Welcome to Puroresu Gate, a weekly feature where we review attendance figures of Puroresu and Joshi promotions in the most well-known venues in Japan.
This week, we are looking at the 290-seat Shin-Kiba 1st Ring arena. A popular venue among Joshi promotions and smaller Puroresu promotions, this quant little arena was first opened in 2001 and was considered to be the unofficial home venue for World Wonder Ring Stardom for many years.
Pro Wrestling Zero1 has had a few rough years financially speaking and the horrific injury suffered by the promotions founder Shinjiro Otani in April 2022 has only added to the company’s woes. However, the promotion is still putting on fantastic events such as the one held at Shin-Kiba this week which was highlighted by an Intercontinental Tag Team Title match with Yasu Kubota and Hide Kubota facing off against Daisuke Sekimoto and Rikiya Fudo.
