AWL Supercard: Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis 2019!

Champions and Challengers

                At Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis, three championships will be decided in the AWL Ring.  As AWL custom dictates, we open the floor to champions and challengers to speak their minds on the eve of combat.  First up, the British Openweight Championship (and we thank the British Wrestling Alliance for once again allowing us to host a title match for one of their championships in the Animated Wrestling League):

Shynron: I didn’t come to the AWL to become a British champion.  I’ve held titles around the world, but winning a UK championship in Tokyo seems like one for the record books.  But what really motivates me in this match is cowardice.  Frederick Victor couldn’t beat me on his own, so he gets his pet blue collar brawler to do his dirty work for him.  Yeah, I’ve seen that before in my life, it’s nothing new.  Jerry, I know how big you are and how big of a challenge this match is going to be.  But giants don’t slay dragons.

Frederick Victor (Speaking for Big Jerry):  My most sincere apologies, but Jerry is in the gym training for this match and simply cannot be disturbed at the moment.  But let me tell you what’s going to happen this weekend.  The British Openweight Championship will come back to The Empire.  Why?  Because we are British, and the championship is our birthright.  We will not allow an…American…to sully the belt one moment longer than necessary.

Next, the Joshi Tag Team Championships:

Queens of Wrestling:

Dragoness: This is fantastic!  A title match on a Supercard like Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis is an important validation for the newest titles in the AWL.  Akira Merune and I congratulate the Purosentai Resurangers on their impressive victory and earning 3 points in one night.  That’s a rare accomplishment in the AWL.  It’s been a long time since AWL 160 and the finals of the Joshi Tag Team Tournament none of us are the women or the wrestlers we were then.  The Queens of Wrestling look forward to seeing how you have grown.

Purosentai Resurangers:

Resu Pink: We are defenders of justice.  This weekend our teammates will seek justice for fallen heroes.  Where as Yellow and I will seek justice for our failure at AWL 160.  Our connection to that which empowers us is stronger than ever and the mistakes of last time won’t be repeated.  We respect you as warriors.  Let’s have a fantastic match!

How nice.  Now for a match that won’t be anywhere near as friendly.  The main event for the AWL Grand Championship.

Sammy Nix: I’m scared ****less of this guy.  I’m man enough to admit it.  This mother****er is actually thinks he’s a demon from Hell!  Maybe he’s for real, maybe it’s all a magic show.  But if there’s one thing I do know, it’s how to win a pro wrestling match.  Wherever it comes from, I know it’s all meant to psych me out and I’m not going to allow that ta happen.  Leave da hocus pocus at home and fight me like a man!!

Neither Ganba Hisshi Dark nor Gisei were available for comment.

Full Card for AWL Supercard: Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis 2019!

                The first of two spring Supercards (and the last of the Heisei Era) is just a week and a half away.  Not only will three championships be on the line, but a MASSIVE Lucha de Apuestas will change the landscape of the AWL one way or another.

AWL Supercard: Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis 2019!

MAIN EVENT

Ganba Hisshi Dark (C) vs. Sammy Nix (#1)

AWL Grand Championship Match

1^st Title Defense

                The Demon from The Pit has taken control of the AWL Grand Championship.  The only member of the AWL Best 4 who doesn’t work for Dr. Jigoku will try and take it back.  But now that Ganba and Gisei control the most powerful prize in the AWL, what new dark powers will the former hero bring forth from the pit?

The Dorei Corps vs. Purosentai Resurangers

Lucha de Apuestas

Mascara contra Oportunidad de Oro

                You all saw the gauntlet being thrown down last weekend.  Well, the challenge has been accepted.  At Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis it will be an Atomicos ELIMINATION MATCH!  The Dorei Corps will wager their control masks against the Golden Opportunity Resu Red won in the Contractual Obligation Rumble back in January.  That means that we could get Wyvern, Hakaisha, Doombunny, and Ma-Ji-Ku back!  On the other hand, Dr. Jigoku’s forces could utterly dominate the AWL Grand Championship picture.

                By special order of the AWL Commissioner, this match will have a special 60 minute time limit.  The only mystery remaining is the line-up.  As you’ll see below, Resu Yellow already has a match in the Joshi Division and can’t compete.  That leaves only 3 male members of the team.  So, who will be the 4^th man?  Hopefully, we’ll find out at some point this week. 

Queens of Wrestling (C) vs. Purosentai Resurangers (3)

AWL Joshi Tag Team Championship Match

2^nd Title Defense

                The first ever 4 way tag team elimination match in AWL history resulting in the ultimate victory as Resu Yellow and Resu Pink picked up 3 points in 1 match.  This will be their title opportunity.  A rematch from the finals of the Joshi Tag Team Title Tournament.

Shynron (C) vs. Big Jerry

British Openweight Championship Match

World of Sport Rules

2 Falls, 2 Submissions, or a Knockout in 10 Rounds

1^st Title Defense

                The authorities over in the UK have authorized another match for the British Openweight Title on Japanese soil.  This time Big Jerry, the tag team partner of the former champion Frederick Victor, will try and bring the gold back to The Empire.  This match will be contested in 5 minute rounds.

                It’s only a week and change away.  However, AWL 271 is still coming up this weekend.  Hopefully I’ll have the card for that event tomorrow.
