TNT REGAINS AWF AUSTRALASIAN TITLE DEFEATING RAVEN IN
PALMERSTON NOTH, NEW ZEALAND !!! |
 TNT ended Raven's 7 day reign as AWF Australasian Champion on Friday 18th April after the grueling bout ended with a TNT low blow followed by "The Detonator" for the title change.
After the bout Raven DDT'ed TNT to the crowds delight, but TNT was still the victor, leaving NZ with the Australasian Championship.
TNT commented "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Saa! Saa! Saaa! I was ripped off for my championship in Penrith, Australia, so I travelled to New Zealand and I beat that whiney American and took back what was mine. You see that's what I do. I represent Australia, I hold Championships, and I take names. Raven's down, and now it's on to Hilton. It's Detonation time for you, and at Blacktown you better join the Detonation Crew, or I will be coming for you. Saaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!"

| DETONATION CREW FORMS |
After successfully defending the AWF Australasian Championship against Steve Ravenous at Blacktown on 19 January with assistance from a well orchestrated counter to the Platinum Players in the form of Powerhouse Theo, Billy Flyswat and Chris X, TNT announced that he had had enough, and was forming an alliance with his friends that would be called "The Detonation Crew". TNT stated that the new groups immediate objective will be to restore the balance of power in the AWF and put a stop to the Players sneak attacks. It will be interesting to see how this unit develops and operates, as all are good friends and have worked well when together. Be sure to be at upcoming AWF events to see the debut of the Detonation Crew as a foursome. |
| JAY LAW WINS AWF YOUNG LIONS CHAMPIONSHIP ! |
 Jay Law ended Powerhouse Theo's 10 month strong reign as AWF Young Lion's Champion at Blacktown RSL on 19 January, to become the first ever 2 time Young Lion's Champion.
The outcome was not without controversey though, as The Platinum Players interjected themselves into the match, leading to Steve Ravenous clocking Theo with a pair of hand cuffs leading to the Law Enforcement slam and title change.
An enraged Theo perhaps cost Steve Ravenous the AWF Title later in the card as he asserted himself into the TNT Vs Ravenous main event. AWF congratulates Theo on a successful reign as Young Lion's Champion and wishes Jay Law success as the new Champion. Law's first title defence will be in Wellington, New Zealand against JC Starr. |
