Using a dataset of matches in 2025 that women wrestlers participated in, I generated this interactive 3d network graph which shows the strength of the relationships between all the women professional wrestlers in the world (this year).

i will admit to not appreciating miu/shoko: texas edition nearly as much as i should’ve on first and even second watch, back when i humored myself into thinking i was gonna cover all the stateside shows
