[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.

[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
