A Look at the 2021 ZERO1 Fire Festival and the Participants

With the summer approaching, it means one thing for Pro Wrestling ZERO1 which is the Fire Festival. The Fire Festival is ZERO1's G1 Climax or Champion Carnival or N-1 type tournament. This year, it's twelve wrestlers who will compete in a round robin tournament with the winner receiving the fire sword as the prize for victory. After missing last year's tournament, I decided to look into this year's tournament despite not being able to watch ZERO1. I must admit, this probably won't be my best as I'll be going into this blind so if I'm off then that's a big reason why.

Back in April, I looked at the participants for All Japan's top tournament the Champion Carnival so now I figure I do the same for Pro Wrestling ZERO1's top tournament the Fire Festival. The Fire Festival is like most Japanese tournaments in that it's round robin with one or two blocks of wrestlers battling it out and the top two meet in the finals to decide the winner. The prize for winning the Fire Festival is the Fire Sword, a red katana that the winner holds on to for a year until the next tournament. Unlike most of these tournaments, the winner isn't guaranteed a world heavyweight championship shot as some received one but some have not while others were reigning champion.
