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)!

Hi guys, It doesn't seem like a day or show goes by in WWE without someone talking about the Women's Revolution and how amazing the up and coming women wrestlers are. And they're right! Nowadays, female wrestlers are stronger than ever constantly putting on amazing matches with fellow women and even men. In WWE you've got the likes of Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Shayna Bayzler and Sasha Banks. On a wider scale you've got Britt Baker, Miyu Yamashita, Riho, Bea Priestly and Viper to name a few from across the world. All amazing women who have pushed the boundaries of women's wrestling into a new era trying to get to a point where they're seen as equals. However, have we forgotten or tried to disregard the past? Before this revolution, we had the divas division. A group of women who wanted to make it in the industry they loved and grew up watching, but weren't given nearly the same amount of opportunities. They were the show fillers, t...
