Foul or Not? Part 2

In an earlier post, I examined whether certain grips issued in the spirited match between Mutiny and Orsi should have been called fouls. Here, I apply my judgment to photos of staged matches produced by Maidens of Mayhem. While the matches are not competitive, they do serve as a valuable study guide for those fortunate enough to referee a ladies' wrestling or catfighting match.
In the above photo, Alektra has a firm grip of Max Mikita's hair with one hand and Max's left nipple with her other hand. Obviously, in a regular wrestling match, this combination would qualify for two fouls, and probably a disqualification. But in an Apartment Wrestling match, the ladies do assume certain risks, hairpulling and tit twisting among them. So the ruling is No Foul, and a special commendation to Alektra for such a nice combination that causes Max no small amount of distress.

Max gets her own back, landing a nice closed fist shot to Alektra's belly. The first question is whether the closed fist is a foul in and of itself. I acknowledge that there is room for disagreement here, but I would allow it so long as it was an isolated event. However, even if punching is allowed, Max shouldn't be allowed to hold Alektra's hair to prevent her from turning away. As I can't tell whehter Max has a hairpull, I have to say that the ruling is Inconclusive.

Another close call, as Max is certainly controlling Alextra's head with the face claw as she pummels Alextra's body. I don't think the face claw is as controlling as a hairpull, so I would rule No Foul, but warn Max that a Foul call would be in the offing should she repeat this combination.

No question as to the ruling here. Max chops the back of Akira Lane's neck as she grabs Akira's hair. A most definite Foul, and the ref would be in his rights to disqualify Max for the shot. This is truly a dangerous blow as Akira's neck is held in position by way of the hairpull.
