About me

About Kayfabe Diary

Hi! I’m Marko Simonen. I’ve been involved in Finnish pro wrestling since April 2010. I’m currently working with SLAM! Wrestling Entertainment.

Mostly, people know me as the photographer, but there’s a bigger picture. It never felt right to just watch local wrestling, I wanted to help build it. That’s partly why I wanted to set up this website, to slowly start going through my folders and see what’s there.

Kayfabe Diary is my visual language of the squared circle, a creative archive forged in the trenches, along with random stories. This is the intersection of performance and reality.

Check out some pro wrestling shirts, while you’re here. You can also find me on Instagram @kayfabe_diary, and if you wish, you can take a look at my commercial work.

Marko Simonen is a photographer and graphic artist in Finland. Marko is a founding member of SLAM! Wrestling Entertainment and works actively in professional wrestling.
