AWL Contractual Obligation Rumble

Coming soon: A Bad Idea

This weekend, in compliance with industry policy and against our better judgement, the Animated Wrestling League will present the second annual Contractual Obligation Rumble.  We apologize in advance.

Do we really have to do this?

                This weekend, AWL 263 will be a one match show.  That match will be *sigh* a stagger start over the top rope battle royale.  Yep.  We’re doing a royal rumble match.

                On the plus side, you’ll get to see 30 AWL Wrestlers in one match and the winner of this match walks out with a Golden Opportunity which, as anyone who watched AWL 261 can tell you, is an express ticket to the AWL Grand Championship.

                On the down side, there’s apparently a rule that EVERY wrestling company has to have a rumble match now.  Lucha Underground has Aztec Warfare, Chikara has the Infinite Gauntlet, MLW has Battle Riot, NJPW has the Wrestle Kingdom Jobber Battle Royal (or they did until this year), PWG has the Gorilla Rumble, ROH has the Honor Rumble, etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum.

                I guess the wrestling police threatened to fine the AWL Commissioner if we didn’t start doing one of these dumb things so next week 30 wrestlers will get the chance to win a match without actually pinning or submitting anyone!  YAY! (?)

                It’ll be called The Contractual Obligation Rumble.
