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...

My Top 5 Jr Heavyweights

Image
Hi guys, I've always been pretty vocal about my love for Jr Heayweights/ Cruiserweights (whatever you want to call it) and I've been pretty vocal about their treatment in some companies( https://wrestling-chatter.blogspot.com/2019/01/heavyweight-v-jr-heavyweight.html ). In a world where there are so many amazing wrestlers in this category, I gave myself the impossible task of picking my top 5. Just a quick note, there are so many amazing ones that this list is always changing! 1. David Starr There was no way I could have a list on the top Jrs and not have David Starr on the list. Even though Starr has won Heavyweight titles, he prides himself on his stance and is probably the most prestigious Cruiserweight champs (Rev Pro) in the entire world! I think that's why he's at the top. He prides himself on being one of the most well rounded Jrs I've seen with his style perfectly blending mat wrestling and a little bit of that good old high flying. He uses this hybri...

My favourite wrestlers (revisited)

Image
Hi guys, It seems like ages since I've been posting constantly because, as I keep repeating to people, university has a way of getting in the way of fun . However, it's not managed to stop be enjoying wrestling and, over the last few weeks, I've managed to broaden my wrestling mind and become invested in NJPW. This which has added another promotion for me to try and keep on top of. With that in mind, I thought it was time to update my favourite wrestlers and make it harder to make the list by combining all of the promotions together. Most are pretty cliche, but that's what happens when certain superstars reach the top of their game - they become everyone's favourite superstars! 1. Will Ospreay Will Ospreay is a name that will probably always be on this list because it seems as if Ospreay finds new ways to amaze me every time I see him wrestle. Like I can't tell you one bad match he's had because there aren't any - he can pull a good match out ...

A New 205 Live?

Image
Hi guys, The last few weeks have been monumental for the 205 Live roster and it seems as if the company are finally going to give these superstars a chance. With the announcement sof Drake Maverick (Rockstar Spud) as new 205 Live GM and Triple H taking over the brand, it feels as if we're at a turning point where people will actually see how much these wrestlers can do. After the whole debacle with losing our good ol' King Nev and the whole Enzo Amore scandal, the Cruiserweights needed a new and fresh start and I think it's working! I've always been a fan of 205 Live and I'm not alone because there's an entire fandom population who are devoted to this brand and see talent oozing out in buckets. Unfortunately, that's not been the case with WWE and many of the audiences. I mean it was bad enough that the boys were getting 'this is boring' chants or having people leave before the show (which is ironic because I only bought SD Live tickets...

Enzo more like Enz-No

Image
Hi guys, After last nights Raw, I suddenly got really angry and I didn't really know who to vent too so obviously I turned to the internet. After the horror of Neville losing his Cruiserweight title to Enzo Amore, I didn't know what rubbish WWE were going to give us with the Cruiserweights and 205 Live - probably my favourite part of the wrestling week. Well thank you for not disappointing me WWE and managing to both impress and piss me off at the same time.  The show started off pretty normal with Enzo wanting a celebration without interruption or bodily contact - it showed that, even from the start, there was clear aggravation within the division. Then Enzo came out and started running his mouth as per usual and once again, he has managed to offend superstars and some of the 205 Live Universe *those like me obsessed with 205 Live*. Yes, I understand its a promo that was given to Enzo but he would've had a lot of lee way and probably would've said some of ...

My Cruiser-Greats!

Hey guys, My Wednesday mornings consist of watching Smackdown and then getting excited to see my Cruiser-babes on 205 Live after the too short matches they have on RAW! I'm one of the few people who can happily say that 205 Live is the best hour on television and there isn't one thing I hate, the stars and the presenters are perfect and everything I wanted - even if a lot of people may not agree with me.  For me, the superstars themselves are the reason I'm so invested in this Division and I don't think there's another roster where I pretty much love the entire roster so this post was hard to do. Welcome to Sonal's top 5 Cruiserweight superstars!! (I am excluding Neville because he wasn't brought in just for 205 Live but he is one of the best) TJP (or TJ Perkins) The first ever Cruiserweight champion (in this era) and probably one of my favourite EVER superstars! TJ's character is really fun and easy to get behind whether he's a lo...

How to Help the Cruiserweight Division

Image
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...
