AWL Supercard: Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis 2020

Grand Championship Promos

                Last promos before Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis and that means it’s time to turn over the blog to the champion and challenger in the AWL Grand Championship main event title match.

Dr. Jigoku: Oh you irritating plebian!  Again, you vex me during my work?!  *Ugh* Fine, I’ll give you the pointless promotional pontificating you seem so desperate for.

                This is a long term experiment.  The New Year’s Tournament was phase one.  The Golden Opportunity was phase two.  The super card with the infantile name is phase 3.  Once we take the tag team titles, all that remains is that jingoistic fool and…ugh…the female division.

                All is going according to plan.  What?  The suplex barbarian?  No, I don’t care.  He doesn’t stand a chance against my destroyer AND THAT TRAINED FIGHTING MONKEY WAS A FLUKE!!  GET OUT!!

“Suplex Master” Sammy Nix: Ya know, any title match is a big freakin deal!  But this time I’ve got tha whole AWL on my back!  I’ve been here fer all tha big threats.  Tha AOE, Yarina, Bullet Club, and now Docta Jigoku.  He’s lasted longer than any a tha others, but his day will come and it starts wid me.  Hakaisha was a good guy, but I’ve thrown him around tha ring before and I can do it again!

Joshi Division Promos

                Starting today we have a series of comments from the major players at Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis.  We begin with the AWL Joshi Division.  First, the champion and challenger in the AWL Joshi Championship Match:

Dragoness:

                I’m sorry.  It’s been nearly half a season and this is the first time I’m defending the AWL Joshi Championship.  I could blame the AWL Commissioner, the rest of the division, my tag team matches, or any number of other people.  But this is my fault.  If I win this match, you have my word that it won’t be another 2 months before I defend it again.

                ResuPINK, this isn’t going to be a personal blood feud or a grudge match.  I resect you and all the Purosentai Resurangers.  But I’m going to beat you because I can’t let my title reign end like this.

ResuPINK:

                We have nothing but respect for you and your family as well.   We know that The Augments are coming for all the AWL Titles and it’s our duty to protect the AWL from the forces of evil.  My team mates still have three Golden Opportunities, but I have to take that title to protect it and the entire Animated Wrestling League.

Ryusensei here again.  The AWL Joshi Championship Match is not the only match to showcase the division on this Supercard.  One of the biggest feuds in all of the Animated Wrestling League has been the rivalry between The Mistress of 1000 Holds vs. “Lady Smooth” Jessica Kidd.  While titles have changed hands between them and there have been wins and losses in tag team and handicap matches, there has NEVER been a clear decision between them one on one.  That WILL change this weekend at SMWG because they will have 30 minutes to settle things in the first ever AWL Iron Woman Match!  We got comments from both wrestlers as they were training for this colossal fight.

Jessica Kidd:

                I don’t think anyone can understand how embarrassing it was to go 5 rounds with Akira Merune and not even find a single fall.  My dad was one of the last guys practicing the traditional style of British wrestling.  He trained me from basically as soon as I could walk so I could carry on the tradition in a world where the best British wrestlers in the world are wrestling American style matches.  They’re killing it, but they’re playing someone else’s game.

                This weekend, I have the chance to get some of my own back.  An Iron Woman Match is not that different from a World of Sport Match.  It’s basically 6 rounds without rest periods.  Akira-senshu has only ever wrestled one fall matches and none of her title defenses have ever gone anywhere near the 30 minute mark.  I’m better trained for this and that’s why I will win!

Akira Merune:

                I admit.  I don’t like losing.  Losing the AWL Joshi Championship was the worst day of my life and losing the tag team titles not once but twice, and the second time in our first title defense made me angry at myself.  But there’s one thing we have in common, we both left that World of Sport Match unsatisfied.  This weekend, let’s finish this!

HUGE Match Signed for Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis (We mean it this time)

                 I completely understand if you don’t trust me after last week’s debacle, but this time I mean it when I say a huge match.  At least in terms of time.

Akira Merune vs. Jessica Kidd

30 Minute Iron Woman Match!

                

                While we have had Iron Man Matches in the past, this will be the first Iron Woman Match in AWL History.  The rules are simple.  Pinfall, submission, ring out, and DQ score points.  Most points at the end of 30 minutes wins.  This match will count as ONE victory in the ALW Win-Loss Records.  Otherwise things could become even more skewed than they already are.

                That means the card for Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis currently stands at:

NEXT SUPERCARD!

                The AWL Commissioner has announced the next AWL Supercard:

AWL SUPERCARD: Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis 2020!

Date: April 1^st, 2020

Place: AWL Arena

                Yep, April 1^st.  Get all the April Fool’s Day jokes out of your system now please.  Done?  Great!  No specific matches have been announced for this card, but we DO know that the AWL Grand Championship will be defended in the main event!  Expect more details to be announced over the couple of weeks. 

Full Card for AWL Supercard: Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis 2019!

                The first of two spring Supercards (and the last of the Heisei Era) is just a week and a half away.  Not only will three championships be on the line, but a MASSIVE Lucha de Apuestas will change the landscape of the AWL one way or another.

AWL Supercard: Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis 2019!

MAIN EVENT

Ganba Hisshi Dark (C) vs. Sammy Nix (#1)

AWL Grand Championship Match

1^st Title Defense

                The Demon from The Pit has taken control of the AWL Grand Championship.  The only member of the AWL Best 4 who doesn’t work for Dr. Jigoku will try and take it back.  But now that Ganba and Gisei control the most powerful prize in the AWL, what new dark powers will the former hero bring forth from the pit?

The Dorei Corps vs. Purosentai Resurangers

Lucha de Apuestas

Mascara contra Oportunidad de Oro

                You all saw the gauntlet being thrown down last weekend.  Well, the challenge has been accepted.  At Sakuramania Wrestlegenesis it will be an Atomicos ELIMINATION MATCH!  The Dorei Corps will wager their control masks against the Golden Opportunity Resu Red won in the Contractual Obligation Rumble back in January.  That means that we could get Wyvern, Hakaisha, Doombunny, and Ma-Ji-Ku back!  On the other hand, Dr. Jigoku’s forces could utterly dominate the AWL Grand Championship picture.

                By special order of the AWL Commissioner, this match will have a special 60 minute time limit.  The only mystery remaining is the line-up.  As you’ll see below, Resu Yellow already has a match in the Joshi Division and can’t compete.  That leaves only 3 male members of the team.  So, who will be the 4^th man?  Hopefully, we’ll find out at some point this week. 

Queens of Wrestling (C) vs. Purosentai Resurangers (3)

AWL Joshi Tag Team Championship Match

2^nd Title Defense

                The first ever 4 way tag team elimination match in AWL history resulting in the ultimate victory as Resu Yellow and Resu Pink picked up 3 points in 1 match.  This will be their title opportunity.  A rematch from the finals of the Joshi Tag Team Title Tournament.

Shynron (C) vs. Big Jerry

British Openweight Championship Match

World of Sport Rules

2 Falls, 2 Submissions, or a Knockout in 10 Rounds

1^st Title Defense

                The authorities over in the UK have authorized another match for the British Openweight Title on Japanese soil.  This time Big Jerry, the tag team partner of the former champion Frederick Victor, will try and bring the gold back to The Empire.  This match will be contested in 5 minute rounds.

                It’s only a week and change away.  However, AWL 271 is still coming up this weekend.  Hopefully I’ll have the card for that event tomorrow.
