I saw one of their shows in the cagematch front page and was intrigued. Not sure how it happened but I started watching their latest show completely blind, looking stuff up as I went. Sportiva Entertainment is a pro wrestling promotion based in Nagoya. I was surprised to find out that they hold their shows in a bar called Sportiva Arena. Their gimmick is that every Wednesday night they sell hot curry and rice and hold a small wrestling show, called Sportiva Wednesday Curry Pro Wrestling. I was lucky to see that they upload all of their shows on their Youtube channel.
I have to say I am pretty lucky that they upload their shows on Youtube for free, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to watch their show at all. Lots of smaller Japanese indie companies like to upload their shows on obscure Japan-only streaming services, or have their shows PPV-only, which is too expensive a cost for a broke uni student like me to justify.
Now when I first learned of this gimmick I was a bit worried about the wrestling of this show. But I am happy to say that, despite all the gimmicks, the tiny size of the bar and the ramshackle production, I found their wrestling to be surprisingly good! Decent solid wrestling. Intimate cozy feeling. Go through the matches.
