SheWrestles Roundup

Rain?? Goddamnit!!

With a morning shoot scheduled today, I checked the weather report last night at around 1am and sure enough, the forecast called for clouds and a 30% chance of rain.

They obviously missed a '0' - by 6am, it was pouring and everything was soaked. Since I'd been up until 3am (don't ask), it didn't occur to me to call everyone right away in order to cancel. Instead, I fell back asleep until about 8. Oops.

It wasn't raining and the sun had begun to peek out a little bit, and I knew that people were already on their way to the park, so I did a little scrambling and secured a conference room for us at the local hotel. I then phoned everyone to inform them of the change. Only one problem - there were 2 new girls whose number I did not yet have. Jessica reached the park at around 9:30 and called me to get the scoop. After mustering up just before 10, I met Jessica and Ryan. Amanda, as always, was early and all ready to rock. I had to go pick up our other set of mats, so Pete went over to the park to look for our other newbie. I returned about 15 minutes later and met Elizabeth for the first time. Phoenix was out with an injury, but Julie was there. Margarita and Hollywood had phoned to let me know they were a little behind schedule, so after getting the paperwork taken care of, we began.

With the dual-mat setup and over 2-1/2 hours of shoot time at our disposal, we were certain to get a ton of material today and that's exactly what we did.

The lineup: Rachel, Amanda, Julie, Margarita, Jessica, Elizabeth, Hollywood, Ryan.

Julie was the dominant force once again today. Once she locks those crushers around your midsection, it's really up to her to decide when the match will end. BUT, with each fall, the newer girls are becoming more and more adept at avoiding and sometimes even escaping her lethal thigh trap.

Rachel is the most muscular wrestler in our talent pool. She's a fitness instructor and says that she does about 2 hours of cardio a day to remain so lean. You could sharpen an ax blade on those abs of hers. If you're into lean, ripped feminine muscle, then you'll definitely want to check out all her matches.

Amanda is fierce and strong and I'm always amazed at how far she's come since our first shoot a year ago. Any opponent who estimates her because of her size or good looks is making a serious mistake. She scored a victory by pin over Ryan today. That was hot.

Margarita is not only sexy and athletic, but she's got incredible stamina and a high pain tolerance. Although not nearly as experienced as Julie or Rachel, she pushed both women to the limit. She and her girlfriend, Hollywood, were a great matchup, and I can't wait to see how her match against Amanda turned out. I want to try get her a lot more falls in 2007, because I think she's got the potential to become one of our top lightweights.

Jessica was such a cutie. She'd first replied to one of our ads back in the fall, but because of scheduling, we weren't able to get her until today. She had always wrestled with her brothers when she was younger, but had been looking for girls or guys to roll with for the longest time.

Enter SheWrestles.

When we were going over some of the basic moves with her, she said, "Oh, I'm really good at scissors, because my mother always told me those were the best thing to use on boys". Oh yeah, this is gonna be good.

Elizabeth is a former college soccer player. She had no idea what to expect when she walked in today, but she's got so much core strength (and wait until you see her LEGS!) and natural athleticism that I know she's going to be a winner. The instructors and I couldn't help but note how closely she studied the techniques involved. I'm hoping that she can get more practice in between now and the next time we shoot.

Hollywood is drop-dead gorgeous. There, that had to be said. Tall and lean, this model is a *lot* stronger than she looks. She was a referral from Margarita and the two of them could not have been more perfectly matched. Margarita pretty much has the green light from me on bringing more of her hot friends along in the future.

Ryan wasn't our first choice, but he turned out to be an absolute gem. The girls LOVED him...I mean, how could they not? He's in a band! lol When I told him we'd actually selected another guy, he asked what his name was and as fate would have it, the other guy was his roomie! (The other guy had flown back to Florida to assist with a family emergency, so that's why we hadn't gotten confirmation from him, but I think it worked out even better.) He's moving back to Florida this week, but plans to work in both FL and CA, so we'll make an effort to get him back in the future.

Ok, that was a long intro, so I'll close for now and then start reviewing the footage tonite. Be on the lookout for some sample pics later today.

  • Amazing material mate!
    I have watched all the clips and i liked all of them but nothing come close to the clips with Julie. She is so calm, relaxed and methodical. I thought Rachel would obliterate her by sheer force but my goodness Julie just kept her cool and had her way. I would travel the atlantic to have a go with her although i know she would destory me without breaking sweat lol!
    I would love to see Julie vs a guy that can give her a fight because she only used like 50% vs poor Ryan ;-)
    Good stuff mate, keep it up!
