This past Sunday, Revolution Pro Wrestling held its annual “Summer Sizzler” spectacular, with a seven match card highlighted by the appearance of two of New Japan’s finest: Tomohiro Ishii and Katsuyori Shibata. We were there live, here’s our full review…

Held on May 1st, Rev Pro Wrestling’s “Live at the Cockpit 8” played host to their WWE Cruiserweight Classic qualifier, between Noam Dar and Josh Bodom. With the Classic starting tomorrow, it’s time to see how their man got into the tournament, along with the rest of a card that featured Zack Sabre Jr. defend his British Heavyweight Title against Big Damo.
After three weeks, it’s probably still too early to make a final judgment on the new WhatCulture Pro Wrestling promotion from the North East of England, but it’s fair to say that the early signs have been mixed to say the least. Let’s see what they’ve learned this week.
Based out of the English town of High Wycombe, Empress Pro Wrestling is the latest in a line of women-only promotions. They’ve only been around since the start of 2015, and with four shows to their name (as of time of writing), it’s fair to say that they’re not rushing things either.
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.
Well, since we’re up to date (as best we can be) with PROGRESS events, it’s time to set the time machine back a little further, all the way back to March 2012, for Chapter 1.
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”.
