Thanks to all who have participated so far! Forgot to mention, I'm playing along with you all!

2019 AJPW Champion Carnival - Night 1 Pick'em

- Champion Carnival - Block A: Shuji Ishikawa vs. Yuji Okabayashi [bJW] - I think Yuji or Shuji is winning A Block, since they did the "Kento has the title but loses in the finals" thing last year

- Champion Carnival - Block A: Kento Miyahara vs. Atsushi Aoki (replacing Kengo Mashimo) - This shouldn't be close. Set Kento up for a strong start and runs out of gas with all his defenses so far

- Champion Carnival - Block B: Daichi Hashimoto [bJW] vs. Takashi Yoshida [Dragon Gate] - Yoshida playing the monster in tourney maybe? Maybe I just don't like Hash...

- Champion Carnival - Block B: Naoya Nomura vs. Jake Lee - Nomura because I think he is better than Lee and hope he or Doering win B Block

- Champion Carnival - Block B: Suwama vs. Joe Doering - Suwama can stay in tags, as he's excellent there with Shuji. Joe needs to make a run again at the block and belt

Hollywood · April 1, 2019

2019 AJPW Champion Carnival - Night 1 Pick'em

- Champion Carnival - Block A: Shuji Ishikawa vs. Yuji Okabayashi [bJW] - Strong BJ represent!

- Champion Carnival - Block A: Kento Miyahara vs. Atsushi Aoki (replacing Kengo Mashimo) - The champ ain't losing on the first night

- Champion Carnival - Block B: Daichi Hashimoto [bJW] vs. Takashi Yoshida [Dragon Gate]

- Champion Carnival - Block B: Naoya Nomura vs. Jake Lee

- Champion Carnival - Block B: Suwama vs. Joe Doering - Us Canadians have adopted Joe as one of our own, so I hope he goes far!

2019 AJPW Champion Carnival - Night 1 Pick'em

- Champion Carnival - Block A: Kento Miyahara vs. Atsushi Aoki (replacing Kengo Mashimo) - no explanation needed, Kento gonna Kento

- Champion Carnival - Block B: Daichi Hashimoto [bJW] vs. Takashi Yoshida [Dragon Gate] - Yoshida b/c I'm s huge Yoshida mark

A note on the booking of night 1 above. So excited Nomura beat Lee. Lee may still win the block, but Nomura has really come on lately and his match with Kento in March was great.

@Hollywood & @CGN91, I'll be in touch via PM as to your options for booking in February!

</div>

<div style="text-align:left;">Black Canvas Grappling announced today that they have signed a working agreement with two promotions, OLLIE and Pittsburgh Steel Wrestling.

OLLIE are the oldest active wrestling promotion in the entire world, having celebrated their 60th birthday in 2015. They are sometimes known as "The People's Promotion", a reference to their golden era when their low-cost shows would fill arenas with entire families. Famously, there is much confusion over what their initials stand for and there are at least five competing theories with a strong claim to being the truth.

The artifact of DAVE, Pittsburgh Steel Wrestling came to be after DAVE's demise in April 2007. The concept with PSW was simple; to start again and to repeat the formula that had worked first time around, but to avoid the traps that DAVE fell into. Naess, aided by a number of DAVE alumni, thus began the mission to try and succeed where DAVE failed....and to complete the revolution.

Yoshifusa Maeda</div>

Yoshifusa Maeda noted that he is excited to bring in some of the elite talent from these two promotions and also sees an opportunity for Black Canvas talent to work their shows as well in the future.

With BCG announcing they are starting a junior division in February, expect to see representatives of these 2 companies in the tournament to crown the inaugural BCG World Junior Heavyweight Champion!

<div style="text-align:left;">It appears that Toshinobu Taku has taken a liking to Danjuro Kikuchi and has taken him under his wing as a protege.

Kikuchi will be well served to listen to the 30-year wrestling veteran and will hopefully pick up a few tricks that will help his development.
