All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) was one of two wrestling promotions (the other being Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling) to split off from the Japan Pro Wrestling Alliance (JWA) in the [[TheSeventies 1970s]]. All Japan was established in 1972. It competed with NJPW for supremacy in the wrestling field, employing a more "real sport"-based approach to presentation and angles than NJPW's more WWE-like "sports entertainment" atmosphere, although, ironically, the in-ring wrestling style, was much more based on American big-man power moves than New Japan, which leaned into a match style based around strikes and submissions that would become known as "strong style". It was founded by Wrestling/GiantBaba, who gained a reputation as a booker for his ability to slowly but surely build talent up into superstars.
