In MLW, no faction has cast a longer, more chilling shadow than CONTRA Unit. While their roster and specific objectives have evolved over time, CONTRA's core identity as a ruthless, rebellious force has remained consistently formidable. Understanding why they continue to be MLW's most feared faction offers an interesting look into one of the most compelling aspects of the promotion.
Much like the devious COBRA organization in the G.I. Joe universe– a global terrorist syndicate with a distinctive military look and a continuous pursuit of world domination – CONTRA Unit operates similarly within MLW. They are a faction that works together with great efficiency, unified by a destructive ideology, and constantly seeking to weaken the established order. This comparison perfectly captures CONTRA's calculated chaos and their enduring ability to be a threat to everything MLW stands for.
CONTRA Unit's continuing threat is emphasized by their remarkable unpredictability. After a period of intense dominance, CONTRA went inactive in 2022, and its
sleeper cell waited until 2024 to make its shocking return, attacking then-MLW World Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu after a successful title defense. This re-emergence and attack was a testament to CONTRA's unbreakable spirit of anarchy.
Today, the fear inspired by CONTRA Unit is driven by its menacing lineup of current members, each contributing a distinct element to their collective menace:
Mads Krule Krügger: The monstrous, dangerous leader, Krügger represents raw, untamed power. His presence and capacity for brutal violence make him a formidable force at the forefront of CONTRA's assaults.
Minoru Suzuki: Known by many as, "The Emperor of Strong Style" and a former NJPW star, Suzuki being a member of CONTRA Unit elevates the faction's credibility to an international level. His excellent grappling ability and vicious attitude add legitimacy to CONTRA, with every encounter being perilous.
Babathunder: Another CONTRA powerhouse, Babathunder intimidates opponents with his size and strength. Babathunder's destructive capabilities help ensure that CONTRA remains a dominant physical force in MLW.
Ikuro Kwon: The sly and unpredictable member of CONTRA, Kwon brings a unique element of danger with his toxic mist attacks and strategic strikes. Kwon is the most mysterious member of the faction.
In addition, CONTRA includes the SENTAI Death Squad, which operates as the enforcement arm of the faction. The exact number of squad members is a mystery, as they are often seen interfering in matches, executing ambuses, and generally creating mayhem to further CONTRA's power in MLW.
CONTRA Unit's ability to remain MLW's most feared faction also lies in its evolving lineup. CONTRA shows an understanding of how to integrate diverse talents and adapt its tactics to keep opponents off balance and maintain its edge. This constant re-injection of new blood and fresh dynamics ensures that CONTRA never becomes predictable, always presenting a renewed and evolving threat to MLW.
Steps have also been taken to strengthen the CONTRA brand. The faction utilizes Pro Wrestling Tees to sell merchandise, generating revenue and reinforcing their influence simultaneously.
Another way that CONTRA could strengthen its brand is by having its own website. Such a platform could provide a space for manifestos and cryptic messages, member bios, news, match results, and videos of televised segments featuring CONTRA.
In a business where factions often rise and fall, CONTRA Unit's consistent ability to inspire fear, adapt its ranks, and embody an ideological threat firmly establishes them as MLW's most enduring and dangerous faction. Their impact cannot be denied.
In the world of professional wrestling, few promotions have carved out a niche as unique and persistent as WOW - Women Of Wrestling. Born from a vision to showcase female athletes in sports entertainment, WOW has navigated decades, remaining relevant in the wrestling scene. Existing in an industry that features women's wrestling in a variety of styles of presentation, WOW's journey helps the company stand out.
WOW made its debut in 2000, created by David McLane, known for his previous work with GLOW, which to this day continues to have ongoing popularity. McLane's vision was clear: to present an all-female wrestling product that emphasized athleticism and larger-than-life characters, while aiming for a family-friendly audience. WOW was the only wrestling company on syndicated television that was putting its female athletes front and center, allowing them to be the sole focus of the action.
A standout member of the WOW roster during the promotion's beginnings was Selina Majors. She is a two-time former NWA World Women's Champion, and this success, along with Majors' extensive career in professional wrestling, was an asset to WOW, adding credibility to the promotion and establishing it as a valuable platform for women's wrestling.
One of the people who WOW piqued the interest of was Jeanie Buss (who later became owner of the Los Angeles Lakers), who was invited to a show by David McLane, and eventually even joined McLane at the commentary table for a WOW event.
WOW went on hiatus in 2001 as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which created a chain reaction never before seen across the media and entertainment sectors, as the economic repercussions and the TV industry's immediate focus on news and more established programming made it challenging for a new wrestling company to secure the necessary backing and audience. During WOW's hiatus, Jeanie Buss continued to support its concept, believing that it was evidence that women could make a living as entertainers and professional athletes. The passion for an all-women's wrestling promotion on national television never decreased, and during this time the wrestling industry was more receptive to female-led content. Buss' belief in WOW, led to her and David McLane relaunching it in 2016.
Leveraging social media, WOW shows were produced for Facebook originally, and later for YouTube. WOW utilized the late-1980s/early-1990s style of having a big focus on characters while remaining relevant in the current wrestling scene, presenting its colorful roster of athletic Superheroes with distinct personas and backstories.
There were a number of wrestlers who were at the forefront of popularity during this era of WOW, one of them being Jungle Grrrl. With her athletic and high-flying style, Jungle Grrrl became the longest-reigning WOW Champion in history.
WOW quickly built a loyal following, and that, combined with the company's renewed commitment, was a signal that a strong return to national television as in WOW's near future, which happened in 2019, via AXS TV. This was the beginning of WOW's modern era, featuring an upgrade in production values, a new generation of female athletes, and a continued focus on blending in-ring action with character development.
In 2021, Women Of Women achieved its best distribution deal yet, forming a partnership with Paramount Global Content Distribution, resulting in WOW airing in national broadcast television syndication beginning in 2022. WOW's product moving to broadcast television nationally significantly expanded WOW's reach, attracting a viewership of over 300,000 via syndication without having a prime-time cable slot. WOW presented its unique blend of athleticism and performance, and WOW's viewership numbers suggested that it has a loyal audience and broad appeal that allows it to succeed across various local stations and time slots. It solidified WOW's position as a prominent player in the modern wrestling scene, demonstrating the growing demand for diverse, high-quality women's sports content, and increasing its potential for greater mainstream recognition.
WOW has always been more than just a wrestling product; it's a platform dedicated to empowering female athletes and telling their stories in a unique way. Its decision to being character-driven, combined with a strong emphasis on athleticism, offers a distinct flavor in the wrestling world. It appeals to a broad demographic, from long-time die-hard wrestling fans to families simply looking for accessible, engaging entertainment.
With its strong TV presence via Paramount Global Content Distribution, the future of WOW looks positive, with there being the possibility for continued expansion and influence. Looking ahead, WOW can further grow its diverse roster of Superheroes, and as new talent emerges and existing characters evolve, the possibilities within WOW are limitless, ensuring that fan interest will remain high. Most importantly, Selina Majors continues to be a part of WOW, utilizing her knowledge as a trainer and mentor, directly shaping and developing the next generation of WOW Superheroes. Majors' passion for women's wrestling and her dedication to passing on her expertise are fundamental to WOW's mission and success, making Majors a cornerstone of the organization.
Beyond traditional broadcast, there's a significant opportunity for WOW to enhance its digital and international footprint, which it will be doing in the near future. Paramount Global Content Distribution is going to launch Wrestling Central, a free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel on The Roku Channel in the United States and Canada, which will include weekly matches from WOW.
Currently, there is already a 24-hour streaming channel dedicated to WOW programming on Pluto TV, a free ad-supported streaming television service owned by Paramount Global that has 80 million monthly active users and is available in the Americas and Europe. WOW leveraging Wrestling Central will amplify its reach in North America.
In addition, further strengthening its social media engagement will also amplify WOW's reach, drawing in fans who appreciate its unique brand of sports entertainment. The ongoing success of WOW will also be an inspiration and benchmark for other women's wrestling promotions, further fueling the overall growth and innovation within the industry, and paving the way for future generations of female wrestlers.
As someone who closely follows the evolution of women's wrestling globally, it's clear that WOW holds an important place. Its history is a testament to perseverance, adapting its format and distribution while staying true to its values and its mission. The journey of WOW is a powerful reminder that compelling characters and athletic ability, when combined with a clear vision and unwavering dedication, create a lasting legacy in professional wrestling.
As a US-based writer with extensive global experience in the wrestling industry, my blog has many readers in both the US and Japan who share an appreciation for the history and intensity of Japanese wrestling, so many times I have posted about events that would be of interest both domestically in Japan and internationally. This August, there will be an independent event that I am looking forward to taking place.
It's exciting when an independent wrestler produces their own show, entertaining fans while also building their own personal brand. Ever since 2019, Sae has called Yanagase Pro Wrestling her home promotion, and became an original member of Ladius, the ladies' division of YPW. Now, the YPW standout has announced that she will be producing her own 30th Birthday Celebration Show, titled 【サンジュウジャー】 (Sanjujar –"30-Hero"), which is very appropriate, considering Sae's passion for Super Sentai, a Japanese superhero team. A wrestler who is prominent for creating a career that is unique to her in order to showcase her talents, ambition, and individual style, this personal show is a significant milestone for Sae and a great opportunity to celebrate her career in a distinctive way. The event is set to take place on August 23, 2025, at Kobe Motomachi Ring Soul (Hyogo Prefecture, Kobe City, Chuo Ward, Motomachi Dori 2-chome 9-1, Motomachi Plaza Building B1F). Doors will open at 7:00 PM JST, with the show starting at 7:30 PM JST.
The wrestlers who will be participating in Sae's birthday event include:
Shigehiro Irie (former KO-D Openweight Champion)
"brother" YASSHI (former AJPW star)
Yusaku Ito (as seen in DDT, BJW, Ice Ribbon, and WAVE)
Van Vert Jack (former DDT Iron Man Heavy Metal Champion)
Tsuyoshi Okada (former DDT Iron Man Heavy Metal Champion)
Mikiya Sasaki (as seen in AJPW, DDT, BJW, ZERO1, and WAVE)
Van Vert Negro (as seen in DDT)
Hiroaki Taniguchi (as seen in BJW and ZERO1)
Yu Shimizu (as seen in Michinoku Pro)
Maori Kawashima
CoCo
In addition, Drake Morimatsu (as seen in DDT, BJW, AJW, Ice Ribbon, JWP, and PURE-J) will be a special guest. Although this event will take place on August 23, Sae's actual birthdate is August 21, which is Moritmatsu's birthday as well.
All-standing tickets for Sanjujar are available for 4,000 yen (with a separate 600 yen charge for a drink). These can be reserved by contacting Sae on X here.
Sae has also announced special sponsor-exclusive seats, limited to just 20 individuals. These come with various tiers of benefits:
10,000 yen Tier: Includes a limited portrait, sticker, and towel (and the all-standing ticket fee).
30,000 yen Tier: Includes everything from the lower tier, plus a T-shirt, acrylic keychain, and a guaranteed reserved seat.
50,000 yen Tier: The ultimate supporter package, includes everything from the lower tiers, plus a limited acrylic keychain, Sae's entrance music CD, and an all-wrestler signed poster art acrylic stand, along with a guaranteed reserved seat.
Being that the number of special sponsor seats is very limited, interested fans are encouraged to inquire early with Sae via direct message.
Sae's initiative to produce her own event speaks volumes about the passion and dedication within the Japanese independent wrestling scene held by Sae and other wrestlers. These wrestler-produced shows are important, allowing talents to enjoy creative freedom and showcase their vision, bring together unique matchups, and connect directly with their most enthusiastic supporters.
The news that WWE Evolution is making its return on July 13, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia, is a huge moment for women's professional wrestling. Seven years after its groundbreaking inaugural event, the confirmation of a second all-women's Premium Live Event is a significant statement on WWE's commitment to its female Superstars and a powerful signal to the entire wrestling world.
With the recent news of Asuka's upcoming return, the possibilities for this historic event have become even more interesting, adding another layer of anticipation to the women's division. Loved by fans and highly respected by her peers, the wrestling world patiently awaited the return to the ring of "The Empress of Tomorrow", a prominent Superstar who is considered by many to be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. A Grand Slam Champion with a unique style and top-level in-ring skills, Asuka’s absence from WWE-TV was very noticeable. She arrived in the company as a charismatic submission master, and later embraced a more comedic style while still utilizing her superb wrestling talent. This transformation makes Asuka appealing to wrestling fans of all types. Last seen tag teaming with Kairi Sane as the Kabuki Warriors in the Damage CTRL faction, Asuka is a top name and one of the aspects of WWE that keeps fans talking- and when it comes to the show now, where there’s talk, there’s the potential for higher viewership numbers.
Women's wrestling consistently ranks as my blog's most popular content, and as I wrote in a blog post last month, television networks are actively scouting for high-quality, female-based competition that can deliver viewership and excitement- and recent data shows a clear upward trend in audience engagement for these types of events. All of this highlights the lasting and extensive interest in this aspect of the industry globally. The return of Evolution is not just a domestic event; it carries international significance, acknowledging the various forms of women's wrestling that are thriving worldwide.
This new Evolution offers WWE a major opportunity to showcase the depth of its current women's roster across both Raw and SmackDown. It's a chance to give opportunities to newer talent and demonstrate the continued evolution of their female competitors. For fans, it's an exciting promise that they will witness an entire card dedicated exclusively to the in-ring skills, athleticism, and charisma of these women.
Since originally writing this post, the exciting news has been announced regarding Asuka's confirmed return, prompting a significant revision of my suggested card to reflect the possibilities for Evolution 2025 and to account for key talent dynamics. The full official card is yet to be announced, but I think interesting matches to see would be:
Jade Cargill & Trish Stratus vs. Alexa Bliss & Charlotte
Asuka vs. Becky Lynch
Stephanie Vaquer & Bayley vs. Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY
Rosemary (TNA star) & Naomi vs. Giulia & Nia Jax
Lyra Valkyria & Natalya vs. Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez
Tiffany Stratton & Zelina Vega vs. Alba Fyre & Chelsea Green
(In addition, Jacy Jayne vs. Jordynne Grace is offically a part of the card)
In an age when women wrestlers take center stage with their matches often either being in the main event or the one that fans are talking about the next day, the return of WWE Evolution is a verification of the importance of women's wrestling and a testament to its growing global appeal. It's a platform where history will be made again, and a moment to celebrate the incredible talent that continues to shape the industry.
Professional wrestling is a spectacle, a captivating blend of athleticism and showmanship. But beyond the action and the drama, there's another element that plays an important role in shaping the wrestlers' personas and enhancing the overall performance: their attire. From the trunks and one-piece athletic wear to the fancy costumes of modern wrestling, the evolution of wrestling attire is a reflection of changing times, evolving styles, and the desire to impress the audience.
In the early days of professional wrestling, attire was often basic. Men usually wore dark trunks or a singlet and black boots. Meanwhile, the women wore solid-color one-piece athletic bathing suits that prioritized coverage and freedom of movement. The focus in both cases was wearing what was needed to do their work in the ring and didn't restrict them from executing necessary athleticism. These early outfits were more about the basic requirements of professional wrestling, and less about character expression.
As wrestling grew in popularity and began to embrace showmanship elements, so too did the wrestlers' attire, with both male and female performers exploring new visual avenues. The wrestlers' personas and presentation became more important. This marked the beginning of wrestling attire as a form of self-expression, allowing wrestlers to develop unique looks that helped them stand out from the crowd and connect with the evolving expectations of the fanbase. Also, wrestlers began to understand that along with their appearance potentially being just as impactful as their in-ring skills in creating a connection with the audience, their attire could be used as another tool to develop unique identities.
Some wrestlers that were supposed to have a powerful presence wore leather or heavier fabrics, while those emphasizing speed & agility tended to wear spandex, which stretched and had a sheen. The introduction of more durable and decorative synthetics also enabled wrestlers to represent more complex concepts, with patterns and vibrant colors becoming increasingly common as a way to visually communicate their unique identities to the audience.
By the late 1990s and early 2000s, the emphasis on having a distinct and visually impactful look remained strong, while wrestlers started wearing revealing designs or attire that strongly reflected a wrestler's specific character and attitude. It was an era with its own unique style.
Today, flashy and distinctive ring gear is fundamental in professional wrestling. It can have bright colors and sparkle, but it also includes unique designs, high-fashion influences, character-specific elements, and even intentionally conservative but notable looks. Wrestlers use their gear as a key part of their branding.
It's worth mentioning that today, it's an established tradition in the Japanese wrestling scene for male rookie wrestlers to wear plain black trunks and black boots. This simple and uniform attire serves as a clear visual marker of their trainee status, emphasizing their need to focus on mastering the fundamentals of wrestling without any distractions of elaborate gear. It symbolizes discipline, humbleness, and respect for the traditions of puroresu and their seniors, highlighting that they must first prove their skills before earning the right to detailed and personalized ring attire as they progress in their careers. Meanwhile, female rookie wrestlers typically wear simpler and less fancy gear compared to more established wrestlers, instead wearing basic wrestling trunks or shorts and a simple top or singlet, with the main focus being on having gear that is comfortable and enables them to wrestle with a full range of motion. In both cases, they earn the right to more elaborate gear as they climb the ranks.
An example of this is Manami, whose wrestling gear showcases a clear change from a more traditional rookie style to a personalized presentation. When she began her career in Sendai Girls back in 2017, Manami wore a black & gold singlet.
Later, after winning the Sendai Girls Junior Championship, Manami began displaying a more individualized look, wearing different styles of attire that featured blue & black with eye-catching designs. This change suggests a growth in her character and confidence as a performer, reflected in a more elaborate and individualized ring presence.
The evolution of wrestling attire reflects changes in norms and fashion trends, impacting how both men and women presented themselves in the ring. As society became more accepting of diverse forms of self-expression, wrestling attire followed suit. Wrestlers began to push boundaries, experimenting with outfits. This evolution also saw the creation of specialized costume designers who catered specifically to the needs and creative visions of professional wrestlers. The best-known example is Sandra Gray, who has worked for both WWE and AEW during her career.
Wrestling attire is a diverse and dynamic landscape for all who step into the squared circle. From the classic trunks and boots, and the earlier athletic one-pieces, to the detailed costumes and accessories, wrestlers use their attire to express themselves, enhance their characters, and connect with their fans. It's a major part of the overall wrestling experience, a visual spectacle that adds another layer of excitement and entertainment to the matches. The evolution of wrestling attire is a testament to the creativity and artistry of the performers, a reflection of changing times, and a vital factor in the ongoing spectacle that is professional wrestling, a tapestry woven by the threads of countless individual styles and expressions.
The combat sports and entertainment industries are evolving, and one trend is the rising popularity and increasing demand for female-oriented competition. From the athleticism of women's wrestling to the vicious battles of women's MMA and the strategic intensity of women's boxing, audiences are enthused like never before. And now, television networks are taking notice, actively seeking engaging female-focused content to captivate their viewers.
There was a period when female-oriented combat sports were presented as novelty acts. Times have changed, as they are now taken more seriously and given the respect they have earned. The talent and dedication of women's wrestling, MMA, and boxing are drawing in a diverse and enthusiastic fanbase, and television networks are recognizing the huge potential.
I've learned firsthand that networks are actively scouting for high-quality, female-based competition that can deliver viewership and excitement- and recent data shows a clear upward trend in audience engagement for these types of events. The appetite is there, and the platform is waiting. If you have a promotion showcasing the talent within women's wrestling, the hard-hitting action of women's MMA, or the skillful displays of women's boxing, now is the time to seize this opportunity.
Television provides an excellent platform to reach millions of potential new fans who might not be aware of your events or athletes. A TV deal elevates your promotion's image and brand recognition, attracting more talent, sponsors, and media attention. Television partnerships can unlock significant new revenue streams through broadcast fees, advertising revenue shares, and increased merchandise sales. Increased exposure on a larger platform can elevate the profiles of your athletes, attracting more opportunities for them and further boosting your promotion.
Are you ready for the spotlight? If your women's wrestling, MMA, or boxing promotion has consistent event schedules, an established talent roster, delivers exciting events and has video to show it, has a dedicated and growing fanbase, and is a product that is ready for a wider audience, I want to hear from you. I have a deep understanding of the combat sports landscape and the changing needs of television networks, and I can introduce your product to them as I bridge the gap, connecting your promotion with the broadcast opportunities that can take your product to the next level.
Don't let this opportunity pass you by. The world is ready for more female-oriented competition. If you believe your promotion has what it takes to captivate a national or international audience, reach out today. Let's discuss how we can bring your vision to a bigger stage and deliver the action and entertainment that viewers are demanding.
Professional wrestling, at its core, is entertainment. While the athleticism and performing are important,a compelling wrestling storyline combined with character development makes fans even more engaged and invested. And behind every storyline is a booking strategy, a creative guideline that guides the direction of the promotion. Comparing the booking strategies of WWE and AEW offers an interesting glimpse into two distinct approaches to this unique form of entertainment, revealing how different philosophies contribute to the shape of the wrestling landscape.
WWE historically operated with a highly centralized and tightly controlled booking strategy under Vince McMahon. However, the creative environment has changed notably. As Chief Content Officer, Triple H oversees all aspects of WWE's creative direction. This change in leadership has reshaped the company's approach to storytelling, character development, and match presentation. Wrestlers' creative input has contributed to more compelling shows, drawing from their own experiences and perspectives. Under Triple H's leadership, WWE wrestlers now have freedom that they previously did not have. An example of increased wrestler input under Triple H is Damage CTRL. After Bayley and WWE's Creative Writing Team pitched the idea of the faction, it was turned down more than once. After Triple H gained full creative control, the faction made its debut at SummerSlam 2022.
WWE's booking has traditionally prioritized spectacle and entertainment value. Big moments, shocking surprises, and larger-than-life personas are things that WWE is known for. Storylines tend to be long-term, unfolding over weeks or even months, with a focus on building anticipation for Premium Live Events. While in-ring work is important, character development and storyline progression are also major focuses.
One of the strengths of WWE's booking strategy is its ability to create mainstream stars. The company has a proven track record of identifying and developing talent, turning them into household names that became bigger than WWE itself. However, the previously top-down approach, with centralized creative control, possibly suppressed creativity in a way. Now, the challenge lies in maintaining consistency and a clear creative vision across the large and complex WWE machine. The increased collaboration and input from more creative voices under Triple H are expected to make achieving this consistency more manageable, with multiple perspectives helping to identify any inconsistencies or plot holes in storylines that might occur.
AEW has always emphasized creative freedom, allowing wrestlers input into their characters and how they are used, embracing a collaborative and decentralized booking strategy. While Tony Khan is the ultimate authority, he works closely with the wrestlers, allowing them input into their storylines and character development. AEW (as well as WWE now) is willing to work alongside wrestlers to create mutually beneficial shows. This collaborative environment encourages creativity and gives wrestlers a noteworthy sense of ownership over their work. Wrestlers' creative input has contributed to more compelling shows, drawing from their own experiences and perspectives as they showcase their individual personalities and in-ring abilities. If a wrestler has input on the development of their character and is motivated to pitch ideas regarding upcoming matches, their morale is increased, and it is reflected in how they perform, making the show more enjoyable for fans.
AEW's booking often prioritizes in-ring work and athleticism. The promotion showcases a diverse range of wrestling styles, from high-flying artistry to demonstrations of technical skills. While storylines are a part of AEW, the company often places a stronger emphasis on showcasing the individual journeys and in-ring capabilities of its wrestlers.
One of the strengths of AEW's booking strategy is that it utilizes an understanding of fan desires, which has enabled the company to grow a loyal and passionate fan base that contributes to the electric atmosphere at their shows, creating a vibrant and energetic live event atmosphere. Meanwhile, AEW's challenge lies in allowing wrestlers to pursue their own narratives while also maintaining consistency in storytelling. Although it can be done, it is much more difficult than there being a single, unifying vision.
The contrasting booking strategies of WWE and AEW reflect two distinctive philosophies about professional wrestling. WWE concentrates on creating a highly polished and entertaining product, still prioritizing spectacle and mainstream appeal even with its changed creative structure, appealing to a broad audience, die-hard and casual wrestling fans alike. AEW, on the other hand, puts more attention on in-ring work and showcasing a variety of wrestling styles, appealing to die-hard wrestling fans.
In the end, both approaches have their strengths and weaknesses. WWE's style equipped the company to become a dominant force in sports entertainment with unparalleled mainstream success, while AEW's style led to explosive growth as it established itself as an alternative to WWE in its strive to reach the top. The ongoing dynamic between these two companies is driving innovation and pushing the boundaries of professional wrestling, both in the ring and behind the curtain.
