Japanese pro wrestling
Japanese pro wrestling, known as puroresu, is a unique form of professional wrestling that combines athleticism with storytelling. It originated in Japan in the early 20th century and has since evolved into a popular entertainment genre. Wrestlers often portray larger-than-life characters and engage in matches that emphasize both technical skill and dramatic narratives.
The style of puroresu is characterized by its strong emphasis on realism and hard-hitting moves, making it distinct from other wrestling styles. Prominent organizations, such as New Japan Pro-Wrestling and All Japan Pro Wrestling, showcase top talent and host major events that attract fans from around the world.
