Interview with Emily and Dann Read from Pro-Wrestling: EVE
This episode of Holy Shoot is an interview with Emily and Dann Read from Pro-Wrestling: EVE.
We had always planned to air this episode as part of Women's History Month, celebrating this ground-breaking feminist-punk-rock wrestling promotion that has continually played a major part in the popularity and increased exposure of the female professional wrestling scene. With the sad news that Emily is backing a step back from EVE this week, it felt even more important to share the interview. Both Emily and Dann were in fine form when we interviewed them in the run-up to Wrestle Queendom 3 back in January.
This interview was conducted for and included in Women Love Wrestling, a collection of passionate writing from women and about women in wrestling written, by fans, wrestlers, podcasters, journalists, promoters, culture critics and academics.
