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...

Hi guys,
With news tonight 8and over the last few days, on new WWE signee's, it's got me thinking about how I feel about it and whether it's a good or bad thing.
It's been announced on Twitter that Ricochet, War Machine and Candice LeRae have all signed contracts with WWE a. I'm know all these stars, Ricochet from his amazing matches with Will Ospreay, War Machine and their amazing NJPW and WhatCulture tag matches matches and LaRae's intergender matches and her show with Joey Ryan. It means I've seen them performing at the best at a load of different wrestling promotions.
It used to be the main goal for every wrestler to be signed with WWE and I guess it may even be the dream of these 4 superstars. However, I feel like nowadays, WWE is not the only way to get to the top of industry especially with the large amount of promotions all over the world. It's like some of the best wrestlers in the world aren't even in WWE and love what they do and the flexibility they get like Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, Will Ospreay.
I don't want to seem hypocritical because I am a massive WWE fan and its what got me into wrestling in the first place and I do love watching it. My issue is that, now I've watched so many other matches from other promotions, I can see what they let their performers do and the freedom they have within matches. Take Candice LeRae, her intergender matches are world renowned and now she's going to a company where they've only really recently reintroduced those kind of matches again. Even then, we don't see male v female within the matches themselves as the same gender has to be in the ring at the same time.
I've also noticed that the quality of matches are consistently better in other places. As much as WWE puts on some epic matches sometimes, there are other times where they just annoy me. Either certain stars aren't given enough time or the whole storyline bugs me so much the match just doesn't connect with me. I've not really had that within other promotions I watch like Defiant, Progress, NJPW, FutureShock, ICW and a lot more. Yet, I can see why this happens because WWE is much more global and has to appeal to a lot more people from different backgrounds.
This is why, as much as I loved these guys on the indy's, I can't wait to see what they do in WWE because it is such a grand platform. My main hope is that neither of these stars go down the common WWE root of being ruined by gimmicks, bookings etc and just don't get utilised by the company in the right way. I want to see these stars be pushed not put by the wayside like so many stars like Hideo Itami, Bayley, Alicia Fox etc. Let's just hope WWE know that they've signed some right good talent and they actually get given opportunities.

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...
