Wrestling Chatter

Hi guys, I'm back this week trying to stick to my promise of having more female wrestling-related content. This week, I'm posting an excerpt from my chapter in the book Women Love Wrestling. It is an amazing project that I was blessed to be part of which brought together writers from across the world to speak about their love and experience with women's wrestling. In an industry that is so male-dominated, this was a book for women, by women and about women. What makes it even more special is that all the proceeds are donated to a number of charities that support women.   So, here is a look at my contribution to the amazing book looking at Diversity in Wrestling Performers  from a UK perspective.  Every little girl dreams of being a princess, a superhero or in my case a badass international superspy. Wrestling is one of those professions where women can be a combination of all three. It is an industry where you can find a role model and see diversity, right? Unlike a ...

Hi guys, I feel like I say this every few months or so, but sorry for being slow on the content but I'm here now! So many wrestling news sites focus on men's wrestling. As a female wrestling fan and journalist, I am ashamed to say that I am one of those people. Because of my passion for New Japan Pro-Wrestling, I look at my blog and see a lack of female presence and articles - this is something I want to change!  As a woman in the industry (both as a journalist and a trainee), I want to make Wrestling Chatter a place that celebrates women in wrestling a lot more because how can I expect equality in the industry if I'm part of the problem. From now on, I am going to try my best to make sure that there is a lot more content on women in wrestling. Hopefully, it can make a small difference and help make people more aware of the amazing female talent there is across the world! So, without further ado, I thought I'd start by telling you who my top 5 female wrestlers are! Miyu...

Hi guys, I'm back with another of my Wrestling Gem series and this time I'm looking at a promotion close to my heart in so many ways. A few months ago, I wrote an article about the truth behind the women's revolution in wrestling and I spoke to Emily and Dann Read from Pro Wrestling: EVE about it and they were so truthful about it. However, even though the article touched upon the revolution as a whole, I don't think it does justice to Pro Wrestling: EVE in general.  Pro Wrestling: EVE is a British independent women's wrestling promotion mainly based in The Resistance Gallery in Bethnal Green and really, for me and so many others, a pioneer in not just British wrestling but women's wrestling as a whole. Founded by Emily and Dann Read, they created this company at a time where women's wrestling wasn't at the forefront of many people's minds, never mind the companies themselves. It was still fillers for many people and women weren't be...
