It’s been a long, weird year, has 2020. A year that’s not gone as expected. A year that’s seen us lose people throughout wrestling, and unfortunately the wider world as we all came to terms with the global pandemic. I’ve stopped, deleted and restarted writing this column multiple times – so as to not go into excruciating detail in a year that started out with promise, but ended up being one that a lot of us would probably want to forget. 2020 was the year where we all had “plans cha...

As some expected going in, the Best of the Super Junior/World Tag League combined tour hasn’t churned out a stream of bangers… and with some of the higher profile indies in the US reducing their already-limited schedules, we’ve seen a bit of a slowdown. So, what’s out there to recommend from November? Hiromu Takahashi vs. Robbie Eagles from the 11/29 New Japan show was my pick of the bunch, with Eagles showing why so many were calling him...

NJPW Super J-Cup 2020 Review: Super Meh Cup *slaps roof of 2020 Super J-Cup* this bad boy can fit so many three-letter names in it ACH vs. ELP (NJPW) Less than twenty-four hours after NJPW crowned the winner of this year’s Best of the Super Juniors in Japan, they awarded the trophy and golden jacket to this year’s stateside Super J-Cup winner.
