If you thought the WWE was intense, you haven’t witnessed Stardom, the professional women’s wrestling league in Japan.

While the WWE’s Wrestle Mania involves a lot of violent action, Stardom consists of real, full-on body slams, kicks, and bright, colorful costumes.

Japanese women’s professional wrestling is an entertainment show that involves a dance-routine performance before every highly intense wrestling match.

Stardom was founded in 2010, five years after the All Japan Women’s Pro Wrestling came to a close after the president became ill.

Stardom became popular quickly after it was founded. Here are some of the most intense moments from professional women’s wrestling in Japan.
