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.
Ahead of the start of the inaugural Cruiserweight Classic next week, WWE presented a one-hour show on the Network earlier this week previewing the event. Here’s our quick run-down of their Bracketology show.
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.
One of the stand-out storylines from TNA this year – from a creative perspective, at least – has been the feud between the Hardy brothers. Going in, it’s easy to see how fans would have been cynical, given how badly their prior attempts at a feud bombed. But this time, it was different, and it was glorious.
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”.
