Used to work in video games, bringing Japanese games to the west, now I'm outside the industry.

I've finally got round to putting a lot of my photos from my trip to Japan last year with @InsideJapan online

@HProtagonista Don't know if we did any super weird ones. There was Elminage Gothic on PSP, which since we only did a print run of 300 each one had a numbered card showing which one you had. (It was a very late PSP release and we had to get permission from Sony for such a small run)

@AlexisLeeXY Res Gal was the first venue I ever saw wrestling live and I miss it so much. Big Penny is pretty cool, but doesn't quite have the same vibe.

Although on the plus side at least the toilets work.

@HProtagonista Not bad thanks, got made redundant last year, but I've got a new job in the music industry. Are you still in Japan? Have to shoot you a message next time I go out there.

It's been a shit show of a season, Frank was the worst manager I've seen at Spurs, fuck knows how he had so long, but we stayed up. Now if we could get rid of every decision maker at Spurs that would be something. Lange isubbish, and the rest bought into the banter club stuff.

@WillOspreay Mirai and Mio Momono, are the two I most want to visit Eve,

Another great @ProWrestlingEVE show. Really fun surprise to see Alexis Lee for the first time since Thailand, and Lallie are always a delight.

[Ross Brierley @Ghostlight_Ross]

@nk147cm Really enjoyed seeing you in the UK. また来てください

Enjoying Demons of the Shadow Realm, the anime series based on the manga by Hiromu Arakawa (The Creator of Fullmetal Alchemist and Silver Spoon), but every time I see the name I can't help but think of that one wrestling Twitter account.

[EVE - Riot Grrrls of Wrestling @ProWrestlingEVE]

As we head into our 16th Anniversary show this Friday - our 5th show over the last 8 weeks, we just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has supported us.

Over the last 8 weeks, EVE will have sold over 2700 tickets, for an all-women’s London-based indie, this is just fantastic.

Don’t let anyone tell you “women’s wrestling doesn’t have an audience.”
It does. We see it every show. And it’s an audience that is growing and rightfully demanding more.

…But this isn’t just a “thank you for supporting us” - it’s also a “thank you for giving us the confidence to push even harder than before.”

We’ll see you this Friday, May 1st in Walthamstow, London for EVE 149: Resist & Riot – The 16th Anniversary Show!

Just 14 seated tickets left at

Had a really good time at @ProWrestlingEVE x @tjpw2013 last night. So many great matches, loved seeing Miyu Yamashita v Shoko Nakajima

[Ross Brierley @Ghostlight_Ross]

@SirJamieH @ProWrestlingEVE @tjpw2013 @miyu_tjp @misao_tjp Had a fantastic time, eve is always a great night out.

[Ross Brierley @Ghostlight_Ross]

@KennyEvil @kashima_saki555 @SocialSuplexNL Really fun double act with Mayu in some of the behind the scenes stuff too. Also an incredibly valuable tournament wrestler, in that she could believable beat or lose to almost anyone, which always brought a bit of suspense to her matches.

[Ross Brierley @Ghostlight_Ross]

@KennyEvil @kashima_saki555 @SocialSuplexNL Great piece, I'm going to miss her so much, I kind of enjoyed baby Saki, before her break, although I've not seen enough Stardom that she really stands out, but after her come back even in her Stars run she was gold.

[Ross Brierley @Ghostlight_Ross]

Ready for the EVExTJPW show tonight. Can't wait to see Shoko Nakajima again. Always been my favourite TJPW wrestler.

[Ross Brierley @Ghostlight_Ross]

@nonc_u お誕生日おめでとうございます！

[Ross Brierley @Ghostlight_Ross]

@KennyEvil We need to go back to the days when Google Translate would call Kyona "Jungle Screaming Woman"

[Ross Brierley @Ghostlight_Ross]

@Toadsanime @_DanBoise_ @bansama I didn't really plan on leaving the industry, I suspect if Ghostlight was still going I'd still be there, but with the way the industry is at the moment I can't help that feel it was a good time to get out.
