AWL 345

AWL Intercontinental Championship Scramble Match

 For the first time in AWL History, the IC Title is the exclusive property of the Joshi Division.  The 6 top wrestlers not currently holding gold or in the AWL Best 4 compete in an elimination scramble match to see who will take the first step on The Road Less Travelled!

 

The Future of the AWL IC Championship

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

As we approach the conclusion of the 17^th season of the Animated Wrestling League, we look forward to a main event where the Animated Wrestling League Intercontinental Championship will be cashed in for the right to challenge for the Grand Championship.  As exciting as this is for all of us here at Animated Wrestling League Headquarters, even more exciting is the prospect of crowning a new Intercontinental Champion after the title is cashed in.  It is for that reason that I have chosen to address you all today.

                First, the by then vacant Animated Wrestling League Intercontinental Championship will be awarded to the winner of a 6-Way Scramble Match that will take place during the pre-season to Season 18 of the Animated Wrestling League.  That means we will have a freshly minted Intercontinental Champion when Season 18 officially begins at AWL 341.

                Second, and I beg your forgiveness for burying the lead on this story, as of the conclusion of the cash in at AWL 340, THE ANIMATED WRESTLING LEAGUE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHALL BECOME THE EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF THE JOSHI DIVISION!

                I have amended the AWL Rule Book to reflect the following change: As long as the Animated Wrestling League Roster remains split into gendered divisions, the Intercontinental Championship shall switch divisions every time it is cashed in.  That means that the first woman to successfully defend the Animated Wrestling League Intercontinental Championship 5 times will become The Complete Intercontinental Champion and will earn the right to cash in for a shot at the Animated Wrestling League Joshi Championship under the stipulations of her choosing.  At which point the championship will revert to the men’s division.

                THIS!  I have COMMISSIONED!!  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

Let's get back to this.

                Welcome back wrestling fans.  It’s been a long and difficult week, but we’re on course to have the Season 16 Finale ready to post by this weekend, so we’re going to continue with our series of Finale Countdown interviews and promos right were we left off.  Today, the Joshi Division takes center stage.

                The Joshi Division will feature prominently at AWL 320 with three matches and two titles to be contested.  I spoke with all 10 Joshi Wrestlers who will compete at the Finale.  Here are the first 9.  The last, with ResuPINK, will be posted later this week as part of a series of interviews with the Purosentai Resurangers.

Akira Merune (Translated from the original Japanese by the AWL Translation Team): Everyone who becomes a professional wrestler dreams of building a legacy in this business.  I’m eternally grateful to the AWL Commissioner for allowing me that chance.  First Joshi Champion with a title reign that may never be equaled, first Joshi Tag Team Champion (Thanks Dragoness, love ya!), first two time Joshi Champion, and the list goes on.  ResuPINK is strong.  Stronger than me to tell the truth.  But just ask Athena Jane how I do against wrestlers stronger than me.

Wild Thing & Nekomusume:

Nekomusume: Nya!  We should be the ones wrestling for the tag team titles this weekend.  Whoever heard of a time limit draw in a gauntlet match-nya?  The whole point is to test the endurance of the wrestlers involved, so how come we have to stop after 15 minutes?  Hiss, that’s dumb.

                Wild Thing: Grrrr, none of that matters now kitty cat.  The only thing we have to deal with right now is beating the hell out of those two fossils and taking our two points.  We’ll take the tag team titles next season.  This weekend, we hunt…AWOOOOOOO!!

Yin & Yang:

                We respect Monster Union.  They are a perfect representation of this generation of wrestlers.  They are amazing athletes capable of doing things in that ring our generation could only dream of.  They are strong, fast, and skilled.  They’re also inpatient, undisciplined, and out of control.  This weekend, we will teach them the importance of balance.

Joya & Tormenta de Fuega (Translated from the original Spanish by the AWL Translation Team:

                Ever since we came to the AWL, we’ve been looked down on.  We aren’t the biggest, we aren’t the fastest, we aren’t superheroes or super villains, and we aren’t cute monster girls.  We’re just two lucharodas looking to make an impact in our sport.

                We FINALLY have a chance to fight for the AWL Joshi Tag Team Titles and we know these chances don’t come around everyday so we won’t waste our chance!               We’re going to show the world that L.O.L. is nothing to laugh at!

                (Yes, we’ve been saving that joke for some time.)

Jessica Kidd & Emily Nagasaki:

                We’re stuck in this country until this whole thing is over.  We have family in the UK that we can only see on a computer screen.  It sucks, but there are some bright spots worth focusing on.  We are the top female tag team in the world.  We are champions in a co-ed promotion that takes joshi wrestling seriously.  We’re not a joke, a time killer, or something for the make fans to have a wank over.

                We are the AWL Joshi Tag Team Champions.  That is the only thing we can control in our lives and we’re not letting that go without the fight of our lives!  So, bring it ladies, we’ll give you a warm British welcome.

That’s all for now.  Next, we take a look at the Lucha de Apesta at AWL 320!

AWL 319: Atomicos War

All Titles Will Be Defended at AWL 320

                Last weekend, Athena Jane threw a spanner in the works of the season finale by insisting on getting her title shot two weeks early.  Unfortunately for her, she came up short and left the AWL Commissioner with a bit of a problem.  You see, all three remaining members of the Joshi Division Best 4 are involved in the AWL Joshi Tag Team Championship Match at the finale, so there’s nobody to challenge for the singles title.

                Fortunately, the AWL Commissioner has a back up plan.  He has assembled the wrestlers with the four best win-loss records who are not already booked for AWL 320.  At AWL 319, they will compete in the following match:

Dragoness vs. Yang vs. ResuPINK vs. Nekomusume

SCRAMBLE MATCH

                3 falls to a finish with the winner challenging Akira Merune for the AWL Joshi Championship at AWL 320!

                But that’s not the only title that’s been left off of the card at AWL 320.  Hebitsukai has no opponent for his newly won AWL Intercontinental Championship.  The AWL Commissioner has a plan for this as well.  While it’s AWL style to punish failure, it’s also our style to reward success.

Hebitsukai (C) vs. TBD

AWL Intercontinental Championship Match

1^st Title Defense

                How is TBD TBD’d?  Simple, the winner of the first fall of Batsumania will challenge for the AWL IC Title!  That’s right, the IC Title is meant to be the road less traveled.  The way wrestlers who normally wouldn’t get a sniff of a title match can write their own stories and earn their own shot.  What could better embody that philosophy than someone who goes from being on the brink of losing their job to possibly becoming a champion?

AWL 318: Joshi Tag Gauntlet Match

Main Event set for AWL 318

                The AWL Commissioner has announced the following match where the winners will receive a title match at AWL 320:

AWL Joshi Division GAUNTLET MATCH!

To be contested to 3 points!

Winners challenge UK Gen2 at AWL 320!!

                The rules are simple.  Two tag teams begin the match.  Once a team is eliminated by any method, the next team enters.  Winners earn a point, losers lose all their points.  The match continues until a team wins their third point.  In the case of a 15 minute time limit draw, both teams are eliminated from the gauntlet, but retain any points they have earned.

                The winners face Jessica Kidd and Emily Nagasaki for the AWL Joshi Tag Team Championships at AWL 320.

Joshi IC Title Match Promos

                I’ve talked enough about tomorrow’s historic main event.  Now it’s time to hear from the women who will actually wrestle in this match.

                Dr. Jigoku (Speaking for the X-Drone):

      Huh?  What are you doing here?

      …

      Oh!  Right.  The title match.  I nearly forgot about that.  You want a statement?  Fine.  We’ll win.  Now go away, I have actual work to do and I find your stupidity highly distracting.

               ResuYELLOW (This message translated from the original Japanese by the AWL Translation Team):

                Dr. Jigoku may not care about this match, but WE do!  By “we” I mean both the Puro Sentai Resuranger and the entire AWL Joshi Division.  So far, we’ve been left out of the war between The Augments and the AWL.  Mainly because Jigoku’s female Augments aren’t good enough to compete with us.  Seriously, does anyone remember the last time KoroshiMACHINE won a wrestling match?

                More importantly, we all know the X-Drone’s one and only trick by now.  Copy and paste.  Well, this weekend I’m going to show Dr. Jigoku what an original can do and the IC Title is coming back to the Animated Wrestling League and I am going to defend it against ALL comers.  Male, female, and everything inbetween!
