For many years, until the establishment of Over The Top Wrestling and its subsequent rise to prominence, the Irish Independent wrestling scene lay dormant. That’s not to say that there were no shows at all, but rather many of those that did take place were reliant on past-it WWE stars or legends to draw in […]

Picture Credit: Rob Brazier (@RobBrazierPhoto) Back in May, the pro wrestling world was set alight, the discussion boards and dirt sheets lit up in praise as they do when matches like this come along, the difference this time however, was the two men at the centre of this acclaim was two guys, not even in […]

Disclaimer: The views given in the following column are that of the author alone and do not represent those of The Indy Corner. Around a year ago I started a piece of writing about PWG (mainly prompted by a match between Brian Cage and Chris Dickinson which must have had William James turning in his grave) but shelved […]

For the last 3 years I have been on holiday in the summer with my family. It also coincides with the G1 Climax presented by New Japan Pro Wrestling. I followed New Japan as best I could through the years – various sites from 2008 on wards providing me with the odd match. If I […]

So, 2017 I have a challenge – see at least one wrestling event a month for all of 2017. So far so good. I got my July grappling entertainment in early, I went to the Cockpit show AND British J Cup promoted by the good folk at Revolution Pro Wrestling. These shows are so much […]

In 2005, New Japan Pro Wrestling ‘won’ Worst Promotion of the Year in the annual Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards, this represented a new low for the company whose star’s and product had dwindled away almost to nothing. Fast forward to 2017, NJPW are going from strength to strength, having just completed their first solo show […]

Tonight is the night of Fight Club: PRO’s annual International Tekkers event. In this article (my first for The Indy Corner) I’m going to be giving my thoughts and predictions on tonight’s show.

This coming Saturday at the sold-out Walthamstow Assembly Hall in London Revolution Pro Wrestling presents a one night, single elimination tournament to crown the first ever British J Cup champion.

I could hear Fergal (Finn Balor) ask Phil (The Thrill, and my trainer) if the girls wanted to take part in the last drill – 3 minute matches, before we packed up and got ready for the gym show that evening. Phil laughed and told him to leave us on the mats, our heads wouldn’t […]

In the immortal words of a much liked and respected British promoter: “Don’t be a dick”. To many this should be a rule in life, but apparently, we’ve lost sight along the way that people have differing opinions on everything, and wrestling is no exception, there will be stuff you like, stuff you don’t and […]

For many of us, we deal with mental health issues on a daily basis. Issues that make us feel low, anxious and tired among other horrid feelings. As a result, even the smallest distraction from our minds can be welcoming. For me, professional wrestling (particularly attending shows) has always been the best medicine for my […]

Wrestle Mania Day 2011. Of course I was excited for the big show. Every year I wake up full of excitement and count the clock down to midnight. Every year something I don’t expect happens; the weird and wonderful world of wrestling throws me a curveball. This year was no different, it just didn’t involve […]

First of all I’ll start by saying I’m no writer or a journalist. I’m just a guy in the Professional Wrestling business who likes to chat shit. Every so often I’ll be scrolling through my news feed and I’ll see a video of Will Ospreay doing his thing; hitting the deck, jumping up, hitting flips […]

With the sixteenth annual CZW Tournament of Death happening this Saturday I thought I would give you a preview and a run down of all the participants and matches on the show. Rickey Shane Page: The winner of last years Tournament of Death and this years IWA MS King of the Deathmatches and is a […]

I could hear the roar of the crowd. I felt butterflies in my stomach. I had been to see TNA in this very arena 4 years before, and they hadn’t sold it out. But it was sold out now. 2,200 fans packed into Ireland’s National Stadium, on the edge of there seats for every match […]

It seems that every so often in wrestling, something comes about that divides the community, this time last year it was Ospreay and Ricochet, and they feature in the latest argument too, no doubt, but the latest ‘controversy’ (I despise that word) encompasses not just one match, but the whole activity of wrestling. And here […]

In a few short hours the PROGRESS Super Strong Style 16 will be underway and for the third year of what’s become one of the biggest tournaments in UK wrestling PROGRESS have assembled some big names.

WCPW are one of the fastest rising wrestling companies in the world and ensuring they continue their rise in the wrestling scene, they announced the Pro Wrestling World Cup which consists of 64 of […]

I have no idea how Wrestlemania worked in the 1990’s, presumably people turned up on the day of the event then turn and went home after the show, these days that is unthinkable, as WWE pushes the whole weekend as an ultimate fan experience, we’ve now been used to people going and spending the whole […]

In my recent columns I’ve been discussing how the British wrestling scene is striving more than ever and this column is no different to that. With each passing month, more brilliant news regarding British wrestling keeps on surfacing, lately the news being that Anthem/Impact Wrestling will be partnering with ITV to bring back World of […]

The British wrestling scene has been taking the world by storm over the past couple of years and quickly became the hottest wrestling scene in the world today with so many companies that have contributed, I’d be here all day giving them the mentions they deserve. That being said four companies made a lot of […]

It’s almost time for Wrestlemania, the biggest even not only in professional wrestling but sport & entertainment. Wrestlemania is the most anticipated wrestling event of the year that truly takes centre stage of wherever it is located. This years Wrestlemania is on 2nd April and is once again located in Orlando. Not only WWE but […]

I’ve said a few times now that the British wrestling scene is one of, if not the, hottest wrestling scene in the world and one of the biggest reasons is the massive variety of promotions in the UK, we have more wrestling companies per square mile than any other country in the world (no joke). […]

Pro Wrestling Chaos ‘B-Ballin’ with MVP’ (18-2-17) review by Tim Ricketts. Photo credit: © Turning Face®/Jim Maitland. Last month’s Mysterious City of Chaos left the status of the King of Chaos title in confusion.  Under duress, the Referees had let ‘Flash’ Morgan Webster cash-in his illegitimately held Heir to the Throne contract.  It still took […]

On Saturday, February 4th, 2017, Over The Top Wrestling presented “Martina’s Gaff Party 2: Back In The Dr. Dre,” featuring top independent wrestlers such as Matt Riddle, Mark Andrews, the returning Mark Haskins, Drew Galloway and Eddie Kingston.

In wrestling across the world you’ve had many different tournament formats.

LIVE on SPIKE TV UK starting at 8pm, the guys who put on the 5* Wrestling tour last year somehow managed to get a deal to get on TV here in the UK. On the broadcast itself, all 8 guys featured had either been on WWE or TNA TV in the past. They used 3 […]

In recent years, New Japan has really taken off internationally. Gone are the days of Japan being the place tape traders and real hardcore fans, nowadays, Japan is as close to an alternative to WWE as we’ve had in many years. It has become the talk of the wrestling world whenever it’s newest event rolls […]

Many wrestling fans are perhaps only familiar with DDT (Dramatic Dream Team) as “that crazy Japanese promotion where Kota Ibushi wrestled a blow-up love doll”, or for the ridiculous Anywhere/Super Street Pro-Wrestling matches DDT have held in a variety of unconventional locations, such as camp sites, water parks, fun fairs, iron works, quarries, shopping centres […]

Wrestling is like music, there are many different genres, and many different sub genres, it is so vast and expansive in scale that, especially in recent times, people have started to question what ‘is’ and ‘isn’t’ wrestling. For example a student of the old school, someone like Jim Cornette or Vader will say that the […]

The January 4th Tokyo Dome show always ensures that the wrestling year starts off with a bang, and this year’s highly anticipated event was no different. Wrestle Kingdom 11 saw no less than six title changes, two title defences and one intense, exciting, dramatic and highly divisive main event that has set the wrestling world […]

This past weekend, heavily pushed as returning after a “30 year absence”, British Wrestling once again took pride of place on ITV’s Saturday evening schedule, with the heavily anticipated World Of Sport Wrestling, a “one off” New Years Eve special. ITV, when asked, continue to deny a returning Series, however talk among those involved is […]

So we are just hours away from New Japan Pro Wrestling’s latest edition of their biggest PPV of the year, Wrestle Kingdom 11. The show is set to take place at the Tokyo Dome in Japan and this year will be broadcast live on their version of the WWE Network, New Japan World. The show […]

Starting right here in the UK, indy wrestling has just been on an absolute roll and this year was it’s peak. All over crowds were up along with match […]

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer brings some good, and potentially bad news for UK wrestling fans. The good is that ITV, who recently taped a pilot for a rebooted World of Sport are considering taping 10 weeks worth of shows in the New Year with a view to doing house shows if […]

Ring of Honor returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City for its final event of 2016 on Friday live on pay-per-view and IPPV at 9:00 p.m. EST, headlined by the World Title match between former tag team partners, now bitter enemies Kyle O’Reilly and ROH Champion Adam Cole.

The venue has a rich history of combat sports, from boxing, to of course professional wrestling. Opening its doors in 1929, it has become a regular host for Revolution Pro since their debut at the arena […]

So the man behind The Indy Corner franchise asked me a few weeks ago if I would like to give a certain column a go. Namely, the top ten matches in the history of RevPro’s residency in Bethnal Green’s York Hall. Sure, I said, that’ll be easy. Since the inaugural event When Thunder Strikes on […]

“Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.” ― Victor Hugo PROGRESS, started on an idea. An idea to elevate, emphasise and magnify the UK wrestling scene, and the talent within it. To say that they have been successful in this endeavour would be a gross understatement. With a thriving business, concentrating on […]

  In theory, 2016 should have been a banner year for Kazuchika Okada. He began by defeating his long-time rival Hiroshi Tanahashi in the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 10, retaining his IWGP Heavyweight Championship title and solidifying his status as ‘Ace’ of New Japan Pro-Wrestling in the process. At least, that was the story […]

​The WWE Cruiserweight Classic just concluded last night and gave evidence to something that a lot of us have known for a while: Wrestling matches sell Wrestling. ​For too long people have been stuck on the idea that professional wrestling NEEDS to be a soap opera, that it NEEDS a clear cut good guy vs […]

It’s that time of year where independent wrestling in the USA put on two of the premier tournaments of the year. On the west coast, fans are getting psyched for PWG’s annual BOLA tournament. An awesome experience for those attending live and a great show to look forward to seeing on DVD for the rest […]

Return Of The Kings It was the afternoon of Sunday 6th December 2015, a Technical Wizard stood poised at the corner of the ring, opposite a praying Tommaso Ciampa. The room stood in anticipation and awe of the striking contest that was taking place. Seconds later Sabre sprinted to the other side of the ring […]

I’ll start by saying this is all off the cuff. There’s no real structure to this ‘article’, I’ll just be writing things that come to mind and hopefully it may resonate with a few and open peoples minds to the struggle of dealing with ill mental health. I recently opened up about my problems about […]

Picture credit: Mr Josey Photography (@MrJoseyPhoto) If you’re the kind of person who’s even vaguely attached to the wrestling Twittersphere, then you can’t help but notice the hype that has been building around this year’s PWG Battle of Los Angeles tournament.

Since I’ve been watching wrestling, about twenty four years now, “This is Awesome” chants have been around. However, since the birth of Ring of Honor in 2002, the chant has become more and more prevalent in wrestling. When is it really necessary, though? Should the chant itself die out? I’m not so sure. There are […]

If there’s one constant to internet wrestling fandom at-large, it’s that there’s always someone complaining about something. No matter the quality of the product, someone will be dissatisfied and that’s completely fine. It’s human nature and certainly not something exclusive to wrestling fans, but it’s something that a lot of the time seems to be […]

10. Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs Kazuchika Okada – 07/31, Gifu Other than ‘Mr. August’ Masahiro Chono, there’s no one more decorated in G1 Climax competition than Hiroyoshi Tenzan. But the ‘Violent Bull’ of New Japan Pro-Wrestling is getting on in years and has made no secret that this year’s tournament will be his final stand. In […]

Long Live The Villain, such a great statement from arguably the UK best wrestler currently in the only man to have held the Rev-Pro triple crown of the undisputed British tag team, crusierweight and heavyweight championships and he is a former PROGRESS world champion Marty Scurll.

22nd June 2016, Dropkixx had another Wednesday night seminar, this time taken by “Wonderkid” Jonny Storm who has worked for a number of promotions across Britain, Europe and America. First impressions, Jonny came across as very easy going, relaxed and someone who is easily approachable. He let us start our warmup and watched our drills […]

Two commonly used themes in pro-wrestling are that of vengeance and redemption, while one less common (but no less intrinsic) is the ‘passing of the torch’ moment. It can be used in a variety of ways, to mark the arrival of a new strong talent, to signify the end of a champion’s dominance or, as […]

In the centre of Manchester, every couple of months, a wrestling revolution takes place, as PROGRESS Wrestling takes over The Ritz. The beer is flowing freely and the floor is shaking, the large and boisterous crowd is starting to rumble in anticipation, the rally cry “THIS IS PROGRESS!” echo’s throughout the overcast epicentre of the […]

At just 23 years of age and with only four years of wrestling under his belt, the rise of Will Ospreay in the world of professional wrestling has been nothing short of meteoric.

Welcome to the first in a monthly series where I chronicle my journey exploring the world of British wrestling. As you’ll know if you read my first column, I only discovered how great the UK wrestling scene is about a year ago. In the meantime I’ve been to a bunch of shows and watched quite […]

On the May 25th 2016 Dropkixx welcomed back former TNA star Doug Williams for another seminar. Doug last came to Dropkixx in October 2015 so it good to see him return once again to share his knowledge about. As he came on a Wednesday session which is normally 2 hours his teachings were more compacted […]

The PROGRESS Super Strong Style 16 tournament enters its second year this Sunday at The Electric Ballroom in Camden, London, and (as with the first tournament) this year’s two-day event is full of promise with a stacked line-up of home-grown and imported talent.

When I was given the opportunity to write for The Indy Corner, it didn’t take much thought to accept the offer and start writing my first piece. I’ve been in love with indy wrestling since the first show I went to back in 2002. In Maryland (which is on the east coast of the US) […]

Image Credit: www.prowrestlingchaos.com Next week, “Johnny Wrestling” Johnny Gargano and perennial indy star Colt Cobana are coming to Pro Wrestling CHAOS for their annual Total Chaos show; a kind of throwback to the Lethal Lottery from WCW, where the night’s roster is announced in advance but the match-ups and stipulations are only drawn/picked and announced […]

Right: Legendary female Japanese wrestler Aja Kong I’ve always been a big fan of Japanese women’s wrestling in the heyday of the early to mid 1990’s.

Let’s get into death matches! Japanese Death Matches! No wait! Japanese electrical barbed wire death match! There have been more than one, there is one which I believe to be the most well-known barbed wire death match, Megumi Kudo vs Shark Tsuchiya in FMW in Japan. This is a must see you can’t really overlook […]

“Oh cool, CHIKARA is doing another UK tour!” “Ah man, the nearest show to me isn’t a proper CHIKARA show.” “Oh wow, this show has a great line up!” That was the internal conversation I had with myself as the various details about CHIKARA’s 2016 tour were unveiled.  The London show they put on last […]

A brief introduction to myself, I am often referred to as Manda Panda and I have an affinity for wrestling. From corporate promotions to the independent scene. In the western world when the topic of wrestling is brought up the general public recollects the names of Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage […]

Photo Credit: http://www.pauljspetrini.com/ Now I absolutely love independent wrestling, but there is something about it. From the sleaze to the top, I just can not get enough, and I especially love the US scene. So many great talents and promotions out there that some get overshadowed while some shine bright like a diamond. This is […]

In the early 90’s NJPW entered a deal to broadcast their Weekly Pro Wrestling show in Europe with dubbed over English commentary. For many wrestling fans in Europe (those not already embedded in the tape trading scene) this was their first look at wrestling from Japan, but it was to be a short lived one. […]

It’s been a hectic month! Since my last blog post I’ve been all over the place with ICW as they finish off their fourth UK wide tour, as well as debuting in the Republic of Ireland. I think I could ramble on for hours about the things that went on during that tour but I’ll […]

Thanks to Neil Bonser for the picture/graphic As I’m sure anyone is aware, this was obviously not my intended collum for this week but with todays awful news, I felt that it was only fitting to ask that the initial column that I wrote be pulled and replaced with this one. Words cannot even begin […]

Sometimes I honestly feel when I sit down and write these things that it’s just going to be me saying the same old shit, nothing of any true substance and then maybe a little rant at the end, usually aimed at someone’s epic bell-endery during the week just gone… but this week is completely different […]

I have just recently gotten into independent wrestling and so far I love it. We get amazing wrestlers truly working hard to put on a show for the fans that watch it. We also see some of the best storylines and matches we have ever seen before in the history of wrestling. And the best […]

Omne trium perfectum – ‘’Everything comes in threes is perfect’’. This Latin phrase, although not grammatically correct today seems very apt when one mentions the CM Punk and Samoa Joe trilogy in Ring of Honor in 2004. A lot of people will have their own opinion on what their favourite trilogy of wrestling matches are, […]

‘Brown Haired Girl In The Ring’ So as the next step on my training, I finally was able to get into a ring. Normally at Dropkixx we practice on judo mats and personally, I am not a fan of those. The impact on the body is a lot more so I always find myself waking […]

I’M BACK! That may be one of the most overused wrestling phrases but it is true. I took a hiatus last week to write up a preview for the 14th Anniversary show for ROH where I was wrong on multiple matches but now I am back with my column. And this week I will be discussing […]

Indy Wrestling may not have shows in big arena’s or have the type of production that WWE has. But what makes the indies great is the fact that You have a bunch of different promotions that gives unknown talents a chance to make a name for themselves. Indy Wrestling is all about having fun and […]

Hello Wrestling World! Your probably thinking oh this guy doesn’t preview PPV’s and he’s typically the ROH TV review guy. Why is he here? Well I’ll tell you. I’m invested in the product and I review it every week so I feel like I’m a great person to preview the PPV. It should be a […]

For the last two years NJPW have had their ‘Big Four’ headliners who are Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada, Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles.
