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...

AEW Double or Nothing Review

It's been a tough few months for everyone and I can't say how grateful I am that AEW has given wrestling fans some sort of escapism each week. This show was no different. The Double or Nothing main show began with the ladders and it was the perfect start to an awesome show. It gave us a look at all of our favourite wrestlers who didn't get a high profile single or tag match. Also, it was a combination of high flying, high risk and high humour. From the very beginning, there was always something to keep your eyes glued to the screen. Whether it was two members of SCU battling each other, people throwing themselves off ladders and of course Orange Cassidy, it was entertaining. I mean Cassidy had to be the star of the entire match; the guy had to ask the commentary table how to actually win the match - classic. In the end, ...

Taichi Appreciation Post

Hi guys, Recently, I've had a lot of spare time and that means I have a lot of free time to watch more wrestling and as always New Japan is a must. However, recently, I've noticed something that makes me sad during some of the shows. It's watching Taichi matches and hearing the sound of たいち わ かえれ (Taichi wa kaere) echo across the arena. I mean, I just don't get it.  Taichi isn't the Holy Emperor for nothing and I just think that he deserves more respect and adoration from the crowds. So, for this week's post, I am going to write a Taichi appreciation post because he is my Holy Emperor and he should be yours too! 1. He is a Great wrestler I mean you don't become a 2-time IWGP Jr Heavyweight tag champion and 2-time NEVER Openweight champion without talent. As a Junior Heavyweight, he was this perfect combination of agility, speed and a lot of high-risk moves that just made my jaw drop to the ground. Even now, although his move set is so differen...
