Professional wrestling
The beautiful hybrid of a street fight and a drag show
I’ve been involved with pro wrestling for five years now, working primarily as a ring announcer and show emcee. In that time, I’ve performed internationally, hosted dozens of shows, and sold thousands of tickets. Now, I manage my own promotion.
I started out with Copenhagen Championship Wrestling (C.C.W.), where I made my in-ring debut at their Ragnarok Royal Rumble event at Copenhagen’s DGI Byen in April 2018.
In 2021, I founded Nordic Elite Wrestling (N.E.W.) along with seven friends from the CCW crew. It’s been a ton of fun, a lot of work, and a big success so far. We sold out every show in our debut year.

Putting on a show:
what’s involved?
- Team leadership: Running internal meetings, recruiting crew, scheduling and coordinating roles and setup plans for the day of the show
-
Creative storytelling: Helping develop compelling characters for wrestlers, and structuring dramatic fights
- Graphic design: Creating posters, online graphics and social media assets to promote each show
- Broadcasting: Recording promotional advertisements and live commentary to boost awareness weeks in advance
- PR / Promotions: Writing and sending press releases to local journalists
- Public speaking: Engaging live crowds throughout a 2.5-hour show
The voice of N.E.W.
Above all else, I’m known as the face, lungs and windpipe of Nordic Elite Wrestling. I love doing it, and it’s a great excuse to buy cowboy boots.
You can hire me to do this sort of thing at weddings or bingo games too. Cash only.
Here’s 2 minutes of me hollering.

Jessica Love vs. Iva Kolasky
Putting freebie matches out on Youtube has been a great way to spread N.E.W.’s name across the net.
Here’s Jessica Love versus Iva Kolasky, from N.E.W.’s “HEAT WAVE” event at Onkel Dannys Plads in Vesterbro, July 16th 2022.
Wrestling meets Eurovision
I worked with Universal Music and Fyr og Flamme, Denmark’s 2021 Eurovision Song Contest entrants, to shoot a wrestling-themed music video together with N.E.W.
I brokered the deal, acting as liason between band members, wrestlers and Universial Music’s team. I also worked as a supervisor on set.
Here’s a link to the music video on Youtube. ︎
