Interview: Dann Read and Emily Read from Pro-Wrestling: EVE

Women Love Wrestling: 4 Horsewomen

(Repost of an episode of the Holy Shoot podcast from early 2020)

Back in 2019-2020 when working on the Women Love Wrestling anthology I was also a part of Holy Shoot - A Wrestling Podcast team. I used this platform to share some of the interviews conducted for the book, one of which was a 90 minute discussion with Emily Read and Dann Reed of Pro-Wrestling: EVE.

Both Emily and Dann were in fine form when I interviewed them in the run-up to Wrestle Queendom 3 back in January 2020. Interview topics include:

• What is Pro-Wrestling: EVE
• Why Does EVE matter?
• Training at EVE Academy and encouraging women to be loud and physical
• How training is different for women compared to men
• How and why Pro-Wrestling: EVE obtain mainstream media attention
• Helping wrestlers develop characters with move sets and promos that make sense for them
• The history of Pro-Wrestling: EVE over the past 10 years that led up to Wrestle Queendom 3
• How the 1st Wrestle Queendom, Europe's largest ever all-female event, came to be
• Women's wrestling being ignored by most wrestling sites
• Stories about Nina Samuels, Charlie Morgan, Rhea O'Reilly and Cara Noir

I've kept the interview in its original form, including the delightful Nina Samuels insulting everyone and my summary of the interview and Women Love Wrestling project (before we became this website), followed by the full interview.
