Wrestling Chatter

Hi guys, Last week I posted part one of my interview with Gabriel Kidd ( https://wrestling-chatter.blogspot.com/2019/03/chatter-with-gabriel-kidd-part-one.html ) and spoke to him about his wrestling beginnings, his influences and taking part of World of Sport. So, as promised, here's part two where we got to the nitty gritty of Kidd's wrestling career, especially his time at the NJPW Dojo, dream opponents and what the future holds for someone with such a long and thriving career ahead of them! I am a massive fan of NJPW, so can’t not mention the fact that I saw on Twitter that you spent 12 days in LA at the NJPW Dojo training under the legend that is Katsuyori Shibata, what was that like? Easily the best and most eye-opening experience so far of my young life. That’s the kind of style of wrestling I watch, I love the Japanese style and old and new Japanese wrestling style. When I got the opportunity to go there and train with Shibata-san, it was just a really eye openi...

Hi guys,  Last month, I was lucky enough to have had a really great in-depth chat with one of the hottest young veteran wrestlers in the UK Gabriel Kidd. So, here's part one of my interview where we spoke about how Kidd got into wrestling, his influences, Defiant Wrestling and of course his part in the resurgence of World of Sport! So, welcome to my newest segment called ' Chatter With' (do you get it... you know Wrestling Chatter )...  Everyone’s love of wrestling starts at different stages of their lives, how old were you when you got interested in wrestling and what started the love in the first place? I can work out my exact age and I was probably about 9 or 10. My dad’s Irish and I was in Ireland visiting my grandma who had Sky Sports. We were flicking through the channels and wrestling was on. As soon as the screen came on, Mark Henry was in the ring and then the Undertaker’s music hit and he made his entrance. From there, I was just glued to the TV. I love...

Hi guys, With the announcement of NXT UK, it really goes to show how big wrestling is in the UK and, most importantly, how high a quality of wrestling we have in this country. World of Sport is a show that my parents, and even my grandparents, remember so it was a massive thing when it came back. Yet, WWE being who they are, sort of stopped the show's momentum by signing a ton of UK talent to the UK division which meant that they couldn't go on for longer than one episode. A year on and, surprisingly, World of Sport is back for a new series this weekend with pretty much some of the biggest names on the British scene. This is pretty massive for British Wrestling in general because it's really putting a spotlight on British wrestling and hopefully change people's opinions on pro wrestling in general. I know so many people snigger or make fun of me when I say I love wrestling, but hopefully this is going to prove them wrong and show them the art of the sport! It...
