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 the announcement of NXT UK, it really goes to show how big wrestling is in the UK and, most importantly, how high a quality of wrestling we have in this country. World of Sport is a show that my parents, and even my grandparents, remember so it was a massive thing when it came back. Yet, WWE being who they are, sort of stopped the show's momentum by signing a ton of UK talent to the UK division which meant that they couldn't go on for longer than one episode. A year on and, surprisingly, World of Sport is back for a new series this weekend with pretty much some of the biggest names on the British scene.
This is pretty massive for British Wrestling in general because it's really putting a spotlight on British wrestling and hopefully change people's opinions on pro wrestling in general. I know so many people snigger or make fun of me when I say I love wrestling, but hopefully this is going to prove them wrong and show them the art of the sport! It's also going to give a lot of press for talented wrestlers who didn't want to sign with the WWE but deserve as much exposure, I mean some might say they'll get more UK coverage on WOS than WWE considering that it's going to be on ITV on a Saturday!
I mean it's already awesome when you see how it'll affect British wrestling but, when I looked at the names that are signed to the show, I think my mind was blown! I mean one of the big ones, and any regular readers of this blog will know why, is Will Ospreay and I think I actually screamed when I saw that he was announced, I mean hello, I get to see Ospreay on the telly! Then we've got other names that I'm MAHOOSIVE fans of like Joe Hendry and Bea Priestley who are like pure baes. There's also massive names who I love watching but am not such a fangirl over like Rampage Brown, Kay Lee Ray, Grado, Viper and Martin Kirby. And then there are those who are getting more momentum on the independent scenes and I'm really starting to grow to love like Nathan Cruz, Liam Slater and Gabriel Kidd. I mean, considering this is only like half the roster, you can imagine how epic the whole roster is and how many possibilities for matches their are!
It'll be great for wrestling to get back on British television on ITV at like a a prime time spot on a Saturday! I, for one, am going to be live tweeting, fangirling and probably screaming and annoying my parents who I'm going to force to watch it (even though I know my mum will probably be secretly excited). I just hope that they start the show off with a bang and have some pure epic matches - let's show everyone why you shouldn't be ashamed to say that you love wrestling!
Let's hope it's the start of something new and amazing!

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
