AWL 109: Squire of Trios!

AWL 109: Squire of Trios! by AWLBoss

The first and probably last Squires of Trios.  Also, the tournament that matters, the AWL World Championship Tournament Round of 16 continues tonight as Hassan faces one half of the AWL World Tag Team Champions.....DRAGON!

It's official, we're rip off artists now!

I think the AWL Commissioner is having an off week.  At least I hope that's what's going on here.  If not, we're in big trouble.  This weekend the AWL will perform it's most blatant rip off ever.  Because this weekend the Animated Wrestling League will present the first ever.....Squire of Trios Tournament!!

I can't believe I just wrote that.

Yes, a shameless rip off of the King of Trios Tournament.  Yes, we feel terrible.

But it should be an interesting evening none the less.  4 trios will compete, each will be made p of an established Tag Team plus one singles wrestler.  The teams are:

1. The Canadian Classics (Kid Canada, Sammy Nix, Lee Masters)

2. Bullet Club and 田中健一 (A.J. Styles, Bad Luck Fale, THUGLIFE 田中健一)

3. Team USA (American Beetle, Hassan, "Peacemaker" Luke James)

4. Los Voladores (Ma-Ji-Ku, El Santo Azul, DOOMBUNNY!)

Some interesting teams that are sure to provide us with some fantastic matches.  Plus, in the main event, we will have the 7th match in the Round of 16 of the AWL Championship Tournament:

MAIN EVENT

Dragon vs. Hassan

One half of the reigning AWL World Tag Team Champions vs. a man who will also compete in the Squire of Trios Tournament.  It could be a VERY long night for Hassan, but "Upset" has been the name of the game all season long in this tournament so it's all to play for at AWL 109!

AWL Mid-Week Wrestling 108.5

AWL 108 fall out

As a result of the events of AWL 108, 黒山(Kuroyama) has been released from his AWL contract.  We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

Similarly, since both Super Giant & Jack Butcher are still part of this company, they will be allowed to remain as a tag team and they still have 2 points.  They will receive a chance to get a third point tomorrow at AWL Mid-Week Wrestling 108.5.  After the amazing match Jack Butcher had with HAKAISHA, the AWL Commissioner wants to see that pairing again and so do I.  Therefore the following match has been booked:

Crisis Gundan (2) vs. HAKAISHA! & DOOMBUNNY (1)

Points on the line

Remember, The Japanese Destroyer and the DOOMBUNNY earned a point against the Bullet Club a few weeks ago when when HAKAISHA! was assigned to help the man from the Strawberry Patch get his revenge on A.J. Styles after the 104 screwjob.

Mid-Week Wrestling will be posted in less than 24 hours!  I'm sure you wait with baited breath.

Lastly a little out of continuity news: I will be attending TNA/Wrestle-1's Bound for Glory show in Tokyo this Sunday.  Stay tuned for a review of the show after the fact (this may be in text or video format, unsure at the moment).

2 More Matches for AWL 108

Late breaking news tonight, 2 more matches confirmed for AWL 108:

"Big" Ben Nelson vs. Wrestler X

In the main event, the AWL Championship Tournament will continue as the Battling British Bar Brawler "Big" Ben Nelson will face the King of Copyright Infringement Wrestler X in the 6th match in the Round of 16 as we make our way to AWL 120 and the crowning of a NEW AWL World Heavyweight Champion.

The Masters of the Mask (2) vs. The All Americans (0)

In tag team action, two of the best luchadores in the world today will go for their 3rd point toward title contention.  But standing in the way are two of the most American Americans in the history of professional wrestling, American Beetle and Hassan!  The All Americans have been floundering in the tag team division as of late so this is a huge chance to not only net themselves a point, but to deny Ma-Ji-Ku & El Santo Azul a title shot.

It all goes down in less that 12 hours at AWL 108!

Who will fight who?

As you all know, AWL 108 will be dedicated mostly to the Batsu Matches that will determine the fates of the remaining members of Yarina Talent Management Inc.  The AWL Commissioner has finally announced who will serve as the gatekeepers to a safe return to the Animated Wrestling League:

Jack Butcher vs. HAKAISHA!

Yeah, this is going to be good!  Former tag team partners and former tag team champions clash one on one for the first time ever since HAKAISHA! was fired by Yarina back at AWL 87 last spring.  A lot of history and a lot of bad blood in this match.  And of course, for Jack Butcher, EVERYTHING is on the line.

Super Giant vs. Kid Canada

Ouch!  This is a bad draw for the World's Largest Light Heavyweight.  Kid Canada has been on a roll this season and is the man who eliminated Wonder Kid from the AWL Championship Tournament.  Super Giant may be a genetically gifted monster, but he's facing one of the best trained wrestlers in the world today.  This is going to be an interesting clash of styles.

黒山 vs. ガンバ

The Japanese Mega Star vs. The Black Mountain.  Again, I must complement the AWL Commissioner (and not just because he signs my paycheck) for this match up.  Kuroyama has made a career of attacking people from behind and other forms of dishonorable conduct.  If there's any other wrestler on the roster who can better correct this sort of thing in a younger wrestler, I have no idea who it might be.  It's the great Japanese athletic tradition vs. an dishonorable d**k at AWL 108!

There will be more news coming in the following days.  Until then, stay safe and continue to support independent and virtual wrestling!
