Well that was an opening night of upsets which was fun. Zeus and Miyahara ways have such good chemistry and God I love the Jackhammer

Real good opening show.

Outside of Jake Lee I was wrong on every single winner, but really enjoyed the show. Might even watch tomorrow's live over New Japan

As a new subscriber, I enjoyed the show, even if the stream seemed to stall often, or maybe that's my connection. There doesn't seem to be an option to use the low-quality stream like New Japan World does?

I think it's probably your connection, I didn't have any issues with the live show or the few matches I checked four from their battle library. Having a quick look through the faq there's nothing about changing quality so it unfortunately might be a recurring problem for you

That was a fun start and I hope the rest of the Carnival maintains that same quality.

Also, I'm fairly new to AJPW but what was that thing Zeus got after the match?

Okay I recognise Izanagi from last night but the other five are mysteries. I assume the white guy is either Akira Francesco or Dan Tamura?

Yeah, white guy is Akira, he's Italian & cool. Dan Tamura has the bleached hair, Hikaru Sato is rocking the Piledriver sponsored pants.
On the otherside Atsuki Aoyagi has the blue shorts & Rising HAYATO usually wears white & red but I missed if he was wearing that today

Ah, cool cool. Is Sato in a tag team? I have a vague memory of another guy in Black Piledriver pants,though I don't remember if it were from from yesterday's show or some random stuff I was watching from the library

Sato is in Evolution which is a stable of Suwama, him & Tamura. It used to have Yusuke Okada & Atsushi Aoki but one got treated poorly by the company & the other died far too young.

If you've never seen Sato before, dude is weird. Like he's a serious shootstyle guy, he runs Hard Hit which does Pancrase influenced works, but then he also appears in Yoneyama's YMZ where he regularly wrestles in a dress because hey, why not? Like there's a match with him vs Hikaru Shida which shows more of his lighter side.

In case you were unaware, Black Mensore thinks he is a snake. Or is a snake? I dunno. Sometimes I wonder if he's a teapot. Takao Omori is the big fella & Koji Iwamoto is the other chap.

For Total Eclipse, Hokuto Omori has the facial hair, Yusuke Kodama has the red hair & looks unsettling & TAJIRI is TAJIRI.

I think the tattoo makes him look even paler. At least Zeus and Bodyguard have a tan that holds up under the lights they're using.
