With a plethora of U.S. independent companies active today, there’s one that stands out above the rest. Deadlock Pro Wrestling (DPW).

Although many people were disappointed with Kingston being in this block and not in the same ones as guys like Okada, Naito, or Ospreay, I’m actually very excited about the match-ups he has in C Block, … Continue reading G1 Climax 33 Block Breakdown: C Block

ELP, Taichi, and YOSHI-HASHI (forgive me misspelling his name on the graphic) … Continue reading G1 Climax 33 Block Breakdown: B Block
