The show is finally back, and just in time to review AJPW’s Champion Carnival. I analyse all the major matches, go over the most/least impressive wrestlers, list my top 10 matches, and give my overall thoughts on the tournament and the winner, plus the implications for All Japan going forward.

My bite-sized ideas:

“Triple Crown champ Nomura by the end of 2019, or else I walk”

“Zeus in the company for the next 15 years, in which case I stay”

“Miyahara probably doesn’t deserve my vitriol”

“Ishikawa, Okabayashi, and James are in the next Godzilla film”

“You’re all wrong on which matches were great”

“Hey, these wrestlers repeated their sh*t for 18 days, so excuse me if I likewise repeat my comments”
