Catch the Wave (Japanese:キャッチ・ザ・ウェーブ,Hepburn:Kyatchi za U~ēbu) is an annualprofessional wrestling tournament promoted by thePro Wrestling Wavepromotion. It has been held since 2009 and takes place between the end of April and the beginning of August. As up until March 2013 there were no singleschampionships in Pro Wrestling Wave, Catch the Wave was effectively the top singles achievement in the promotion. The tournament is contested inround-robin format with the winners of each block advancing to the semifinals. From 2010 to 2012, the tournament included a "Loser Revival"battle royal, where already eliminated wrestlers battle for the fourth and final spot in the semifinals of the tournament.[1] This system allowed the tournament to be won twice by a wrestler, who was originally eliminated in the round-robin section.[1][2] From 2011 onwards, the tournament has concluded with an award ceremony.[2] The winner of the main tournament earns the title of "Nami Onna" (波女, "Wave Woman") and¥1,000,000.[3][4] From 2014 to 2016, Wave also held a separate Catch the Wave tournament for rookie wrestlers, running concurrently with the main tournament.[5][6]

The rookie version of Catch the Wave started on May 29 with six participants, including five outsiders; Konami from Office Kana/Reina Joshi Puroresu, Maya Yukihi and Yuka fromIce Ribbon, Meiko Tanaka from World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana and Yako Fujigasaki fromJWP Joshi Puroresu. The tournament took place in asingle-elimination format with Konami and Yuka earning automatic spots to in the semifinals. Matches had a ten-minute time limit in the tournament. In case of a time limit draw, the match would enter a five-minute overtime, where the match can be won with only a two-count. If the match again ended in a time limit draw, it would be restarted with no time limit in a match that can be won with only a one-count. The winner of the tournament would receive¥500,000 and a shot at theJWP Junior andPrincess of Pro-Wrestling Championships.[6] Both of the tournament's finalists were injured before the final match with Meiko Tanaka dislocating her right elbow and Yuka suffering acervical spinal cord contusion andsubarachnoid hemorrhage. As Yuka was injured first, Wave originally awarded Tanaka the final with abye, declaring her the winner of the tournament.[108] However, on the final day of the tournament, Gami instead announced that they were postponing the final match until both wrestlers were able to return to the ring.[12] The final eventually took place on October 30.[26]

The 2018 Catch the Wave took place between March 11 and May 4. The tournament featured twelve wrestlers in two blocks of six, the Crazy Block and the Violence Block. In the tournament a win was worth two points, a draw one point and a loss none. On April 7,Hikaru Shida announced she would be dropping out to receive surgery on a distal tibia fracture,[148] forfeiting the rest of her matches. The top wrestler from each block was to advance to the finals, however both blocks ended in ties. Because Violence Block ended in a three-way tie, the tiebreaker was determined to be a gauntlet match where the first woman to win two consecutive falls would advance.[149]
