Keep sending your fan cam footage of your 0 pressure indies and you might just pull it off
I’d do the same for some EZ 5’s but I understand the difference between what an Arena/Dome/Budokan main event means compared to when you play with your mates a few blocks over at York Hall
When Tanahashi's "Go Ace" theme dropped I hated it, and now I'm singing it in my kitchen. Tanahashi knows what's best for us, even if we don't know it.
I'm not saying he's the second coming of Christ, that's for you to decide.
PROGRESS Chapter 166: Freedom Walks Again was a chance for a fresh start, but instead it was the same old Progress nonsense.

ZSJ vs Ospreay is the match of the year so far. Incredible wrestling. The blood, Zack's frustration at being outsmarted, the wrench off the top rope into an armbar... incredible.
Who needs new wrestling when you can take an unnecessarily deep dive into Oka's career so far?
I take a critical look at his time as a Young Lion and consider how successful his excursion to the UK has been.
My main takeaway was how underrated Lord Gideon Grey is!
Are you ready for the next stage of Shota Umino's excursion with
@RevProUK
?
Here's my thoughts on the British work of the man who could just be wrestling's next true superstar.
Dragongate always ends up at the bottom of my queue, but then I watch a show where a guys wins a year's worth of wet wipes and I realise this is a mistake.
My ballot for
@voiceswrestling
Match of the Year 2020 poll. Crazy to go back and reflect on just how much good wrestling there was in the worst year of all time.
You can't be critical of Rev Pro and then use their show as justification for the Progress show.
Well, you can, but it might be difficult to tweet while licking a boot you massive fucking scab.
The first hour of this is everything that needs to be said about Progress. They've had their chances, but they've continued to consider us with the same contempt they always have. Get lost, Progress.

Spotlight as we as we need to talk about Progress again (again).
We also talk Elimination Chamber, Dynamite, Bloodsport and MLW from this week, Tiny Iron, Gazza, Young Rock, and yes, Ultracrepidarians.
For the male fan, like me.
#speakingout
means admitting you know nothing. Approach every accusation, every story and every screen grab of a frantic note like it's an opportunity to learn. It's time we all knew what we were supporting.
O-Khan fucking rules. He fucking rules. Naito took him for a chump and look what happened to him. Don't make the same mistake.
(He's lost a NEVER title shot and beaten a war torn Naito in the first round of the New Japan Cup. He's not main eventing WK. Calm down.)
Kayfabe results aside, NOAH won the night. They came across much cooler, much more exciting, and much more in tune with what I want from my professional wrestling.
It's here! Eurograps Express episode 1!
We discuss the fallout from RevPro's stunning Ospreay/Oku match, review Live In London 58 and look forward to the future. We go to the Electric Ballroom to examine Progress Chapter 127 and finish by catching up with Wrestle Carnival.
@TheProductDS
It's mad. They're moving it's perception from being a basic human right to something they love but just cant afford. It's all PR for privatisation and it's bullshit.
Surprise group review for the New Japan Cup Finals!
Both
@chubby_cthulhu
and
@ryugu_jo
(two annoyingly great writers) do a masterful job reviewing NJPW's New Japan Cup final, Will Ospreay's win and the controversial post-match angle.
WWE may have 8K but NJPW have camera people who know where to point the camera to get the best shot and don't have fifty cuts a minute. Hard to know which is best.

I regretted signing up to review this Progress show, but seeing the unbridled anger I've just spewed onto a google doc it was probably a good thing. It feels like when those people pay to smash up a room with a baseball bat. Cathartic stuff.
Even though they have done everything but actually announce it, does anyone else keep getting irrational momentary "but what if he DOESN'T" thoughts about CM Punk?
Finlay chatting shit over Jay's defeated body, with Jay crawling to carry on the fight!
This story started when they were both Young Lions and they're still telling it now. New Japan!
I started writing for the site 3 years ago and I'm not ashamed to say that emailing Rich with a dopey Rev Pro review was one of the best things I ever did.
They are a great bunch of people and it's a privilege to play a small part in it.
I do a swift run-in (the irony!) to have a think about the latest AEW show.
For a company that was pitched as an alternative, it's all looking a bit familiar...
"Add another one to the wretched WrestleMania catalog for Roman Reigns, who has consistently bombed in the big spots year-after-year."

I know this isn't the salient point right now but I feel so lucky I got to see The Briscoes wrestle live.
If you get the chance to see all-time great talent, make sure you go.
It doesn't matter where you stand on intergender wrestling because the ending of that wasn't a simulated fight it was purposefully simulated domestic violence.
I cannot tell you how better Rev Pro is for the Young Guns than whatever Progress is these days. Especially as they're against two the UK's hidden gems.
Sunday July 18th, Live In Bristol
THE YOUNG GUNS make their RevPro debut, going up against the incomparable pairing of DEAN ALLMARK & ROBBIE X
Limited tickets remain:
I remember watching an ICW show where Mark Dallas delivered a promo with lots of "fuck Vince McMahon" and how they were running AGAINST WWE on the day of Mania.
In reality, their show was hours before Mania because of the time difference and they hosted a Mania watch party after

I'm back in the writing game after watching this stellar promo between Oku and Ospreay. Perfect storytelling that could only be told in wrestling.
Also, don't sleep on Seven Vs Mills. Brilliant match.
I'm desperately behind on New Japan - just watched Ishii vs Makabe - but "the work day is done" line from
@realkevinkelly
summed up exactly why I love Ishii. He's fighting for self-preservation, and it's the exact same reason we go to work. Ishii is the working man.
I know lockdown has been tough. I haven't seen my grandma for months, my mental health has plummeted and I'm starting to resent my own house. But, if there's one good thing about lockdown is that I could forget that Cara Noir ever fucking existed.
Thanks a lot Progress.
