My name is Sonal and I love to talk, blog and watch a whole lot of wrestling so a wrestling blog was the only obvious thing to do! Obsessed with wrestling from across the world with a soft spot for Puroresu, cruiserweights and heels. I can probably be found watching more wrestling than actually sleeping and blogging about pretty much every week.

Hi guys, How crazy has 2020 has been? With everything going on in the world, it seems as if 2021 couldn't come any sooner. However, even with all of this negativity, I think it's vital to try and find some positives. Despite conditions making it hard for the wrestling industry, many companies have thrived during the pandemic. In particular, some wrestlers have managed to make the best out of a bad situation and continue trying to put on shows for fans whether in person or through streaming sites. To mark the end of another year, I'm back with my annual wrestling MVP list of the wrestlers who have stood out this year. Just a quick note, most of the stuff I've watched this year is Japanese wrestling (NJPW, DDT and TJPW)! Yuka Sakazaki 2020 has been a great year for in the sense that I've had the time to fully get into Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling. For me, it's something I regret not doing earlier because it is full of some amazing wrestlers from Miu, Miyu Yamashita...

Welcome to all and to all a big welcome... I really need a new intro
So after weeks of speculation and rumours, we finally found out the massive secret that Kurt Angle has been hiding from us with Corey Graves. People thought he was having an affair or that he was gay.
Turns out that Kurt had an illegitimate son from his college days. After an emotional backstory from the Olympian himself on the story of him and his past lover, he went on to list the achievements of his son from his school education to his wrestling background. Angle's son was none other than American Alpha's Jason Jordan.
I honestly wouldn't have called it because Jordan has pretty much been off the radar since American Alpha lost the tag titles and since Gable announced their individual ventures without splitting up. However, it seems as if WWE have seen Jordan's potential and are setting him up for a massive push alongside his 'dad'. Jordan is very talented and, like Tyler Breeze, has gone through massive changes because he just wasn't connecting with the fans. It'll be a chance for him to really show how much he has improved both in ring and on the mic through this unique angle *no pun intended*
However, as amazing and surprising this revelation was, I have some issues with this decision.
1. Gable made a massive spectacle of announcing that, even though he was doing solo things, that American Alpha were not splitting up. Now that Jordan's moved to Raw, isn't that exactly what's happened. The split of the team to different brands has made the split inevitable.
2. Its ruined the potential gain of momentum of the tag team. Even though they've been floundering, American Alpha has the potential to be the best tag team in the division if they're given that push again and booked better than last time.
3. WWE are destroying the legitimacy of the tag team division. #DIY, Enzo and Cass, JeriKO and now American Alpha.The tag team divisions on NXT, Raw and SD are getting smaller and smaller with some of the best love teams being split up. Tag teams used to be a massive part of the company but, as they increase the splits, it seems as if the divisions are becoming an afterthought.
4. Wouldn't it have made more sense for Gable to have been the son. I am not saying g this because of colour, before anyone says. It just makes more sense. Although I can see why Jordan was picked, it would've been nice for it to have been Gable because of the whole Olympic thing and it would've set up a great angle for 'like father, like son'. It was just very random because of the status of the Jordan on the card. It's almost like they just got a group of names and picked a random wrestler.
So, that's what I think about last night's RAW-velation. I love to see what they're going to do with this story and how SD and, specifically, Gable are going to react. Hopefully they don't ruin an interesting story line and it helps both Jason Jordan and Chad Gable.

Hi guys, For me, New Japan Pro Wrestling has to be one, if not, the best company in the world for giving us amazing wrestling content. With the introduction of their streaming site NJPW World, more worldwide shows and English commentary (from the AMAZING Kevin Kelly) on most of their shows, it’s becoming a massive rival for other massive companies. But, when I started watching it a while back, the whole format was really confusing because it was so different from what I was used too. So, in the lead up to Wrestle Kingdom (which is the biggest show/s of the NJ calendar year), here’s a beginner’s guide to New Japan Pro Wrestling (Shin Nihon Puroresu) for anyone who wants to watch NJPW but has no idea where to start. History New Japan Pro Wrestling was founded in 1972 by wrestling legend Antonio Inoki after he left the Japan Pro Wrestling Alliance promotion. Inoki put himself as the star of the company and drew on the experiences of foreign wrestlers (Gaijin’s) like the Bri...
Hi guys, A few days ago, I published a look at the G1 Climax 30 A Block participants ( https://wrestling-chatter.blogspot.com/2020/09/g1-participants-preview-block.html ) and what a line-up it was. Well, I'm back with a comprehensive guide to the B Block which is as equally exciting and has some huge names. Here is a look at your participants in this years B Block! Tetsuya Naito After narrowly missing out on yet another G1 victory, current IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental champion Naito has more on his mind than just points. Going into a tournament with one title is bad enough, but going in with the top two is going to be a nightmare. As well as trying to win and pick his own WK opponent, he is going to need to beat everyone. The Ungovernable One has a massive target on his back and everyone will be putting their heart into trying to pin the champ. By pinning Naito, they don't even need to win the G1 for a title shot. However, Naito isn't going to let this stress ...
