AWL 353

 OK, I've been unacceptably lazy in keeping up this blog.  I'd blame my upcoming international move but you're wrestling fans and don't care about that sort of thing.  So, as AWL 360 is getting ready to start airing next week, I'm going to start catching up with back episodes.  So, here from back in the first week of May is AWL 353: GOLDEN WAR 2021!

AWL 304: Contenders and Cash-Ins

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO BE CASHED IN!

                Chaos erupted at AWL HQ today when we the following message arrived in our inboxes:

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

                When you are granted a privilege, either by your own hard work or by a fluke of chance, you have a moral duty to use that privilege to help others.  Sometimes that means helping the less fortunate and sometimes it means helping the friends who got you to where you are today.

                In that spirit, I’m cashing in my Golden Opportunity to help my partner ResuPINK become a champion.  We challenge UK Gen2 for the AWL Joshi Tag Team Championships!  Jessica, Emily, consider yourselves fairly warned.

--ResuYELLOW

                Well, that’s that then.  Normally, I would wait for confirmation from the AWL Commissioner before reporting something as important as a title match.  But the rules of the Golden Opportunity are such that the AWL Commissioner doesn’t get a voice in this one.  Therefore:

UK Gen2 (C) vs. Puro Sentai Resurangers (GO)

AWL Joshi Tag Team Championship Match

1^st Title Defense

AWL 303: Hasan vs. Akagi/NEW GOLD DEBUT

Two Title Matches Set for AWL 303

                With all the excitement around the Reshuffle Match last weekend and the AWL Commissioner’s announcement yesterday, it’s easy to forget that we have two championship matches set for this weekend’s AWL 302 event including the debut of a BRAND NEW CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!!

Hassan (C) vs. Chiba Akagi

AWL Intercontinental Championship Match

1^st Title Defense

                Hassan has privately commissioned a brand new IC title belt.  He’s been tight lipped about it and NOBODY including his Sekai-gun teammates have actually seen the thing.  All I’ve been able to pry out of him is that the new belt “Uses state of the art championship technology.”

                After last week we also have new #1 contenders for the Joshi Tag Team Championship and that match will also take place at AWL 303:

Queens of Wrestling (C) vs. UK Gen2 (3)

AWL Joshi Tag Team Championship Match

1^st Title Defense

                With the demise of The Empire, the second generation British Joshi wrestlers need this win to pick up the pieces of their careers and move forward into Season 16.  On the other hand, the Queens of Wrestling have been proven vulnerable and losing their first defense of this reign with the tag team titles would be the final nail of their status as the top two of the Joshi Division.

AWL 300: Season 15 Finale IN TOKYO DOME!

AWL SUPERCARD: Tag Matsuri 2019!

AWL 282: Queens and Machines

Main Event Title Match Announced!

Last weekend, all three of the men’s championships in the AWL were defended and two new champions were crowned.  Next weekend, it’s the women’s turn.

Queens of Wrestling (C) vs. The Augments (4)

AWL Joshi Tag Team Title Match

3^rd Title Defense

Last weekend, the Augment team of KoroshiMachine and the X-Drone won a 2 point match bringing them past the three points necessary to make a challenge for the gold.  The champions of the AWL have done a fantastic job keeping our belts out of Dr. Jikoku’s control.  With Akira Merune and Dragoness be able to keep that streak alive?  Tune in this Sunday and find out!

AWL 273: Tiger Brothers (C) vs. The Spirit Pack

Tag Matches across the gender spectrum

                It wouldn’t be the Animated Wrestling League without a tag team match or 3 and this weekend will be no exception!

Liga Cosmica (2) vs. The Augments (0)

                The recently reunited luchadores are undefeated since Estrella Dorada returned from injury.  But this weekend they face their biggest test in their journey back to the AWL World Tag Team Championships.

Yin & Yang (0) vs. Tiger & Bunny (0)

                Over in the Joshi Division, the most experienced tag team in AWL history, Yin & Yang face off against Spring Tiger and Usa-chan.  But with two of her charges set to defend the men’s tag team titles in the main event, will Spring Tiger be able to focus on her own tag team match?  Or will her duties as a manager prove too much of a distraction?

Ladies of Lucha (0) vs. Monster Union Presents: The Unholy Alliance (0)

                The two best luchadoras in the Joshi division verses the duo with the longest name in the history of tag team wrestling (but at least it’s better than “The Viking Experience”).  Two women, a werewolf, and a cat girl seek not only points in the tag team division, but victories in the overall win loss records and hopefully earn future shots at the AWL Joshi Championship.

                All this plus the AWL World’s Tag Team Titles on the line in the main event!  Tune in to AWL 273 this weekend for an incredible evening at the matches with the Animated Wrestling League!

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!!
