I've seen AJPW do some nice things recently with the rise of Yuma Anzai and having a decent roster then how bright is the future of AJPW?

I've used things like sumo tickets before but I always stress about whether the tickets will be sent to the right place etc plus their fee is huge. Last time I went to Japan I got away with buying directly through Lawson, but the only credit card that worked was Amex which I no longer have. Any other alternatives?

Now obviously Kento can't be the ace forever but with Yuma Anzai failing to beat Kento i wonder if he or someone else is next up to be the ace of All Japan.

After Seiki Yoshioka defeated Dan Tamura to win the 2026 Zennichi Jr. Festival, his All-Asia Tag Title partner MUSASHI and ex-Junior Champ Seigo Tachibana would make their way down.

Seigo would take the mic and ask Tamura to be his partner, as he seeks to win the All-Asia Tag Belts from Yoshioka & MUSASHI.

Like many others, Chono hated Inokism. Chono's and Inoki's relationship would be at an all time low after Inoki publically criticized the New Japan cards which Chono was booking at the time. Inoki would even run his own cards the same day as New Japan would run a show. What if Chono said "screw it", and joined Muto in All Japan? Chono's physical state wasn't great because of his neck problems, and he was starting to have knee and back problems, but he was still a big star who could be in the midcard.

Baba was suppose to go to the Rock Bottom ppv but had to cancel due to cancer but what if Baba's health was better and AJPW and WWF formed a partnership like WCW and NJPW did? Vince did send Vader over for an AJPW show and sent the New Blackjacks for the Tag League. He also wanted Kobashi to feud with Vader over the summer to which Baba pretended to not understand english which made Vince get upset and drop the idea. But knowing how Vince wanted to portray his company as the only wrestling company in the world and Baba being isolationist, I don't see Baba sending the pillars over and I don't see Vince giving them the time to get over. (A Misawa vs Kawada match on Raw in 1999 going 20 mins would be crazy) But all signs point to a closer partnership between the two companies. How do you think the partnership would've looked like?

Had the accident not occur and with FMW closing months later, would Hayabusa had joined AJPW? or does he go somewhere else?

Mutoh left NJPW to join AJPW in 2002 and we got the pro wrestling love era but what if instead of going to All Japan he instead joined the ark and went to NOAH?

Kenta Kobashi left Noah because Noah's business was so bad that they could not afford the keep him. As a result Kobashi retired and hoped his retirement match would help Noah financially wise. But what if instead staying loyal to Noah, Kobashi moved back to All Japan? Keep in mind Atsushi Aoki, Shiozaki, Akiyama, Kotaro Suzuki, and Yoshinobu Kanemaru quit Noah and went to All Japan out of loyalty to Kobashi.

Due to company politics, Muto left All Japan and formed Wrestle-1. However Wrestle-1 would end in 2020 and Muto would go to Noah. But what if Muto went back to AJPW? Muto would retire in 2023, his retirement would help draw fans to All Japan's product.

Shiozaki, Yuya Aoki, Kumaarashi, Shota Kofuji and a sleeping Hokuto Omori on a plane fight.

I wonder if this means that Aoki is planning to become a permanent member of the roster.
