Re: Underground Wrestling Community and Going Forward
Quote:
Watching a woman and a man grapple can be hot, but if you're not comfortable with your manhood or your sexuality, it can be unsettling if the woman wins or even momentarily humilitates the man. Men are socialized to be dominant and aggressive, and when a woman dominates a guy, it gets right to the core of the conventional understanding of what it means to "be a man." It can be deeply unsettling on a psychological level. |

Re: Underground Wrestling Community and Going Forward
Im sure if the crowd that gathered to watch a mixed match at one of your shows, where all into the scene, im sure they would not be that bothered about it.
I favor women wrestling men, theirs just something about seeing a woman man handle someone of the opposite sex and beat them. I wouldn't feel uncomfortable seeing such a match, actually i would love it. Tag me in if your in to deep friend, let me help i'd say standing beside the mat/ring |

Re: Underground Wrestling Community and Going Forward
Yet it's that discomfort I find so erotic...the ultimate mind fuck for me, even after all these years

Re: Underground Wrestling Community and Going Forward
Guys, what a great series of thoughtful and thought-provoking posts. Thanks so much!
AL @[Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] and Mike @[Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] , thank you both for touching on the topic of the Internet and its role in the underground wrestling community. Both AL and Mike point to how the web has brought us all closer together, but Mike notes... Quote:
I'm right there with you. I think I communicate just as frequently with wrestlers and fans who live far away than with those who live right here in my borough. Even my wrestler friends in New Jersey, I'm able to chat with them online more often than I do in person. Sometimes this makes me feel like I'm surrounded by wrestlers. But when we go to meet up, it takes a bit of coordination; we're not actually right next door to each other after all. By the way: Quote:

Mike, thank you, YES! This is what I call "doing your own little patch of good." This is VERY good to bring up. Active participation is so much appreciated. Sometimes we may feel like we're spinning wheels in a void. Sometimes we may wonder "why am I breaking my back over this unpaid jello wrestling event?" or "why am I hauling mats through the subway for a community demo?" or "why am I paying for a hotel room to host a free party in?" And then realize: because it is a good thing to do. It's the right thing to do. It's the right thing to do to foster and support the community. And because the experiences that come from it can be magical, memorable. Not just for existing community members, but for newcomers as well. Especially to newcomers. But Quote:
On rare occasions, I've had to contend with parties where very few wrestlers showed up (awkward!) Or I've sat and waited with VeVe at the studio as not a single other person showed up for training practice (boo!). Or I've had every single guest cancel for a hotel room wrestling party only after everything was fully set up (booo!). These fumbles, thankfully, are rare, but they do taste bad. Also, on our other running topic... Quote:
Quote:
And certainly good rationale for keeping F/F matches and mixed matches separate at a given event. But, oh, that potential for the erotic discomfort is so tantalizing. I'm sorry, I'm sitting here wishing I had something more meaningful to say, since I absolutely love this combination of comments. But that being said... Quote:

Re: Underground Wrestling Community and Going Forward
Look 20 years ago wrestling was something fun and few knew technique, martial arts or BJJ. Now you'd have to be crazy to wrestle without some skill. While others may have had more skill then others, it was seldom perceptible watching matches. Today it is obvious that it is all based to some extent on MMA (without striking) and few want to chance it.
I've said it elsewhere that the Beatrice Goffin's, Judell Dulong's, Joan Wise's and those in premier productions wouldn't stand a chance vs. a trained like sized female today. So while the sport/predilection and the root of it is better understood, few want to chance their reputation or if male lose to a technically much superior female in a public situation. If you are so interested join a mma/bjj/martial arts club that is co-ed and roll with a female or learn the basics..... |

Re: Underground Wrestling Community and Going Forward
Guys, another thought: if you could design a one-day underground wrestling event (or party), what would that be like in your mind?
Would it be a big room with several separate mat areas and a few chairs situated in between? Would it be one big mat area with audience style seating? Would it be dark or fully lit? Would it take place in a pre-existing BDSM dungeon or more of a sporty environment? Or would it be in a venue with separate rooms for separate mat areas? Would there be music? What kind of music? Would there be a bar? In your perfect vision, what would it be like? (I've run parties/events under each of those different conditions. The one we did in the BDSM dungeon was in Atlanta and co-hosted by Dominique Danger. I personally like the darker, club-y style, if I could choose, but I'm also open to well-lit and sporty). |

Re: Underground Wrestling Community and Going Forward
How about no spectators? You can come and watch but at some point you have to wrestle someone.

Re: Underground Wrestling Community and Going Forward
I've never attending a live event, but kind of dark and clubby sounds great to me.
The whole point of a man and woman wrestling is the erotic charge it generates in most of us, isn't it? A dark, moody atmosphere would only enhance that for me. For music I'd take some cool trumpet jazz, like Miles Davis. Always had an underground feel to it for me. |
