The {{nihongo|Champion Carnival|チャンピオン・カーニバル|Chanpion Kānibaru}} is a professional wrestling tournament held by All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW). The tournament is also known by the nickname {{nihongo|Haru no Saiten|春の祭典||"Spring Festival"}} and is sometimes abbreviated to CC. Created by AJPW founder Giant Baba, the tournament has been held annually since 1973 and is the longest-running singles tournament in professional wrestling, while also ranking as the most prestigious event in the AJPW calendar.{{cite web | url = http://slam.canoe.com/SlamWrestlingInternational/apr14_carnivalfinals-can.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160803231511/http://slam.canoe.com/SlamWrestlingInternational/apr14_carnivalfinals-can.html | url-status = dead | archive-date = August 3, 2016 | title = Tenryu wins Carnival Championship, All Japan tournament concludes | last=Molinaro | first=John F. | accessdate=May 25, 2016 | work=Slam!

The tournament is held in a round-robin format, where all participating wrestlers face each other once with the winner being awarded two points and the loser none. A draw results in both wrestlers being awarded a point. After all wrestlers have faced each other once, the top two wrestlers advance to the final to determine the tournament winner.

Baba himself holds the record for most Champion Carnival wins, having won the tournament seven times. Other notable winners include Abdullah the Butcher, Jumbo Tsuruta, Keiji Mutoh, Mitsuharu Misawa, Stan Hansen, Toshiaki Kawada and Kento Miyahara. Four wrestlers have won both the Champion Carnival and the G1 Climax: Mutoh, Satoshi Kojima, Kensuke Sasaki and Yuji Nagata, with Kojima the only one to win them alongside Fire Festival and Nagata the only one to win them alongside the Global League.

History

File:Rikidouzan.jpg, the creator of the original World League]]

From 1959 to 1972, the Japan Pro Wrestling Alliance (JWA), run by Rikidōzan, held a tournament called World League (also known as the "World Big League"), which featured both Japanese and foreign professional wrestlers. Rikidōzan himself dominated the annual tournament early on, however, after his death in 1963, the tournament was won six times by Giant Baba and once by Antonio Inoki. JWA folded shortly after both Baba and Inoki left the promotion to create All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), respectively. Both men took the concept of World League with them to their new promotions, with Baba creating the "Champion Carnival" in 1973 and Inoki creating the World League in 1974, later renaming it G1 Climax.

The first Champion Carnival took place only six months after Baba had founded AJPW. The initial tournament was held in a single-elimination format and was intended for AJPW's heavyweight wrestlers such as Hiro Matsuda, Samson Kutsuwada and Thunder Sugiyama. For the tournament, Baba also recruited several foreign wrestlers, such as Baron Scicluna, The Destroyer, King Curtis Iaukea and Mark Lewin.{{cite web | url = http://slam.canoe.com/SlamWrestlingInternational/carnival.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160309154003/http://slam.canoe.com/SlamWrestlingInternational/carnival.html | url-status = dead | archive-date = March 9, 2016 | title = History of All Japan's Carnival tournament | last=Molinaro | first=John F. | accessdate=May 25, 2016 | work=Slam! Sports | publisher=Canadian Online Explorer}} Baba himself won the inaugural tournament, defeating Lewin in the final. A year later, AJPW presented the second Champion Carnival, which most notably introduced former Olympian Jumbo Tsuruta, who eventually went on to become one of the promotion's top names. Baba also won the second Champion Carnival, this time defeating Mr. Wrestling in the final.{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/other-wrestling/day-pro-wrestling-history-may-14-kerry-von-erich-vs-superstar-billy-graham-giant | title = On this day in pro wrestling history (May 14): Kerry Von Erich vs. Superstar Billy Graham, Giant Baba wins Champion Carnival tourney, lots of WCW | last=Hoops | first=Brian | date=May 14, 2015 | accessdate=May 25, 2016 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} Heading into the 1975 Champion Carnival, Baba changed the tournament's format. Now the four wrestlers who advanced to the semifinals in the single-elimination tournament were put into a round-robin tournament, where the wrestler with the best record would be declared the winner. Baba went on to win the tournament for the third year in a row, defeating Gene Kiniski in the final.{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/other-wrestling/daily-pro-wrestling-history-0503-von-erich-parade-champions-steiners-wins-wcw-world | title = Daily Pro Wrestling History (05/03): Von Erich Parade of Champions; Steiners wins WCW World Tag Team Titles; AJ Styles wins IWGP Title | last=Hoops | first=Brian | date=May 3, 2016 | accessdate=May 25, 2016 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} A year later, the single-elimination portion of the tournament was eliminated and the Champion Carnival was changed to a pure round-robin tournament, a format it holds to this day. The 1976 tournament was the first Champion Carnival not won by Baba. It was instead won by Canadian Abdullah the Butcher, who defeated Baba in the final. Baba went on to win the tournament four more times, winning a total of seven out of the ten first Champion Carnivals. In early 1980s, AJPW loaded the Champion Carnival with some of the top foreign wrestlers in the world, including Billy Robinson, Bruiser Brody, Dick Slater, Jack Brisco, Stan Hansen, Ted DiBiase and Terry Funk. However, after rival promotion NJPW took over as the number one promotion in Japan with a record-breaking business streak, AJPW decided to put the Champion Carnival on hiatus, not wanting the tournament to be overshadowed by their competitors. The hiatus lasted from 1983 to 1991.

In 1991, AJPW had overtaken NJPW and was again the top promotion in Japan, boasting a roster of top foreign wrestlers mixed with top Japanese wrestlers. The 1991 tournament showcased several younger wrestlers, including Kenta Kobashi, Mitsuharu Misawa and Toshiaki Kawada, who bypassed the promotion's aging veterans and went on to become the promotion's cornerstones for the next decade. However, despite the emergence of the younger wrestlers and the participation of foreign wrestlers such as Doug Furnas, The Dynamite Kid, Johnny Ace, Johnny Smith and Mick Foley, the 1991 tournament was won by an AJPW veteran Jumbo Tsuruta, who defeated Stan Hansen in the final. The 1992 tournament was booked around the storyline of the "young lions" challenging the veterans for AJPW supremacy. Stan Hansen went on to win his first Champion Carnival, defeating Mitsuharu Misawa in the final.{{cite web | url = http://www.pwinsider.com/article/30505/this-day-in-history-jericho-wins-the-wwf-title-for-a-few-minutes-the-first-spring-stampede-and-more.html?p=1 | title = This day in history: Jericho wins the WWF title (for a few minutes), the first Spring Stampede and more | last=Martinez | first=Ryan | date=April 17, 2008 | accessdate=May 25, 2016 | work=Pro Wrestling Insider}} Despite losing in the final, the tournament made Misawa a star, someone earmarked to occupy the promotion's top spot. A year later, Hansen again defeated Misawa in the final. The 1993 tournament was also noteworthy for introducing rookie Jun Akiyama. In 1994, Toshiaki Kawada became the first of the "young lions" to win the Champion Carnival, defeating "Dr. Death" Steve Williams in the final, a match that has been called "arguably the greatest Carnival tournament match of all time". For the next several years the tournament was dominated by AJPW's younger wrestlers with Kawada repeating his win, Mitsuharu Misawa winning two tournaments and Kenta Kobashi one tournament. The 1997 tournament ended in a rare three-way draw between Kawada, Kobashi and Misawa, resulting in a round-robin playoff between the three, where Kawada emerged victorious.{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/other-wrestling/daily-pro-wrestling-history-0419-randy-savage-wins-wcw-world-title-ric-flairs-wins | title = Daily pro wrestling history (04/19): Randy Savage wins WCW World Title; Ric Flairs wins NWA US Title | last=Hoops | first=Brian | date=April 19, 2016 | accessdate=May 25, 2016 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}}

On January 31, 1999, Giant Baba died, leaving the promotion in the hands of Mitsuharu Misawa. The 1999 Champion Carnival was the first one not booked by Baba. As the new booker, Misawa made a controversial decision to leave Stan Hansen out of the tournament, while giving Vader the win in the final over Kenta Kobashi. Problems between Misawa and Giant Baba's widow Motoko Baba led to Misawa exiting AJPW in 2000, taking 26 out of the 28 Japanese AJPW wrestlers with him to form the new Pro Wrestling Noah promotion.{{cite magazine | last = Meltzer | first = Dave | authorlink = Dave Meltzer | date = June 22, 2009 | title = June 22, 2009 Observer Newsletter: Misawa tragic death, UFC 99, Trump angle, TripleMania, Sylvia | magazine = Wrestling Observer Newsletter | location = Campbell, California | issn = 1083-9593}} Struggling to cope with the loss of the majority of its roster, AJPW eventually hired NJPW wrestler Keiji Mutoh to lead the promotion.{{cite web | url = http://411mania.com/wrestling/destiny-6-03-07-keiji-mutoh-and-the-triple-crown/ | title = Destiny 6.03.07: Keiji Mutoh and the Triple Crown | last=Adamson | first=Matt | date=June 3, 2007 | accessdate=May 25, 2016 | work=411Mania}} Mutoh went on to win the Champion Carnival three times (2002, 2004 and 2007), before leaving the promotion in 2013, after which he was replaced by Jun Akiyama.{{cite web | url=http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/538526/ | script-title=ja:秋山ゴーサイン！武藤と“新旧全日社長対決”だ | date=May 9, 2016 | accessdate=May 25, 2016 | work=Tokyo Sports | language=Japanese | archive-date=March 28, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190328231239/https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/538526/ | url-status=dead }} 2013 also saw Akiyama finally win his first Champion Carnival, twenty years after his debut appearance in the tournament.

In recent years, several outsiders have won the tournament, with freelancer Minoru Suzuki winning it in 2009 and 2010, NJPW representative Yuji Nagata winning it in 2011,{{cite web | url = http://battle-news.com/battle/2011/04/000439.php | script-title=ja:永田裕志"青春"真っ盛り！鈴木を破って優勝決定戦に進出してきた真田を下し、NJCに続きチャンピオン・カーニバルも制覇！ | accessdate=May 25, 2016 | work=Battle News | language=Japanese}} Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW) representative Daisuke Sekimoto winning it in 2016, freelancer Shuji Ishikawa winning it in 2017,{{cite web | url = http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/680673/ | script-title=ja:【全日本】石川修司がＣ・カーニバル初Ｖ！大成長の裏に飯伏への対抗心 | date=May 1, 2017 | accessdate=May 1, 2017 | work=Tokyo Sports | language=Japanese}} and Pro Wrestling Noah representative Naomichi Marufuji winning it in 2018.

On April 2, 2020, AJPW held a press conference, delaying this year's Champion Carnival, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On May 28, they confirmed that the tournament has been moved to September.

2002

The 2002 Champion Carnival was held from March 23 to April 10, re-introduced the dual-block round-robin format used in 1991 and 1992, this time with seven men in each block; the top two scorers in each would advance to a four-man tournament, with Block A's first place finalist facing Block B's runner-up, and vice versa, and the winners wrestling in the final. Despite the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship being vacant as a result of Toshiaki Kawada injuring his knee after his match against Arashi (thereby forfeiting all his other scheduled matches), All Japan decided not to use the tournament to fill the vacancy, citing the time limit for tournament matches (30 minutes as opposed to 60 in championship bouts).

The winner, Keiji Mutoh, became the first man in history to win both the Champion Carnival and the G1 Climax, as well as the second man (after Vader) to win the Carnival in his first appearance.
