A Look at the 2019 All Japan Champion Carnival and the Participants

April 4th will kick off the yearly Champion Carnival, the top singles tournament for All Japan Pro Wrestling. The tournament has been won by a who's who in All Japan including Giant Baba, Jumbo Tsuruta, Mitsuharu Misawa, Toshiaki Kawada, Kenta Kobashi, Akira Taue, Stan Hansen, Keiji "The Great Muta" Mutoh, Genichiro Tenryu, Satoshi Kojima, Kensuke Sasaki, and Suwama. This year will be the biggest in years with 18 competitors in 2 blocks of 9 with the traditional round robin format and the tour will span 18 days. With the tournament coming up, I figure I take a look at the participants and analyze their chances of winning as well as reasons why they may not win.

Or a TV since one autistic kid came up with 95% of American Television at least since 1982.
