Kawaii as fuck!
Is this... not... Babymetal doing a thing?
No, this is Joshi. Japanese women's wrestling. Like WWE but surprisingly more hardcore????
This is lit! Get it Japan.
I wish I had the energy to find dank wrestling promotions
Not super current on my Joshi. I think I recognize Maki Itoh, but who is that stomping on her?
Pretty sure it's her long time partner Mizuki. Not the same stomp but here's a good one in video.
Pretty sure it's her in the same gear, but her and Riho have similar gear.
Yo did she just do that to someone lying on the ground? My ribcage hurts....
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Not the same stomp but here's a good one in video.
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
What the hell did I just watch
and why do I suddenly need to see more?
Because Joshi wrestling is awesome.
Damn, this does go hard. If we had this in America instead of WWE I'd actually give it a shot
there are so many promotions in the USA that aren't WWE
like nearly every city with more than 5000 people probably has a wrestling promotion
get wrestle universe for like 8ish dollars and it comes with tokyo joshi pro wrestling. aew also has a number of joshi wrestlers. chocopro broadcasts free on youtube, and you can also get stardom world for whatever 900 yen is :)
edit: oh also pro wrestling eve is women's wrestling out of uk and they're awesome. they have an on demand service on youtube and through their own platform and a lot of current stars went through them including a number of joshi stars.
edit again: also a lot of current stars came up through shimmer. it's not running now but you can find good matches on youtube
I haven’t been following for a while, but last I checked there were a number of Japanese women’s wrestlers that are signed with AEW. Riho was the first AEW Women’s World Champion, and Hikaru Shida held the title for the longest so far. They both started their careers with the Ice Ribbon women’s promotion in Japan.
Edit: I’m also pretty sure I’ve seen Riho pull this exact move. She’s light enough that she can fully commit without causing injury. Absolutely brutal to watch, legit knocks the wind out of people.
murder death kawaii 🧡
this pic does hard. i have ruled,
great album cover
What does rule mean?
The rule of this community is that when you find it, you have post something. People include rule in the title so the curious people look it up and then have to post.
That's funny because it isn't true. The rule is to post "before you leave". Look it up, it's true!
Ok, I'm ruled now
Huh, I thought putting rule in the title was part of the rule, but I can’t find a single thing saying so.
I think the original subreddit might have only allowed a title to say "rule". But this community is more creative. I could be wrong though.
thanks a lot, i had to go post because i checked it :p
Creepy long arm
Nope.
No.
That is seriously wrong.
No way.
Bah gawd
