Joint Statement
This
has never happened before in the history of the AWL. Two opponents
in a world title match have issued a joint statement for the
wrestling press less than 24 hours before their match:
For
over a week now people have been speculating that when we face each
other at AWL 155, we are going to "implode" or that one of
us will "swerve" the other and that this will turn into
some big dramatic B.S.
Well,
we hate to disappoint you. That is simply not going to happen. Yes,
tomorrow two best friends are going to step into a 20 by 20 foot
wrestling ring and we are going to have a wrestling match. One of us
is going to walk out of The AWL Arena as AWL World's Heavyweight
Champion.
And
that's AWESOME! Why on earth would either one of us want to ruin the
chance to main event an AWL card and become the heavyweight champion
of the world? We want to see which of us is the best wrestler and
we'll never find that out unless we both go at it full force in the
ring. Fair and square, no B.S., no "turns," no "screw
jobs."
We
owe that to each other as friends. We owe that to the AWL fans as
paying customers. We owe it to the AWL World's Heavyweight
Championship itself! That prize that every single man in this
locker room wakes up fighting for and falls asleep dreaming about.
Tomorrow
at AWL 155, you are going to see a great wrestling match. Enjoy it.

& Luke James.

Full Card for AWL 155
OK
people, the full card has been announced for AWL 155. It's mostly

I promised surprises, didn't I?
The IWGP Heavyweight Champion will be in action this weekend. The
brothers and former tag team partners Azul and Rojo will be across
the ring from each other but this time they will each have to team
with a wrestler who has NEVER won a sacntioned match in their
careers. It should be...Interesting.

Karma is a *****!
This
just in from the AWL Commissioner's office. Last Sunday, Chiba Akagi
was attacked by Bullet Club after his match. He has sustained two
cracked ribs and is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Obviously,
there will be consequences. First, Bullet Club has been fined
100,000円 each. Second,
they will not be paid for this weekend (and if they decide to no show
again, the AWL will sue them for breach of contract) Lastly, since
The New Classics stepped up last weekend, they will be given the
chance to do so in an official capacity:
For
AWL 155:
Bullet
Club vs. The New Classics
Trios
Match
The
AWL Commissioner has elected to not put out an official address this
week. But I will be back tomorrow with the full card for AWL 155!

Additionally,
both DOOMBUNNY and "The Peacemaker" Luke James have been
bouncing in and out of the Danger Zone over the past couple of weeks.
It is important to note, with 5 victories needed to elevate the last
place wrestler out of the zone, nobody is mathematically locked yet.
But given the histories of Jon Shina and E.N. Hance.....let's just
say that nobody is offering good odds for those two NOT being in
Batsumania.

Match announced for AWL 160!
Following Sunday's tie breaker in the Faction Gauntlet, WWE Intercontinental
Champion Hassan has given the AWL Commissioner his choice for the
stipulation at AWL 160. Therefore the following match has been made
official:
For
AWL 160:
American
Beetle vs. Hassan vs. Yamada Jiro
Title
Recognition Match
Elimination
Rules
2
out of 3 Falls
When
asked why he chose 2 out of 3 falls, Hassan told me that in the past
that's how champions were determined so he wants the newest AWL
championship to be decided the same way. Remember, if Hassan wins,
his Intercontinental Title will be officially recognized by the
Animated Wrestling League. If Yamada Jiro wins, it will be the
Zenkoku Championship. If American Beetle wins, he will choose which
belt it will be.
More
matches for our season finale will be revealed in the coming weeks.
