Dave Mastiff and Eddie Dennis had another go at each other as the latest round of NXT UK had implications for Takeover: Blackpool.

We ring in the new year with our first helping of NXT UK, as Takeover: Blackpool drew a little closer…

Depending on where you are in the world, you were either going to bed or perhaps in the various stages of nursing a New Year’s hangover when the worst kept secret in wrestling broke.

As is quickly becoming tradition, wXw provided everyone with a Christmas present – in the form of their end-of-year Academy show, featuring some influences from Holland and Japan.

It’s a bit of an understatement to say that 2018 was weird… unexpected collaborations, partnerships, and an in-ring quality of wrestling that we’ve not seen for decades, if ever. So, just like last year, how’s it turned out numerically?

Defiant wrapped up their 2018 with a surprising main event as Martin Kirby had to face WALTER… or face another kind of chop.

wXw returned to Oberhausen for their end-of-year anniversary show, featuring several familiar faces… and perhaps a little controversy too.

Rev Pro’s final (taped) show of the year saw them return to Chelmsford as they put on a solid if not engrossing card.
