History Alperstein, a promoter from Chicago, Illinois Chicago , founded the AWF in 1994 and was on air president of the company. He intended to reintroduce rules as a significant part of professional wrestling . This was carried out by the use of timed rounds and judges in every match, which is similar to the rules of professional wrestling in Europe and as well as Boxing . Each round was four minutes long with a one minute rest period between rounds. Title bouts were scheduled for twelve rounds while all other fights were scheduled for three. One referee and two judges were assigned to each match. The winner of each round was decided by both the judges scorecards and the referee s scorecard. If a match lasted the full amount of scheduled rounds, the winner was declared as whoever had the majority of points on each of the three scorecards. Another rule implemented was that throwing opponents over the top rope resulted in an automatic disqualification. Only a few wrestlers in this organization had experience in European wrestling, most notably England s Chris Adams wrestler Chris Adams and Mr. Ambassador Steve Casey not to be confused with the World Class wrestler of the same name . Jim Brunzell was named AWF commissioner by Alperstein in hopes that he would make sure the above rules were enforced. The promotion held several house show s and was building towards a pay per view event, but closed in December 1996 for financial reasons.
