You may hate to admit it but, as a newer female submission wrestler, the minute you find out who you are going to wrestle, what is the first thing you look at when you see her?
Now, if you say, to see if she is pretty, friend, that is entirely a different discussion.
The dating game was a popular show back in the 1960s. Look, don’t blow any kisses on those wrestling mats.
It is all about the muscle. We know that and we sense you know that as well. You look at her muscles to see, as we say in Texas, if she is going to take you behind the woodshed.
But look, even if she has some great muscles, you can have some great muscles too, if you are willing to do the work.
Shall we turn to an expert? Let’s walk over to the bookstore.

KARA (Muscle Girl) VS BRYN

FCI had the two gorgeous girls stand against the wall while we interviewed them. Kara was from Oakland and Bryn hailed from San Jose.
The two went down to their knees, shook hands and the match began.
Bryn was the aggressor and semi-encased Kara in a floor to sitting body scissor, which Kara easily slide into a reverse, tight scissor on Bryn. Kara’s head was near Bryn’s feet as she squeezed mightily, demonstrating the power of her gorgeous muscular thighs.
Bryn grimaced with pain.
The San Jose warrior escaped but Kara was instantly on top of her with a reverse school girl sit, which could easily slide backwards into a face sit.
Bryn continues to scramble around underneath. Kara is sliding with her, abandons the sitting position and glides towards a cross body pin. The Oakland native tightly squeezes Bryn’s right arm between her powerful thighs while crunching Bryn’s skull with a fierce headlock. Bent like a pretzel and in pain, Bryn taps out.
1-0 for Kara (2:47).
They begin again.
Bryn is the aggressor as she approaches Kara. They briefly hand fight and Bryn immediately leaps, encases Kara’s waist and applies the often ill-fated floor to sitting body scissors move. It is often a move applied by girls who feel they have limited options in an upper hand to hand, shoulder, out muscle you proposition.
Kara uses her thick strong legs to stand, moves forward and is on the verge of cracking Bryn with a back breaker. Bryn tries to counter with an attempted arm bar, but thus far, attempted is all that she is accomplishing.
Strong muscular Kara keeps moving forward, applying fierce pressure.
It works.
Kara breaks the hold then, once again falls across Bryn’s chest area, which gives her many choices and options. She encases Bryn’s right arm inside of her strong thighs, pushing a cross body pin.
Bryn circles but the larger Kara circles with her, stretches herself out, adding pressure to Bryn’s pain and the San Jose starlit taps out.
2-0 for Kara (2:44).
BAMBI VS BLONDE CRUSHER (Muscle Girl)
The two beautiful women are introduced and begin posing.
We salivate wondering what a matchup between Crusher and muscle girl Emily would look like. Sounds delicious.
They begin with traditional upper neck and shoulder struggle. Initially, this weighs in to Crusher’s advantage. Bambi tries to surprise her with a floor to sitting body scissor but Crusher easily thwarts it and manages to fight her way to the top, in an elongated position over Bambi. Her feminine muscles are a sight to see.
Bambi struggles underneath.
This appears to be an ideal time for a smother but it is possible that Crusher is newer to this game and does not take advantage of that opportunity. She does keep Bambi’s wrists pinned to the mats. Bambi responds by scissoring Crusher’s right thigh, to prevent a full mount. Of interest, aside from pressing Bambi’s wrists to the mats, Crusher doesn’t appear to know what to do with this great advantage.
Bambi continues to push back, as she should, and is twirling towards flattening out on her stomach, which we’re not sure is the greatest idea. The key is Crusher’s experience. To flatten out on her stomach would set Bambi up for a rear naked choke. In the struggle, Bambi gives up her back which Crusher gladly captures from behind and scrolls it into a side scissor attempt. Good move, can she make it stick?
They struggle.
Crusher has Bambi trapped in a strong headlock, anchored by her muscular right arm, married with a scissor, but doesn’t appear to be doing much with it. Like a cat toying with a mouse, Crusher seems to enjoy being in the dominant position but does not appear to have a sense of urgency to do much with it.
Bambi, on the hand, even under duress is a fascinating case study. Simply put she doesn’t look like a prototype female wrestler.
Whatever that means.
Okay, here is what it means.
Crusher looks like a female wrestler, complete with gorgeous muscles galore.
In another setting, if we were meeting Bambi for the first time, if her friend introduced her as an Insurance Agent, Public Relations Assistant, Hotel Manager or the like, we wouldn’t blink for a second. But, what if her friend introduced her as a female submission wrestler?
We would blink.
Now Bambi proves she is a wrestler and breaks Crusher’s hold and top position.
Time to start again.
They begin with the typical upper hand and shoulder struggle, which gorgeous muscle girl Crusher is most likely to win, and she does as, once more, she takes Bambi down to the mats and gains the top position.
They struggle.
Crusher tries a different attack. She takes Bambi down, keeps her strong thighs laced across Bambi’s upper torso, clasps Bambi’s right arm and adeptly applies a fierce arm bar. Bambi taps out. We have our first submission.
1-0 for Crusher (5:25).
SUMMARY
If you are going to take your wrestling seriously, while you don’t have to look like an Olympian, it would be a great idea to begin to put on some muscle.
Given the great stars we have today, you’re going to need it.
