Joshi Division Promos

                This weekend at AWL 314, 8 women will face off in a Battle Royal to determine the first woman to challenge for the AWL Intercontinental Championship.  It only seems fair to give these competitors a chance to address the AWL Fans before this historic match.  It also works as an easy way to announce who will be in the match.

Jackie M.
                First Joshi IC Champion.  Sounds good.  Sounds REAL good.  So does the idea of bashing a handful of skulls together and forcing my way back into a title match with that arrogant little shrimp Akira Merune.  I beat all her fancy holds before so I know she’ll never give me another title shot unless I force her to.  Suits me just fine!

Betty Bubbles
                Like, this is totes awesome!  Girl power and some junk.  And, like OMG I, like, get to be in the match?!  They, like, never let me be in the important matches.  It’s totally cray-cray.  Totes unfair ya know?  But this time all I gotta do is stand in the ring the longest?  Yas Queen!  Bling belt, here I come!!

Emily Nagsaki
                I stand in no woman’s shadow.  I’m proud of Jessica’s individual success and she more than deserves to be in the Best 4.  But this battle royal is my chance to stand out and accomplish something on my own in the Joshi Division.  I will not squander this chance.  皆さん頑張って下さい。もちろん私も頑張ります!

Usa-chan
                When the Joshi division started, I was at the top of the standings.  One of the 4 who fought to be the first ever Joshi Champion…and I blew it.  One massive mistake that has defined every day of my career since then.  Then, just when I make it back to the Best 4…BAM!  Injury time.  This IC title match means a route back to the top and I’m ready to remind the world what a badass bunny can do!

Nekomusume (This message translated from the original Japanese by the AWL Translation Team)
                Too many in the AWL locker room think Monster Union is a joke just because we’ve never won any titles-nya.  Well, we’re a group on the rise!  King Akira is in the men’s Best 4 and now I’ve been chosen to represent us in this IC battle royal-nya.  Just watch me and see what a monster can do.  VIVA!  MONSTER UNIONYA!!

ResuYELLOW (This message translated from the original Japanese by the AWL Translation Team)
                I’m grateful nobody has made the obvious and hurtful joke about me being in this battle royal.  I’d like to thank my partner ResuPINK for letting me step up and represent the Resurangers in this match.  I feel as if I have something to prove as a Joshi wrestler.  But this isn’t about me.  It’s about breaking the Golden Quadrangle and stopping Dr. Jigoku from taking over the entire AWL.  The first step on that path is this weekend.  From there?  We’ll find out together.

Yin
                If you’re wondering why I’m in this match rather than my sister, she lost rock-paper-scissors.  We’ve held “men’s” titles in the past.  We’ve won “women’s” titles in the past.  But this is our first chance to turn one into the other.  It will be an interesting application of…balance.

Dragoness
                I’ve been a tag team champion, but I’ve never been a part of a Golden Duo before.  That’s something not even Dad ever accomplished in the AWL.  And taking a title away from The Augments?  Even better!  Dad told me stories about how he and The Dragon School or The AWL All Stars would work together to defeat enemies none of them could beat on their own.  I’ve always wanted to be a part of something like that.  If I can do my bit to break the Golden Quadrangle, I know it’ll make my family proud.

Tune in this weekend to AWL 314 for the AWL IC #1 Contender’s Battle Royal and a whole lot more right here in the Animated Wrestling League.

Full Card for AWL Supercard: Golden War 2020


The matches are set.  The Golden Quadrangle faces its first real test at the hands of some of the best the AWL has ever seen.  Tag team partners will clash, mysteries will be unveiled, and stars will rise.  We may be staying home to save lives, but the wrestlers of the Animated Wrestling League are going to WAR!

AWL Supercard: GOLDEN WAR 2020!
MAIN EVENT
Jigoku DESTROY (C) vs. ResuRED (#1)
AWL Grand Championship Match
3rd Title Defense
                In the main event, the greatest prize in all of animated wrestling will be on the line as the leader of the most prominent heroes of the AWL faces Dr. Jigoku’s newest and most successful Augment.  The winner of the 2020 edition of the prestigious New Year’s Tournament.  An AWL Triple Crown Champion.  The most successful wrestler in terms of both career wins and win-loss records.  The only augment DR. Jigoku has ever put his name on.  Jigoku DESTROY!  It’s a clash between hero and monster for the AWL Grand Championship!

The Augments (C) vs. The New Classics (3)
AWL World’s Tag Team Championship Match
1st Title Defense
                From the leader of a great team to the undisputed greatest team in the history of the AWL.  Two Season 0 Originals that have held the AWL World’s Tag Team Championships a record setting six times defeating legendary teams like The All Americans, Big & Spicy, The AWL All Stars, Bullet Club, and Nippon Yokatta to win the gold.  What do all those teams have in common?  None of them exist in the AWL anymore and, apart from Bullet Club, none of them exist at all.  We can only hope the Augments will join that list.

X-Drone © vs. Azteckaizer NEO
AWL Intercontinental Championship Match
1st Title Defense
                When it comes to the only championship in the AWL where the AWL Commissioner has unilateral authority to name a challenger, he is not pulling ANY punches.  He has named the most recent former AWL Grand Champion and man with one of the most impressive win-loss records in the AWL.  Furthermore, it’s possible that the X-Drone’s duplication systems will be unable to copy the full power of the Star of Aztec.  But can we risk the power of the IC title on a mere possibility? 

Dragoness © vs. Akira Merune (#1)
AWL Joshi Championship Match
4th Title Defense
                The only title match at this year’s Golden War that doesn’t involve the Golden Quadrangle.  Dragoness has done a respectable job of establishing herself as a champion with some impressive and decisive title defenses.  But now she faces far and away the biggest challenge of her career, her own tag team partner and the woman who defined the AWL Joshi Championship.  Dragoness has never defeated Akira Merune in a title match.  Now she must or lose her best just as her title reign is hitting its stride.

K & K (0) vs. Yamada Jiro & X (0)
Points in Play
                Yamada Jiro seems to be on a roll when it comes to getting on his soap box and lamenting the sins of the Japanese people…and then losing matches to the people he calls out.  This time, he’s doubled his trouble and set his sights on the team of former stable mate Kyoujin Kobayashi and all time asshole Tanaka Kenichi.  As much as I personally oath the idea of hoping Tanaka Kenichi wins a match, this might be an exception.  But Yamada has one rather large problem…everyone hates him.  He claims to have a partner lined up, but I’ll believe it when I see it.   
Ma-Ji-Ku vs. ????
                Just yesterday, a strange post was made to this blog by person or persons unknown.  Nobody knows who posted it, but the only part that made sense was that a challenge has been laid down.  As a result, the Warrior of Light has agreed to take on this open challenge.  He knows something about the forces of darkness, so there’s none better to be the first to tackle what ma be a new threat to the Animated Wrestling League.

Hasaiki vs. Mr. Smiles vs. Michael Dunne vs. Hifumi Ryuji vs. King Akira vs. The Roc vs. Black Tiger Justice vs. Satoshi Tobu.
Over the Top Rope Battle Royal!
                It’s a simple fact of the professional wrestling business that matches on Supercards pay better than normal bookings and winning on a Supercard pays better still.  That’s why the AWL Commissioner has decided to take 8 wrestlers from lower down the rankings of the AWL and throwing them into this battle royal situation.  No titles are on the line but momentum and an all important trip to the pay window most certainly are!

Joshi Division Spotlight.

                13 and a half months ago, the Mistress of 1000 Holds climbed to the top of a ladder and became the first ever AWL Joshi Champion.  Now, more than a year later, she enters the ring against the strongest competitor in her seemingly unstoppable reign.  Yes, I’m talking about ResuPINK.  The tiny slip of a ranger.  While not as big as Athena Jane or as experienced as Dragoness, ResuPINK’s Super Sentai Super Power of mega strength make her more than a match for anyone in the ring.
                This will come down to who wrestles their match.  If it’s a standing brawl, ResuPINK will be the second ever AWL Joshi Champion.  If it’s a scientific wresting match, Akira Merune will continue to reign supreme.

                But there’s more to the AWL Joshi Division than a single title match.  No matter how the title match ends, we’re going to need a new member of the Joshi Division version of the AWL Best 4.  That’s the new match the AWL Commissioner has just announced:

Joshi Battle Royale!
Spring Tiger vs. Usa-chan vs. Wild Thing vs. Joya vs. Athena Jane 

vs. Yin vs. Yang vs. SOLO DARLING!

Full Card for AWL 246


With three huge matches already announced, we could probably call it a day and a match card.  But the AWL doesn’t have to worry about PPV windows or Luchadores who didn’t get the time cue.  So, the AWL Commissioner has announced the full card for AWL 246: Something Something with Cheese.
AWL 246 MAIN EVENT
Liga Cosmica (C) vs. 日本よかった (3)
AWL World Tag Team Championship Match
1st Title Defense

Veterans’ Battle Royal
8-Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal
All Participants Must Have More Than 3 Years Experience in the AWL
Winner takes the #2 slot.

                While the full 8 wrestler roster for this match hasn’t been announced yet, but I can announce that the 4 men who competed in last week’s tag match (Wyvern, Azteckaizer NEO, Hassan, and Tiger Mask II) will be in the Battle Royal.

Rookies’ Battle Royal
8-Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal
All Participants Must Have Debuted in the AWL in the Past 12 Months
Winner takes the #3 slot.

I have exactly zero information about who’s going to be in this one.  However, I have heard from reliable sources in the AWL offices that one of the participants in this Battle Royal will be making his AWL Debut!

The Empire (0) vs. 日本よかった (山田二郎&一二三隆二) (1)
Points in Play

One of the worst parts of my job is having to guess what the AWL Commissioner is thinking.  Is this match a wat to keep Yamada Jiro and Hifumi Ryuji out of the way so they don’t interfere with the tag team title match?  Or is this two random tag teams thrown together for a mid card tag match?  Frankly, it could be either one, both, or neither.

Tiger Mask II vs. Shin Tiger Jr.
Tiger’s Training Series Match #2

Yes, it’s going to be a long night for Tiger Mask II, but he insisted that the Tiger’s Training Series not be postponed.  Last week, we saw Tiger the Dark teach Black tiger Justice a hard lesson about how far he has to go to earn his stripes.  This week, it’s time for the apprentice of the Golden School of the Tiger Style to learn the same lesson from his sensei.

It’s going be a crowded night with more than 20 wrestlers booked on the card, but that’s the type of action you can expect each and every week from the Animated Wrestling League!

Tag Team Title Match and Battle Royals Announced


AWL 246 MAIN EVENT
Liga Cosmica (C) vs. 日本よかった (3)
AWL World Tag Team Championship Match
1st Title Defense

The luchadores make their first title defense against one of FOUR combinations of Nippon Yokatta that are entered in the AWL tag team division.  This time it’s the sempai charlatan “Liger” and the genuine lunatic Hasaiki.  Can the forces of good overcome the forces of deceit and insanity?  Find out this weekend at AWL 246. 

            Last weekend, we had a tag team match for two slots in the AWL Best 4…that ended in a time limit draw.  However, there was movement in the championship rankings last weekend.  El Hijo del Majiku is OUT and M-05 is in.  Meaning that the Dorei Corp dominate the Best 4:

AWL Best 4
1. LJ-04
2. TBD
3. TBD
4. M-05
                This weekend, we WILL fill those empty slots!  The AWL Commissioner has commissioned TWO Battle Royals to fill the ranks.

Veterans’ Battle Royal
8-Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal
All Participants Must Have More Than 3 Years Experience in the AWL
Winner takes the #2 slot.

Rookies’ Battle Royal
8-Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal
All Participants Must Have Debuted in the AWL in the Past 12 Months
Winner takes the #3 slot.

Full Card for GWM WrestleMAX 9/3/2017

Greeting GWM Universe!  GWM WrestleMAX will be heading your way this Sunday morning.

Unlike your smaller indy feds, Global Wrestling Monopoly has no “home base” arena.  We tour all over the world all year round.  The only way the members of the GEM Universe get to see a full show is to buy a ticket to one of our live events.  If you can’t afford the hottest ticket in town, fear not!  Because GWM WrestleMAX will bring you the best highlights and full matches from around the world and this weekend’s first episode is no exception.

Before I reveal the stacked card for this Sunday, I have some important news:

GWM Management (in consultation with YOUR World’s Heavyweight Champion Tiger the Great III) have decided to offer a limited number of contracts to former AWL talent.  While some…contractual obligations…were rejected by some of the less…visionary athletes, a fine selection of AWL competitors have taken our generous offer and will (over the next few weeks) make their debuts as GWM Superstars!

But enough about developmental, let’s talk about this Sunday’s Sports Entertainment:

GWM WrestleMAX 9/3/2017
FEATURED CONTEST:
Over the Top Rope Battle Royal
Winner faces Tiger the Great III for the GWM World’s Heavyweight Championship NEXT WEEK!
6 of the best Superstars in GWM today will compete for the privilege of facing the undefeated and undisputed GWM Champion.  Included in this massive match will be 3 of the 4 Great Tigers, Big Tiger II, King Tiger, and Tiger the Black!
Tiger the Great III set for singles action!
The champ will grace the ring with his presence and offer the GWM Universe the chance to see him showcase his skills!  Truly a honor to christen the first episode of WrestleMAX.
Miracles (C) vs. The Colony
For the GWM Tag Team Championships
Difficult as it may be to believe, the otherwise insignificant insects of Chikara pro wrestling (A minor sports entertainment organization from middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania) used the element of surprise and pulled off an upset win over the champs on the final AWL show.  Therefore the ants have earned a championship match.
Queen Elizabeth vs. Spring Tiger
Action in the Diva’s Division as the Queen of Sports Entertainment and GWM Diva’s champion faces the upstart false tiger in non-title action.
Yellow Devil in Singles Action
Rounding out this cavalcade of champions, the GWM Intercontinental Champion Yellow Devil will compete in non-title action against a debuting GWM Superstar.

Tune into this site Sunday Morning for the first ever episode of GWM WrestleMAX!
