Fukumen World Tournament Part 2

Fukumen World Tournament Part 1

Challenge from the Champion!

He is a man of few words, often preferring to do his talking in the ring.  Nevertheless, we’ve received an official public statement from GWM World’s Heavyweight Champion, Tiger the Great III regarding the incident that happened after his most recent title defense (an issue I have been forbidden to write about until now).  Here is his statement in its entirety:

“Fire Ant.  If you want to fight me for my championship, that’s fine.  All you have to do is win the Fukumen World Tournament.  I’ll see you on Halloween.”

That message was accompanied by a formal statement from GWM Management officially inviting Fire Ant to join the Fukumen World Tournament.  Therefore, the official list now stands at:

Tiger the Great III (GWM World’s Champion)

Big Tiger II

King Tiger

Tiger the Black

Big Foot

American Beetle (GWM US Champion)

Miracle 2 (GWM Tag Team Champion)

Azteckaizer NEO

Mr. Azerbaijan

Prakash Sabar

Hasaiki

Fire Ant

4 more Superstars to be determined.

Fukumen World Tournament Update

We have some unfortunate news that has forced a change in line up at GWM’s Fukumen World Tournament.  During the qualifying match that was shown during last week’s GWM WrestleMAX, GWM Superstar Matt Classic Jr. took a hard fall where the back of his head bounced off the bottom rope.  While he persevered, finishing the match, pulling out a victory and, earning a slot in the tournament, he has been diagnosed with a concussion and is NOT medically cleared to compete.

GWM Management has allowed Matt Classic Jr. to name his own replacement in the Fukumen World Tournament.  Therefore…AZTECKAIZER NEO has been added to the field!

In thankfully less unfortunate news, another hole opened in the field when neither Red Death Mask nor Yellow Devil managed to qualify for the main tournament.  Since one can enter via qualification OR invitation, GWM Management has decided to invite…..AMERICAN BEETLE to join the Fukumen World Tournament!

With those changes in place, the list of Superstars officially announced for the tournament is:

Tiger the Great III (GWM World’s Champion)

Big Tiger II

King Tiger

Tiger the Black

Big Foot

American Beetle (GWM US Champion)

Miracle 2 (GWM Tag Team Champion)

Azteckaizer NEO

Mr. Azerbaijan

Prakash Sabar

Hasaiki

5 more Superstars to be determined.

Fukumen World Tournament for Dummies.

With the Fukumen World Tournament only two weeks away, we should probably go over the rules and rewards for the lucky Superstars involved.

1. 16 masked Superstars will compete in a one night, single elimination match.  Win and go on, lose and go home.  In the event of a double count out or double DQ, BOTH men are eliminated.

2. There are two ways to enter the tournament, by invitation or by winning a qualifying match.

3. The winner of the tournament receives a $10,000 cash prize, an automatic GWM World’s Heavyweight Championship Match, and the title of World’s Greatest Masked Superstar!

Already announced for the tournament:

Tiger the Great III

Big Tiger II

King Tiger

Tiger the Black

Big Foot

That leaves 11 slots to be filled and I can announce that there will be 6 qualifying matched this week that will air this weekend on GWM WrestleMAX!  That means 5 slots in the tournament will be given away by invitation and will remain unknown until the day of the tournament.  After all, what’s Halloween without a few surprises?

FUKUMEN WORLD TOURNAMENT UPDATE

The fifth participant has been announced for the Fukumen World Tournament:

BIGFOOT shall join the 4 Tigers in the quest to determine the  #1 Masked Superstar in the world.  11 slots remain.  Stay Turned to Fukumen World Tournament for all the latest updates.

It's that time again!

FUKUMEN WORLD TOURNAMENT ANNOUNCEMENT!

The GWM’s annual quest to find the best masked wrestler in the world is back!  On Sunday, October 29^th, 16 of the greatest masked men in Sports Entertainment will face off in a one-night single elimination tournament.  The winner will not only receive the glory of winning the tournament, they will receive $100,000 (or the equivalent in their local currency based on exchange rates at 9:00am the day of the tournament) AND most importantly, a future championship match against Tiger the Great III!

Furthermore, I can announce that ALL FOUR Tigers will compete in the tournament!!

That’s right, even Tiger the Great III.  If the champion wins the tournament, he will earn the right to choose his own challenger for his next title defense.  He will have 7 days to make his announcement.
