Hey guys i looked around this board for the Puro thread that used to be around but i couldnt find it so i hope it's okay to ask this question here.

I was just wondering what the Japanese Wrestling Traditions are in Japan. I know about the streamers thrown and the fans being quiet but are there any traditions wrestlers have to stick too?

Thank you in advance.

Mitch.

The only other thing I can name is the belt ceremonies before and after title matches. After, the winner is usually given a trophy and/or check. This works for tournament winners too.

Kinda surprised ROH hasn't stolen that one yet.
