Thekla’s Cold-Blooded Plot To Rule Stardom
The dazzling lights of Akihabara at night often cast shadows that obscure the grittier underground of idol culture. Waves of otaku (obsessed fans), tourists, and die-hard gamers make their pilgrimages to Electric Town with its specialty shops, cosplay cafes, and video game arcades. However, for “The Toxic Spider” Thekla, it’s a stark reminder of why she became “The Idol Killer.”
THEKLA’S CULTURE SHOCK began in 2019. That was the year she traveled to Japan in order to study pro wrestling under Tsukasa Fujimoto in the Ice Ribbon Dojo, which has been a training grounds for the likes of Giulia and Hikaru Shida. Standing out for her agility, toughness, and proficiency in multiple languages, Thekla left her mark on the promotion as one of the many names to win the Triangle Ribbon championship. But for all she learned, she also received a crash course on the impact of idol culture.
