About Me v2.0!
Hey there! I'm Mel (21+, she/her, GMT +8). Still a lover of the three Ws of (w)reading, writing, and wrestling, along with music and video games and all that, but this blog is going to be almost exclusively focused on prowres. Started watching in earnest in the late 2000s (WWE), fell in love with it thanks to early 2010s AmeriWres indys, only started participating in fandom two years ago. Nowadays I'll watch just about anything and have a lot of faves, but for quick reference here're the active promotions, arranged alphabetically, I check out at least semi-regularly, as well as my favorite roster wrestlers therein (not in order):
AEW: Roderick Strong, Speedball Mike Bailey, Jamie Hayter, Willow Nightingale. I miss you, Chuck Taylor.
CMLL: Templario, Zandokan Jr.
Dragon Gate: U-T, Kzy. Re: classic DG, bow down to the greatness that is Magnum TOKYO. Super Shisa is a really cool wrestler, too.
NJPW: Zack Sabre Jr., Yuya Uemura, Yota Tsuji, Master Wato, Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI. Of historical members of Nooj, Osamu Nishimura is literally the one guy I know for sure is on my Mt. Rushmore of graps.
Marvelous: Maria, Riko Kawahata, Senka Akatsuki, Sora Ayame.
Sendai Girls: Chihiro Hashimoto, Manami, Mika Iwata.
TJPW: Miu Watanabe, Uta Takami, Shino Suzuki, Arisu Endo, Kira Summer, Shoko Nakajiima. I like literally all of them though bar like 3 names. I miss Yuka Sakazaki in Teej. Also, Sayuri Namba is the GOAT ring announcer.
Specific scene-wise, I also have a fondness for 80s-90s joshi (shoutout Mayumi Ozaki), the modern joshi ecosystem (hi VENY and Chi Chi!), and late 2000s to mid 2010s AmeriWres indy wrestling and history (some things don't change, LOL): PWG, RoH, CHIKARA, all that.
DMs and asks are open. Feel free to say hi/discuss stuff/send recs and GIF requests, even! I like chatting :)
