It's a shame to see where All-Japan has gone. The Champions Carnival used to be THE tournament to win in puroresu. You could count on at least two or three 5-star type matches and the winner would always be a major puro player. Now, it's a hollow shell of its former glory. I was such a huge fan of Baba's Kings Road style, which melded hard-hitting action with Americanized storytelling in the best way possible. I would love to see an all-star roster (all in their primes) go at it in the Champions Carnival. Could you imagine a line-up of Bruiser Brody, Stan Hansen, Dory Funk, Jr., Terry Funk, Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Jumbo Tsuruta, Keiji Mutoh, Vader, Abdullah the Butcher, Terry "Bamm Bamm" Gordy, and Toshiaki Kawada? Oh my Lord, that would be epic...

I'm the man, the myth, the legend..."The Show"

New All Asia Tag Champs (Ultimo Dragon & Yoshinobu Kanemaru), as well as new World Tag Team Champions (Akebono & Yutaka Yoshie) after tonight's show at Hakata Starlanes.
I must admit, I haven't followed All Japan in quite a while, but I might grab a few shows and sit down and watch them properly over the next few weeks. I'm interested to see where Akiyama wants to take it, even if the upcoming Champion's Carnival lineup looks awfully weak.

I'm fine with Akebono and Yoshie as a regular duo in All Japan, but I'm not fine with them being the champions. Akiyama and Omori were outstanding champs.

374 Fans

1. SUSHI defeated Yuma Aoyagi (9:05)
2. KENSO defeated Naoya Nomura (7:31)

6. AJPW World Tag Team Title: Akebono & Yutaka Yoshie defeated Jun Akiyama & Takao Omori (c) (24:19)

I don't get the reasoning behind doing title switches at small shows, why not save this for Korakuen or something. Onita is really pushing his new promotion though, wonder if it will affect Super Battle FMW.

In the mid-card at that. Can I get a refresher on the significance of Hakata Star Lane or do you mean because it's small?
