All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) was one of two wrestling promotions (the other being New Japan Pro-Wrestling) to split off from the Japan Pro Wrestling Alliance (JWA) in the 1970s. All Japan was established in 1972. It competed with NJPW for supremacy in the wrestling field, employing a more "real sport"-based approach to professional wrestling presentation and angles than NJPW's more WWE-like "sports entertainment" atmosphere (although, ironically, everything else about the promotion, primarily the wrestling style, was much more Americanized than New Japan). It was founded by Giant Baba, who gained a reputation as a booker for his ability to slowly but surely build talent up into superstars.AJPW was known for having a relatively small ensemble of top wrestlers at any given time: The 1980s were defined by the wars between the teams of Jumbo Tsuruta & Genichiro Tenryu against Riki Choshu in the heavyweight division, with some spectacular showings in the junior heavyweight division by Tiger Mask II, a talented wrestler who was given the Tiger Mask gimmick recently bought from NJPW. American superstar Stan Hansen installed himself as a main eventer, and remains a huge celebrity in Japan to this day. AJPW also had a deal with the American organization NWA, so hometown hero Jumbo had numerous opportunities to churn out classic matches with American greats like Harley Race, Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat. After Choshu left for NJPW, Jumbo and Tenryu began feuding with each other in a series of classics.The 1990s, however, are the best-remembered era of AJPW. After Tenryu jumped ship (to the short-lived Super World Sports, which cross-promoted with the WWF but ultimately failed; Tenryu never returned to AJPW while Baba was alive), Giant Baba had Tiger Mask II dramatically unmask and enter the heavyweight division under his real name, Mitsuharu Misawa. Misawa took on the role of plucky underdog against Jumbo, and after Jumbo's health cut the feud short Misawa became the promotion's top star, with his former partner Toshiaki Kawada becoming his archenemy and foil. The extended feud of the 90's featuring Misawa and Kawada, alongside the supporting players Kenta Kobashi, Akira Taue, and Jun Akiyama, led to a lengthy series of matches that are well-known for receiving copious five star ratings from Dave Meltzer, wrestling's most notable critic.The down side of all of this main event quality was that AJPW had a notoriously shallow roster. Misawa, Kobashi, Kawada, and Taue (also known as the "Four Pillars") were the top of the heap for an entire decade; in that time, Akiyama failed to satisfactorily break through to the top level. The main events were filled out by Foreign Wrestling Heels such as "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, Johnny Ace, Gary Albright and Stan Hansen. The undercard wrestlers and their matches were largely held to be very forgettable, and all of the Meltzer-endorsed classics involved some combination of Misawa, Kawada, Kobashi, Taue and Akiyama. Additionally, the promotion's later years started a Lensman Arms Race of Finishing Moves that is credited with kicking off the bigger-is-better attitude toward offense. While matches in the early 1990s were known for their epic storytelling, the late 1990s were characterized by death-defying falls on concrete and dangerous head drops (culminating in Kenta Kobashi's famous Burning Hammer).After Giant Baba's death in 1999, Misawa started his own promotion, Pro Wrestling NOAH, and took all of the AJPW native roster with him except for Kawada and older veteran Fuchi. The company was eventually taken over by former NJPW star Keiji Mutoh, who spent the entire 2000s decade trying to drag the company out of the financial hole created by Misawa's departure. This era, called "Puroresu Love", saw the AJPW turn into a more sports entertainment-based company, getting working agreements with all sorts of merchandising sponsors and having part in bizarre experiments like the first WRESTLE-1 and the more successful HUSTLE. It also featured a improvement in the dojo and a bigger openness in order to revitalize its roster, producing new talents and bringing freelancers from the independent circuit and abroad. Opinions aside about its quality, the Puroresu Love was a technically successful era for AJPW, as it saved it from the closure and gave it back its place among the big promotions.In 2011, Mutoh would resign his presidency of All Japan, and was succeeded by Masayuki Uchida. Mutoh's decision to resign came after he took the blame for a real-life incident where TARU assaulted Super Hate backstage at a All Japan Pro Wrestling show, which led to Super Hate suffering a stroke after competing in a match.2012 would see Mutoh sell the promotion to IT magnate Nobuo Shiraishi and his Speed Partners IT firm. After declaring himself company president ahead of schedule while Mutoh and others were on excursion to Canada, Shiraishi went on to publicly badmouth other wrestling promotions, a cardinal sin which alienated AJPW from the rest and left the company stuck for freelance talent. To make things worse, Mutoh took himself and his allies in the company to reform WRESTLE-1, with AJPW barely scraping together a roster after some deft freelance acquisitions, including the return of Akiyama, young star Go Shiozaki, and sumo legend Akebono Taro, among others. It couldn't stop the damage being done, however, and by 2013, the company was playing to audiences of 100-200 people outside of Tokyo.The final straw for the relatively newly-minted roster, however, was Shiraishi's continued craziness and egocentrism, and its effect on business and the All Japan legacy, which led to Akiyama garnering Motoko Baba's support and financial backing in an unprecedented move, effectively seizing control of the operation as Shiraishi was preparing to declare bankruptcy. All Japan Pro Wrestling relaunched in 2014 under its English name, after identifying itself as "Zen Nihon Puroresu" for 42 years, with Akiyama as president, and wrestlers like Suwama and Fuchi in directorial positions. The company now has the arduous task of rebuilding ahead of it, though recent renewals in crowd numbers and new sponsorships have revitalised it. Meanwhile, new talent acquisitions like Kento Miyahara and Yohei Nakajima have helped the company stay fresh and begin to plan for the future, as it attempts to emulate the legendary booking of Giant Baba.All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling was a separate organisation. | |

Lesser Star | |
| All Japan Pro Wrestling (Wrestling) / int_1ae12b1d | comment |
Lesser Star: Akira Taue. Misawa, Kobashi & Kawada are all workrate legends for their famed abilities in the ring. Taue, by contrast, was merely above average, and often looked clumsy and ungainly in the ring compared to the others. He's well-known as the least-gifted of the four, and most of his Five-Star matches were tag bouts involving the others (in fact, every single one of them, including his lone one-on-one Fiver, involved Misawa). He still had some classics, but they were never on the level of the singles combos of the other three. | |

Lensman Arms Race | |
| All Japan Pro Wrestling (Wrestling) / int_53ecf83f | comment |
Lensman Arms Race: AJPW was one of the bigger victims (after the U.S. indie scene) during the development of the King's Road wrestling style. After the original finishers "wore off" and guys started recovering from them more quickly, newer, more devastating finishers had to be invented. Then another generation came out. Mitsuharu Misawa likely died because of extended usage of this, and the rest of the main eventers from then are near-crippled as well. | |

Tournament Arc | |
| All Japan Pro Wrestling (Wrestling) / int_8e971de4 | comment |
Tournament Arc: Their best known singles competition is the round robin known as the Champion Carnival, where the winner receives a shot at the Triple Crown belt. The tag league variations could be considered better known if not for the fact a few other companies run them since they're all following the JWA. | |

Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object | |
| All Japan Pro Wrestling (Wrestling) / int_b121a71e | comment |
Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object Until Keiji Mutoh's era, All Japan was a predominantly heavyweight company, and used to feature them and superheavyweights pitted against each other. The fact that its founder was Giant Baba makes it more clear. Akebono and Big Daddy Voodoo were similarly gigantic wrestlers from opposite factions, and clashed several times, with Akebono pinning him most of the times. In 1987, Baba faced a fellow giant, Pakistani karateka Raja Lion, in a Different Style Fight. Luckily for the crowd, Baba won the fight by submission. | |

Irony No one was happy about the Bruiser Brody situation in WWC, All Japan guys least of all, but morality aside the loss of foreign talent that resulted and nearly killed that company didn't teach All Japan, who nearly fell into the same booking complacency.

| All Japan Pro Wrestling (Wrestling) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy Yoshihiro Tajiri and The Great Muta are both expies of the Great Kabuki. Muta did it first, did it much more closely and added much more to the gimmick, the point there ended up being more Muta expies than Kabuki expies but he was still impressed enough with Tajiri to form a tag team with him. With his bald head, wrestling championship wins and high-impact moves, Taiyo Kea is one to Kurt Angle. It helps that their faces are very look alike. | |

Follow the Leader Ring of Honor openly admitted to drawing heavily from All Japan's round robins for its own Field Of Honor and Round Robin Challenge events. A bizarre unsuccessful example. In 2012, New Japan Pro Wrestling's new MMA-loving owner Kidani forced the team Laughter 7 to the roster to give some shoot-style flair to the company; unsurprisingly, the stunt failed and Kidani had to back down from his position. A year later, All Japan Pro Wrestling's new MMA-loving owner Shiraishi proclaimed he would turn AJPW into shoot-style and would mix it MMA; unsurprisingly, the idea was rejected by everybody and Shiraishi had to (partially) back down from his position. Even Kidani himself called at the move. | |
