This week on Random Reviews, we go back in the time machine to 1997, and find out some of the matches we’d have seen if we were only allowed to watch WCW Worldwide. Originally starting in the 70s, Worldwide was home to the infamous “Disney tapings”, where hours of content were taped in one evening, resulting in dead crowds by the end of it all.

Three months after their debut, PROGRESS returned to The Garage in Islington, London for their second event, entitled “The March of PROGRESS”. Featuring an increased roster of 18 wrestlers (only four of which appeared on the first show), show two headlined with a best-of-three falls title match between Nathan Cruz and Marty Scurll, and also had the PROGRESS debut of a 19-year-old Will Ospreay.

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.

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.
