June 25, 2024,
While we wouldn’t call it a day off at the office, perhaps we would phrase it, at home cutting the lawn.
Simply stated, we expect the legendary Hungarian star Viktoria to win.
The DWW-HWW super star has been around for decades and while she is a very skilled wrestler, almost performing with Judo like precision where she uses her opponents aggressive movements to trap them, she has yet to develop strong MMA skills which makes her less effective in the modern world. At this very event, she got completely demolished by the solid MMA star Kaos.
Here she faces Rapunzel at a live Submission Room event in London at a newer venue.
Rapunzel has some competitive experience but mostly against fantasy and newer female wrestlers. She is shorter than Viktoria, which the two girls poke some humor at, and she is blessed with long beautiful hair.
As the two beautiful women get ready, Viktoria is in form, with a nice sense of humor, as she does pre-match posing with Rapunzel. With Viktoria, she has a way of silently winning matches without hurting her opponent, so that’s good news for Rapunzel.
Time to go ringside.
VIKTORIA VS RAPUNZEL

They begin from their knees. As they engage, Viktoria takes a passive approach and allows Rapunzel to come to her. Rapunzel starts slowly attacking the head and neck area and, in response, Viktoria simply falls back to the floor and encases Rapunzel in a floor to sitting body scissor. The Hungarian beauty has made a decision to control Rapunzel with her legs.
They struggle.
Rapunzel is trying to attack but appears to lack the experience so Viktoria appears to be waiting for the long haired maiden to make a mistake.
She does.
Rapunzel allows Viktoria to sit up and, as we stated earlier, she is larger than Rapunzel so the DWW legend pushes Rapunzel backwards and now begins to take control from the top position. Atop Rapunzel, Viktoria slips her right arm behind Rapunzel’s neck, maneuvering her into a position for a headlock smother. She is being methodical and patient. Rapunzel properly responded by scissoring Viktoria’s left leg to prevent a full mount.
On top and in the elongated position, Viktoria is continuing to press the issue.
Slowly.
Methodically.
But not painfully. She is persistent in trying to secure a smother and Rapunzel is adept at preventing it. Viktoria keeps moving upward and finally breaks her leg free from the scissor, sits on top of Rapunzel and is now in total control to extract a submission. From that position, take your pick.
She chooses the side body scissor, Rapunzel is in trouble, but to her credit, is not giving up. The athletic brunette manages to get to her knees, bends forward and now potentially has Viktoria in trouble. The HWW legend is persistent in her floor to sitting body scissor and is gradually moving Rapunzel around.
We don’t see a submission coming soon.
This methodical ground war appears to be Viktoria’s current style and against Rapunzel, for now, it’s adequate.
Viktoria, for the moment, is content and seemingly unconcerned, to lie on her back and try and control Rapunzel with her strong beautiful thighs. Rapunzel is being shaken from side to side but still is not threatened by a submission.
Viktoria rolls her and is now on top of her.
Rapunzel immediately crosses her arms to fence the DWW legend off and prevent a smother. The good news for Viktoria is that Rapunzel failed to secure a thigh scissor and now Viktoria is free to apply a full mount. The Hungarian beauty slowly moves forward. As time has passed, Viktoria appears to be very content to take her time. Sometimes that works well for her, especially in times past, but in the new world riddled with MMA stars?
Mostly it doesn’t.
Now, when Viktoria loses, they are mostly lopsided affairs, like at this event where MMA star Kaos totally decimated her. The good news? Talented though she may be?
Rapunzel is not Kaos.
A war of attrition ensues as Viktoria tries to break through Rapunzel’s fence. The British girl is responding well, not allowing Viktoria to penetrate her force field.
Time to change things up.
Viktoria rolls Rapunzel into a brutal side body scissor. Will this be enough for a submission?
Not yet.
Rapunzel strongly kicks out and breaks the scissor. Viktoria is quick to maintain a floor to sitting body scissor, using her arms and legs to keep Rapunzel locked in. The Hungarian beauty continues to move Rapunzel around and around until finally she makes her move and rolls on top of her. At this point the pretty British girl is fending Viktoria off from the bottom position. Not an offensive move in sight.
Rapunzel is elongated and Viktoria is bent over at the knees on top but continues to take her time and not forcefully smother Rapunzel out.
Patience is a virtue but not when is it allowing submitting opportunities to slip away. Patience is strategic but when is it poor strategy, allowing a less experienced wrestler to keep hanging around, what kind of strategy is that? The clock is ticking in this match.
Viktoria needs to do something right now. Will she?
Instead, she remains patient.
Viktoria continues to slowly maneuver from the top, sliding her hands and arms behind Rapunzel’s neck, and then removing them. Rapunzel is trying to kick out and once again uses her arms as a fence to block any potential smother.
Apparently Viktoria is not thinking about a smother.
She goes DWW old school on Rapunzel and slowly slides her into another side body scissor, a move that, back in the day, Viktoria applied with brutal precision. She squeezes. Rapunzel is squirming to escape. This time Viktoria secures the sweet brunette’s head, and squeezes mightily again. In her squirming efforts, Rapunzel makes the mistake of turning in to Vitoria’s body and the teeth of the scissor.
It was a lethal mistake.
Rapunzel taps out.
Finally.
1-0 for Viktoria (13:23).
The two stars begin from their knees.
Viktoria closes by using her right arm to secure a headlock but misses. In a first show of offense, Rapunzel tries to capture an arm bar but fails. The two girls fall off the corner of the mats.
As they come back to the center and slowly engage, once again, Viktoria begins to ride her from the top. Slowly, methodically. She now does something unexpected and begins to clench Rapunzel by the top of her forehead, pull backwards and scissor her from behind. It looks like a brilliant move but Rapunzel smartly responds by using her legs to painfully perform an ankle crank on Viktoria, and caught by surprise, the HWW star quickly taps out.
Now that was very unexpected.
We are tied at 1-1.
This is why you don’t allow a less experienced wrestler to keep hanging around when you should have built up an insurmountable lead on them.
Now the game is afoot.
They engage. Both in the sitting position with legs entangled. Rapunzel goes for another ankle crank but, in the sitting position, Viktoria is not threatened. Viktoria pushes Rapunzel backwards and tries for a smother from the top position as Rapunzel fences her off. Viktoria’s patience did get a result. We’re not sure it was the desired one.
The match is over ending in a 1-1 tie.
SUMMARY
In theory, this tie is an upset. It was a match that we expected Viktoria to win handily. Having said that, any chance to watch Viktoria wrestle in modern times is a real treat.
Her style has greatly changed over the years and become more patient, slow and methodical. That will work with less experienced girls but not the new elite female submission wrestlers who combine grappling and MMA skills. They are too quick, powerful and forceful.
So, for now, we are very content to watch the new version of the DWW-HWW Legend Viktoria, who has wrestled all over the world.
Patience is indeed a virtue.
In terms of her new style, as time and experience has taught us, life is one constant transition.
