After two episodes of the new WhatCulture wrestling show, entitled “Loaded”, it’s fair to say that I’ve been critical of the WCPW product. Whilst week two was much better, there’s still weaknesses – and for the sake of those who want to get my take without reading match results, here is “a note to WCPW”.
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”.
2016 has been a year of rebuilding for New Japan, as the days after WrestleKingdom saw the company panic as their upper mid-card plans were thrown out of the window (and ended up in Stamford, Connecticut).
Well, after last week’s mixed bag of a show (and that’s me being really kind), I’ve made the call to give episode two of WCPW’s “Loaded” a try. Last week we had 8 WhatCulture staffers on screen to the 12 wrestlers, with a fair number of them assigned to – or fighting for – a WhatCulture staffer. 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.
The first half of 2016 has been a fairly surreal time to be a fan of WWE. With the company reeling from an ever-increasing injury list, and watching their plans for WrestleMania fall apart time and time again, WWE changed course.
The relatively short Kizuna Run tour ended in Iwate on Sunday, with New Japan’s final show before the G1 Climax got underway, with the NEVER titles taking centre stage for today’s card.
