What are the characteristics of women’s professional wrestling?

In other words, what it takes to transform a next door girl into a professional wrestler? Many things, including but not limited to: Sexy looks, sex appeal, charisma, character, stamina, physical strength, agility, showmanship, the “art of faking it and making it”, agility, hard training, observed diet, long hours exercises, tough training, kissing asses, compromises, deals on the wheels, the ability and willingness to accept defeat, losses  prefixed matches, injuries, humiliation, deception, and to carry on regardless of the outcomes and pre-destined matches results and consequences. In short, guts, showmanship, sex, diplomacy, strength and determination.

HOW BRIGHT AND EDUCATED ARE THOSE FEMALE WRESTLERS?

More than you think. They are bright (not academically, but in real life), shrewd, smart, businesswomen, practical, fun, very fun, good company, generally giving and generous, good spenders, spontaneous, slick, talented in various areas such as aerobics, acrobatics, dance, fitness, modeling, make-up, wardrobe “tactics”, disguise and very talkative. Some are talented speakers and some others are born provocative mistresses of ceremonies. A considerable number of them are college educated, published authors and musicians.  And of course, a great number of those deadly fighting machines are porno stars or at least porno models!

Caryn Mower has been a Hollywood stuntwoman since 1992 and has appeared in several movies and TV shows, including "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," "Ally McBeal," "Baywatch," and "Red Shoe Diaries." She first decided to pursue wrestling after a failed bid to land a part as a model for a comic book.

Professional wrestler Gail attended the University of Toronto and Ryerson University. Among the topics she studied was kinesiology, the science of human movement, a subject that was one of the majors of fellow Canadian Diva Trish Stratus, who, of course, has been Women’s Champion on multiple occasions, as it was reported by the national media.

 
Chyna Shryne is a tough competitor. She is a college graduate. She majored in Spanish literature and civilization. She was so smart that she graduated from College in two years instead of four. After graduation, she traveled to Europe and became fluent in three more languages, Spanish, German, and French.

At 18, she got a degree in French at East Carolina University before working as a receptionist for a Washington law firm. She ended up with a job in probate, which is where she got a lot of her business training. Mrs. McMahon is one America’s most successful business persons and recognized leaders in the world of sales, executive management, promotion, public relations and leadership. She reigns over a billion Dollar empire. Without any doubt, she is to be recognized as one of the most brilliant minds in corporate America.

ARE WOMEN CRAZY??

They fight everywhere. In the mud. In oil bath. In foam. In substances. Naked. Topless. Against men. And they do it for money! At least, the honest ones would admit it.

                    Oil Wrestling                                                                  Mud Wrestling                         Foam Wrestling

                    Pond Wrestling                                     Underwater Wrestling                                River Bank Wrestling

Perhaps, one of the most popular form of female entertaining wrestling is wrestling in various liquid and sticky substances, such as water, oil, mud, jelly, foam (and probably more). Some advantages of such styles can be noticed. First, shining wet bodies look even more attractive. Then, lubrication reduces frictions of contestants’ bodies. Besides, the mud wrestling helps to hide nudity a bit. Mud or oil wrestling matches are often held in restaurants, in clubs or outdoor. A special “ring” is installed which usually constitutes a small pool or a tub where some substance is placed. Another way – to anoint contestants’ bodies with oil before a match. Sometimes even boxing matches take place in substances. One more popular form of wrestling in liquid substances is various contests in water. A lot of forms exist here. For instance, wrestling in sumo-like style on a small raft installed in the middle of a swimming pool where losers fall (sometimes both contestants). Another case is a “horse battle” in a reservoir where girls are struggling “horseback” sitting on the shoulders of their partners (of either sex) and trying to take their opponents down into the water. Even underwater wrestling exists (with aqualungs and even without them). Female battle in reservoir is a popular subject in movies. On a DWW festival two girls engaged in impressive wrestling match in a small pond. In our opinion the shot of the match is one of the best among photographs devoted to women and sports. It’s easy to wrestle in water; it’s an excellent shock absorber, and it makes wrestling softer and pleasant. To complete the picture we can also consider wrestling in sand, which is a popular fun frequently represented in movies.

THE QUEENS OF WRESTLING

 Photos, left & righ below: Former World Champion, Madusa (Debra Miceli) aka Alundra Blayze has an extensive pro-wrestling record.  She obtained her first title - the AWA Women's title - in December 1987. After losing the title, Madusa returned briefly to nursing. She captured the IWA World title, and at the end of 1990, she was voted All-Japan Inspirational Wrestler of the Year. 

Women are even at an advantage because of their body shape. "Women tend to have shorter legs than men," he says. "Stability is everything in sumo, and women benefit because their centre of balance tends to be naturally closer to the ground." The risk of injury is minimal, too, because it is one of the more straightforward martial arts. The idea is to push your partner out of a 4.5-metre round ring, or force him or her to touch the ground with any part of their body other than the soles of their feet. There are 48 legitimate techniques for doing this, but kicking, punching and hair-pulling are not allowed. Psychological toughness is also key to winning sumo contests. Pateman says 90 per cent of a sumo bout has been won before it begins. He encourages Freebury to adopt a frightening demeanour, and giggling is forbidden. Ritualised eyeballing (shikiri) is as important as the wrestling. In Japan, sumo wrestlers stick to a diet of a rich broth of vegetables, dumplings and meat. Freebury prefers steak and pasta salads, and only on training days. Freebury clearly loves her sport, but she is not convinced it will become popular among women. "A lot of girls would like it if they gave it a try but they are intimidated by the look of it." In collaboration with our colleagues at the Russian Single Combat Club, in Moscow

Very popular and widespread show is (taped or demonstrated on the scene) – when women wrestle (but more often pretend they do) not for discovery of the strongest opponent but just for specific spectators’ amusement. In contrast to athletic competition, such a show just looks like wrestling match – much more important in it is a demonstration of combatants’ female delights in the contrasting atmosphere of the traditional male activity. In the most of such show untrained women imitate combative sports. Various shows with women wrestling are incredibly widespread – they are circulating in millions copies on video and on the WEB. Such a show imitates wrestling of two women (or sometimes several tangled bodies). Many female wrestling shows are taped for sale and propagated in photos, pictures, video clips, cartoons and comics.

Sometimes wrestlers act topless or nude. If wrestlers wear bikini at the beginning of the match unlikely they would be able to hold them at the proper body part until the very end – such show may be called “strip wrestling”. One of the new forms of strip wrestling is the Russian invention “Erotot” where girls are battling for tearing opponent’s clothes away. The girl who manages to expose an opponent first is declared a winner. The girls claim they fight for real and take pleasure in this competition (which seems to correspond to their natural bursts), although participating in the show is paid well. While you can imagine two topless women really boxing (if arranged not to punch to breasts), in a wrestling match unprotected breasts make it difficult to really wrestle. But from strip show perspective wrestling better than boxing allows demonstrating female delights in match dynamics.

Not all such shows are strip shows though. Variety of wrestling forms are organized: fat (tall, hairy) women wrestling, wrestling in any possible (and impossible) place: beach, meadow, snow, pond, bed – and many more. Many forms of so-called apartment wrestling may be classified as show wrestling. Usually such “wrestling” takes place on a king-size bed or next to it, which should remind spectators, some sweet things. Apartment wrestling is a favorite plot of movies and video films: two girls stay in a motel or one visits another at her home; they quarrel or just start amusing themselves. Then a “bed tussle” begins (sometimes with Lesbian nuances).

Zee: “My opinion about female wrestlers who wrestle men for money? One step from prostitution. They degrade the sport by claiming they are real wrestlers but they are not real. Most of them don't train nor do they know how to wrestle… Because of my build and looks, I think people stay away from me. It's great because people leave me alone.”

In an interview, professional wrestler “Lady Victoria” explained: “Professional wrestling is "sports entertainment". We put our health on the line every time we step into the ring. Bruises and jammed joints are common. Must be athletic. Willing to listen and learn. No room for a big ego. There is no difference between male and female professional wrestling. I was trained with men. I wrestle like the men. I am not frail and would prefer to wrestle men. I have had many good matches with men. Not many ladies want to wrestle me. Men are afraid of me. Professional wrestling  is only fatal if a lady is not trained properly…I wrestle them for money. Have been doing this for 7 years. Grappling is also my sport of choice. I don’t wrestle for fun, This is how I make my living. I would go to jail if I were to fight on the street. I am a pro wrestler and could hurt anyone if I fight. I do not party or go to bars just because of this problem. I am very domestic. I have my husband, my home, my 3 dogs, 2 kids. I go to bed at 10:00. Don't do drugs, don't drink alcohol.
