All Wrestling Organization was an independent wrestling promotion in the Middle East, that operated in Israel from 2012 to 2023.
AWO was founded at early June 2012 by Mahran Abdul Hai.[1] The debut show, "WrestleFest", was held on June 21 in front of a sold-out crowd of 600 fans. The show was sponsored and broadcast by Panet.[2] The main event of this show saw The Arabian Horse squaring off against Kronos in a match for the vacant AWO Championship in which The Arabian Horse won and became the first ever AWO Champion.
In July 2012, AWO held an event called "The Ramadan Rumble", its main event saw The Arabian Horse team with The White Leopard against Ken Kerbis & Kronos.
In September 2012, AWO held a show in Kafr Qasim, "Vengeance Day", in front of 400 fans. The main event was a triple threat match for the AWO Championship, between Da Style, Kronos and The Arabian Horse which saw The Arabian Horse emerge victorious and retaining his title.
At November 2012, Kronos defeated The Arabian Horse in a 20 seconds' worth of match at "Face Off". After the former had a successful title defense against Evgeny Lyder, the AWO General Manager, Mr. Saar Etinger, entered the arena and decided to reward Kronos with a title shot.
January 2013 brought "No Man's Land" in front of 100+ fans in Tel Aviv. The event saw the AWO debuts of Iceman & Big Leo as they faced each other, and Kronos retaining the title after defeating The Arabian Horse in a Last Man Standing match.
"WrestleFest II" saw Evgeny Lyder becoming the top contender after winning a triangle TLC match, granting him a title bout VS The Arabian Horse, who in turn regained his title VS Kronos in this very show.
"WrestleChurch" brought upon the eventual title victory for Lyder, as well as his defeat in an impromptu rematch VS The Arabian Horse. He became the top contender once again after scoring the victory in a 12-men battle royal.
"SummerSalam" had Ken Kerbis and Rixon Ruas tearing the house down with Ruas emerging victorious and Da Style beating The Arabian Horse and becoming the champion.
"TLV Clash" was the second show bringing the organization back to Tel Aviv. It featured IWF heavyweight champion Ivan Markov teaming with Idan Boulder VS De Shanell and Kronus, with the latter team scoring the win as Boulder turned against his partner, laying him out with a chairshot. Evgeny Lyder scored the win VS Da Style and became the AWO champion for the second time, only to lose it later on in the evening to Chris Korvinn. In addition, Ataman made his AWO debut in an "open challenge" during which he defeated two wrestlers in a row, never once getting off his feet.
Autumn Fallout brought the AWO once again to Tel Aviv. The commentary was done live for the first time ever in Israel by Moty Aharonovich and Gordon. This time around Udi M & Max Von Punx showed they're here to stay as a tag team, sporting similar outfits and showcased their combined skills in the ring, overcoming White Leopard & Hellboy. Ataman gained another victory-this time over Adi Hurvitz - and increasing his victory streak to 3–0, and interfered for Ken Kerbis in the 6-way Israeli championship match, assisting Ken in becoming the inaugural title holder. Among other results, Chris Korvinn retained his AWO championship after defeating Da Style, and after being distracted by Big Leo, Idan Boulder ended up losing to Joe E. Legend in the final bout which tore the house down.[3] [4]
"Urban Hazzard" took place on December 29 in Tel Aviv. Y & R gained their third victory in a row after defeating Kronos & Da Shannell, who kept on disagreeing up to the point of Shannell costing his team the match. Ken Kerbis retained the AWO Israeli Title as he scored the win over Rixon Ruas. Big Leo was placed in charge of the Sniper/Idan Boulder match as a special guest referee which saw the latter emerging victorious, and Chris Korvinn defeated Da Style to retain the AWO championship in the first ever Lumberjack match in Israel.
"The 11th Plague" took place in Jaffa on March 29, 2014. The card saw the Israeli championship change hands as Rixon Ruas defeated Ken Kerbis to become the new Israeli champion. The main event featured a 9-man battle royal for the AWO championship. Ken Kerbis was the last man standing and was crowned the new AWO champion.[5]
"AWO Revolution" took place in Jaffa of April 26, 2014. The card included: In the opening match, Shay Blanco & Idan Boulder beat Da Style and a returning Da Shannell in a highly exciting match, Mad Zenzero beat Hellboy, Rixon Roas successfully defended his Israeli championship for the first time against Kronos who attacked him after the match ended, Ataman pinned "Blondevil" and AWO champion Ken Kerbis beat Adi Hurvitz and retained his title. After the match, Kronos attacked Kerbis and raised the AWO championship.
On May 29, 2014, the promotion made their debut show in Haifa, the show was taped and was broadcast on the Ego Total channel. "WrestleFest III" took place on June 26, 2014, and saw the debut of former WWE superstars Carlito and Chris Masters (who won the AWO championship), as well as the return of Ivan Markov as he faced the Ataman in a brutal hardcore match.
