Top Wrestling MVPs 2020

-
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

My Dad's a Heel Wrestler: Review

Hi guys, I've really been looking forward to writing this post, but I never knew when or if I was going to be able to do it in the first place. Last year, New Japan announced the new film My Dad's a Heel Wrestler, a film that follows a young boy who's dad happens to be a heel wrestler. So, not only did it actually have a really solid plotline, but it also had some of my favourite wrestlers in the world in it. Tanahashi plays the lead role and and then we've got guys like Taguchi, Makabe, Okada and Baretta in it as well. We all got a taster when NJPW put on a match with the characters of the film. I was so gutted when I found out that it wasn't going to be airing in the UK and when it did a few months ago, it was only in a few places that I just couldn't get too. Luckily,New Japan announced that they were putting the film on New Japan World with English subtitles for NJPWTogether, I think I might have screamed a little bit... or a lot.  So, on

Wrestlemania Reactions

Hi guys, Well, we've just come to the end of not only the first ever 2-day Wrestlemania but also the first ever no-vacancy Wrestlemania and who would I be if I didn't do a review of both of the shows over the weekend? I didn't know whether to do this as a post or podcast but I'll probably do a brief overview in this post and then a more in-depth podcast about it all! Saturday Night  The first night of Wrestlemania started off with great promise. The Kabuki Warriors v Alexa Bliss/ Nikki Cross for the women's tag titles was a great way to start the show and was proof that you can have amazing matches without a massive crowd. As always, Asuka thrived in that environment and was able to really show off her personality as a proper heel with Kairi Sane which was the perfect antidote to their babyface opponents. The match combined technical, high flying and the chaos we all expected which was amazing despite the fact that the Kabuki Warriors lost.
