AWL 347

AWL 329 FULL SHOW

AWL 324 Pt. 2

 

AWL 323 Pt. 1

AWL 321 Pt. 4

NEWS FLASH:

                AWL Wrestler Tiger Mask II has made the following announcement (Translated from the original Japanese by the AWL Translation Team):

                “Shin Tiger Jr. and I were entered into the Forge because we had a point in the old system.  That point was a relic from the time Tiger the Dark and I were training our students and it was a terrible idea.  The philosophy of the Unified School of the Tiger Style is that, while we wear the gold and black colors to remember our history, there is no Golden Tiger Style or Black Tiger Style, only THE Tiger Style.

                We should never have been in that tournament and we certainly should not be in the Best 4.  Therefore, I have requested that the AWL Commissioner remove my name from the rankings and insert Black Tiger Justice.  It’s time for the young generation to take the lead.”

                And the AWL Commissioner has granted this request.  Therefore, the AWL Best 4 for the Men’s Tag Team Division now looks like this:

1. Bullet Club

2. The New Classics

3. Monster Union

4. The Tiger Brothers

AWL Pre Season 17 Forge the 4 Pt 4

AWL Pre-Season 17: Forge the 4 Pt. 3

AWL Forge the 4 Pt. 1

Card for AWL 320 so far.

                Last weekend the leader of the Purosentai Resurangers, ResuRED dropped a HUGE bombshell that completely changed the look and landscape of our upcoming season finale.  At AWL 320, the heroes are cashing in the Golden Opportunities that they won at last season’s finale in the Tokyo Dome against every title the Augments still hold.  This monumental shakeup means the card for AWL 320 currently looks like this:

AWL 320: Season 16 Finale

MAIN EVENT:

JIgoku DESTROY (C) vs. ResuRED (GO)

AWL Grand Championship Match

5^th Title Defense

The Augments (C) vs. Purosentai Resurangers (GO)

AWL World’s Tag Team Championship Match

4^th Title Defense

                With X-Drone losing the Intercontinental Championship to Hebitsukai last weekend, there is no need for the Resurangers’ third and final Golden Opportunity to be cashed in at this time.  Additionally, while it stands to reason that ResuBLUE will use his Super Sentai Super Power “One Man Tag Team” to challenge for the AWL World’s Tag Team Titles, the exact line up has yet to be determined.

                But that’s not the only title match currently scheduled for AWL 320.  The best and biggest of the AWL Joshi Division will face off one more time with the gold on the line!

Akira Merune (C) vs. Athena Jane (#1)

AWL Joshi Championship Match

1^st Title Defense

                In other news, a mysterious post to this very blog last week would seem to indicate that Ganba Hisshi Dark has accepted the challenge of Matt Classic Sr. so we here at AWL HQ feel comfortable adding the match to the card:

Matt Classic Sr. vs. Ganba Hisshi Dark

Lucha de Apuesta

                Next, a NEW match just announced for the finale!  With the Resurangers taking over the main event, the AWL Best 4 are out in the cold…until now.  The AWL Commissioner has decided to put a contract to challenge the AWL Grand Champion (Whomever he may be) at next season’s premier in a briefcase and…you can see where this is going, right?

Lee Masters vs. King Akira vs. Wyvern vs. Tiger Mask II

LADDER MATCH!!

Winner challenges for the Grand Championship at AWL 321!

                Last, and least, starting off the show will be 4 worst wrestlers in the AWL today fighting to save their careers.  At this point, all 4 members are mathematically LOCKED in the Danger Zone so it’s time to finally announce the match officially.

“Thuglife” Tanaka Kenichi vs. Mr. Smiles vs. Hasaiki vs. Michael Dunne

BATSUMANIA

                It’s already been a chaotic couple of weeks already so I have no doubt that this card will change several times between now and AWL 320.  In fact, check right back here tomorrow for a match announcement with serious finale implications.

Tetsu the Big Metal Dog

                Last week, Dr. Jigoku’s new Guard Dog Rule came into effect and it has already had a massive effect on the AWL Best 4 as Wyvern has fallen from #1 to #4.  That means the AWL Best 4 now looks like this:

AWL Best 4:

1. Shynron

2. Lee Masters

3. King Akira

4. Wyvern

This weekend, the Guard Dog Rule will be in effect once again and Dr. Jigoku has called out the heavy hitters:

Shynron vs. Project 鉄

Guard Dog Match

AWL 313: Mirror Rematch

Ranks Ranks Everywhere!

As is to be expected after a Supercard, there are holes to be filled in in Best 4 rankings as the eternal quest for championship gold enters its next phase.  As such the following matches have been signed for AWL 313.

Hassan vs. King Akira

Fight for 4

                King Akira’s victory in the battle royal at Golden War 2020 has earned him this opportunity to enter the Best 4.  Hassan’s record and status as a Triple Crown Champion speak for themselves.  The winner will join Wyvern, Shynron, and Lee Masters in the race to challenge for the AWL Grand Championship.  Speaking of whom…

Wyvern (#1) vs. Project-Z

Rank on the Line

                Dr. Jigoku has used the leverage controlling most of the AWL Championships to institute a Guard Dog rule.  Anyone wishing to challenge Jigoku DESTROY for the AWL Grand Championship must defeat one of Dr. Jigoku’s other Augments first.  The first wrestler to have to tolerate this rule is The Young Dragon.

                Meanwhile in the Joshi Division:

Ladies of Lucha (0) vs. The Unholy Allience (0)

Points in Play

Fight for 3 and 4

The winners earn one point AND enter the Best 4 with the wrestler who gets the fall or submission taking the higher rank.

AWL 308: Super Suplexes

I told you there'd be a video this weekend!  The road to Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis continues as we find a #1 Contender to challenge Jigoku DESTROY at the Supercard in just 2 weeks!

AWL 306: Pulling Rank

Fight for...ever

                At AWL 305, the top two members of the AWL Best 4 took their shot at the AWL Grand Championship.  That means a couple of things.  First, there are now two empty slots in the Best 4.  Second, we need a new #1 Contender.  With all this in mind, the AWL Commissioner has put together the following matches:

AWL 306

MAIN EVENT

ResuRED vs. Tiger Mask II

AWL Grand Championship #1 Contender’s Match.

Wyvern vs. Erupcion Solar

Fight for 4

Matt Classic Sr. vs. Lee Masters vs. Sammy Nix

Fight for 3

                A note of explanation on that last match.  Matt, Lee, and Sammy are all bunched up together in the AWL Win-Loss Records and, with the chance to jump straight to the #3 slot, the AWL Commissioner feels that it’s only fair that you should have to beat 2 opponents rather than 1.

                All these matches will take place this weekend so stay tuned to this blog and our YouTube channel for more from the Animated Wrestling League!

AWL 305: Azteckaizer NEO vs. Project 鉄

Return of an Old Style

                Greetings wrestling fans!  RyuSensei here at the start of a BIG week for the AWL.  This weekend at AWL 305, the Grand Championship is on the line as hero meets monster in the squared circle.

                Additionally, a semifinal match has just been signed that promises to be a spectacle for any and all fans of scientific wrestling:

Jessica Kidd vs. Akira Merune

World of Sport Rules

2 falls, 2 submissions, or a KO in 5 rounds of 5 minutes

                As we all know, Jessica Kidd is the daughter of one of the greatest practitioners of this classic British style of professional wrestling and this will be her first WoS Rules Match in the AWL.  According to my sources, it was Akira Merune who requested this match.  Two weeks ago, Kidd forced Akira to tap out to the octopus hold to win the Joshi Tag Team Titles.  For a submission master to lose via submission is an embarrassment so this match, which favors submission and technical wrestling, will be a great chance for revenge.

                In other Joshi Division news, there has been a vacany in the AWL Best 4 for a number of weeks and we’re finally getting around to filling it:

Usa-Chan vs. Athena Jane

Fight for 4

                This will be Usa-Chan’s first chance to get back into the 

Best 4 since injury forced her to give up her spot.  Athena Jane will be a tough mountain to climb, but if anyone can do it, it’s the bunny girl.

AWL Commissioner Rules on Reshuffle Match

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I am the AWL Commissioner.

It has been a long time since I have needed to make a public statement regarding happenings in the Animated Wrestling League, so please forgive me if I seem somewhat out of practice at this.

Last weekend during episode 302 of The Animated Wrestling League, The Augments known as Project Tetsu and Jigoku DESTROY refused to continue a four way Reshuffle Match once they became the final two competitors.  As a result, Animated Wrestling League Senior Official Joey Babaganoush declared the match a no-contest.  As always, the referee’s decision is final and sacrosanct.  Senior Official Babaganoush was completely within his rights to make this most unusual call.  As a result, the two falls that did take place in the reshuffle match shall NOT be counted in the Animated Wrestling League Win-Loss Records.

However, while all action within the ring is the sole responsibility of the referee, responsibility for the Animated Wrestling League Best 4 Rankings lies solely with me.  ResuRED and Tiger Mask II did lose valid pinfalls and double teaming is legal in a Reshuffle Match.  Therefore, I see no reason not to alter the Best 4 Rankings to reflect those results.  The current Best 4 Rankings are as follows:

1. TBD

2. TBD

3. Tiger Mask II

4. ResuRED

As for the top two positions, there will be a match between the two Augments who refused to continue their match.  However, it shall not take place next weekend.  I’m instating a 1 week cooling off period.  Project Tetsu and Jigoku DESTROY are hereby suspended without pay until Animated Wrestling League Episode 304.  At which time the following match will take place:

Project Tetsu vs. Jigoku DESTROY

#1 Contender’s Match for the AWL Grand Championship

All Other Augments BARRED from Ringside.

If either competitor refuses to compete, BOTH will be immediately FIRED!

Do not push me Jigoku!  THIS!  I have COMMISSIONED!!!

AWL Joshi Division Best 4

After the events of last weekend's AWL 286 event, the AWL Commissioner has announced an update to the AWL Joshi Division version of the AWL Best 4:

1. Dragoness (Promoted due to her non-title victory over the AWL Joshi Champion)

2. Nekomusume

3. Wild Thing

4. Athena Jane

At AWL 287 there will be a match between Dragoness and Nekomusume with the winner to face Jackie M. for the AWL Joshi Championship.

AWL 283: Suplex vs. Submission
