AWF Warriors of WrestlingFirst Aired in 1995 Paul Alperstein's American Wrestling Federation attempted to become the third national professional wrestling promotion in launching a nationally syndicated one-hour weekly television show entitled "Warriors of Wrestling," on the weekend of September 21 - 22, 1996. The exclusive distributor for the 1996 series was BKS/Bates Entertainment with advertising sales handled by All-American Television, Inc. in New York. The launch of the AWF as a third major professional wrestling organization resulted from the initial test launch of "Warriors of Wrestling" as a syndicated series in spring 1995. According to Jason Robar, the 1995 series "seemed to disappear after a short period of time. The original version of the Warriors of Wrestling was filmed in a softer, film-like tone, and featured many of the current regulars in AWF. All AWF matches were contested on a round system, with non-title matches scheduled for three four-minute rounds and all championship matches scheduled for 12-round bouts. The outcome of matches which did not end in a pin fall or submission was decided by the scoring decision of AWF judges at ringside together with the referee. Despite its backing by BKS/Bates Entertainment (a television distribution joint venture linked to Bates Worldwide Advertising with billings of nearly $6 billion), the show was broadcast for only 12 weeks before folding under financial pressures. - TomZenk.com's Match History Section Broadcast history Spring 1995: "test launch" syndicated in some markets September 1996-December 1996: Weekends, nationally syndicated Feel free to leave your comments on the Viewer's Comments page Awards Figure Four Weekly Year End Awards Worst Promotion: 1996: Winner Rec.Sport.Pro-Wrestling Year End Awards Worst TV Show: 1995: Second Place (winner: WCW) 1996: Winner Worst Organization: 1996: Winner AWF Title Histories AWF World Championship Won By Won From Date Location Shown on Tito Santana * 11/29/94 Chicago, IL AWF Warriors Of Wrestling 4/25/95 Bob Orton Jr.** Tito Santana 10/5/96 Ft.
