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...

How to Help the Cruiserweight Division

Hey guys, 205 Live and the Cruiserweight division has been up and running for pretty much a solid year and something that started with loads of momentum. Unfortunately, it's not stayed and it's only a fare few hardcore CW fans (like me) who seem to be fully invested and interested in this amazing division. I don't think it's anything to do with the superstars themselves that go out, night after night, and before to the best of their ability because they are some of the best competitors out there. It's not there fault that there's a lack of a connection between them and the fans, it's WWE's and they need to sort it! But how? 1. Better character development We have some great characters in this division from Gentleman Jack and the Wizard of Odd Brian Kendrick whose persona just leaks out. But what about those stars who haven't decided on a niche? Well WWE have already ruined a good lot of 205 Live stars with their character development or...
