Tenryu Project (天龍プロジェクト, Tenryū Purojekuto)[1] is an independent Japanese professional wrestling promotion. The promotion was founded by and is owned by puroresu legend Genichiro Tenryu, who has owned and operated it since its creation in 2010.[2] The Tenryu project is the successor to Tenryu's WAR promotion that ran from 1992 until 2000 as well as Tenryu's Super World of Sports (SWS) that existed from 1990 until 1992. The Tenryu project have very few wrestlers under full-time contract and acts as a booking office for those under contract. For their shows they work with other Japanese wrestling promotions or hire freelance wrestlers to compete. After Tenryu's in-ring retirement match, Tenryu Project stopped running shows. After 5 years since Tenryu's retirement, a special Anniversary show was held in 2020 titled "Kakumei Densho".[3] Tenryu Project was re-esthablished with a tour in 2021 titled "Survive the Revolution".[4]
