Meet Marilyn: A Pole-Dancing New Japan Pro Wrestling Fan, And Your Next Hopeless Crush

Marilyn is a cosplaying, pole-dancing, NJPW superfan, and oh…jeepers…haha, whoops, just about lost my grip on my kinsey scale rating for a second. Wrestling and burlesque have had a long relationship, even today with places like Lucha VaVOOM and Lucha Britannia. As a fellow enthusiast of dressing up like dude wrestlers (and doing a fantastic job of it), I’m pretty sure she might be my new favourite lady on the internet. Check out her Shinsuke Nakamura themed-act, and try your best not to fall in love:

There’s an additional, more recent video here.

As a reminder, Shinsuke had a poledancing-themed entrance at Wrestle Kingdom 8 (of which all videos seem to have mysteriously vanished), was the Wrestling Observer 2014 Wrestler of the Year, and has a theme song that will get stuck in your head for actual weeks. Marilyn is crazy beautiful, and her Nak outfits are my new aesthetic goal.

Oh yeah. Crush confirmed.
