Ibushi and Zack was really dope...probably their best match together but they have great chemistry together.
The roster needs some fresh faces in the mix though....we're getting a lot of repeated progams and rematches. Surely some of these young lions are ready for their excursion (please not ROH
)

Catching up a little bit with the CC, only saw the matches that looked interesting/good on paper from the first week.
Yuji Okabayashi vs Yuma Aoyagi - AJPW Champion Carnival 4/6/19
Nice little 5 minute match. Loved the start with Aoyagi wrestling a different match than usual and not letting Okabayashi do his routine shyt, you could be urgency from the young kid. Once Yuji is able to establish control the match is basically over, because that's what should happen with this kind of discrepancy in status and physique
@SubZeroDegrees
Jake Lee vs Daichi Hashimoto - AJPW Champion Carnival 4/7/19
Nope, Lee still doesn't have it. Very mild performance by him - his spotty no selling was Seth Rollins levels of bad -, Daichi is fine but isn't able to elevate this 10 minute match to anything better than "Ok".
Kento Miyahara vs Zeus - AJPW Champion Carnival 4/9/19
The majority of this match was worked like a fun house show encounter. Some comedy with Kento's and Wada's antics as Miyahara was in control and that's how he works those segments most of the time. Zeus wasn't fukking around though, every chop he threw was vicious. The last 5 minutes the match does a 180° and it's basically a super sprint with a bunch of moves and kickouts until the finish. It's a harmless, fun match. Crowd was really into it all the way through.
Will keep catching up with the rest of the days, hopefully next week.
From today though...
Joe Doering vs Daichi Hashimoto - AJPW Champion Carnival 4/21/19
Crowd makes this a lot more compelling than it could've been. The story is there and it's pretty damn simple, Joe is bigger and Daichi wants to prove a point. Fans REALLY want to see Hashimoto prove that point, but there wasn't enough for it to go beyond a fun little match. It was worked like a young lion's match, would've like a little more from the underdog. Really liked the finish though.
Suwama vs Jake Lee - AJPW Champion Carnival 4/21/19
Honestly this had a really hard job having to follow Yuji/Zeus (which I talk about below) so I can't honestly say if the firs half was good, too slow or just meh. This was pretty much Suwama's show, his control section was pretty good, and then he did an awesome job selling Jake's comeback, which lead to his own comeback, which was pretty dope. I would've cut like 5 minutes but as this was the main event, I guess they felt they needed a longer match.
Yuji Okabayashi vs Zeus - AJPW Champion Carnival 4/21/19
This wasn't a hoss battle, this was a damn KAIJU BATTLE
exactly what you expect from these two. 16 minutes of two fright trains clashing against each other until one proves which is the it's the strongest. The go full Kobashi/Sasaki with the chop battle, I think they spent like 3 straight minutes just choping the fukk out of one another. In the beginning it seemed Zeus was going to work on top for Yuji to comeback eventually, but that was not the case at all, this was more of a sprint with a bunch of strikes and suplexes and excess. Only part I found too much was the suplex exchange part, but eventually they sold the fukk out of the exhaustion this type of effort would require so I can't get too mad at it. Awesome crowd too, they got what they wanted to see.
I'll try to find a link, I know XWT will have the show up and probably VK. It's pretty awesome so check it out

I thought Kota/Sabre was a little long winded, last 15 minutes was excellent but I was feeling the length (
). I know they were building up all the Sabre holds etc but eh. Also I didn't quite buy the story with Sabre trying to hang with Kota striking, I mean it wasn't a contest at ALL. And Ibushi was clearly holding back. Again though, I liked the last part a lot.

Zabre was fukking horrible at the CWC though.
And if Ali could get a push, so could Kota. Though he would've probably no showed a random house show tour and never returned because he missed Kenny

He got offered a deal, though, regardless.
On 205 Live, he would have been in a tag team with Jack Gallgher. As it stands, he's headlining shows in Japan and the UK 
Also - the way they're presenting Kota, he should be closing PPV's as IGWP champ at some point in the future if they don't Gedo it up.. I don't think Vince is giving Ali the equivalent of that look.
My comment was more about them not being pigeon holed as smaller guys who get their match left off the DVD release.

Ibushi officially signed with New Japan today. He is actually signed to a company. Hell froze over and Cornette is at peace with Russo too.

was his contract up?
He was a free agent. Pretty much always refuses any exclusive contract they throw at him.
