Dani Mo Elevates Pro Wrestling In Nepal

Talk Is Jericho

Dani Mo recently set the world record for the highest elevation women’s pro wrestling match after journeying to Nepal to wrestle on Kala Patthar in the Mt Everest region. Dani wrestled Nepal’s first-ever women’s professional wrestler, Baghawait Unika at 5,600 meters in a homemade wrestling ring carried up the mountain on a helicopter! That’s roughly 18,300 feet or 3.4 miles ABOVE sea level! It’s higher than Mt. Everest base camp which is why they chose that location. Dani details the entire story from her initial invitation from Unika to her 22-hour journey to Kathmandu, Nepal to her harrowing flights in and out of the world’s most dangerous airport in the mountain town of Lukla! She explains what it was like to wrestle on uneven, rocky ground with very little oxygen, how she overcame the language barrier with her opponent, and the unbelievable reason why she had to overdub her promo once she got back to the States.
