Kyushu Pro Wrestling

[10.0] "Hard not to root for them considering their innovative approach to pro wrestling and community building. Very affordable if not occasionally free shows aimed at anyone but especially families in southern Japan who can't afford to attend other wrestling events if they have large families. The money they do make is from sponsors & merch sales, which mostly goes back into paying talent & into the promotion. They work with regional governments to get venue deals in exchange for community building efforts, philanthropy & aid. Not only do the wrestlers provide entertainment they often help out with gardens, do seminars at local schools, help promote small family businesses, and more! On top of that wrestling wise their shows are good quality with a good amount of fun involved, although Batten Burabura might be too much for some people."

[10.0] "Non-profit fed that tours Kyushu (and, much more rarely, elsewhere). Mixture of really capable veterans and a few homegrown guys with real promise - as of 2025, Kodai Nozaki and Jet Wei. The crowds are very respectable and really hot - and it's all family-friendly and lovely stuff. Watch, if nothing else, for a Mentai Kid entrance (alas, he's retiring in May 2025). Model federation."

[8.0] "You may have never heard of Kyushu Pro, but they run shows with big crowds, have awesome characters and really good matches."

[7.0] "Although Kyushu pro is light on storylines it is still a good promotion to follow. It has a solid roster of local talent who are all great workers including Tajiri, Mentai Kid and Naoki Sakurajima. Every match is an easy watch and always of a professional standard. Great production and decent crowds too."

[8.0] "For a regional independent company their roster is quite phenomenal. Accomplished veterans (Junji, Chikuzen, Sasaki, Mentai, Genkai) an all-time legend (Kanemoto) and a future superstar (Nozaki)."
