726.12.2023bigfanbigfan6.0Their early deathmatches are worth checking out as spectacles. The piranha, alligator, balloons filled with thumbtacks, circus net and supermarket deathmatches being well worn VHS tapes of mine. That said there are no gems in the undercard of those shows. Something happened around 2006 and lasted until 2010 where they developed a really good roster. There were about 6-10 deathmatch guys perfectly capable of carrying a main event, which were most fluorescent light bulb matches with the occasional gimmick like a scaffold or a shark cage added on. Strong BJ which was some of the more interesting heavyweight matches outside of NOAH. And Men's Teoh would either put together a comedy match or a high flying tag match with various indie talent. They only occasionally had top level amazing matches, but shows were fun to watch start to finish.

1928.02.2023jasvvy9.0A little something for everyone. Still deathmatch focused, which is great for me, but honestly you'll find a bit of everything. Comedy, technical, high-flying, blood and guts. Tremendous promotion with a rich history.

3231.12.2021XXDoubleHHXX10.0BJW is the definition of insanity. I have seen some crazy stuff feature bizzare weapons and live animals from time to time. For 25 years it has been the top alternative wrestling company in Japan and it will continue to be King of the Deathmatches.

5020.12.2020znezaalj10.0Probably the greatest deathmatch promotion in Japan (FREEDOMS is a close second though), have delivered great matches with great wrestlers all over the years and have remained consistent. Their strong division is great along with their partnership with other promotions.
5104.12.2020medouse9.0The greatest deathmatch federation on the face of the earth. All the craziest stunts, that even been recorded on tape, are probably from BJW. Escpecially their stuff from 2000s. Jun Kasai, Abdullah The Butcher and many more are one of my favourite wrestlers till this day. Besides the most ultraviolent content, they also do great "normal rules" matches. If you like fluorescent light tubes, shards of glass, syringes and other crazy stuff, BJW is for you.

5524.08.2020dnmt10.0While they are still the standard when it comes to death matches (although FREEDOMS is rapidly approaching that throne), it is the diversity of BJW that earns them a 10. No other company in the world has such a wide range of styles and characters and then somehow seamlessly blends them together. Do Daisuke Sekimoto, Abdullah Koabayashi, the Brahman Brothers and Shinobu literally have a single thing in common as wrestlers other than the fact that they work for BJW? The death matches are violent yet surprisingly conservative under the (at times literal) smoke and mirrors of lighttube dust, and the strong style matches are some of the most old school and traditional matches happening in this decade (to be honest, the BJW Strong Division reminds me more of 1990's AJPW than current AJPW or NOAH do). In addition, you have Yuya Aoki leading the way for the modern technical junior style, and Takuya Nomura and Fuminori Abe wrestling like BattlARTS is still around. Yet still, on top of all that, BJW books some of the top freelancers in Japan, across all three styles as well, so you can see guys like Yuji Hino or Kohei Sato on the same card as El Lindaman or Jun Kasai. It's absolutely wild. They really have it all, and every card has a little something special, which ends up making them a pretty easy 10 in my book.

6101.11.2019ElPolloLoco8.0I really like how they select and train their own talent, the excellent consistent quality of their "strong" division and the way they promote their younger people. On the other the comedy is not always exactly funny (maybe it's a cultural thing? ) and the deathmatches often go way too far, especially when Ryuji Ito is involved. All in all an excellent promotion overall, albeit with a few quirks.
6230.10.2019soulyss8.0Big fan of the art of Japanese Death Matches, and BJW delivers most of the time. I just have a hard time connecting with the Strong Style division and getting over the culture barrier in their comedy matches. Solid product even if a portion of their talent has exited over creative differences.
6313.10.2019Same Old Same Old9.0Yes, you may know it as "the death match promotion" and no one can deny that, but I'm here to tell you it's much more than that. If you're not a fan of blood and lightubes (oh how does this company love its light tubes), don't worry, BJW has you covered. I'm here to put over it's Strong division, a varied roster of behemoths, brutes and agile strikers that put on some of the best hard-hitting mat wrestling I've seen. I recommend watching any of its G1-style "Strong Climb" tournaments and its consistently solid Strong World Heavyweight title bouts to get a feel for this division. And hey, if you can stand the hardcore style, at least BJW has its own leading brand of it. Also a spot light for their store, clearly appreciating their international fans where every order I've made, big or small has come with extra goodies and personalised letters to myself.

8304.02.2018Sebastian V8.0Big Japan hat es geschafft, sich zu verändern ohne seine Identität zu verlieren. Die Härte ist jedoch geblieben- wenn auch nicht in pausenlosen Deathmatches aber dafür im stiffen Strongstyle der die Liga in Person von Leuten wie Strong BJ prägt. Die Main Events liefern eigentlich immer ab und bis heute ist BJW ein Aushängeschild der Deathmatchszene eben auch weil sie gezeigt haben, dass Deathmatch und technisch gutes Wrestling sich nicht ausschließen und sie dafür auch die richtigen Hybriden an Wrestlern haben. Insgesamt finde ich trotz all dieses Lobes jedoch, dass man BJW sowohl In-Ring als auch vom Unterhaltungswert her und somit auch gesamt nicht mehr als 8 Punkte geben kann. Ein gewisser Abfall seit dem Verlust der Partnerschaften mit WXW und CZW ist schon zu bemerken. Außerdem holt man kaum Fly-Ins. Als Ergebnis dessen ist die Undercard teilweise eher mit unbekannteren Wrestlern besitzt und die Shows drehen sich vor Allem um die Big Matches. Dennoch eine gute Promotion. Für mich die Nummer 4 in Japan nach NJPW, DDT und Dragon Gate ( Von Stardom kenn ich zu wenig um es zu bewerten).

8813.03.2017Cort3z10.0BJW to me is one of the best Indy promotions in Japan. Considering most can't even stay open as long as they have, BJW is right up there with DDT, Noah, AJPW, & New Japan. Everytime they come to Korakuen Hall in Tokyo they have the same attendance numbers and similiar TV deal as New Japan. Adding the Strong Style World Championship to the promotion really helped showcase their Strong Style division and proved that they have the best roster when it comes Strong Style.

9620.10.2016Wrestle fanboy8.0Well they are really phenomenal, it's like a deathmatch that gone too far, too wild, and even to hardcore but they still show it to a fans and personally I love it! Kendo Nagasaki (Kazuo Sakurada) it's a great bookerman, he create something new and something far beyond imagination with Yoshihiro Tajiri as their great junior wrestler for their promotion even famous wrestler such as Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Gran Naniwa, Sabu, Dr. Wagner Jr. , Mr. Pogo, and Mitsuhiro Matsunaga join this phenomenal promotion
9706.10.2016Zeocrymer8.0I am not a fan of hardcore wrestling at all, it's just not my thing. So why am I giving BJW an 8, you're probably thinking? Their strong style division is truly second to none. With people Daisuke Sekimoto and Shuji Ishikawa bringing prestige to this division, I do believe that BJW will establish themselves as the go to place for truly hard-hitting strong style wrestling.

9901.09.2016CGNRavens8.018. 10. 15: Ich kann Big Japan nicht mehr als sechs Punkte geben, und diese sind mit Sicherheit wohl noch zu viel des guten. Der Glanz der vergangenen Tage ist abgeblättert, und dabei kann Big Japan nicht mal wirklich was dafür. Ausfälle, sei es Verletzungen oder plötzliche Rücktritte, haben das gesamte Bild mächtig getrübt. Der Nachwuchs im Death Match Bereich kommt gar nicht nach, man hat immer mehr "Outsiders" im Kader und auch in der Strong-BJ Region ist kaum noch was zu finden. EDIT: 01. 09. 16 Fast ein Jahr später sind es von 6 auf 8 Pkt gestiegen. BJW geht wieder ab, macht dicke Bock und ist für mich meine #2 in Japan momentan.
10024.06.2016ShooterMcShoot5.0In terms of an entertaining promotion, I've never got much from Big Japan. They've always been playing third fiddle to New Japan and All Japan, so they really have no standouts. With the market in Japan not like it was years ago where there was talent in every promotion, I've found it a struggle to get through the last BJPW show I sat through. I'll stick with New Japan and sometimes All Japan.
