I haven't posted In a while (well, probably only a month!), so here is a quick Q and A with the enticing Ultra Violet from The London Wrestling Studio, http://www.londonwrestlingstudio.co.uk/, who as well as possessing one of the best names in the business, has a growing reputation alongside a growing fan base. A perfect mix of fun and menace ?
So how did you get recruited for LWS ? Were you looking for fighting work?
UV: Literally typed in 'not boring jobs' and on an article found a 6 year old post Honey wrote recruiting for girls
It says on your profile that you are an “experienced kickboxer”. So besides wrestling, do you offer kickboxing and other things ?
Yes I love to kick and punch I guess I offer all sorts but I tend to just be asked to wrestle
Everyone remembers their first wrestling session. How did yours go ?
My first session im pretty sure i kept on getting put in kimuras or arm bars i cant quite remember, it was a frustrating but great fun.
I know some girls like to keep their wrestling activities a secret – are you okay with people knowing or do you prefer to keep it private?
Yeah everyone knows I wrestle i think, the people that matter don't mind and the people that mind can go fuck themselves
Does your name reflect your personality ? Menace and sweetness ?
Ha i never thought of it like that but that is very accurate of my personality, was considering Ultra Violence first but I think i come across as too cute!
I take it you have a day job – would you ever want to grapple full-time, or do you think that would be difficult as the scene has many wrestlers?
I am a student currently, i wouldn't mind being a full time wrestler at all. If the work in the U.K was thin i would perhaps visit a european country france/Germany and session there
It seems to be getting pretty congested in London – lots of different places offering wrestling . I’ve heard some stories about there being rivalry between particular organisations there. How has it been for you ?
There is a fantasy element to our industry and I think in this case it is more the blokes imagining things. No rivalries other than business is business
I imagine you are often asked to do wrestling video work and a lot of companies often feature topless or nude matches which can be quite lucrative. Is that something you might consider or are you focused on competitive fighting ?
I dont judge anyone for doing that but i'm too shy and there's nothing worse than looking awkward and uncomfortable.
I think it's more that the women themselves are sexy and glamorous not exactly the industry
id be lying if i said no but i'd be unprofessional if i said specificities. there are much more upsides, i'm truly glad to have met my colleagues
What are you plans for the rest of the year – in LWS and outside.
Perhaps travelling abroad to wrestle but Uni work is very hectic as of late
Finally, what do you do to unwind away from the mat?
I think its more a case of I use the mats to unwind from day to day life!
