Made in Japan: A Monthly Tour of the Joshi Promotions of Japan

[Jay-Ashley]

Many of you are aware that I am a huge fan of Japanese Wrestling more specific Joshi because it got me back into Wrestling as a whole and so I decided to make a monthly recap thread for everyone to look at to either follow, to catch up on the current product as you may have missed a show or three, or you want to get into Japanese Wrestling and have no clue what happened beforehand. That is where this thread comes in. The promotions I am covering are the ones I watch which are World Wonder Ring Stardom or Stardom as many call it, Ice Ribbon, and Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling or TJPW as it commonly known as. So if you have any question or want match suggestions please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer back. So thank you and I hope you enjoy.

Wasn't the Cinderella Tournament for STARDOM the show where a couple of foreign fans decided to try to chant as if it is a Western indy show rather than trying to act appropriate for a Japanese show?

Yes, and it was just awful, man. The show was great, but those drunken and dumb Gaijins kind of messed it up. Stardom even had to tweet about proper etiquette and such.
