On this month's bonus episode, Andy looks back at where it all began! Kicking off our rewind series, we revisit Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling’s first year of operation, breaking down all seven shows from 2013 and tracing the early identity of the promotion as it found its footing. From humble beginnings and mat wrestling roots to the first roster members, early rivalries, and the foundation of what TJPW would become, this episode explores how the company’s DNA was formed. With the anniversary of TJPW’s first-ever mat wrestling show falling this week, there’s no better time to rewind to the debut year and start at the very beginning!
