7. Champion Carnival - Final: Taiyo Kea def. Suwama (22:33) with the TKO.

~ Taiyo Kea wins the 2012 Champion Carnival!

~ Both men pulled out almost every move in their book and then some. Kea even dropped Suwama with a Tiger Driver ’91, definitely playing homage to Misawa, and it was a big moment. In the end Kea hit Suwama with the Surfing Suplex (Cobra Clutch Suplex), a big lariat shot, and then finally the TKO sealed the big win for Kea.

Kea hits Tiger Driver '91

~ Taiyo Kea said he is coming for Akiyama. With the win, Kea earns “another” shot against Akiyama for the Triple Crown shot. This time around though Kea will be carrying the momentum of the Carnival on his side, will it prove to be the key for him to bring the belt back home to All Japan?
