New champion crowned in San Marino as championship tournament comes to conclusion

Ape Atomica is the new pro wrestling champion of San Marino!

Ape Atomica has emerged as the new champion of Associazone Wrestling San Marino, San Mariano’s only pro wrestling promotion, after a grueling championship tournament. In order to get there, Atomica had to outlast several other opponents between tournament qualifiers and the actual tournament field to crown a new champion after the title was declared vacant.

In the most recent episode of AWS Titani Del Wrestling, the tournament semifinals and finals were contested. First in the semifinals, Ape Atomica beat El Gringo, one half of the AWS Tag Team Champions, by successfully executing some high flying offense and using it to take out the interfering Alex Sheridan, Gringo’s partner, multiple times. Sheridan and Gringo would jump Ape Atomica after the match, leaving his health in question for the championship final.

In the other semifinal, Erik Wulfkar and Shock would meet. Wulfkar had a distinct strength advantage that he displayed early and often. Shock was able to fight back after taking advantage of his athleticism advantage and took to the sky, winning the match with a top rope moonsault.

In the tournament final, Ape Atomica faced off with Shock. Atomica was clearly in some discomfort coming out to the ring from the previous attack, putting his high flying offense in jeopardy. For this reason, he started out with some ground offense before Shock eventually took control and focused much of his offense on Ape Atomica’s injured left leg. Ape Atomica gutted it out though and soon took to the sky, hitting an athletic twisting dive to the outside that led to both wrestlers struggling to answer a count out. A standing strike battle would follow which Shock got the best of, leading to Shock going for the same moonsault that won him his semi-final match. However, Shock landed on Ape Atomica’s knees, injuring both wrestlers in the process. A standing Spanish fly from Ape Atomica would follow and lead to an extremely close near fall. After some back and forth, Ape Atomica was able to hit a spinning split legged moonsault and came out on top after a hard fought battle to become new AWS Champion.
