It’s been quite a while since I’ve spent big money on a “supercard” style show. Not counting the WWE and TNA shows I’ve been to, you’d have to go back to one of 1PW’s dying days. From a live perspective, this was a totally different crowd to what you’d usually see from, say, a PROGRESS event. Sure you had your chants, and the infernal “one fall” gimmicks. But nevertheless, this was a fun show to watch, aided by the names on display.

June 12, 2016 saw England’s Revolution Pro Wrestling host yet another in a line of indie dream matches, with a card at London’s York Hall headlined by Kurt Angle taking on Zack Sabre Jr. And since I’ll be at Rev Pro’s next big show this Sunday – featuring Messrs. Shibata and Ishii – it’s only right to catch up on their last banner event.

Formed in 2011, the Welsh-based ATTACK! Pro Wrestling has built up quite a niche following, with their unique spin on the concept of British wrestling. And by unique, that’s in no ways a back-handed compliment! Here, we review their most recent event, June’s “Press Start IV”.

Still, at least the WCPW guys took the criticism in their stride and didn’t make a sarcastic video addressing them. Oh…
Inspired by his beloved Leicester City’s Premier League win, it was no doubt Jim Smallman’s turn to name a show as PROGRESS returned to Camden at the end of June for what turned out to be a rather memorable night.
Based out of Milton Keynes in England, GOOD Wrestling is the newest promotion that’s looking to make a name for themselves in a crowded British scene. Taking place this past January in the Crauford Arms in Milton Keynes, we’ve got a six-match card for you here from GOOD’s debut show, appropriately titled: Good One.
If you’re a wrestling fan who’s gone onto YouTube, chances are you’ve heard of WhatCulture. Best known for their “Top Ten Whatever” countdown videos and similar clickbait listicles, WhatCulture have grown a decent online following, with an ongoing storyline between two of their staffers, Adam Pacitti and Adam Blampied. Somehow, it’s led to the website forming a wrestling promotion. Because they can. And they did. Here’s how their first weekly show, “Loaded” came off…
