IWTV Adds Japanese Deathmatch Company FREEDOMS to Line-Up

For the past few years, IndependentWrestling.tv (IWTV) – formerly Powerbomb.tv – has built a catalog of some of the most important indie promotions in the United States, as well as other top tier indies from around the world. On Thursday they added another huge promotion, announcing that arguably Japan’s most brutal deathmatch company, Pro Wrestling FREEDOMS, was coming to the network on June 1, 2020.

In a press release on Thursday, IWTV stated:

Japanese independent wrestling powerhouse FREEDOMS is coming to IWTV.

The promotion, which is known for its hard hitting style and brutal death matches, will be releasing 15+ events from its 2019 catalog starting Monday, June 1.

The library features Japanese death match legends Jun Kasai and Masashi Takeda, plus Takashi Sasaki, Toru Sugiura, Ciclope, Miedo Extremo and more.

You can watch FREEDOMS on June 1 with your IWTV subscription.

Pro Wrestling FREEDOMS was founded in 2009 by Takashi Sasaki, a deathmatch specialist who had been working for Big Japan Wrestling (BJW) since 2005 after spending the previous decade with DDT Pro. Over the years, FREEDOMS has become Japan’s premiere deathmatch company, forming an alliance with the US’ Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) that has seen both companies trade stars and co-promote events together. Some of FREEDOMS’ top stars include deathmatch legend and 4x King of FREEDOM World Champion Jun Kasai, Masashi Takeda, Toru Sugiura, and Daisuke Masaoka. Pro Wrestling FREEDOMS is the latest promotion to jump to IWTV, following recent partnerships with GCW, Sendai Girls, DEFY Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling, Absolute Intense Wrestling, and many more.
