Real keen if you can swing this, the SEAd vs Stardom match has this feeling for me and it's my women's MOTY so far, so keen to see more Citrus Wind especially against Asuka

Makoto was really good in it too. I went in thinking the match would be three of the best women's wrestlers in the world and Makoto but she shut me up by being the MVP of the match.

This is probably answered in a bunch of places but I'm lazy: what's the best way to keep up with SEAdLINNNG? Do they have a subscription service? Do they just do ppv?

Only PPV with their Korakuens sometimes being on TV. The PPVs are pretty expensive at ¥3000 a pop but the western fanbase tend to have watch parties on caracal (not that I condone piracy)

I've been making it a point now to catch JTO Girls shows when they pop up. Its a roster of unknown(to me anyway) women of varying skillsets. The younger ones all wrestle like TAKA Michinoku(which makes sense). Its just funny seeing someone in a tutu do one of TAKA's armlock to takedown sequences. Aki Shizuku & Yuu Yamagata appear the vets of the company. I'm not really familiar with either by name or memorable match.

this is the first card I watched:
https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=312057&page=2
-I took and immediate shining to the younger one named 'rhythm' She's got the kind of sassy confidence that I like to see. Plus she's in incredible shape. Jade Cargill grade. Wears a mask like Bandido. Pretty sweet design.
-commentary is TAKA and some guy he roped in at the last minute

https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=311972&page=2
-commentary is TAKA and Tomoka Inaba, who is one the rookies in the main event. It looks like TAKA getting intensely nerdy about wrestling while she starts to get vaguely more interested with each match.
-TAKA calls his own exhibition match against JTO's younger wrestler, Aoi.
-there are ranking matches. TAKA explained what the ranking meant but I didn't understand because my japanese is super limited. I guess there's a title or something that hasn't been established yet.
-Misa Kagura vs. Black Changita is a fuckin war.
-rhythm vs. YuuRI also extremely fierce. Both matches were total rookie on rookie violence. They took care not to directly target the spine, which meant their training was competent.
-the ranking matches also have points deducted for rope escapes. I think they said if you lose 3, you lose the match?
-main event is some rookies vs vets violence. Real awkward moments in the booth.

I like women's wrestling, I like TAKA matches. This is a great fuckin deal. The presentation is closer to what I liked out of Stardom's just straight athletic wrestling before they started towards the more idol based presentation that got them on TV.

Being number one in the rankings gets you a shot at the King (TAKA) or Queen (Aki Shizuku) of JTO.

They've got a show tomorrow main evented by Minoru Suzuki & Aki Shizuku vs Tomoka Inaba & TAKA. Inaba called out Suzuki at their first ever show and she's been needling him ever since.

I finally have Wrestle Universe as I said in the That's J-PW thread, so I would like some recommendations for some cracking good TJPW matches that I might have missed! I did watch Hyper Misao/Jun Kasai and that was fantastic, and I saw a few matches from the Yes! Wonderland 2021 show (namely the Neo Biishiki-Gun match and the one where Maki Itoh tagged against the girl from Nogizaka 46). The Wrestle Universe interface is butt, however it is something I can get around.

Honestly you can watch the rest of Yes! Wonderland, it was great.

If you change your search terms into Japanese, you can search fine.

The 1/4 Korakuen hall has a great match with Itoh/Yamashita, and a pretty good main event if botches don't ruin things for you. Also, Still Incomplete from 4/17 had some barnburners, including Itoh/Tatsumi and Noa/Yamashita

Not strictly TJPW, but on the Kawasaki Strong show from DDT (2/14) there was a great 3 on 3 match that involved Itoh and Mirai Maiumi, and it is definitely worth watching.

I can understand Japanese (just ask anyone who was there the night I was trying to explain about Cavauro to Toru Yano), but the search engine is really strict. It won't use hiragana search terms for katakana results like most web search does or fuzzy search at all (for example, ケニーオメガ will not get you any Kenny Omega, nor will his name in romaji, but ケニー・オメガ does).

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions so far!! I'll be watching Wrestle Princess soon.

the search is balls because very few of the shows are broken up into matches. If you can understand japanese, that's great because a lot of the charm is from the wrestlers bantering. Also Raku's mastery over time and space.

Oh good, if you understand Japanese then I can recommend 2018's UP UP TOKYO JOSHI (Pro-Wrestling) (Placeholder): EVERYONE UPPER KICK TOGETHER! in good conscience

https://www.ddtpro.com/universe/videos/4208

This was a special show they did in collaboration with the Up Up Girls (Pro-Wrestling)'s sister idol group, the main Up Up Girls (Placeholder). It includes feature singles matches for each of the then-new UUG (including the fourth, Pinano Pipipipi, who went by Hinano at the time), an incredibly inspiring match from Nodoka Oneesan (the current Nodoka Tenma in her old children's show host gimmick), and Sakisama and Azusa Christie honoring two Up Up Girls for also being named Saki and Azusa

Also if you liked Hyper Misao in her Jun Kasai match, her Neo Biishiki-gun arc is pretty much my favorite wrestling storyline ever and it starts off with 2/23/2019's "Be Updated to The Future, The Future, The Future": https://www.ddtpro.com/universe/videos/5732 (The Hyper Misao and Sakisama matches in particular)

The Hyper Misao "retirement" ceremony is an emotional rollercoaster. I don't have the link for it but its great. The noise the wrestlers around the ring make when she swerves everyone on the retirement and gets married instead was pure joy.
