Catch the Wave (Japanese: キャッチ・ザ・ウェーブ, Hepburn: Kyatchi za U~ēbu) is an annual professional wrestling tournament promoted by the Pro Wrestling Wave promotion. It has been held since 2009 and takes place between the end of April and the beginning of August. As up until March 2013 there were no singles championships in Pro Wrestling Wave, Catch the Wave was effectively the top singles achievement in the promotion. The tournament is contested in round-robin format with the winners of each block advancing to the semifinals. From 2010 to 2012, the tournament included a "Loser Revival" battle royal, where already eliminated wrestlers battle for the fourth and final spot in the semifinals of the tournament.[1] This system allowed the tournament to be won twice by a wrestler, who was originally eliminated in the round-robin section.[1][2] From 2011 onwards, the tournament has concluded with an award ceremony.[2] The winner of the main tournament earns the title of "Nami Onna" (波女, "Wave Woman") and ¥1,000,000.[3][4] From 2014 to 2016, Wave also held a separate Catch the Wave tournament for rookie wrestlers, running concurrently with the main tournament.[5][6]
