One of the main ideas behind this website was the ability to make professional wrestling from all around the world accessible with one click. It was about discovering new national, regional and local wrestling scenes that people may have been interested in but didn’t know where to find this information. But in order to do this, I knew that I had to do more than just provide a dot on a map. I had to provide a starting place that would help you on your journey of wrestling discovery. But I’m not an expert on all of the wrestling scenes that are featured on this site. So that’s why I needed a tag team partner. I lay the ground work with the map and then I make the hot tag into my partner to clean house.
Here at the Hot Tag, the goal is to introduce you to a wrestling scene. To give you the important facts to help understand it and provide you with a starting point when diving headfirst into exploring this new scene. Each of my “tag partners” in this series are experts in their field. They either currently write or report on it, post on a blog about it or participate in it themselves.

British Columbia and Western Canada have had a thriving professional wrestling scene for a long time. Dating all the way back to the territory days before the WWF’s national (and then global) expansion.
