	[QHQ] Japanese Puroresu
		Puroresu is not as artful as lucha libre, it is based more around the primordial conflict of man against man; two equal creations testing courage, spirit, might and skill.
		Puroresu is not simply about wrestling, but about who will show the most heart, who's fighting spirit is irrepressible, and who's courage will remain undaunted throughout the match.
		Japanese puroresu still generally sticks to the concept of the morality play, but it is more influenced by the culture of the East.

	BBC - h2g2 - Puroresu - Pro Wrestling Japanese Style
		As a result there are a few differences between puroresu and the US style of pro-wrestling (which is arguably the most commonly recognised form of pro-wrestling in the world today) which are worthy of mention.
		Another notable difference is that in puroresu (as opposed to US-style pro-wrestling) the grapplers are less likely to pull their blows.
		The intense physical competition and no-nonsense style of puroresu are perhaps a result of the fact that Japanese fans expect their wrestling icons to pour their hearts and souls into their performances.

	Joshi Puroresu
		It was not until a decade later when men's pro-wrestling was recovering from Rikidozan's death that joshi puroresu reestablished itself with the formation of "Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling Association." Their appointed star, Yukiko Tomoe, won their title and even the NWA Women's title in 1968.
		However, Japanese pro-wrestling was on the decline as a whole and the fragmented and inconsistent nature of joshi puroresu led to a gradual decline for GAEA.
		Despite the struggles of the puroresu scene and the joshi puroresu scene in particular, "NEO Japan Ladies' Wrestling" opened its doors in 1998.

		Die-hard American puroresu fans are probably pissed right now about having Sports Entertainment invade Japan, but the jaded American puroresu fans should be happy for their Japanese jaded counterparts because American puro fans and Japanese WWF fans are of the same kind - both seek the alternative and both tend to be anti-establishment.
		The interesting thing is you would think that these are all "new" fans, but most tend to be longtime puroresu fans who are bored by the old ways of Japanese pro-wrestling.
		It's so funny reading these guys on messageboards in Japan because their attitude is the same as majority of American puroresu and American "smark" fans.

		Although he'd done much for puroresu in the last ten years, he died leaving many projects unfinished.
		Puroresu has always been less gimmicky than American pro-wrestling, and Antonio Inoki has done a lot to try to elevate its status to a real fighting form.
		This is due also to the gradual disintegration of both Baba's AJPW after his death, and the decline of the NJPW.

	What Got You Into Puroresu?
		However, what really got me into looking at puro sites like this one and looking for tapes was the pimping of the Japanese style/wrestlers by many people on the net and the fact that American/Canadian wrestlers were obviously using the style, with many like Benoit, Jericho and Eddy having wrestled extensively in Japan.
		My knowledge has come from loving puroresu so much, I will sit at the computer hours on end researching stuff most people have never heard of.
		I actually got into puroresu around 1997 or 1998 after reading the "Report from the Rising Sun" segments in wrestling magazines.

		This was one of the better comedy matches I've seen because, while the comedy was constant, they did better and better wrestling moves and sequences as the match went on.
		The finish had it's point which I can respect, but in grading the match I also have to say that it clearly hurt the overall quality because they hadn't even reached the point where the near falls could be the finish.
