Final Wars Teams Announced!

Both Tiger the Great III and Tiger Mask have announced their teams for Final Wars.  Remember, these teams ARE subject to change and revision up until bell time on December 3^rd.

Team GWM:

Tiger the Great III

Big Tiger II

King Tiger

Tiger the Black

GWM Intercontinental Champion Yellow Devil

GWM United States Champion American Beetle

GWM Tag Team Champion Miracle 1

GWM Tag Team Champion Miracle 2

Red Death Mask.

No surprises here.  All four of the Four Tigers, several champions, and a known killer in Red Death Mask.  Now for Tiger Mask’s picks for to represent the Animated Wrestling League:

Team AWL:

GWM World’s Heavyweight Champion Tiger Mask II

Tiger the Dark

HAKAISHA

Ma-Ji-Ku

AWL World’s Tag Team Champion Hassan

AWL World’s Tag Team Champion Kid Canada

Azteckaizer NEO

X

Two slots remain empty.  This is perfectly acceptable within the rules of Final Wars as long as the final roster is publicly available at least 24 hours before showtime.  An interesting lineup including three wrestlers who have never competed in GWM before and a couple who have only had one or two matches.  The most interesting choice to my mind is Tiger the Dark who, let’s be honest, hasn’t exactly won a lot of matches in his career.  I know he’s Tiger Mask’s friend, but I don’t think this pick helps his team.

Challenge Accepted

The challenge of GWM World’s Heavyweight Champion Tiger Mask has been accepted.  Global Wrestling Monopoly will face The Animated Wrestling League in Final War.

For those of you unfamiliar with this GWM custom, in Final Wars two Sports Entertainment Organizations face off in 5 matches.  Singles, tag team, trios, tag team, and singles in that order.  Whichever team wins the majority of those matches wins Final Wars.  The team line-ups must be announced ahead of time, but which Superstar competes in which match remains confidential until the match begins.

The stakes are incredibly high.  The winner of Final Wars claims ALL of the defeated company’s championship title belts, effectively putting them out of business.

This will be a 9 on 9 Final Wars.  Meaning that each team will consist of nine Superstars and no Superstar will be permitted to compete twice.

Final Wars: GWM vs. AWL will take place on Sunday, December 3^rd.

A Tiger's Response

The following message has been translated from Japanese.

Rematch clause?  What rematch clause?  In case you didn’t realize, I don’t have a contract with GWM.  I’m a freelancer, so your contract means exactly nothing to me!

But, if you want a chance to regain the GWM World’s Heavyweight Championship, I’ll give it to you on one condition:

GWM vs. AWL…FINAL WARS!

GWM WrestleMAX 11/19/2017

Message from the champ.

The GWM World's Heavyweight Champion, Tiger the Great III has a message for two upstarts who dream of challenging for the gold.

I have the right to name my challenger.  The false tiger and the insect want to be the one.  Let them earn the right to face me.  Let the ant and the cat face each other in an Iron Man Match!  I hereby declare that the winner of that match will be my chosen challenger.

A blockbuster announcement from the champion.  Two outsiders will face each other in a Sports Entertainment marathon for the privilege of competing against the greatest Superstar of all time!  Tune into GWM WrestleMAX for that epic encounter!

Fukumen World Tournament Part 2

Fukumen World Tournament Part 1

Weekly Diva Dirt

Hey there GWM Universe, Weekly Diva Dirt is back!  With all the focus on the tournament, the ladies are not being forgotten!  First things first, there will be a Diva’s Tag Team Match this weekend on WrestleMAX.  It will be a rematch between Athena Jane & Miss-X and the Kiseki*GIRLS’ Haruko & Fuyuko.

Also, and more importantly, the Divas will have a presence at the Fukumen World Tournament event itself!  6 of the best Divas in all of Sports Entertainment will compete in a Battle Royal to crown a new #1 Contender to the GWM Diva’s Championship.  They are (in no particular order):

Fox Payne, Spring Tiger,Akiko, Athena Jane, Kyuuketsu Lady, and Sexy Star!

The go home show nobody cares about!

Even with the Fukumen World Tournament only a week away, we have contractual obligations to fulfill and that means there WILL be an episode of GWM Wrestle MAX this weekend.

In the Double Featured Contest, first, the GWM United States Championship will be on the line as American Beetle defends the championship against the man who defeated him in a qualifying match last week, Prakash Sabar.

Second, 3 of The 4 Tigers will unite against a team of 3 other qualified Superstars in a trios match.

There will also be other matches.

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.

BREAKING NEWS!

American Beetle has CASHED IN his automatic rematch clause and will challenge for the GWM United States Championship TOMORROW!  That title match will be brought to you in its entirety on this Sunday’s episode of GWM Wrestle MAX.

American beetle is already scheduled for a Fukumen World Tournament qualifying match to be filmed this Saturday.  He WILL honor that commitment.  Failure to appear for a scheduled match is an immediate firing offense for ANY GWM Superstar.

Fukumen World Tournament qualifiers.

We don’t know how they will be matched up yet, (the matches will take place tonight, tomorrow, and Friday at GWM Live Events) but here are the 12 Superstars who will fight for a birth in the Fukumen World Tournament:

It’s an impressive and gold laden collection of Superstars.  The possible match-ups are intriguing so it’s important to remember, anything can happen in the GWM!

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?

World Championship #1 Contender's Match Announced!

As if this weekend’s episode of GWM WrestleMAX wasn’t stacked enough with 3 championship matches, a bout has been scheduled for tomorrow’s GWM Live Event that will may shake the foundation of all Sports Entertainment going forward!

Big Tiger II, King Tiger, AND Tiger the Black will face each other in a Triple Threat Match.  The winner faces Tiger the Great III next week for the GWM World’s Heavyweight Championship!!

That title match will also be the LAST title match before the Fukumen World Tournament on Halloween Night.

Weekly Diva Dirt

Hey there Diva Fans!

Obviously the biggest and only story anyone is talking about in the GWM Diva’s Division this week is the championship match between Queen and Natsuko.  Queen is currently in her 5^th month as GWM Diva’s Champion while Natsuko is a rookie who hasn’t even worked here that long.  All the professional odds makers are looking at this as a lopsided easy win for the champion, but we have some exclusive news that may alter those betting lines a bit:

Natsuko WILL be accompanied by ALL THREE of her fellow Kiseki*GIRLS for her championship match!

That’s a LOT of coaching and emotional support in her corner, but will that be enough to overcome the height, power, and experience advantages of the Queen of the Divas?  Tune in this weekend and find out!

3 Championship Matches Announced!!

Three of the most prestigious championships in all of sports entertainment will be defended this week and you’ll get to see all of it on GWM WrestleMAX!

Yellow Devil (C) vs. Yamada Jiro—GWM IC Championship Match—STEEL CAGE!

American Beetle (C) vs. ?—GWM United States Championship Match—A.C.E.

Queen (C) vs. Natsuko—GWM Diva’s Championship

WEEKLY DIVA DIRT

We have a lot of Diva related news this week.  First, it’s time to crown as new #1 Contender to the GWM Diva’s Championship.  In the last few weeks, Natsuko, Kyuuketsu Lady, and Fox Payne have all won 1-on-1 matches and will face off in a Triple Threat Match.  The first Diva to score a pin or submission will face Queen for the GWM Diva’s Championship!

In other Diva’s Division news, Athena Jane is livid about losing to not one, but two if the Kiseki*GIRLS and has demanded a match with BOTH Fuyuko and Haruko.  However, GWM Management were not happy about this because handicap matches are reserved for punishment and the Kiseki*GIRLS are not going to be punished for winning.  So, Athena Jane has to find a tag team partner.  If she does, the match is on!
