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...

Wrestling MVPs 2019

Hi guys, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I can't believe it's already 2020 and 2019 seems like a distant memory... But, what a 2019 it has been? Never mind what a year it's been in professional wrestling.

So, I thought that the best thing to do would be to look at all the promotions I watch and pick my MVP wrestlers of the year. I'm taking on board a lot of different things when making these choices including level of improvement, how much I've enjoyed watching them and obviously how well they've done in matches this year.

NXT UK: new breath or death of UK Indy Wrestling

Hi guys, It's been almost 24 hours (give or take) since WWE announced the NXT UK division and it's dividing UK fans and I'm pretty much one of them. WWE was the reason I got into wrestling and let me find all of these different UK promotions that I've become so invested in like Progess, ICW, Defiant, Future Shock and all so many more.  We all know that WWE is trying to takeover the world and the UK is one of there biggest markets, so why wouldn't they want to create a more established brand after the initial UK division stopped the revival of World of Sport last year (or so the rumours say)? It's easy, WWE are smart and they know how popular wrestling is here in the UK so it seems natural to snap up some of the best talent and make use of them, the same talent which put the UK promotions on the map! They have success every time they come over here to put on shows and creating an exclusive brand is the best way to keep WWE dominance even without th...
