Champion Carnival

[The Great Maijin]

I read on a website that AJ was going to cancel Champion Carnival. A few days later AJ announced the tour dates for the tourney. What's up with that.

I read with Kawada out (but coming back soon... ), Kea injured ( ), and Tenryu possibly jumping to Choshu's new organization ( ), Mutoh was thinking about cancelling this year's carnival. Thankfully, it's back on.

Tradition rules! Mutoh, as much as I love him as a wrestler, is a terrible booker... Stop the non sense!

Just because the tour is called "Champion Carnival" doesn't mean there will be a CC tournament. At Tom Zenk's Web site there are many pictures of his being in a "Champion Carnival" tour before 1990, however the tournament was suspended in 1983 and not brought back until 1991!

That there will be both tour and tourney!

There WILL be a tour, I'll just wait and see about the tourney

Hopefully there will be a tournament as well. I know it may not be as deep as some past years due to injuries and defections, but it's tradition and could be used to help elevate someone (Kojima!!). If depth is a problem, add a few Zero-One guys to the mix (Ohtani, Tanaka, etc..).

If there is indeed a tournament this year(*crosses fingers*), I'd really like to see Kojima win it, going over Mutoh in the final.

Any other ideas for the final\winner? Or semis even?

Keiji Mutoh over Kawada (if he is back)

[Muiyan]

Kawada over Mutoh.

[The Great Maijin]

Kawanda over Kojima or Kojima over Mutoh

I'd like to see Kojima go over Mutoh in the finals of the CC, then proceed to beat Hashimoto to win back the Triple Crown for All Japan. Last I saw, Kawada's return is still set for the last day of the CC tour, so, as of now, it doesn't look like he'll be in the tournament.
