Pure-J (ピュアＪ, Pyua J) is a Japanese Joshi puroresu (women's professional wrestling) promotion established on August 11, 2017, by Command Bolshoi.

History[edit]

With the closure of JWP Joshi Puroresu on April 2, 2017, it was announced that Command Bolshoi will be in charge of a new promotion Pure-J. It was also confirmed that Pure-J would retain control of the Daily Sports Women's Tag Team and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championships.[2] Pure-J held it first event on August 11, 2017.[3]

On October 9, 2017, Pure-J crowned their first Openweight Champion, Hanako Nakamori, where Nakamori defeated Manami Katsu in the finals of a 12-woman tournament to become the inaugural champion.[4] Since then, there have been 7 reigns, with Leon being the current champion in her second reign.[5]

On April 21, 2019, Bolshoi held her retirement show from professional wrestling, where she participated in a gauntlet match that ended in time limit draw.[6]

On May 27, 2020, it was announced that Pure-J joined to Independent Wrestling TV (IWTV), a streaming company which airs independent promotions shows.[7]
