Real Treat

I have just found this rare video with Ziggy and Sally McNeil on YouTube. A very, very young Ziggy faces the bigger Sally in a competitive match. YouTube is becoming a good source, folks. By the way, the user responsible for the upload, LovetoBeScissored, has other interesting vintage fights.

  1. Oh man...this is the vid (from Premier Productions) where it almost turned into a real fight...its not the full clip but towards the end, Sally got caught in some kind of hold (choke hold maybe?) and gets really angry...as soon as Ziggy breaks the hold, Sally takes a swing at Ziggy but misses

  2. I would love to see that clip ending because Sally was taken a beating from a smaller opponent; just look at the moment Sally is grabbed and threw to the mat.

    Thanks for the information.

  3. My recollection is that the match started in bikinis and Ziggy took Sally down from a standing position really hard. They wrestled the rest of the match in one piece suits, I imagine because Sally really wanted to go at it.

  4. Your right it was a hard slam to the mat that upset Sally. I just uploaded the vid on my blog

  6. I have this match on VHS.

    I was a big fan of Ziggy's early on but never of Sally and after seeing how she carried on like a spoiled brat after being thrown down by Ziggy, I never liked her at all.

    To say the least, she was a very poor sport when things didn't go her way.

  7. Thanks to Lady SS I watched the match for the first time in a long time. It was well-fought, back and forth (very tough wrestling for a PP match); Sally won the only fall with a dubious pin. It's not entirely clear what happened just before the slam but Ziggy effortlessly lifted Sally up and bodyslammed (not quite like the pros)to the mat. They started fighting after that and then the tape ends.

    I loved watching Sally wrestle - one of my favourite submissions was Sally forcing Tigra to tap with a head scissors. Watching thos thighs strain - yikkes. She was a tough wrestler but after all it is submission wrestling - squeeze or twist until it hurts enough for the other woman to give up.
