PAWL

PAWL (Professional Anime Wrestling League) begun in late May of 2007. The first show to happen was a Click-Per-View event called Winner Take All. It consisted of a 20-Man Royal Rumble Match to decide the first PAWL World Champion. The superstars involved were (in no particular order): Tai Kamiya, Matt Ishida, Davis Motomiya, Michiru Kururugi, Koga, Naraku, Inuyasha, Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, Seto Kaiba, Shikamaru Nara, Kabuto Yakushi, Might Guy, Ginta Toramizu, Zelgadis Greywords, Ferio, Van Fanel, Locke Cole, Vivi Orunitia, and Kenshin Himura. Tai Kamiya won this match entering at #17, becoming the first PAWL World Champion.

The weekly show for this CAW League, Voltage, normally has anywhere between 3-5 matches, and there are normally 3 episodes of Voltage before a Click-Per-View event. The main purpose of this show is to build up storylines that are happening in the PAWL.

Like most wrestling leagues, there is a General Manager to assist with the storylines. The GM of the PAWL is Tenchi Masaki from Tenchi Muyo. Currently, Tenchi Masaki is recovering from a broken neck he suffered at Sweet Revenge, so Michiru Kururugi is filling in for him until Tenchi is 100%.

PAWL forms part of the Big 4 of Anime CAW alongside Rocket's Championship Wrestling Federation, Anime Championship Wrestling and Pride Anime Championship.
