The PG Era

The PG Era included WWE’s move toward family-friendly television alongside developments elsewhere in wrestling. TNA and ROH expanded their television presence, while Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada led NJPW’s recovery.

Stardom began holding shows in Japan in 2011, and British independent wrestling gained new promotions like PROGRESS and RevPro. Online video and social media became increasingly common ways to follow wrestlers beyond national television.
