African-American Tag Team

I just noticed that, purely as a matter of coincidence, my last two posts (before this series of three posts) featured African-American ladies getting the short end of things. So to make up for it, here's a nice match featuring two African-American tag teams from Womens World Video. Beginning on the left, we have Tonya at 5'4", 115 pounds and Lee at 5'8", 124 pounds against Isis at 5'4", 129 pounds and Coni at 5'7", 119 pounds. In this group shot, I particularly like the way that Isis is glancing over her shoulder at her opponents while everyone else looks at the camera.
At least in terms of chest size, Isis and Coni have the advantage. Although I'm not sure how that going to help them against the particularly tough looking Lee. I don't know if it was by design, but you'll note that the ladies on each team have similar skin tone, with Tonya and Lee being darker than their opponents.

Tag Team, Part 2

Tonya looks on smiling as Lee gets the better of Coni. Where you have presumably evenly matched tag teams, with one big girl (Lee and Coni) and a smaller girl (Tonya and Isis), a critical factor is who's big girl is better. Because unless the opposing team's small girl is really a class above the rest, the team with the better big girl has a decided advantage. An additional bonus of this photo is we are treated to a fine view of Coni's magnificent ass. Isis looks none too pleased as Lee continues to dominate Coni. Isis certainly seems to know how important it is for her partner to at least hold her own.
But as it turns out, Isis is no great shakes on the mat, either. Tonya demonstrates some real skill against her heavier opponent. Judging by Isis' facial expression, it seems that a submission is inevitable.
Isis doesn't really seem to have any answer to Tonya's speed and agression.
Correction. She does have an answer -- hair pulling -- although it's probably not permitted in a straight wrestling match.

Tag Team, Part 3

Hold the presses!!! It turns out Isis does have some skill, managing to get Tonya in a basic body scissors. Perhaps she will figure out how to squeeze her legs together to get the submission.
Finally, Coni and Isis have figured out how this tag team stuff works -- you want to try and get your bigger girl against their smaller girl. As they say in the Guiness commercials, Genius!!
It's understandable that Tonya has some trouble matching up against Coni, as she is giving up three inches in height. But to be fair to Coni, she only outweighs Tonya by four pounds, so its not like she had a completely unfair advantage.
I like to believe that this is a one in a million shot that captures the moment just after Coni has face sat Tonya for a submission. Sure, she could have just been sitting on her chest or something, but give me the benefit of the doubt.
There really isn't any doubt but that Lee is the class wrestler here, as she finishes Isis off with a modified body scissors. I don't know who won this match, but my money is on Lee and Tonya. If you happen to know, or just have any thoughts on the match, please leave a comment.
