>>14570335Yuma Anzai is ridiculously good for as green as he is. A shoot wrestling prodigy that was unironically built to be a mega star. As long as his seniors can help him steer clear from a lot of the pitfalls that can derail a young wrestler's career there is nothing but a bright future ahead of him.
RISING Hayato is a crazy lil nibba loaded with speed and charisma. He runs the ropes like a bullet. The Burberry drip draws all the Japanese equivalent of scene girls to the shows.
Jun Saito is a great heel with a commanding presence, size, and presentation that feels like something out of the Showa era. Completely jannetties his lil bro.
Kento Miyahara is still ridiculously over with the AJPW audience and knows how to play them like a fiddle and get over even when he is doing the job.
Champion Carnival has been great fun this year, and I am really enjoying Cyrus The Destroyer's return this year. His Vader tribute act is really good because he not only looks like Vader, but has the strength, size, and skills to actually put it off. He could be a little stiffer and just lay his shit in, but it is what it is.
The only downside to AJPW right now is their reliance on freelancers which leaves the roster feeling thin. At any moment they could have some of their guys poached which would hurt their ability to fill out the mid and under card.
