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...

Whats up guys,
The last few months of WWE Raw and Smackdown have had more ups and downs than a rollercoaster at Disney World. Yet, they decide to bring out something that is pretty much just spoofing the wrestling business and is an utter and complete joke and it's the best content they've released in years. How is it that something that was meant to be a one off thing with four episodes have come back for another series. Simple: It was everything that WWE shows aren't and people loved it for so many reasons!
1. It used the wider roster in bizzare ways
When will you ever see the likes of The Ascension being used in nearly every single episode in a charismatic way. Southpaw Regional Wrestling has used superstars from Smackdown, Raw and even 205 Live (TJP represent) and it's letting those wrestlers who don't get much screen time shine. It shows us that Viktor, Konnor and Jason Jordan have the ability to be funny and have a personality, it shows the acting ability of Fandango to be the complete opposite of his character and is actually giving us some Rocker Dolph Ziggler (yes SD I'm aiming this criticism at you, gimme the Zigman). It even uses top card wrestlers like Y2J and The Miz. We even see another side of John Cena who plays Lance and just looks like an annoyed parent the entire way through. I've never seen so many different superstars in one WWE show!
2. It's so far away from PG, it's unreal
I mean this point can even just be aimed at Fandango's character Chet who has been naked and drunk all in one episode. I think that after the need to keep everything in WWE PG, it was nice for the older fans to actually get something raw and funny with crude and dirty scripts. It's what you expected wrestling to be like back in the day when there were no restrictions and people did whatever the fuck they wanted. I didn't have to worry about them cutting anything out and it all seemed a lot more natural and that the superstars were having a lot more fun doing it.
3. It's all light hearted
In the world of wrestling, there always seems to be some sort of controversy or heat that makes me regret loving pro-wrestling so much. This seems like the only show that is light hearted and fun because nothing is really at stake by any of these stars being in it. There aren't any titles on the line or contracts to worry about, all it does is make every superstar involved more likeable because we can see more of their personality and their potential - it always shows off these stars in a good light! It makes me smile whenever I watch it and I don't have to worry about drama!
4. IT DOESN'T GO ON FOR HOURS
I mean it's pretty self explanatory! Raw in 3 hours and SD is 2 hours which is sometimes way too long. I like the idea of short episodes and it makes me want more and to see what happens to these Southpaw wrestlers.
So, that's why I love Southpaw and really hope that it carries on as a small series that is released every few months. Let's only hope that this carries on being a thing!

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, I think I've already made it clear how excited I am for this year's Best of Super Jr tournament. However, in the midst of my excitement, I forgot all about the fact that it was a combined tour with World Tag League, probably because we didn't hear any announcements about the line-up - until now! Just like the BoSJ, this tournament is going to in a single block format and is full of some of your favourite tag teams in Japan. Without further ado, here is my preview of the 2020 World Tag League! FinJuice (Juice Robinson and David Finlay) Will New Japan fans be treated to another round of Happy Beers from last year's World Tag League winners? Well, I'm just happy to see them both teaming together again in Japan. David Finlay and Juice Robinson are the epitome of what a babyface is and just radiate this positive energy despite all the obstacles in front of them. Since they started teaming together, they've both had a career rejuvenation with their best frien...
