[Kyushu Pro] Summer Break - 29/06, 20/07, and 13/08 Recaps

Summer Break Kyushu Pro took a little break after the Mentai retirement show, was active in June, but then pretty quiet through July and early August. Japanese companies, of course, have often run shorter schedules over the year than their traditional American equivalents – though talent safety concerns now affect the big American companies, too. The recap batch today wraps up the end of June, the only show in July (an untelevised community show), and the first show of August.

[Kyushu Pro] A New Era Dawns - 21/06 and 22/06 Recaps, plus Attendance Analysis

The Irresistible Rise of Kyushu Pro Before starting the recaps proper, I saw stats gathered by F.G.C. (https://x.com/FGC648948974342/status/1940307839060426897) on puro company attendances through the first half of 2025. Kyushu Pro comes out very well: in terms of total attendance (30,434), it is the fifth-biggest men’s company (behind NJPW, Dragongate, NOAH, and AJPW) and eighth-biggest overall (adding in Stardom, Marigold, and TJPW). That’s respectable – but the average attendance is eve

[Kyushu Pro] The Most Over Wrestler In Puro Today Retires - 11/05 Recap

Kyushu Pro Mentai Kid Retirement Memorial Event – Kyushu Ba Genki Ni Goodbye 11/05/2025 Held at the Fukuoka Island City Forum, with an announced attendance of 1,430, good for the third biggest show of the year. The venue looks very full as far as these things go. They set this up as one of their “big events” – room lights off, full lighting rig. I actually usually perhaps prefer their more informal Gymnasium setups, but for this occasion it’s fitting. Fifteen wrestlers are slate

[Kyushu Pro] The Ghosts of Mentai Past - 3 x recent event recaps, plus a dive into the Mentai Kid archives

Three event recaps and digging into the Mentai Kid archives in light of his retirement.   Kyushu Pro AEON Omura Shopping Center 30th Anniversary 03/05/2025 Held at AEON Omura Shopping Center in Omura, Nagasaki Prefecture. Not aired. KPW do a number of these “community-side” events, presumably as a result of sponsorships or where there is a charitable upside. No announced attendance, and it’d be hard to know because the ring (per photos) is literally in the mall forecourt next t

[Kyushu Pro] Chigusa vs Dump in 2025 (???) and Mentai Kid Conquers New Japan - 27/04 and 29/04 recaps and a selection from Dontaku

Kyushu Pro Super Genki Festival ~ 17th Anniversary 27/04/2025 The biggest show of the year so far, in Fukuoka City’s Fukuoka West Japan General Exhibition Hall’s New Hall. Declared attendance of 2,576. This is a pretty big show by modern standards.

NOAH had
