    Went ahead and updated the sidebar a little bit. Added a better pair of url’s for the kbin backup community (one being a lemmy specific one which should work for your own individual instances).

    I also added a url section below the rules. I’ll still fiddle around with sorting and formatting as time allows but there should be url’s to most wrestling companies I personally have saved, as well as a few news sites and other wrestling-related sites.

    Edit: Think I got pretty much every wrestling promotion I can think of at this point, not counting every hotdog indie out there. Poor little latin america sitting there with 2 companies cause my lucha knowledge extends barely past 90’s WCW/ECW lmao. If I’m missing anything or any of you think of something useful to add, feel free to comment.

      I was going to ask if Kaiju Big Battel counts as a hotdog indie until I realized they probably have a wrestling hotdog monster.

        As someone who regular watches shows that feature a blowup doll and/or a mechanical mummy, please tell me more.

          It’s pretty much pro wrestling meets old Godzilla movies. The wrestlers are all in monster costumes and they have buildings made out of cardboard in the ring to use as weapons. They typically do shows in Brooklyn, although they occasionally go on the road. Lately they’ve been posting old matches on their YouTube channel. They also have a JRPG inspired video game that’s pretty fun.
