Animal Wresting Federation accused of Fixing Fights

St. Louis - The AWF ( Animal Wrestling Federation) was brought up before the Grand Jury today, accused of predetermining the outcome of their televised fights. Key witnesses include Sherman Gariepy, a retired wrestler in the AWF. He claims that many of the fights were fixed and profits were made in the betting aspect of the sport. Beth, an indian elephant, has been named as the key defendant in this case, after allegations implicated her as the ringleader of the fight fixers. Victor Cherdozjenim has also been named a defendant owing to his poor performance in his last fight, against Beth. Prosecutors claim that Victor's victory was shallow, and that Beth took a "fall". Victor refused to comment as did Beth, but their attorneys state that " Neither party has ever faked a fight or bet on the outcome. The AWF is an honest organization".

However, spectators at the last match had different opinions - " I saw Victor drop-kick Beth, but he barely actually touched her...She dropped heavily, pretending to be hurt. I saw it all...they're a bunch of fakes !". said Andrew Carpentier. Ross Gimbley added - " If you think that Victor won that fight fair and square, then you're all a bunch of dumb idiots...".

Victor's dad, an avid supporter of the Animal Wresting Federation said - " They can't all win the darned fights...In this case Victor was stronger, faster, more stylish...Beth didn't train well enough and Victor zonked her noodle....In my book, it was more than a fair fight....".

The next tour of the AWF begin in July in Arlington, where Coco the Bear meets Roger Keppler in a 5 round "no-holds-barred" match. A sellout crowd is expected.

" I thought Beth would take him in the 3rd round, but Victor kicked her butt.....The fight looked like it was fixed...".
