Animated Wrestling Inc. Tape 2 - 1997 and 1998

May 1997

This is the 1st part of tbe 2nd tape.

Like with the previous tape,All matches,for whatever reason,were never recorded on the tape.

After the intro (which is just tbe logo with some tbeme muaic),We are greeted by Commentators Amara Tenrek and Memphis,who are in a behind a desk in a small studio. Tenrek welcomes us to Animated Wrestling Inc,brought to us by PTV,Public Access Television Channel 56, in Staten Island,NY.

She then introduces herself and Memphis,before talking about todays broadcast. She then introduces the 1st match: Jarvis and Bone-Head taking on Tbe Hell-Billies.

After the (unseen) match,we are taken backstage with Zack Lawrence,who's standing by with The Grungers,Rip and Noize,2 over-the-top grunge rockers.

The next segment takes place in a boiler room,where Maniac Mick cuts a promo. He then challenges the Reaper to a Boiler Room Match.He,unlike most,doesn't fear The Grim Reaper. In fact,he Enjoys beating it up.

We then skip  another (Unseen,UnRecorded) Match and go straight to an interview with "The Ramblin' Redneck" Mike Dallas,who's wild incoherent babbling makes it very tough for anyone to understand him. He's currently feuding with Brad Heartland.

After the interview,we cut back to the Announce desk,where Tenrek talks about AWI's newest star: Cory Runner,who we get a promo from. Cory Runner's mission is to be tbe Self-Appointed Sherif of The AWI,stopping "Wrestle Crime" when it happens,in or out of the ring. He's got the Ultimate World Order especially on notice.

Next are a couple of matches..which we never get to see,since they were never recorded.

So we cut to the locker room instead,where Dexter Poindexter,who hasn't won a match since January of '96,is tired losing. So he takes out a vile of liquid,drinks it. And after shaking violently,he changes from Lord of Nerds to King of Cool.

We cut back to the desk,where Amara Tenrek and Memphis can't believe what tbey had just witnessed. The wonder how this new persona of Poindexter's will effect his chances of success?

We soon cut to static. When the static ends we get the Ultimate World Order (uWo) logo with the following message "Tbe Following Announcement has been paid for by The Ultimate World Order" We then cut to AWI Champion Broadway Malcomania and fellow uWo members,AWI TV Champion Rider Michaels,and Tag Team Champions Mack Trucker and Ray Maccio.

The uWo Members cut promos,though Malcomania sings his. After the promos are done we get tbe uWo logo again and "The Preseeding Anounceme t has been paid for by The Ultimate World Order"

After another round of static,we are taken back to the Announcers desk. Tenrek and Memphis talk about tbe uWo and their intentions to take over AWI and PTV. After that,they introduce the next match: Jungle Woman She-Na-La taking on Elle Rae Duke.

We skip that match and go straight to the backstage area,where Zack Lawrence is interviewing Mason Domination,who turns the interview into one of his overdone Black Power speeches.

We then cut back to the announce desk,where Tennoh and Memphis are talking about the upcoming Women's Battle Royal to determine the next #1 contender for The Warrior Queen's Title,hich will happen next week. We then here from a few of the pqrticipents.

We get promos from Crazy Hilbilly Elle Rae Duke,Jungle Woman She-Na La, Millitary commander Sgt.Sonya,and Berserkette,the shy woman who can turn into a rage machine when provoked.

Back at the desk,Tenrek also name drops a few other participents: Sabrina the Sorceress,Miss Tifa,former Wrestle Ranger Amy Johnson,and Big Bertha. Memphis still wonders How AWI is able to afford that many wrestlers. Tenrek chooses to ignore the question and tells everyone that Zack Lawrence is standing by with The Marsh Family

Backstage,Zack Lawrence is interviewing Swampy and Stinky,the Marsh Family. During the interview,These Nasty Bayou Backwoodsman challenge Trucker and Maccio for the Tag Titles. Another thing to note is that Stinky lives up to his name,emitting a gross stench from his body.

They are interuppted by 2 over-the-top (and a bit stereotypical) Mexican/Latino Thugs. They are Juan and Esteban,Los Super Banditos. The 2 teams eventually end up in a brawl.

Then we get another unseen match. After that we go back to the commentators desk,where it is revealed that Los Super Banditos will be fighting The Marsh Family in a #1 contenders match next week. Next we go to another match,which we never get to see,so instead we cut to AWI Womens Champion,The Warrior Queen,a Xena Expy,cutting a promo.

Back at the desk,Tenrek introduces the next match: The New Wrestle Rangers Selwyn and Roger taking on The Cartoon Maniacs.

With the match cut from the tape,We jump to the backstage area where The Reaper is cutting a promo. The Reaper accepts Maniac Mick's Challenge.

Back at the Announcers desk,Tenrek and Memphis chat a bit before introducing the shows Main Event: Brad Heartland going one-on-one with One half of the Tag Champions,the uWo's Mack Trucker.

Match ommited from the recording.....as usual.

We cut back to the Announce desk,where Tenrek closes out the show. Soon the tape transitions to a September 1998 show.

This is the 2nd part of the 2nd tape.

After the intro (which is just tbe logo with some tbeme muaic),We are greeted by Commentators Amara Tenrek and Ralph Woodman,who are in a behind a desk in a small studio. Tenrek welcomes us to Animated Wrestling Inc.

Phil the producer comes in an hands Tenrek a note. Tenrek reads the note and is surprised at what it says. Apparently,according to the note,This will be AWI's final show. PTV executives have decided to pull the plug. The reason: Costs. However,the note Does say that they can finish up the day. The talk about Summer Sizziler '98,which happened a few weeks ago. The Ramblin' Redneck Mike Dallas successfuly defended his AWI championship against the man we are about to hear from.

"Roidenator" Haim Einsteiner cuts a promo raging against his AWI Title match loss at Summer Sizzler '98. He even makes threats to The Rablin' Redneck himself.

Val Lei arrives and tries to seduce Einstiener,however he's in no mood to have fun with hoochies and leaves. Dejected,Val Lei is about to leave to find another man,however the lights flash on and off and once they return,The Horror Wrestler Damnation appears and is about to strike her (from her perspective). The lights go out just before Val is attacked. An evil laugh can be heard along with a demonic voice saying "You're Next,Reaper!"

Back at the desk,Tenrek and talk about Damnation and his victims. They then talk about how "Vampire Pimp" Poppa Pimpula and Maniac Mick were his last 2 victims. Who and When this Monater will strike next is forever unknown.

The 2 commentators switch gears by taking us to the first match: The Womanizers taking on The Hell-billies.

The match has been ommited from the tape,so we transition back to the desk. Tenrek and Woodman chat qbout the cancelation of tbe show. They then get a visit from Chip and Lan,The Online Express,who are also tbe New AWI Tag Champions,winning them from The uWo's Mack Trucker and The Wise Guy at Summer Sizzler '98.

Scotty and Perry,Extreme X,arrive to challenge for the Tag Titles. The Online Express accept tbe challenge and are assaulted by Extreme X. Extreme X Power Bombs the Express through the Announce Table,thankfully Tenrek and Woodman have moved out of tbe way. Tenrek tells the producer to go to the next match.

No Matches on this Tape,so we cut to Tenrek and Woodman,who are now juat sitting in chairs,the broken table removed. After talking about the altercation between Xtreme X and the Online Express,they talk about the Main Event, a Triple Threat Match for the AWI Women's Championship. Champion The Warrior Queen faces off against Bloody Mary-Anne and Koria. We then get promos from all 3 participents (which were thankfully,recorded on the tape)

After the Promos,Tenrek introduces tbe next match: Elle Rae Duke squaring off againat Berzerkette.

After that (untapped) match,Woodman reports that Extreme X will indeed face off against The Online Express for the Titles later today in the Penultimate Match.

We then get a vignette from The Sailor Team,4 Sailor Suited fighters of Love and Justice.

Back to Tenrek and Woodman,who are talking to each other a bit. They also mention that it's a shame that it's too late for The Sailor Team to debut,since this is the Final Show.

Once that's all finished They take us to another (recorded) match. This one has "The Missile Wayne Heartland taking on uWo's Rider Michaels.

In the locker room,we see "Roidenator" Haim Einstiener popping Steroid Pills (called power pills) to get stronger. He is attacked by The Completely Unintelligable,"Ragin' Redneck" Mike Dallas.

Back to the commentators,Tenrek introduces the Penultimate match for the AWI Tag Titles,as The Online Express puts their Titles on the line againat Extreme X.

We skip to the Commentators. After talking to each other a bit,they introduce the Main Event: A Triple Threat Match for the AWI Women's Title.

Finally we cut back to the Commentators,where Tenrek closes out the show. She thanks Everyone who's been watching them and hope that AWI left everyone with some good memories.

After Woodman and Tenrek say their goodbyes and give thanks go the fans,we get the credits. We then fade to black. After that the tape is stopped manually.
