Now that the lost footage of Animated Wrestling Inc. has been unearthed...let's share it,shall we.
--------------------------------------------
The First Tape Found.
June - 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 Zack Lawrence,who's standing by with The AWI Champion,Mack Trucker,who's set to defend his title against Rider "the Ride" Michaels in 2 weeks at AWI Summer Spectacular,Summer Sizzler.
After the interview,we cut back to the Announce desk,where Tenrek talks more about Summer Sizzler and then gives tbe date and time: Live! Sunday,July 9th. at 6pm.
We then quickly cut back to the interviewing area with Mack Trucker and Zack Lawrence. Mack asks why he isn't getting paid more,he's the champ? Zack plainly tells him the answer: "You're just not that big of a draw!"
We cut back to the desk,where Memphis talks about another match slated for Summer Sizzler '95: Nashville will put his TV Championship on the line against "The Wise Guy" Ray Maccio.
We soon cut to a backstage area,where TV Champion,Nashville gloats about how he's the greatest TV Champion of all time and how he easily beat The Wise Guy before,so Summer Sizziler isn't gonna be any different. After Nashville sings his own prases some more,we cut to another part of the backstage area with "The Wise Guy" Ray Maccio.
Maccio claims that the only reason why Nashville defeated him,was because he had Brian Armstrong and his brothers bused in from Tennessee to beat him up weeks before their last encounter. But promises that this time Nashville's Southern Wrestling Connections Won't help him this time.
After Maccio lays a verbal "Wise Guy" smackdown on Nashville,we cut back to Memphis and Tenrek. Memphis admits that because they're on a budget..a tight budget,they can't affort Great Creative,so they "borrow" gimmicks,storylines,and rivalry ideas from other Wrestling Companies and TV Shows..though they Do modify them a bit. Tenrek introduces the first match of the show: "The Missile" Wayne Heartland going up against Axel Grease.
We then cut back to the announce desk. Unusually,the Matches were cut from the tapes. Why? Who knows! Maybe it had something to do with the recording time. I dunno. Only the Interviews and the bits with the Commentators were archived.
Anyway,Back to Tennoh and Memphis at the Commentators Desk. After talking about the previous match they then talk about another match that will be at Summer Sizzler '95: For the AWI Tag Team championship,Challengers,resident Beavis and Butt-head expies,Jarvis and Bone-Head taking on the Champions,Club Sonic,Tommy and Eric.
Wacky Promos from Both the Champions and the Challengers.
After those are done,we get another unseen match. After that we get a vignette from Shoto,a newcommer that is an over-the-top rip-off of Ryu from street fighter,despite tne vignette constantly saying otherwise. At the end "Totally NOT a Rip-Off of Ryu!" appears on screen.
After that we go back to the commentators desk. Memphis questions whether or not tbey'll be sued by Capcom if tbey bring Shoto here? Tenrek replies that they're a Public Access show limited to only Staten Island,so the chances of Capcom knowing about Shoto are extremely slim. Same with the other companies who's characters they've ripped off.
They then talk about the Women's title match that will be happening at Summer Sizzler '95. As Champion,Sgt. Sonya takes on Big Bertha.
We then cut to Big Bertha in the backstage area making threats to Sgt.Sonya. We then switch to another backstage area with Sgt. Sonya giving her rebuttle. She also promices to make their match "A Total Bootcamp From Hell"
We tben get 2 more matches that were edited out of this tape. But soon after The Wrestle Rangers cut a promo.
Back at the desk,Memphis talks about his upcoming match against his #1 archnemesis,the guy who "burns his peanut butter and banana sandwiches",Brad "Sane Man"Heartland.
We cut to the backstage area where Heartland is being interviewd by Zack Lawrence. Heartland is always embarassed to take on overly cartoony wrestlers,such as Memphis,who he hopes will be their final encounter. He then challenges the winner of the AWI Championship match to a Title Match.
Back at the Announcers desk,Memphis is furious over Heartland's comments and threatens him,all while doing a dance that Elvis Presley used to do. Tenrek tells her fellow commentator to coo, it,before she knocks him down. After Memphis calms himself,Tenrek reveals another match for Summer Sizzler '95. "The Real Canadian" Danny Lund will go one-on-one with his friend,Flex Howitzer.
Backstage,Both men are being interviewed by Zack Lawrence. Both promise a fun and fair match and that after the match,their friendship will remain strong.
Back at the desk,Both Tenrek and Memphis talk about the Howitzer/Lund match and question whether or not their friendship will ever be the same after it. They then talk about the Summer Sizzler Battle Royal,for the right to challenge for the Television Title sometime next month.
We cut to various promos from some of the participents. We have: DJ Cool Clarence and The Freshest King,"The Missile" Wayne Heartland,Axel Grease,Sho Gunn,The Double Dreggs (slash and ozzy),Dexter "The Nerd" Poindexter,Presto the Magician,and The Reaper.
Back at the desk,Amara Tenrek namedrops some other guys who will be in this Battle Royal; Austin,Walter,and Dave of the Wrestle Rangers,Shoto,and the Sumoan. Memphis questions how the company can afford so many people on such a low budget? Tenrek ignores the question and introduces the Main Event: The Sumoan going head to head against Dexter Poindexter.
We cut straight to The final promo of the show. Fonzie Expy,Rider Michaels cuts one about his Championship Match against Mack Trucker.
Finally we cut back to the Announce desk,where Tenrek closes out the show.
We then Hyperjump to the week after Summer Sizzler '95.
July - After the Intro,Amara Tentrek and Memphis greet us at the Commentators Desk. They talk about the events of Summer Sizzler '95,which happened last weekend. Memphis tells her to shut up,cuz he doesn't wanna hear about it. Tenrek tells us anyway: Dexter Poindexter miraculously won the Summer Sizzler Battle Royal. Jarvis and Bone-Head defeat Club Sonic to retain their Tag Titles. "The Wise Guy" Ray Maccio defeated Nashville to become the New TV Champion. Sgt.Sonya dispatched Big Bertha to retain the Women's championship. Memphis got the whooping of the year by "Sane Man" Brad Heartland. Chaos errupted after Flex Howitzer defeated,his now ex-friend,"The Real Canadian" Danny Lund. And Mack Trucker retains His World Championship against Rider Michaels in a close contest.
We then go to the interview area,where Zack Lawrence is with Flex Howitzer. In the interview Howitzer reveals that he betrayed Lund soley because he realized that he was "Too Perfect" to be Lund's friend and Too American to accociate with a Canadian..or Any Foreigner fot that matter. He then starts talking about his "Perfect" Body.
Back at the desk,Tenrek calls Howitzer disgusting,but Memphis disagrees with her and praises Howitzer. After that arguement,the duo introduces the 1st match: Austin and Walter of the Wrestle Rangers going up against DJ Cool Clarence and The Freshest King.
Again. No Matches Are Shown!
After the match,We then go to the backstage area where "The Real Canadian" is cutting his post-Summer Sizzler promo,vowing to destroy Flex Howitzer.
We then get a backstage interview with Dexter Poindexter,the winner of the Summer Sizzler Battle Royal.
Next up,another couple of Untaped Matches.
Back at the announce desk,Tenrek and Memphis comment on the previous match,get interupted by a furious Nashville,and take us to an interview with Brad Heartland,who wants his Title Oppertunity for tbe World Championship.
After we retjrn to the desk,Nashville is gone and so is Memphis. Tenrek explains her missing partner by telling everyone that Both He and Nashville have decided to huntdown and destroy "The Wise Guy" Ray Maccio for tbe sake of "Tennessee Pride". She is joined by Zack Lawrence.
We cut to a backstage promo by Ray Maccio. During the promo,He is assaulted by both Memphis and Nashville. But from out of nowhere,AWI Champion Mack Trucker comes to "The Wise Guys" aide.
Backstage promo by Rider Michaels,who wants a rematch for the Championship. But wants to make it a Jacket for Title Match. He's willing to give up his precious Leather Jacket against Mack Trucker's Gold. However,he is met with opposition from Brad Heartland,who claims that he's next in line for a title shot. Soon the 2 have a stardown.
Back at tbe desk,Tenrek has recieved word that a #1 contenders match next week between Michaels and Heartland. The next match features The Reaper in action.
After 2 more unseen matches,Backstage both Nashville and Memphis cut a promo and in the name of "Tennessee Pride" Challange both Ray Maccio and Mack Trucker to a tag match next week. Ray and Mack cut their own promo accepting the challenge.
And Finally,we head back to the desk,where Tenrek and Lawrence tell the audience that they are out of time and askes to join them next time for some more AWI action. The credits roll and the Tape stops.
