DDS Promos

It's interview time! First up is the newest member of the AWL Roster, George Fraiser. Mr. Fraiser competed in the Dragon Debut Series where he was defeated by Dragon following his Tail of the Dragon Armdrag after Dragon caught Mr. Fraiser while he was posing for the fans. I caught up to Mr. Fraiser and asked him about his AWL debut match:

TOTAL NONSENSE! I won that match!! Dragon was knocked completely out of the ring. Even if that isn't considered a win, I clearly won the round on points. I need to have a serious conversation with the judges around here. Where are they anyway?

You need to have a long conversation with somebody buddy. Preferably the trainers back at the AWL Dojo.

Speaking of the Dragon Debut Series, we have something unusual this week. We're actually going to find out the name of the debuting wrestler before the match starts. For more I turn it over to Sammy Nix of the New Classics:

“The New Classics" huh? That name has never been more appropriate. This day has been a long time coming. This weekend the Dragon Debut Series will feature.....Matt Classic Jr.!

Yeah, Matt's son is getting into wrestling. As a favor to Matt, Lee and I have been training him at the Dojo for about 6 months now. The kid's a natural and we think he's ready to play with the big boys. This Dragon Debut Series thing is a perfect chance.

And yes folks, that's official:

Dragon vs. Matt Classic Jr.

Dragon Debut Series Match

Tune in this weekend for all the action!

This week's address.

Two points today: First, no news from WWE on the IC Title situation. Second, the boss has delivered his weekly address for you reading pleasure.

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. I am the AWL Commissioner.

First of all, let me tell you how proud I am of Hassan for fighting through a still injured ankle and becoming the first AWL Wrestler to win a WWE championship.

Now the show must go on and I have COMMISSIONED!!! The following matches for AWL 137:

Main Event:

HAKAISHA! (C) vs. Ganba

AWL World Heavyweight Championship Match

5th Title Defense

After coming so close to injuring Kid Canada last week, HAKAISHA has asked for another title match this week so that he may "prove himself" in the eyes of the AWL Fans. While I feel he has nought to prove to anybody, I would be lax in my duties if I refused to allow a healthy wrestler to wrestle. So the match is on.

Jack Butcher & Wonder Kid vs. Ma-Ji-Ku and "Big" Ben Nelson

Fight for 3 and 4.

There are currently 2 open slots in the AWL Best 4 and by the end of AWL 137 there shall be a third. This is unacceptable! Therefore we will use a unique method of determining contenders. This tag team match consists of the 4 of top ranked AWL Wrestlers in terms of win-loss records. The winners of this match enter the Best 4 and will fight each other later in the same evening to determine who gets the #3 position.

Finally, there will be another match between two AWL Wrestlers in the Danger Zone and the Dragon Debut Series shall continue.

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

--XOXO AWL Commissioner

What the hell just happened?

I know exactly what you want to read about today. What the hell happened at the end of AWL 136? Well, I'm going to bury the lead on that and first cover the condition of Kid Canada.

During the scheduled main event of AWL 136, HAKAISHA delivered his signature triple power bomb to Kid Canada. During this manuver, Kid Canada's head bounced off the middle rope in a dangerous way. Concerns were immediatly raised regarding the health of the Most Candian Man in the World.

Well, I have good news. AWL CMO Dr. Mark Feelgood has checked KC out and found neither concussion nor neck damage. He's fine and has been cleared for competition.

But now for the real reason you're probably all here: No. You didn't imagine it. Yes. It really happened. Yes. The AWL's own Hassan is now the WWE Intercontinental Champion!! "But how is that possible?" I hear you ask. Well, it's actually fairly simple:

1. Daniel Bryan loses the IC Title to Vacant on the 5-11-2015 episode of WWE Monday Night RAW.

2. Vacant is currently under an AWL Contract and therefore can defend the title on AWL shows.

3. The AWL Commissioner contacts Hassan (who is further ahead on his rehab than previously reported and just last week got his visa renewed) to give him the opportunity to fight for the gold.

4. Hassan accepts and the match is on.

5. Hassan wins, the title changes hands.

That brings us up to the present. Vacant WAS scheduled to defend the IC Title in an Elimination Chamber Match in two weeks on the WWE Network (available now for an undisclosed amount of money). It remains to be seen how WWE will address the issue of the new champion. Since the IC Title was treated as still belonging to Vacant on the most recent episode of RAW, we assume they are trying to ignore us. Even going so far as to pass off a duplicate belt for the real one. As of this writing, the Animated Wrestling League recognizes Hassan as the WWE Intercontinental Champion. Please stay tuned for more updates as this on going story unfolds.

AWL 136: HAKAISHA! vs, Kid Canada

AWL 136: Watch till the end. 投稿者 AWLBoss

I some how left an old graphic in the video track so there's something weird in the first 3 or so seconds.  Please ignore this and watch until the end of the show.  Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Updates and such.

Another week, another update. First of all, the Danger Zone:

Wrestler	Win	Loss	Total	as of AWL 135
American Beetle	30	-40	-10
El Rudo Rojo	24	-34	-10	AWL World Light Heavyweight Champion
Jon Shina	0	-10	-10
Joe Obber	0	-8	-8
Tiger Mask II	25	-32	-7

Last week Curry Man won a match to save himself and Tiger Mask II lost a match to send him tumbling into the zone. This weekend, Tiger Mask will try to save himself as he faces American Beetle one on one. However, if the All American Insect loses, he will be mathematically LOCKED in the Danger Zone and will have no choice but to compete in Batsumania. So it's all to play for tomorrow at AWL 136!

One last thing before I wrap up the blog posts for the week, I wanted to give you the official list of injured AWL Wrestlers. This is all according to our medical staff and has been approved for release by AWL Senior Physician Dr. Mark Feelgood as of May 16th, 2015.

Name: Estimated time to recovery:

Ganba. Cleared to compete.

Prince Puma. 1 week (Observation).

Yamada Jiro. 6 to 8 weeks.

Hassan. 4 to 6 weeks.

For those of you keeping score at home, Ganba and Prince Puma were injured by Bullet Club, Jiro was taken out by The Augments, and Hassan was injured in training at the AWL Dojo. We wish them all a speedy recovery.

Tag Team Promos

Normally we have comments from both champion and challenger in a world title match, but this time we've decided to do something a little different. I'm going to be doing live interviews with both men during this weekend's show. So please look forward to that. Today we have some comments from the two teams that will be involved in this weekend's tag team grudge match.

First, Bullet Club:

HA! Another fool gets in our way, another fool goes down. Welcome to the injured list pussy cat. That's what happens to anyone stupid enough to cross Bullet Club.

So this week we get Luke James and what'shisname? Gamma? Grandma? Grammar? Whatever. It doesn't matter. We beat them before and we'll beat them again. And guess what, we don7t give a crap about this Grudge Match thing. No DQ? No Count Outs? Perfect! That's right up our alley. So come to the AWL Arena this weekend if you want to see what western tactics are all about!!

Too Sweeeeeeeet!!

Jerks. Anyway, we also have some words from the AWL All Stars, specifically from Luke James:

Listen up Bullet Club. Ya'll have been running wild around the AWL for nearly a year now. Cheating to win matches, attacking people from behind, and hurting people. 2 on 1, 3 on 1, it's never a fair fight with you cowards. Well guess what, and I speak for pretty much the entire roster here, we're sick of it. So bring all the cheating tactics you like (and we'll could talk about that whole "Western" thing too) this Sunday because it's not gonna do you any good. With the Japanese Megastar by my side, the Peacemaker is going to war!

Grudge Match Rules

Just a quick explanatory note today. You may have noticed that the AWL 136 card announced yesterday includes the words "Grudge Match." Well, the AWL Commissioner has decided to better define that term. Here now are the rules to an AWL Grudge Match

1. One fall, submission, or KO to decide the winner.

2. No DQ.

3. No Count Outs (Falls valid in-ring only).

4. All Grudge Matches will be officiated by Freshman Official Daiki Babaghanoush. Official is authorized to get physically involved in the match at his discretion.

5. No points or rank may be awarded for grudge matches (Wins and losses are still recorded).

There you have it. The first match under the new Grudge Match Rules will be this weekend's bout between the AWL All Stars and Bullet Club.
