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...

Hi guys, My last post was basically saying how excited I was to have World of Sport Wrestling back and how amazing the roster is. The first episode has just aired and, after some fear that it wouldn't live up to the hype, I am so relieved that the episode was pretty decent.

It was so nice to see Stu Bennett (or Bad News Barrett as a lot of people know him as) in this WOS Executive role, especially as it definitely seems as if he's keeping his well loved heel character alive. Bennett opened with a nice monologue about how he wanted to change the perception of British wrestling as being full of a bunch of baffoons - cue WOS Champion Grado strutting to the ring with a massive smile on his face! Everyone in wrestling has to have a soft spot for Grado and, being the heel, Bennett was quick to say how Grado wasn't the right fit for champ...

World of Sport Announcement!

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...
