I'd like guidance though. Honestly, if there was a bigger and more vocal group of people here from which to converse with, I'd be way more into it.
It's hard to just jump into it (other than casual watching of a match when stumbling upon it), ya know?
I totally understand. Way more wrestlers and promotions to keep track of, plus decades of history. Lucky for you, there is a brand new site, that is like the holy grail of beginner's guides to puroresu.

EXTENSIVE guide to getting into this stuff.

Also, as far as tracking results you have the puroresufan network.

http://www.puroresufan.com/

Updated daily. The main site covers New Japan. But if you look on the left, there are links to sister sites that cover each of the other promotions.

It definitely takes a while to get familiar with everything, and the japanese wrestling style isn't fo everyone, but it's really great stuff if you're looking for an alternative to american wrestling.
