Champions' Showcase and some corrections

Before I begin this news post, I must apologize for two MASSIVE errors I made during last weekend’s broadcast.  First, Liga Cosmica actually had 1 point going into their match with Team Victory at AWL 226.  It was incorrectly reported that they had zero.  Of course, since they lost the match they now actually have zero points, but that doesn’t excuse the mistake.  Second, I was wrong about the AWL Best 4.  The AWL Rule Book clearly states that, when there’s more than one vacancy, whoever enters the Best 4 first takes the higher rank.  Therefore, Bigfoot is #3 and Project 2.0 is #4.  I apologize and regret both errors.  I will do everything in my power to keep this from happening again.  Now, on with the news…

               The Augments have lost the AWL IC Championship!!  In other good news, the AWL Commissioner has announced that there will be a Champion’s Showcase Match at AWL 227:

Destroyers of DOOM! (Grand & IC Champions) (1) vs. T49P (World Tag Team Champions)
Champion’s Showcase
Points in Play

                Yes, the once and current Golden Duo have one point towards title contention, so the AWL World’s Tag Team Champions will have the chance to eliminate a possible set of challengers.  On the other hand, if either member of T49P pins a singles champion, they automatically put themselves in that title picture.

                In other news, Ganba lost last weekend.  Last week on 
this very blog, Dr. Jigoku promised a new Augment would debut 
in these exact circumstances.  We’re waiting for conformation of that match.  Please stay tuned.

Here we go!

                The 2018 New Year’s Tournament is in the history books and it’s time to return to ordinary business for the Animated Wrestling League.  Season 12 of the AWL will begin with what we are considering a “jumping on point” that will introduce you to some of our wrestlers, our rules system, and some of our traditions.

                One of those traditions will be on display in the main event: The Champion’s Showcase!  Traditionally, The Champion’s Showcase is when the AWL Grand Champion and Intercontinental Champion team up against the AWL World’s Tag Team Champions.

                There’s just one problem…we don’t currently have an IC champion.  So, the AWL Commissioner has booked something he calls “The Ultimate Champion’s Showcase” as the main event of AWL 221.

                It will be a trios match pitting the AWL Grand Champion HAKAISHA! AND the AWL World’s Tag Team Champions T49P against three champions from friends of the AWL…New Japan Pro Wrestling! 

The still reigning IWGP Heavyweight Champion shall team up with two men making their AWL Debuts.  First, fellow member of Chaos and reigning IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion, “The Aerial Assassin” Will Osprey will bring his internet breaking style of highflying wrestling to the AWL.  Second, and I admit I’m burying the lead a bit here, the reigning IWGP Intercontinental Champion, the Ace of New Japan, the once in a century talent, Tanahashi Hiroshi!!  The champions of the AWL versus the past present and future of New Japan!  It all happens this Sunday morning Japan time at the AWL Arena in Tokyo.
