JTO (also known asProfessional Wrestling Just Tap Out) is aJapanese professional wrestling promotion and training facility owned byTaka Michinoku.[1] The promotion places an emphasis on a unique style ofpuroresu that combines high-flying wrestling,technical wrestling and variousmartial arts. Most matches are held under submission-only rules.
The promotion was founded by Michinoku after his previous promotion,Kaientai Dojo (now Active Advance Pro Wrestling) dismissed him after he was involved in scandal caused by an extramarital affair.[2][3] JTO held their first show on July 8, 2019 inKorakuen Hall.[4]
Unlike most professional wrestling promotions, their top honor isn't a championship, instead wrestlers who are officially signed to the promotion compete in tournaments and ranking matches under JTO rules, with the top ranking ("King of JTO" for men and "Queen of JTO" for women) considered the highest honor.[5] As of January 2024, those honors are held by Ryuya Takekura and Tomoka Inaba respectively.
The promotion holds partnerships with various other promotions from the Japanese wrestling scene such asWorld Wonder Ring Stardom (Stardom). Tomoka Inaba and Aoi are two of JTO's wrestlers who appeared in several events promoted by Stardom such asNew Blood 1 andNew Blood 2.[6][7]
Wrestlers compete in three separate rankings under JTO rules: the JTO Ranking, the JTO J2 Ranking and the JTO Girls Ranking. The JTO Ranking is the primary ranking for male wrestlers, with the highest ranked wrestler crowned King of JTO. The JTO J2 Ranking is a secondary ranking in which matches are fought under slightly different rules (2 lost points before a TKO instead of 3). The JTO Girls Ranking is the primary ranking for female wrestlers, with the highest ranked wrestler crowned Queen of JTO.
As of January 2024[update], the rankings are as follows.[8][9]
