Pro Wrestling Freedoms (プロレスリングFREEDOMS, Puroresuringu Furīdamuzu), also known simply as Freedoms (stylized in capital letters as FREEDOMS), is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion based in Chigasaki, Kanagawa. Founded by Takashi Sasaki in 2009, the promotion's name is derived from its founding philosophy of letting wrestlers choose their own fighting style, or affording them the "freedom" of choice.
History
Following the closure of Apache Pro-Wrestling Army (Apache Pro) on August 8, 2009, Apache Pro's promoter Takashi Sasaki announced the creation of Pro Wrestling Freedoms (Freedoms) with Gentaro, Jun Kasai, Kumai, Mammoth Sasaki and The Winger.
Over the years, Freedoms has become one of Japan's premier deathmatch companies, alongside Big Japan Pro Wrestling. They formed an alliance with the American promotion Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) that has seen both companies trade stars and co-promote events together. In 2018, GCW initiated The Collective, a series of showcases from partnering independent promotions held during WrestleMania weekend. Freedoms was scheduled to hold their first-ever event in the United States in April 2020 as part of The Collective 2020. However, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2020, Freedoms began a partnership with Active Advance Pro Wrestling (2AW), promoting a series of crossover shows beginning with Freedoms/2AW Versus on December 13.
The promotion airs on the Independent Wrestling TV (IWTV) streaming service; IWTV additionally carries events from Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling, Defy Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling, Absolute Intense Wrestling, amongst other promotions. The promotion holds most of their events in various venues such as Korakuen Hall and Shin-Kiba 1st Ring. Some of Freedoms' current top stars include deathmatch wrestlers Jun Kasai, Masashi Takeda, Toru Sugiura, and Daisuke Masaoka.
