFE Tanaka Kenichi 53-82 (-28)

2. Hasaiki 16-31 (-15)

3. Mr. Smiles 20-32 (-12)

4. Hifumi Ryuji 15-22 (-7)

All 4 members of the Danger Zone will be in action at AWL 331.  For some, this represents an honest chance to save themselves.  For the rest, it’s a chance to warm up for the career threatening Batsumania Match at AWL 340.

 

In addition, this week on Main Event Friday, a special 5-Way Scramble Match between 5 of the AWL’s top second generation wrestlers.  4 falls to a finish and this will be a Fight for 4!
