It's been a while, but I'm back with another article in the Spotlighting The Indies series.

This edition covers one of the best wrestlers in the Japan Dragon Gate promotion right now, Naruki Doi.

This is a must read for any wrestling fan looking to broaden their horizons past wrestling in North America, or anybody that is the even least bit interested in puroresu.

Hey,

Usain Bolt has left the world speechless again, but how does his Berlin performance compare to that of Jesse Owens 73 years earlier? Have a look, comment, and rate if you have the time!

Here's part four of the Australian Wrestling Chronicles, which is also my entry for Matthew Hester's CvC competition. I think it's the best of the series so far.

My latest piece may be my best yet. I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Jeff Leen, assistant managing editor of investigations for the Washington Post, about his new book, "Queen of the Ring." This article looks at the life and times of women's wrestling pioneer Mildred Burke and the new book telling the forgotten story of her life, career and legacy.
