History
Actwres girl'Z was founded in 2015 under a similar concept to JDStar's "Athress" . The promotion's roster is currently made up mostly of Japanese idols and former Stardom wrestlers as well as other members of the entertainment industry. The promotion's first show was held on May 31, 2015, at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring.[1] On August 7, 2016, former All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling star Yumiko Hotta was appointed as an advisor.[3] In 2018, the promotion worked together with Hello Kitty and ran a show at the Japanese Hello Kitty themed amusement park, Sanrio Puroland.[4] 2018 continued to be a landmark year for the promotion as they had their first ever show at Korakuen Hall.[5] The promotion initially only ran a few events per year, but grew to having multiple events per month with a record of 32 events in 2018. The group while initially only running in Tokyo, Japan has since held events in Osaka, Nagoya and Saitama.[1]
In 2019, the company officially split into two brands, Beginning and Color's. Beginning was a more traditional wrestling brand with more experienced wrestlers, while Color's featured more rookie wrestlers. This signified a shift and acted as a bit of a soft reboot for Actwres girl'Z.
As of May 2020, Actwres girl’Z have launched their own VOD service available on tablet, smartphone, or computer.[6]
In 2020, Actwres girl'Z launched Action Ring Girl'Z, a "pro wrestling action fantasy".[7] The project is more entertainment focused, and features factions of space pirates, samurai, and magical girls in search of three sacred treasures.[8]
In November 2021, Actwres girl'Z announced the dissolution of their Color's and Beginning brands, in favor of a more entertainment-based product. On February 13, 2022, the company ran their first ACTwrestling show under their new format of no longer being pro wrestling but a theatrical performance based on pro wrestling.[9]
On July 3, 2023, a business partnership with Best Body Japan Pro Wrestling was announced. This ceased in March 2024.[10][11]
On December 15, 2023, a business partnership with All Japan Pro Wrestling was announced where "Actwres Time" would be held usually as the pre-show featuring a dance opening along with a showcase match performance.[12]
In April 2024 a mass exodus happened as 6 major talents left the promotion along with the at the time advisor Fuka, due to this Actwres Girl'z was almost shut down in the process however it was decided to continue on in a new direction. On June 14, 2024, a new chapter was written as a video aired explaining the new storyline "In April 2024, Actress World appears to have been destroyed by an alien extraction bomb. However, the people of Actress World are not dead. What remains of Actress World is changing into a world ruled by violence" Along with the narration, the players who had left were shown to have been abducted by UFOs and a new Heel group was formed in the "Actwres Killer'z" led by MARU along with ACT, Mari, Yufa, Great Asako and more to display this violent style. A face group "Hero Army" was formed to fight them off led by Marino Saihara and featuring Naru, Sakura Mizushima, Kanamic and more.[13]
In July 2024, Princess Tenko was named as an ambassador of Actwres Girl'z with her debut appearance set for August 14 at Korakuen Hall.[14]
On October 1, 2024, Princess Tenko's white lion king was named as commissioner of Actwres Girl'z and a new title was announced "KING of RING Entertainment Championship".[15]
