Champion's Carnival - Results - 2000

2000

The 2000 Champion's Carnival was a 16-man single-elimination tournament, the first to strictly use such a format since 1974, and was held from March 24 to April 15. It was the last Carnival before nearly all of AJPW's roster, including Kenta Kobashi, Jun Akiyama, Mitsuharu Misawa and Akira Taue, left to form Pro Wrestling Noah. It also featured the shortest match in the tournament's history, with Takao Ōmori defeating Akiyama in seven seconds in the first round.
