Another reminder that Japanese pro wrestling does "live-action anime" better than Netflix. These are the Tag Team champions.
This is team NEO Biishiki-gun from Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling. TJPW is part of the WrestleUniverse streaming service, which is free for new subscribers until the end of the year. Please check it out here:

I recommend starting with "Wrestle Princess II".
If the entrance music of NEO Biishiki-gun sounds familiar to you, it may be because it is Bara wa Utsukushiku Chiru, the opening song from the 1979 anime, "The Rose of Versailles". Comparison video below. #tjpw #tjpwWP2
