A place to discuss the best of the best of Japanese Pro Wrestling. Whether it's major promotions like NJPW, AJPW, Dragon Gate or Noah or independents such as Michinoku, DDT or Wrestle-1 it doesn't matter.

If it's puro, then it belongs here.

Welcome to PuroRev!

RULES & GUIDELINES

Yep, that's it! One whole rule! More rules are bound to be put in place in the future, but for now...

That's it!

Is GLEAT worth checking out?

All I've ever heard about it is that it's the Puro company that people wind up at after they leave another company.

What's the easiest method watching 90's Michinoku Pro?

I've recently been getting into Michinoku Pro, and while I have found quite a lot of it online across various websites, I feel like full shows are few and far between? I know there's bootleg DVD guys out there too, but are these options pretty much the only ways to find it?

I don't know if Wrestle Universe is really an archive site where it'll have eventually have everything ala NJPW World or IWTV, so I don't know if I should hold out hope for that or not.

Information Needed

Good evening Puro fans, I just signed up for Wrestle Universe and AJPW's streaming service. None of it seems to have english translation, which I can work with and pick up the cues after I've watched for a while. But I was wondering, what is currently going on in the following promotions.

AJPW, NOAH, Marigold and DDT.

I know that AJPW's tag league is going on and I watched the newest release for that, but other than that I don't really know the landscape for these promotions. Any assistance would be a huge help.

Thank you in advance.

Are male puroresu fans in Japan mostly women?

A couple months ago I asked for reccs on which puroresu show to go to while I was in Japan. I went to a DDT show and it was super awesome, but I was surprised that 80% of the audience were adult women!

I don't think this is that unusual in general since it seems pretty similar to male idol culture, but it was nothing like the audience demographic I'm used to in my home country (although the show was at 7pm on a weekday in Kabukicho so I wasn't expecting kids). Is this the case for most male puroresu shows?
