Joshi is Japanese women's wrestling. A form of puroresu, it focuses more on in-ring action than one might typically find in WWE while embracing different forms of storytelling and character work.

Since the last joshi thread was removed, we'll set some rules. Only post wrestlers over 18. Matches and shows are welcome. Images, clips, and gifs are welcome but let's try to keep it clean and avoid gravure.

Note to mods: There are people in the community who are going to try to report this because joshi threads make them seethe because they can't stand women's wrestling. But this is very much on topic and we will do our best to keep to the rules of this site. We tend to be well behaved.

Stardom, definitely. Which is good in your case because it also emphasizes actual wrestling.
The waifufagging is usually TJPW. Which is cute, but is really mostly just wrestling in the abstract sense.

Nothing changed I guess, thanks.

I do hope you'll check it out, I haven't watched the latest big show (and I haven't seen it available yet but I'll post it here when it is) but I heard great things about it.

How long until announcement comes out that Tam is the head booker for Stardom?

Latest Stardom show - first three matches are nothing great but the rest of the show is fire.
This is the show to watch if you want to get your feet wet with Stardom.

Absolute underappreciated legend.
Judging from her match at ASGQ2025, she certainly doesn't seem to be retiring due to not being able to go anymore.

Mayu has left stardom and Tam has retired.
Let's see which player will rise from the ashes to be the next draw

You mean they got the MARIGOLD ICON MAYU IWATANI
This means Marigold will become more viable. I'm increasingly considering dumping my Bushiroad subscriptions and moving entirely to Wrestle Universe.

Wrestle Universe is the better option since it has 3 joshi promotions. PLus noah /ddt as well.
Luckily njpw /stardom is easy to pirate

Kinda becoming a no-brainer at this point because NJPW is dead and have a feeling Stardom peaked with its last show.

Mayu seemed rather emotional before she stepped foot in a Marigold ring to face Nanae Takahashi for the last tume.

If you were going to start a joshi fed, and you could choose any 15 joshi past or present, who would make the list?

Not the person you responded to but it's tough to say, personally. I've seen some great select matches from the past but have mostly just watched Stardom and a bit of TJPW and Marigold personally.
For me, half the fun of modern joshi is watching wrestlers develop and grow. It's part of why I find Marigold particularly interesting at the moment because most of the roster is very inexperienced. For me, I find that creates great opportunities to surprise people.
