As a Bluesy intro to my (sporadicly updated) personal blog, here's a thread of spotlight posts: career retrospectives & tributes I've written about/for several amazing women wrestlers over the years including retirements, major career changes, & sadly a few memorials.
Wait... Zero Hour talking heads stuff is still on YouTube but the actual pre-show matches are a separate thing and not being shown because they have to be Max exclusive? My lord that's dumb.

Time for #senjo and Chihiro's 10th Ann show. I was lucky enough to see her vs Sareee live years ago, and I can't wait for tonight's match.
And I am just as psyched to see Dash vs Maria. Whole show's gonna rock.

Shimmer Wrestling was the reason for the first trip I ever took to watch wrestling, and introduced me to a ton of favorites including a number of joshi which would lead to my first trip to Japan and heavily influence my fandom to this day.
Happy 20th Anniversary to a beloved and missed promotion.

In the two weeks going into her 30th Anniversary show Emi Sakura is wrestling on 4+ different promotions, including reuniting with Yunamon, and wrestling against Riho, Ram, Chihiro, Yuu, Mizuki, and so on. And the actual anniversary match isn't announced yet. Incredible.
