Japanese Women Wrestlers
The Women of Japanese Wrestling
I have done a couple of lenses on the female wrestlers of Mexico and in them, I have mentioned how in Mexico, the luchadoras are treated with way more respect than the female wrestlers here. Okay, I mean the WWE and TNA, the Indy wrestling promotions are a lot better to the ladies. Another country that holds its female athletes in higher regard is Japan. In Japan, women's wrestling is called joshi puroresu. A lot of times, the women wrestle for companies that are strictly for women (kinda lik...

Top 10 Best Wrestling Tag Teams Ever
What wrestling duo is the best ever?
Today it seems as the focus on tag teams in professional wrestling is almost nonexistent. Most teams are composed of two wrestlers that are just thrown together and rarely even have a team name let alone a good gimmick or team finisher. Any team that achieves any level of success is promptly split up to form two individual competitors that will feud with each other for awhile until there is a total loss of interest in one or both wrestlers and they are out of wrestling all together. Yes, gone...

Nick Gulas - Southern Wrestling Promoter
Nick Gulas
Nick Gulas operated what was once the largest wrestling promotion in the South. Gulas did not have the best reputation within the industry, but there is no denying that he was one of the most successful wrestling promoters during the territorial days. From the 1940's until the late 1970's, fans returned week after week to his wrestling cards. "Ladies and gentlemen we're expecting an all time record breaking crowd, better get your tickets early. They're available at the Municipal Auditorium B...

One of the key mainstays of wrestling are the arrogant, often hilarious promos and interviews each wrestler cuts to promote their character and storyline.  These storylines are the k...

Maurice Tillet and Wrestling's Angels
The Angels
Dating back to 1939, the Angels were a group of enormously successful wrestling characters. Maurice Tillet, the French Angel, was a mainstream celebrity in his day. Another, Tor Johnson, has become a modern day cult figure. Wrestling impresario Jack Pfeffer didn't invent the Angel gimmick (most would say he stole it from Tillet), but he was the guy who made the most of it. He created or booked all of the Angel characters. Other Angels who worked at or near the top of wrestling cards was the...

Man Mountain Dean - More Than a Wrestler
Man Mountain Dean
Man Mountain Dean, at a little over 6 feet tall and 300 pounds, was a giant of a man in more ways than size. Man Mountain Dean led a colorful life: soldier, football player, pro wrestler, actor, strongman, police officer. He was a sparring partner for boxer Joe Willard. Upon resigning from the Georgia House race in 1938, his speech made national news. "Man Mountain Dean" became synonymous with size and strength: "Who do you think I am? Man Mountain Dean." "He's as huge as Man Mountain Dean....

British Professional Freestyle Wrestling
British Wrestling - Sport or Entertainment?
In the 1970s wrestling was extemely popular in Britiain. Very different in style to the American All-in wrestling, British wrestling was "freestyle" and followed a strict set of rules, My mother would take me to Fairfield Halls, Croydon every fortnight to watch live wrestling. I would also watch it on "World of Sport" every Saturday afternoon. British wrestlers were my heroes. The sport was full of colourful characters who entertained a mixed audience which spanned the generations. Old ladie...
