Main event is Suwama vs Zeus. Suwama is the former AJPW ace before Kento came along. Only seen a few matches but I don't remember being that impressed. Zeus is a former bodybuilder and tag partner to Bodyguard, another jacked up tight. Dunno how good he is.
Champ Carnival is 3 for 3 so far. NO PRESSURE

Shingo Takagi used to be a thing about a decade and a bit ago. How has he developed? I'm really happy about the All Japan resurgence, but my main interest in signing up to their thing was the classic All Japan stuff. If they can get that on there, I'd probably sign up and go on a binge, to be honest.
I'm not sure how he'd fit the company given their current roster and all that, but at some point it'd be interesting to see Tetsuya Naito jump to All Japan. Not necessarily because of heat with New Japan or anything, but just because you can only exist in a spot for so long before it gets a bit stale. Okada is clearly the guy, and there's nothing wrong with that. Okada has all the tools. Naito has got a lot of the tools and is very interesting, but he's clearly not going to overtake Okada. At some point, however, you have to think that Naito either wants to be in that league. They have to shit or get off the pot. It'd be interesting if Naito jumped to All Japan just to "drum up interest."
How is the relationship between the two promotions? They used to somewhat collaborate and cooperate, but I think things may have gotten icy for a while. I know New Japan was working with Pro Wrestling NOAH for a while, but I think New Japan and All Japan -- not working together, per se -- but coexisting in the marketplace would be very cool.
