Nine Tales Entertainment
Presents…
In collaboration with the many great wrestling companies of Japan.
From Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan
Brief Summary:
Pro-wrestling in Japan is often looked at with a mixed perception from the eyes of Western fans. Some love it, others maybe look at it through rose tinted glasses, and then some either refuse to give it a chance or don’t find it their cup of tea. Regardless, the land of the rising sun is no doubt influential when it comes to wrestling with several Japanese stars making the trip across the pacific. Who can forget the legendary career of Jon Snowmantashi in CWA? Or even more recently in American company Fantasy Wrestling Alliance, with Aka Yueri and Katsu being two examples of Japanese talents winning gold in other countries.
Dozens of foreigners, or “Gaijin” also have found themselves carving their teeth in Japan, whether as a way to get experience on their way to stardom back in their homelands, or some find themselves having a career resurgence. Japan appears like a dream landscape for wrestling with a variety of styles from Puroresu, to King’s Road, hardcore Deathmatches that make the toughest squirm, comedy, and any mix. But, many companies find themselves closed off, untrusting of other companies in their homeland. If tribalism is strong in America, it goes to new levels in Japan at times.
But sometimes, doors are broken open, whether it is through a shared cause or just a chance to put on a great show (And do good business), companies do find themselves working together on super shows. Multi-million dollar Japanese media company Nine Tales Entertainment sees a chance to bring several of Japan’s finest wrestling companies, along with potentially some foreign talent, together in a Supercard in the famous Nippon Budokan. The question is: Who will be part of this big card?
Out of Character Notes:
This show is an idea I have had for a while, with FWA having a mini-Universe with other promotions including many in Japan, I have wanted to do a little one off show where we try to give it a Japanese feel, if you will. This thread is an interest check thread, trying to get potential sign-ups or names of people who want to help put it on.
I’ll likely need match writers (along with anyone willing to help put the card itself together). As well, match graders to help determine match results with me… Trust me, I have PTSD judging matches. If you’re interested in doing those things, state below, or message me on Discord.
We will be using the traditional FWA Grading System, as seen in the Information thread for FWA. It is what the fed is familiar with, and I will try not to butcher it, but no promises!
This is also open to non-FWA members. If anything, I encourage people iffy on joining FWA to join here if you want to see if it is for you.
The show’s card will likely be posted after FWA Anniversary as we’re at our Mania show, Back in Business and FWA Anniversary is a big enough follow up show. So by then the fed will be in enough of a lul period to not overwork people. To help, we’ll also have a 2 week promo period. Then the show will be posted- When it is done.
Promos will be limited to either 2000 words or 2500 max. It will be decided once a team gets together and we put the card together. This includes headers.
The word limit is in place to reduce some of the stress of writing promos and in a way, level the playing field a touch and maybe even make it more approachable to non-FWA members if they want to get involved. I know the grandeur of some promos seem intimidating to some non-FFWA members, but if you want to create a character and try it out, this can be a good jumping off point.
If you have an FWA character and wish to bring them in, just state below. Obviously we have a few Japanese talents and some who can maybe make the jump and adapt to Japan. Or you can create a brand new character following the template below.

Entrance:
The lights of the arena flash a light red as cherry petals fall on the big screen. The camera zooms in towards the entrance area as some smoke builds. After about thirteen seconds Katsu makes her way out, her cape flowing behind her, showing her Kitsune inspired mask. She basks in the red spotlight as fire shoots up from the side of the stage, her arms crossed in front of her with an “X,” hands doing the “wolf-head” gesture. The Huntress spins around and does a throat slashing gesture with her pointer finger as the flames shoot higher before making her way down the ramp.
Moving down the ramp at a somewhat quick pace, Katsu removes her entrance mask to show her regular one and she gives a small head tilt while holding it next to her head. Going around the ring, she hands her mask to a younger fan before sliding onto the apron. One hand on the ropes, she opens up her cape and closes her eyes, keeping a calm aura to her. She quickly drops down into the splits then slides into the ring.
Heading to the nearest corner turnbuckles, Katsu climbs up them and puts one foot on the top rope. She does another throat slash before holding her finger down in an “M” formation. Heading down, she leans down in a superhero-like pose, holding her arms in an “X” in front of her chest. Katsu’s hands again have the wolf gesture before she spins around and heads to her corner.
