Let’s talk WrestleQueerdom!
Hello! We’re promoting an upcoming wrestling event, WrestleQueerdom 8.6 in the Hampshire Dome! It’s a first-of-its-kind event for Western wrestling, being an event composed entirely of transgender/nonbinary/otherwise gender non-conforming talents in the world of professional wrestling! We’re very excited for this event on August 6th and we want to share all of the goings on with all of you!
First things first, if you wanna watch the event either in person or online, the links are as follows:

The virtual Meet & Greet options are VENY (She/Her), Candy Lee (She/Her), Sazzy Boatright (They/Them), Kidd Bandit (Any/All) and Gisele Shaw (She/Her.) The schedule is on the website!
Commentary will be provided by our friend Gwen Neodonna (They/Them/She/Her/It/its) , and the ring announcer for the event is Wren Hawthorne (They/She.)
Now that we’ve gotten all of that out of the way I’d like to run down the card for you guys!
First to talk about is our Main Event match, VENY (She/Her) vs. Edith Surreal (She/Her)! This is VENY’s United States debut, and for such a monumental occasion we wanted to go all out and get her the best opponent possible. Enter Edith Surreal, who I feel is maybe the best wrestler on the independent scene today. Can Edith solidify that spot by taking down one of the best wrestlers in the entire world, or will VENY be the one to shine in her first match on American soil? I don’t know but I expect it to be a really great showing from both of them and something that fans will be taking to the MOTY ballots. There is no better way to cap off this historic evening than with this real international dream match.
The next match we’re talking about is the Diva Throwdown, as the Ultimate Diva Candy Lee (She/Her) takes on the Quintessential Diva Gisele Shaw (She/Her.) Gisele is one of the most accomplished women’s wrestlers in the UK over the past few years I’d wager, dominating in companies like PROGRESS and RevPro. Meanwhile Candy’s career was kinda put on hold during the lockdown, despite 2020 looking like it was for sure going to be her breakout year. Now Candy is back, and after winning the Grand Prize championship at Paris is Bumping she’s looking for more competition. These two both profess themselves to be Divas so we’re here to see who the most Total Diva is among them.
Max the Impaler (They/Them) was the first talent announced for WrestleQueerdom, and they came to the show looking for a fight. Kota Holliday (She/They) might not be good enough or famous enough to call Max out, but that’s what Kota chose to do. Kota has said it herself, she wants Max to put her in the dirt. And I don’t think Max has any objections to their proposal. This one will be violent. It’s gonna fucking rock.
Eden von Engeland (They/Them) and Shea McCoy (She/Her) have had something of an accidental rivalry over the last couple of years. Perhaps its because of their similar backgrounds but they often find themselves facing off with each other... And Eden has come up on the winning side every single time. With two singles wins over Shea and two tag wins, can Eden maintain this dominance over their rival or will Shea finally be able to get one up on them? Will the traditional wrestling rules benefit either of them as opposed to the CFU or UWFi rules matches they’ve had in the past? Only one way to find out and that’s to watch the match.
In the last year, Kidd Bandit (Any/All) has taken the world by storm with a unique array of offense, a great aesthetic and a general positive attitude towards their community. Their growth is almost unprecedented within wrestling. Don’t Die Miles (He/They) is another really fantastic, uniquely talented younger wrestler with similar nerdy characteristics and good vibes. I put them together for the specific purpose of having high flying exciting action, and I think it’s gonna be an absolute spectacle for the world to see.
Richie Coy (they/them) and Zeke Mercer (they/them) are two really underrated wrestlers who deserve bigger platforms and this match entirely exists for more people to see how good they are.
The final match of the evening is one I’m really excited for, the UNO Battle Royale. 8 wrestlers will enter, divided into groups of 2 based on the colors of UNO Cards, into a battle royale with a final entrant, the WILD CARD, being a surprise participant. Current confirmed entrants are Cameron Saturn, Nick Pierce, Sazzy Boatright, Joan Jetson and Anastasia Morningstar. This is in no way inspired or based off of any similar match concepts.
We’ll also have two spectacle attractions, first up being THE ROAST OF CANDY LEE as hosted by Eddy Joanne-Elizabeth McQueen! We all love Candy and we’re all gonna have a good time with this one, even if she throws hands over it.
Finally, we will induct the first member of the TransGraps Transgender Wrestling Hall of Fame!
So that’s everything you need to know about our spectacular event, the first of its kind in the western scene, only second in the entire world to Dynamite Vamp. I hope you support us, thank you for reading all of this! We can’t wait to build a further connection with the tumblr community.
