Well I'm sure the ladies (well teenage girls and girls in their early 20's) in Japan would go crazy over this. Laughing

To be honest that banner picture of all the boys together kiiiinda looks like it could be the cover of a Japanese GV DVD or something.

...Or so I've heard, I mean. You know.

The idea of a teen boy pro-wrestling group doesn't really surprise me that much since many pro-wrestlers in Japan start training at a very young age. Case in point: Mr. No. 6

Still, I'm not sure if this is a good idea in the first place. Based on my first impressions of them, they don't seem to look like they have pro-wrestling skills, and are more of the model/idol group types. (I even wonder if they could even take a bump, which is a necessity in pro-wrestling.)

This idea might work with girls, but I think there's more pressure for aspiring male pro-wrestlers to actually be good in the craft, especially in a country that prides itself of strong style puroresu. And I wonder how this promotion would compete with a lot of the other independent pro-wrestling shows featuring other teenage pro-wrestlers in training.

They better be careful; a couple of stray stiff kicks (we're talking Japanese strong-style here) and their bishounen faces are going to need stitching up. I hope their promoter knows who's going to do business with them and who's going to potato these fellas.

;D No, your personality and blatant ignorance is what's so wrong.

This reminds me of those male hosts that do kick boxing.
