My Favorite Folder

Many pro-wrestling matches are finished by a folding pin like the one in the first video segment with Jodie Lee and Julie Fielding (very outdated combat, by the way). It can happen with less frequency in semi-competitive or competitive combats: in the second segment, with Tekla vs Viktoria (Female Wrestling Zone), there is a good attempt but it does not finish with a fall. And finally, in domination matches like in the third segment, it is a sure way to tease and exploit the victim.

The third segment (source unknown to me) took my attention because it appears to take place at a video store.  I remember that the Famous Sports Videos at 32nd st (NYC) used to invite wrestlers to show up and talk to customers (decades ago...): would it be possible that they had shot a fight in the premises?

  1. I like this particular position. You are right - alas, you don't see this often in a competitive match. There must be a big difference in skills of the opponents for this to happe - which is the case in Viktoria vs Tekla match.

  2. The video shop is Manchester based, think the bigger wrestler is called Adele and the smaller one Tiffany
