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.

As expected the main war games match between Undisputed Era and the dream team of Tomasso Ciampa, Kevin Owens, Keith Lee and Dijakovic was phenomenal.

Hey guys, I had a list of options for this next blog post saved in my drafts but, after seeing a tweet that read 'Attention Male wrestlers: please stop wrestling women. Not only does it kill Kayfabe, you are basically saying it’s okay to hit women' I thought it was time to weigh up on this long arse debate that's been going on for years. Intergender wrestling is something that hasn't been seen in WWE constantly or really at all, except maybe a few like Becky Lynch v James Ellsworth, and who prefer mixed tag team matches where men fight men and women fight women. Yet, it's more popular on the independent scene and it's one of the most exciting kind of matches to watch! Maybe the person who tweeted the comment I started with probably thought that he was being smart or respectful by having this opinion and slating the whole concept of intergender wrestling by trying to 'protect women'. I think they've misunderstood the whole idea behind intergender...
