For a while now, I've been watching Gatoh Move, and I enjoy it a lot! I don't think many people in this forum watch it, though. Now that they have launched their new weekly show for Westerners, I think it is a great time to introduce you to it.

Ok let's get this out of the way first:

The Venue


Ichigaya Chocolate Square. This is a dentist's office with mats put down. No ring; the waiting room has been stripped out and fans watch from folding chairs surrounding mats adjacent to windows and outside the window looking in, as you can see. Gatoh Move has fans spectating, but Choco Pro does not.

Alongside her wrestling school, Emi promotes two shows: Gatoh Move and Chocolate Pro Wrestling, both are inter-gender.

Gatoh Move


The flagship. A traditional wrestling show (as traditional as you can be in a dentist's office) with a crowd and focus on matches. When wrestling was allowed, they uploaded a match every day to YouTube. Once this whole corona thing dies down, I expect them to start back up. The announcer is named Pumi. He is actually the money behind the whole show! A lot of now-famous joshi started life or spent a lot of time in Gatoh Move. The most famous are Riho and Hikaru Shida.

Choco Pro
Choco Pro is Emi's twice weekly show designed for Westerners. It's hard to describe because it's unlike anything else ever done. The best I can come up with is wrestling children's show for adults. Everything is done directly to the camera. Emi has said in interviews that she wants the audience to be you at home and that's it. So all action is done directly to the camera. Shows include non-wrestling things like sing-alongs, group activities (Emi taught everyone proper Hindu squat form and then everyone, including you, did reps) and of course, the weekly rock paper scissors tournament for the ultimate prize: a piece of chocolate.

Where to Watch
Right now, since there's no Gatoh Move, we're getting a lot of weird stuff like beer reviews and hair tutorials. We're also getting watch parties and long form interviews (the one with Emi about her time in FMW is amazing). Everything is available on their youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2HtPsU4U7TNSv2mSbPkj0w. They also have a pivotshare that they are abandoning possibly for patreon? They said they want to go to something where you can watch for free and donate.

Thanks for reading so far! For my money, Choco Pro is the best weekly wrestling show, and a great intro to wrestling for a new fan. Here's some songs about gatoh move https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dyzlOAczgk
