About Kayfabe Diary
Hi! I’m Marko Simonen. I’ve been involved in the Finnish pro wrestling scene since about April 2010. It’s been a fun ride and still going 🙂 I think the only job in wrestling I have yet to try is ring announcing. Mostly, people know me as the photographer. That’s partly why I wanted to set up this website, to slowly start going through my archives and try to remember everything I’ve done. Thus, I’ve chosen Kayfabe Diary to be the title of this project.
However, I’m not just a photographer. People close to the inner workings already know me, but I’ve always kept my face out of the picture. I feel that this has made it easier for me to operate. Working behind the scenes is also my personal comfort zone, so let’s see how I’ll feel when doing this little personal branding thingy here. Instead of talking, I guess I prefer my work doing all the talking.
On this website you’ll be seeing a diverse archive of visual work in pro wrestling, along with some random stories. I promise not to embarrass anyone.
