An occasional series in which, in a bid to further my spotty
knowledge of Japanese wrestling promotions, I watch a recent event and
assess whether or not I'd watch regularly given the time, money and
ability to access.
Promotion: Japanese Women Pro-Wrestling Project (JWP)
Event: Tsubasa Kuragaki 15th Anniversary ~ WINGS!, Shinjuku FACE, Tokyo, 14th October 2013.
What did I know about the promotion going in?: Practically nothing. Whether through deliberate mass self-denial or the lack of quality information and media out there, joshi puroresu in 2014 is not the phenomenon of the late 1980s and early 1990s when legends such as Manami Toyota, Kyoko Inoue, Aja Kong and Bull Nakano routinely tore down houses and enthralled critics into the admission that women's wrestling was much more exciting and visceral than that colossal boob Hulk Hogan and his worn-out routine.
