Date:\u00a0 April 14th, 2014 to April 23rd, 2014 As of September 2014, most of the All Japan Champion Carnival has not ‘made tape’. The only events that aired were the opening event, and the finale. They did show a Special however that had highlights from other matches, so even though it is clipped and incomplete, at the moment it is all we have. If down the road they release the full Champion Carnival, I will come back and review those events.<\/p>\n Here are the matches on the Champion Carnival Special:<\/p>\n April 14th – Akebono vs. Kento Miyahara I’m not going to even bother score these, since the matches are too clipped, but I’ll still give my thoughts on what was shown.<\/p>\n Akebono vs. Kento Miyahara<\/strong> Akebono vs. Osamu Nishimura<\/strong> Kento Miyahara vs. Takao Omori<\/strong> Osamu Nishimura vs. Suwama<\/strong> Kendo Kashin vs. Akebono<\/strong> Kendo Kashin vs. Kento Miyahara<\/strong> Kendo Kashin vs. Osamu Nishimura<\/strong> Kendo Kashin vs. Suwama<\/strong> Yutaka Yoshie vs. Zeus<\/strong> Yutaka Yoshie vs. Go Shiozaki<\/strong> KENSO vs. Joe Doering KENSO\u00a0 vs. Yutaka Yoshie<\/strong> Jun Akiyama vs. Joe Doering<\/strong> Jun Akiyama vs. Yutaka Yoshie<\/strong> Go Shiozaki vs. Joe Doering Go Shiozaki vs. Zeus<\/strong> Final Thoughts: <\/strong><\/p>\n Two of the matches had a decent amount shown but most were just a few clips.\u00a0 At some point it is likely that All Japan will release the entire tournament, however with their ownership situation around this time it may get lost in the shuffle.\u00a0 Worth a watch if you wanted to see how the matches ended but really just a highlights show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Champions Carnival Special Featuring Action from April 14 – 23 events.
