Vanessa versus Christine, Part 1

Rivalries between lady wrestlers take all shapes and forms. Some, such as that between Stephanie and Natasha, are performed at the highest level -- between ladies who are members of a sponored team and have no doubt as to their future in the sport. Others develop between ladies, such as Vanessa in the pink one piece and Christine, who don't have that luxury. Vanessa, pictured above before her first match against Christine, started out as an independent wrestler, not affiliated with any team sponored by a shoe company. Hence, she wears generic wrestling boots.
Christine had been around the league for a while, and although she had been a member of various teams from time to time, never seemed to catch on. The ladies' anticipation and nervousness is evident in the above photo. For these independent wrestlers, every match was important. It would either move them closer towards, or further away, from their goal -- getting picked up by a sponsored team. Vanessa wisely selected a one piece that was particularly high cut over hips; all the better to show off her fine form. But she obviously wasn't all that confident about what she was willing to show. If you look closely, you can see the white band of her g-string underneath.

Although a raw rookie, Vanessa had some skills, and went to work on Christine's shoulders. The smaller wrestler simply wasn't able to bring her greater experience to bear.
Vanessa -- showing a nice tan line, by the way -- works over each of Christine's legs in turn. By the way that Christine is grimacing and reaching back for her right hamstring, we can tell that she is suffering from the attentions of her younger opponent.
Although the same rules are supposed to apply to matches between ladies on sposored teams and independent matches, it's generally accepted that they are applied much more loosely in the independent matches. And Vanessa smartly takes advantage with an obivous hair pull.
Vanessa uses her substantial -- and in my opinion, delightful -- backside to put an exclamation point on her victory.
Christine is obviously despondent, as it doesn't look good for her to get dominated by a mere rookie.

Of course, a rematch was arranged for the next session. Look at how the ladies' expressions have changed from their first match. Vanessa looks much more poised and confident, while it seems like Christine has a surprise in store for her opponent.

Christine takes the early advantage, and puts Vanessa through her paces.
Christine concentrates her efforts on Vanessa's shoulders.
Vanessa is obviously suffering in the grips of Christine's textbook camel clutch. Note how Christine's earlier attention to her opponent's shoulders set this hold up to have maximum impact.
And for good measure, a bit of payback with a hairpull.
As it's Vanessa's turn to lie despondent on the floor, Christine poses as if to say "And you though this young thing could take me again?!!"
