October 5, 2024,
It is more about history than the data.
Because there isn’t a lot of data. At least virtually none as we can find.
Still, the British submission wrestler Harlequin is a looker and absolutely worth remembering.
She wrestled during the 2015-2016 era, mostly with new girl results, losing to Willow 7-4 and getting blanked by Miss Kay O, 6-0.
Today, as we go down British memory lane, she is facing Justice, a well-known mid-level wrestler with a solid resume.
Back in 2011, here is what the legendary London Wrestling Studios had to say about her, “An energetic wrestler with a playfully competitive streak, JUSTICE is not a fan of losing and will fight to the end. She especially enjoys holding her opponents in submissions whilst they squirm until their bodies fall still with futile struggle and they are forced to rethink their next move.
Outside of the mats, her fitness regime of cycling and yoga gives her an edge. Try not to be trapped in her crushing legs, as JUSTICE has developed some innovative moves to grip her opponents in surprising holds, as well as having the flexibility to sometimes slip out of a pin, just when you think you’ve got her.”
Today, we expect Justice to win, sometimes using those beautiful legs to get the job done.
Let’s go ringside.
JUSTICE VS HARLEQUIN
As the two shapely girls come to their knees, the one advantage Harlequin has is that she is slightly larger than Justice.
That’s about it.
Let’s see how far that takes her.
They begin with hand fighting and being a girl limited in experience, Harlequin fights timidly. Justice takes advantage of that as Harlequin gives up her back. The legendary British star circles behind the shapely beauty and encases Harlequin in a behind the back body scissor. Harlequin struggles and could be in trouble. But, she does keep fighting and even though Justice has both of her arms tied up, married to a body scissor, she still can’t submit her. She does completely control feminine Harlequin from the top and from behind.
Though it has been a long time, over ten years ago, our suspicions about Harlequin are correct. She is primarily a beautiful curvy fantasy girl who tried wrestling. We’re glad she did but here, with a serious wrestler like Britain’s Justice, she is in over her head. Justice continues to work Harlequin’s arms, from the top but the newer girl withstands her charge and they separate and start over. Symbolic victory for Harlequin in that sequence.
They start again from their knees.
Harlequin plays possum and waits for Justice to come to her. What is up her sleeve?
She tries to capture Justice in a floor to sitting body scissor and, surprisingly, it actually works. She begins to squeeze Justice who is in anguish. Justice falls to the floor and captures Harlequin in a mutual body scissor, in the elongated position and both begin to squeeze, hard.
The veteran breaks apart Harlequin’s legs and now transitions Harlequin into a hurtful side body scissor. They struggle. Harlequin uses her strength to part Justice’s thighs. The scissor is broken. Very impressive for a new girl. Justice does not give her time to celebrate and captures her neck from behind and begins to squeeze.
They struggle more.
The great advantage that a deeply experienced wrestler like Justice has is that when one or two things don’t work, she absolutely has a plan C.
Justice applies plan C and captures Harlequin’s right arm in an arm bar, falls backward and elongates, stresses Harlequin’s right arm and the shapely new girl taps out.
Finally.
1-0 for Justice (6:10).
The two girls come back to the center and start again. Once again Harlequin takes a passive approach and lets Justice come to her. Justice is happy to oblige. She takes Harlequin down to the mats by the neck and begins to squeeze. They struggle. Harlequin is strong enough to roll Justice backwards and wise enough to scissor her left thigh to prevent a full mount. Still, Justice is powerful enough, leg trapped or not, to roll on top of Harlequin.
They struggle.
We are impressed that Harlequin is countering with a good defense but at some point you need to go on the offensive. That can be the best defense. Justice is persistent yet with all of her experience, she is not breaking through Harlequin’s force field.
The two break it up, and start over. Minor victory for Harlequin but minor victories only go so far. You need to score points. Let’s see if she can.
Finally Justice finds a position that can bring intense pressure to Harlequin. In the elongated position, with Harlequin on her knees, head forward, Justice has mounted her and is scissoring from the top. Harlequin can’t seem to move and taps out.
2-0 for Justice (8:33).
They begin with hand fighting. Harlequin appears to make the mistake of being too timid. She is matching Justice strike for strike, until she can’t. Justice then wraps her up from behind and rides on top of her. Harlequin fails to secure one of Justice’s legs in a scissor and now Justice tries to smother her. The British star applies a grapevine as well. Strategic, though that may be, Harlequin has proven, strength for strength, she can fight Justice off.
But not this time.
Justice applies a grapevine and arms wide pin with more passion and begins the pin count. Harlequin struggles underneath but this time Justice counts to ten.
3-0 for Justice (10:15).
They begin again from the knees. Once more Harlequin is allowing Justice to dictate the action. Once Justice has committed, Harlequin keeps pushing her aside until she is on top of her. Justice allows that to happen as she captures Harlequin in a full, tightly wrapped floor to sitting body scissor.
What will she do with it? Not the greatest move but will it work here?
It doesn’t yet. Justice is experienced enough to roll Harlequin into a side body scissor while squeezing and smothering up top. Earlier Harlequin escaped similar holds but appears to tiring. Justice squeezes hard and Harlequin taps out.
Justice leads 4-0 (11:30).
Time to begin.
Harlequin hand fights and then pulls Justice towards her. The LWS Legend is happy to oblige and forces her way forward on top of Harlequin. She immediately goes to a text book cross body pin where she locks Harlequin’s left arm and uses her strong thighs to secure the shapely new girl’s right arm. Then it is time to count. Harlequin kicks and kicks with her gorgeous feminine legs, to no avail. The shapely girl is counted out.
Justice is up 5-0 (12:51)
What was once a closely contested fight at the six minute mark, in the next six minutes, four more submissions have occurred. It is now officially a blowout. While she has her energy, Harlequin is pretty tough. Once it fades, so does she.
They begin again.
Harlequin is hesitant so Justice lunges at the curvy beauty and takes her down, using her body weight on top of Harlequin. This would be a fantastic girl next door living room match. Harlequin is becoming more feminine and submissive, lying underneath Justice, kicking helplessly and being completely dominated. Justice tries for another pin but Harlequin has just enough juice to get out of it.
Justice is toying with her as she opens up the playbook. She flattens Harlequin out on her stomach and performs a Full-Nelson backbreaker. It is too much for the feminine beauty and she gives.
There is a correction on the score. Apparently TC Wrestling felt Harlequin got her shoulder up in the last submission.
Okaaaaaaaay, if you say so.
“Now” it is 5-0 (cough, cough). 15:00
They begin again and Harlequin is allowing Justice to be the puppet master. Harlequin gives up her back. Justice is quick to seize the opportunity, wraps the curvy princess up from behind and then rides her up top before pulling her backwards into a scissor. Go for what works. Once again Justice applies the Full Nelson as well. The British star now slides Harlequin into a side body scissor as she wraps her arms up around her head. Harlequin struggles and is going nowhere. Justice is basically using Harlequin’s arm to choke her and her legs to scissor her. Harlequin gives one last time.
The match is over.
Justice wins 6-0.
This is a match that we knew from the start would not be extremely competitive but given the two girls shapely beauty, wrestling one another, we had to watch.
It did not disappoint.
