    Modern Joshi Wrestling

    I'm a huge fan of Joshi as well, does anyone know what Joshi promotions are still having shows on a normal basis? I have become a huge Manami Toyota fan, where is she active at right now? Thank you.

    JWP, NEO, and LLPW are still active.

    As far as I know, Toyota is free now though she's currently the JWP champ.

    The problem with the current status of joshi is that the most of the big names are free agents, always looking for a better spot whatever the cards they are booked, and not passing the torch to younger talents.

    I believe they really need a strong company to controll those egos.

    I'm surprised TNA hasn't come calling for any of them.

    Reminds you of the state of the business Stateside during the late 80s and early 90s where the veterans weren't willing to get the next generation ready for there to be a business in the future, don't it?

    There is some good young talent out there but they need to gain experience and learn from the veterans in order to blossom the joshi scene into what it was in the 90s.

    I haven't been following Joshi for a while, but I know that NEO is still around.
