Since it happened, the discussion of the Final of the TJPW Princess Cup has been seemingly never-ending, at least in the online circles that I tend to inhabit. The match itself, between former Princess of Princess Champion Yuka Sakazaki and Miu Watanabe, has not faced nearly as much analysis as the final result. Many were left confused and even angry by it, feeling a promotion that had flirted with novelty leapt back into the safe and known. However, I would argue that, far from being confusing, the Princess Cup tournament as a whole has been been a simple story, and one that TJPW has told well.
Thanks for writing this, as someone very new to TJPW this year I went from not knowing who Miu was to her being one of my favourite women wrestlers after that tournament. 'Star-making' is the right word, you don't give someone that much of a push - even if they don't get the gold - without having something in mind for them in the future.
Hope you write more of these, love your style and loved your flight of 5 ep on wrestleinn.
