Following the closure of Apache Pro-Wrestling Army (Apache Pro) on August 8, 2009, Takashi Sasaki announced the creation of Pro Wrestling Freedoms (Freedoms) with Gentaro, Jun Kasai, Kumai, Mammoth Sasaki and The Winger. On September 2, 2009, Freedoms held their very first show at Shinkiba 1stRING in Tokyo, Japan.
Over the years, Freedoms has become one of Japan's premiere deathmatch companies, alongside Big Japan Pro Wrestling. They formed an alliance with the American promotion Game Changer Wrestling that has seen both companies trade stars and co-promote events together. Some of Freedoms' top stars include deathmatch legends Jun Kasai, Masashi Takeda, Toru Sugiura, and Daisuke Masaoka. In 2018, Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) initiated "The Collective", a series of showcases from partnering indie promotions. Freedoms held their first-ever event in the United States in April 2020. It is the latest promotion to enter on Independent Wrestling TV (IWTV), following recent partnerships with GCW, Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling, Defy Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling, Absolute Intense Wrestling.
Freedoms began a brief partnership with Active Advance Pro Wrestling, starting promoting a series of shows beginning with FREEDOMS/2AW Versus from December 13, 2020.
