Welcome to Puroresu Central Version 2.5! I got done a week early, slow weekend. A number of updates have been completed, here is the list:

- On the bottom now I have a page where you can search the website. People have been asking for this for three years, I was always hesitant because all the free search tools have ads on them and I didn't want any ads, but at least with this one the ads only show up if you do a search and they are just google ads as far as I can tell which are pretty harmless. So if you need to find a certain wrestler and don't know where to look, use the search tool on the page at the bottom.

- I have re-opened the Puroresu DVD Shop, sometimes people ask how they can help the site and while I don't like taking straight donations, if you buy a DVD the proceeds will go towards the ever increasing server costs to keep this site up and running. Plus you will get some quality DVDs to watch. I know I don't have the cheapest prices on the Internet but since they include shipping they are reasonable and if I wasn't making any money then it would beat the purpose. So be sure to check that out, I have lots of events available from many different promotions. This is still my list from my old site, I have around 50 or so events to add that I have picked up since May, I'll get them added in the next few weeks.

- Wrestling move videos have returned, but with a twist. I talked to GoDaddy and the issue has never been bandwidth, I have plenty of that, but the site used to slow down when I added new moves and everyone downloaded the moves, causing a sudden spike that the server I am on couldn't handle with the amount of RAM available. So there was no issue with the videos being downloaded, but rather that so many people were downloading at the same time. To remedy that, from now on I will only add moves to the bigger promotions (none of the smaller indys) to keep the numbers down, but more importantly I won't announce on the front page when I add a new move. That will allow the moves to be downloaded more on an as-needed and spread out basis. Consider that a compromise, I know you guys would rather I put it on the front page so you know, but this way I won't have a sudden spike of hundreds of people downloading videos in a short period of time. There will also be less move videos per profile, I will try to make it a maximum of five move videos for any given wrestler. About 100 moves have been added around the site, and I will be taking move requests for the larger promotions (for example I added Nagata's Drive Screw, since I had gotten a few emails about that one already).

- The New Japan, All Japan, and NOAH sections have been completely updated. This includes Recaps for 2009 (2008 will just be missing from NOAH probably forever), brief history pages, and updated tournament and title pages. For NOAH a championship history for each profile was put in as previously those pages did not have those. Also, for Dragon Gate I updated the factions (as far as I know anyway).

- I have added a page for the JWA under Defunct Promotions, including many profiles of wrestlers from the Golden Era. I did the best I could with pictures for the wrestlers, some are just screen shots from matches which isn't the best quality but it is better then nothing. I became good friends with the Japanese wikipedia to track down some of the information so it should all be correct. This should be all the promotions I plan on adding to the site right now, until some new ones are created or I get more information on a few of the other old ones.

- Finally, thanks to Zedi two new minor promotions have been added along with 10 new wrestler profiles: JWA Tokai and Goto Ippa. Almost up to 50 active promotions, we're trying..... And the FAQ has been updated as well since some of the things mentioned in the old FAQ no longer applied.

That is a lot of updates, so if you find any mistakes/dead links/etc. anywhere please let me know at purocentral@gmail.com.
