The 10th annual Tokyo Princess Cup tournament is over, momentous occasion for a lot of reasons, and a genuinely great performance in the final. Share your thoughts here.

Do you watch TJPW? Why or why not?

Who did you hope was going to win? Who did you expect was going to?

    Great stuff. I’d watch a lot more wrestling from Japan if the shows didn’t start so late/early where I am. Especially TJPW/Stardom.

    This could be a great place to discuss the event itself. I’d pin the thread but I think some instances are still struggling to see pinned posts on Kbin :/

      I love TJPW and DDT, but I’m still at work when the shows are live. My main reason for being excited for All In is that I’ll actually be home to watch it.

    And is the trophy in the pic the one they gave to the winner of the tournament? I think that’s one of the best trophies I’ve ever seen.

    I think Yamashita winning the Princess Cup was long overdue. It’s not like she isn’t booked strong, but they’ve been using her as a means to put over other talent in tournaments for a literal decade. A win for Kamiyu would have been amazing, but the effort she showed certainly made her look strong. From the first move, Kamiyu knew what she was up against, and she left everything in the ring. I hope she’s proud of the performance she put on.
