Mixed Wrestling

February 23rd, 2010 by No comments »

A lot of people seem to think that competitive mixed wrestling is dangerous or even sexists towards women. If you think this, you obviously do not watch this sport. The women involved in mixed wrestling not only exude sexuality, but most could and have fought their way to the top of the wrestling food chain. Also, you have to take into account that this sport has come a long way since the seventies when Andy Kaufman first made it interesting and popular.

In the beginning women were not allowed to wrestle. Women wrestlers came into the scene officially in the late eighties and early nineties, starting with ‘Sunny’, who debuted with her career as the manager for The Bodydonnas in the WWF. Sunny’s character was the epitome of sexuality. Later on, Marlena and Sable joined the sexy manager roles. Chyna, perhaps the most recognizable female wrestler, entered the scene at the same time as these two sexy WWF managers and she blew the top off of everyone’s idea of what a woman should be.

Sable, also a female wrestler, quickly surpassed her husband (her client at the time), leading to the reinstatement of the WWF Women’s Championship. Sable was one of the first females to compete in specialty matches, such as, competitive mixed wrestling tag team matches (not to be confused with competitive mixed wrestling single matches), and strap matches. Sable went on to become the first self proclaimed WWF Diva in 1999. Her popularity not only opened the way for a more direct push in fans for Chyna, but also made it possible for the women in this sport to be seen as more than mere eye candy.

These women go into the ring facing just as much danger as the men who enter, yet they are still able to fight and claw their way to the top. The women in wrestling have become so popular, in fact, that they have their own championships to battle for. These championships are the WWE Women’s Championship and the WWE Diva’s Championship. This does not stop them from going after the bigger prizes usually reserved for their male counterparts, however, which is where competitive mixed wrestling comes into play. Sometimes the women even manage to surpass the men at their own game.

All of these women go into this with one thing in mind: winning. They have to work harder than most of the men in this sport do because they have to prove to themselves and everyone around them that they can do it. So the next time you think that competitive mixed wrestling is unfair to the women who participate, maybe just maybe, it might be the other way around.

Mixed Competitive Wrestling

February 23rd, 2010 by No comments »

When you think of mixed competitive wrestling, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the WWE Diva’s.  But if you are a parent, perhaps there is another thing that should come to mind:  role models.  Yes, these ladies can and do serve as role models for little girls from all over.  Many parents probably do not think of their little girl doing elbow drops or clothes lines, but why not?  There are plenty of things that many girls would love to do if it wasn’t such a “guy thing.”  Well with mixed competitive wrestling it is no longer just a “guy thing” anymore. 

Just take a look at some of the more well known ladies involved in this sport.  Probably the biggest name in mixed competitive wrestling is Joan Laurer, better known by the name of Chyna.  She advanced through the ranks of wrestling just as well as any male athlete.  During the course of her accomplished career she was a three time WWF Intercontinental Champion and the first woman to enter and compete in the Royal Rumble — talk about mixed competitive wrestling!  She also became the number one contender for the WWF Championship belt and before her retirement in 2001 won the WWF Women’s Championship belt.

All of these achievements were because she chose to get involved in mixed competitive wrestling.

But it wasn’t just Chyna.  There is also Madusa and Jacqueline, who were both cruiserweight champions.  Trish Stratus, who won over the title of Hardcore Champion, is another one to add to the list.  These are all achievements you would normally associate with men only, but thanks to the sport of mixed competitive wrestling, these women are able to leave their marks in the world of wrestling. 

Not all of the women involved in mixed competitive wrestling are portrayed with scantily clad clothing and bad attitudes either.  Look at Molly Holly when she first came onto the scene.  She was a fresh new look compared to some of the other divas as her look and gimmick were more wholesome and toned down.  Another big name for little girls to look up to is Stephanie MacMahon.  She is not just the owner’s daughter anymore; she came on the scene and very quickly rose in the ranks and made a name for herself. 

All of these ladies involved in this sport have one thing in common, they demand respect.  They might do it while oozing sensuality, but these days, “pretty” is tough.

History of Mixed Wrestling

February 23rd, 2010 by No comments »

You might wonder about the history of mixed wrestling. When did it start? Who was the first woman who was actually brave enough to set foot into the ring as a competitor and more than just a piece of eye candy? Following are the first eight ladies to help introduce and make popular the idea of ladies in the ring.

Ethel Brown had a career that took place during the late forties through the mid fifties. You could definitely call her the innovator for the history of mixed wrestling. She began her career in a time when it was unheard of for women to be in the audience of a wrestling match, much less in the ring. She ended up being one of very few women who traveled the country showing faithful followers that women were just as talented and able as their male opponents. Ethel started off as a ringside fan at the age of eighteen and in just a short amount of time went on to become an in-the-ring competitor. She definitely had her share of wins, losses, and even injuries in her seven year career. Recently she was inducted into wrestling’s Cauliflower Alley Club. She has most certainly earned this honor.

Penny Banner helped to bring in the “Golden Age of Wrestling” which constituted the decades of the fifties, sixties, and seventies. Her career took place from 1969 to 1977. During this time she held the first AWA Women’s Championship belt. She also tag teamed with many different partners including, but not limited to, Bonnie Watson, Betty Jo Hawkins, and Lorraine Johnson. As a team, these ladies made sure that no other ladies team dared to attempt to get into the ring with them. Penny is still active and participating in the Senior Games. She specializes now in swimming and field events and still continues to bring home the gold. Penny Banner is a true pioneer in the history of mixed wrestling.

There are other big names helping to write the book on the history of mixed wrestling. Beverly Shade, also known as “The Hammer,” had a long career that spanned from 1969 to 1989. She regularly teamed with both Tracy Richards and Natasha “The Hatchet Lady.” Tracy wrestled from 1975 to 2003, and is semi retired now, working only as a manager to her wrestler husband. Natasha was in the ring from 1969 to 1989 and still remains one of the most recognized competitors in the history of mixed wrestling.

These ladies combined skill, athletics, and beauty to help establish their place in the history of mixed wrestling, paving the way for all women athletes to step into the ring and write a history of their own in this sport.

Competitive Mixed Wrestling And How It Works?

February 23rd, 2010 by No comments »

Competitive mixed wrestling, which is known as intergender wrestling in some circles, is a wrestling match that usually occurs between one man and one woman.  Sometimes though, you can have tag team matches in these events as well.  These tag team intergender matches are not directly linked to the mixed competitive matches however.  There is an entirely different set of rules provided for each event to be followed. 

One set of rules completely prevents men and women from actually wrestling or competing with one another.  In this type of event, whenever there is a tag made that puts an opponent of the opposite sex in the ring, then the other team must automatically switch partners.  This ensures that an opponent of the same sex is in the ring with the match’s legal wrestler.  On the other hand, another set of rules allows for the men and women to freely pin and wrestle one another. 

In Mexico, during the Lucha Libre promotions, their mixed competitions are more common in tag team form.  The rules for their wrestlers, whether male or female, clearly state that they are restricted to wrestling only same sex matches.  Some of the competitive mixed wresting teams in Mexico are usually siblings, or even boyfriend and girlfriend.  It is not uncommon for these teams to train under the same instructor. 

North America and Mexico are not the only countries that the growing sport of competitive mixed wrestling has become popular in.  Japan, Australia, Canada, and China are just a few of the countries catching on to this evolutionary sport.  Men and women competing with one another has been around in some form or other for ages, now it has just been given rules and a referee.

This actual sport of competitive mixed wrestling has been around for years.  It dates back to the nineteen fifties and has just grown in size and popularity ever since.  Recently, the WWE researched who their viewers were and realized that almost forty percent of their viewing public is female.  To put it into perspective, that is almost half of the viewing populace.  Obviously, this means that wrestling is rapidly becoming more than just a man’s sport.  So what is it that makes a woman want to watch?  One can assume that it is not just about hunky men in tight pants, and more about the fact that now they too have both something and someone to cheer for with competitive mixed wrestling.

InterGender Or Mixed Competitive Wrestling – The Nitty Gritty

December 1st, 2009 by No comments »

You might sometimes wonder about what is behind Competitive Mixed Wrestling. There is a long history having to do with this sport. Mixed competitive wrestling, also known as intergender wrestling, is usually a professional wrestling match set up between a man and a woman. It can also refer to an intergender tag team that features both a man and a woman on the team. Intergender tag teams are not to be confused with mixed gender tag teams. Mixed tag team wrestling has a rule that prevents wrestlers of the opposite sex from actually wrestling with each other. In the event that a team member of the opposite sex gets tagged in, the other team must tag in their own member of the same sex. It is not uncommon for mixed competitive wrestling teams to have relationships in real life such as brother and sister, boyfriend and girlfriend, or even husband and wife.

Mixed wrestling can be said to have began with Andy Kaufman in the late 1970’s. Kaufman took part in several staged matches and announced himself to be the “Intergender Champion”, openly challenging any female to attempt to defeat him. This move by Kaufman sparked an open argument between Kaufman and Jerry “The King” Lawler, a professional wrestling legend.

Moving into the mid 90’s and early 2000’s, there was a large amount of fans for mixed competitive wrestling. Well known promoters in North America such as ECW, WWF, and WCW were regularly adding mixed matches to their roster of events. Mixed competitive wrestling is also popular in other countries such as, Mexico, Japan, and Australia. This was a time when women were openly challenging men for championships that were typically only competed for by men.

One name stands above the rest when you think of mixed competitive wrestling: Chyna, a three time Intercontinental Champion in the WWF. Other women who often competed in this sport were Lita, also of the WWF; Trish Stratus, WWF and one time Hardcore Championship belt holder; Madusa and Jacqueline were both onetime holders of the Cruiserweight Title. This is just a short list of some of the women involved in helping to create the history of mixed competitive wrestling.

This sport has certainly come a long way since its comedic beginning with Andy. No longer are the men and women who participate in this sport a joke, but serious competitors. The all strive for one thing: to be the best at what they do. Whether mixed tag team, or simply mixed competitive this sport can be brutal. One thing is certain however, it is never lacking in the entertainment department.
