Christie Ricci

It was inevitable. A done deal. I had no say in the matter nor did I have a chance.

As avid readers of this blog know, I have a tremendous "thing" for tall, athletic women. It is hard-wired into my system and I am instantly overwhelemed by desire whenever I encounter such women. By tall, I mean 5'10" and up. It's been like this all my life.

So obviously, there was no chance that I would not fall head over heels in love with Christie Ricci!

A professionally trained wrestler with significant experience under her belt, she is the type of woman I could have only dreamed about when I first came of age with these fantasies. Tall, athletic, beautiful and with a killer body, she is able to perform all the pro moves I have always fantasized about.

She is part of what I consider to be a new generation of professionally trained women wrestlers who are now available to perform in custom scripted matches.

Unlike TV pro wrestling where the outcome and action is controlled by people who do not necessarily share my fantasy, it is now possible to hire these women to perform in a ring according to any reasonable scenario anyone would want.

Although a wrestling veteran known as the Misssissippi Queen, Christie only recently moved out to Los Angeles and began working on the local scene. I was totally thrilled to find that out, and it wasn't long until pictures of her wrestling in the legendary STJ's ring began to pop up on the Internet.

It is quote obvious that she knows how to sell a beating as good as giving one and this places her squarely in the center of my specific fantasies. I would assume, but do not know for sure, that she would also be available to perform in various superheroine scenarios as well. Personally, I think she would make an awesome Supergirl!

My experience has always shown that there are compromises needed to feed this fantasy so to speak.

For example, to get good wrestling action in the past, one had to often compromise on the attractiveness of some of the wrestlers.

To watch gorgeous women, one would often have to compromise on the action. Shows such as GLOW clearly illustrate that, although they did have a few memorable matches over the years.

Golden Girls videos also provided gorgeous, and often topless performers, but the nature of the action always left me wanting more. In their case, it was not only the lack of wrestling skills, for which I do not begrudge anyone, but the way the action unfolded. I would gladly compromise on wrestling skills if the matches would end in solid pinfall victories. That, however, did not stop me from buying their tapes early on.

Double Trouble Wrestling, the largest and most succesful producer of fantasy wrestling material also suffered from this syndrome until they began getting custom requests for multi-pinfall matches as discussed in an earlier blog posting. This was a clear example of a situation where the pinfall driven action more than compensated for the relative lack of wrestling skills.

Exceptions to this rule were found in TV productions such as the AWA, POWW, the LPWA and WOW. These shows had a healthy balance between skills and plots. It was in this context where I was able to see good pro action with wrestlers like Magnificent Mimi, Wendy Richter, Misty Blue Simmes, Candi Divine, Madussa Micelli and many others. My only real complaint was not seeing these powerful women get squashed too often. For example, I only saw Misty Blue get squashed once. Same for Magnificent Mimi and Reggie Bennett. I cannot recall ever seeing Wendy Richter, Madussa, Teri Power and others lose decisively.

Speaking of Misty Blue and Reggie Bennett, I often wished I could arrange a custom match between these two women and even went as far as scripting such a 3 fall match. Naturally, we would have gotten to see both women take a severe pounding and get pinned at least once. I honestly cannot recall who would have won this match since this all went on back in 1995.

Today, we have the option of seeing beautful, well trained wrestling performers giving and taking serious beatings, and the gorgeous & sexy Christie Ricci is one of them.

Her looks excite me. Her body excites me. Her simply stunning long shapely legs excite me. (I am actually WILD about her legs.) Her hips and arms excite me. I guess you all, or ya'll as a Mississippi Queen would say, get the picture.

Most exciting of all is the fact that she has worked and hopefully will continue to do so with Sleeperkids World whose basic wrestling action philosophy is as close as anyone has ever come to mine. The fact that she does not wrestle topless means nothing to me as I am always gladly willing to forgo toplessness for the kind of action that someone like Christie can provide in a well-scripted match.

I would love to see her go up against Vanessa Harding in a 2-3 fall match. Even better, I would love to see these two wonderful performers go at each other in a "Texas Death" style pinfall match where the action continues until one woman cannot continue.

Frankie Zappitelli would also be a great opponent.

If I really want to take this into the real relm of fantasy, I would love to see Christie and Chyna go at it as well, with each woman getting squahed & pinned numerous times.

If one looks at the top collage, it is impossible not to notice how beautiful she really is. The second collage, obviously, features action that excites me the most.

So in conclusion, I simply ADORE Christie Ricci and hope she will stay around the LA & SKW scene long enough to build up a long resume of unforgettable matches.

To Christie I would simply say "SCHWING!"

Rare Magnificent Mimi

Magnificent Mimi is one of my all time favorites, and it has been that way since she came on the scene nearly 20 years ago.
I have desperately tried to get my hands on anything she ever did and have managed to see most of what is out there. Obviously, I simply live for scenes where she takes good punishement or even loses, but as mentioned in a previous post on this blog, those scenes are few and far between.

It was absolutely thrilling to find a clip on you tube that I had never seen before. Mimi is particularly good in this clip and has a terrific oponent to work off of. Alas, she doesn't take much of a pounding in this one, but she looks magnificent being a skilled and dominating wrestler.

Does anyone know of any good Mimi clips where she loses or almost does?

Favorite moves- the Piledriver!

There's something about the piledriver that has always excited me. I look at it as kryptonite for wrestlers. No matter how good you are or how tough you may be, if you get nailed by a piledriver, it's almost always over for you.
Those of you who have been following this blog know that one of my favorite moments of all time was Misty Blue taking a piledriver and then losing a fall. I somehow seem to recall that Magnificent Mimi may have taken one too, but if it did happen, I think that her manager then interfered or something like that.
In any case, I LOVE the piledriver. The problem is that not many people are properly trained to perform them, either on the giving or receiving end, and given the dangers involved, the move is not seen very often in Women's Wrestling.
Professionally trained wrestlers like Vanessa Harding, Hollywood, Hurricane Havana, Lady Victoria and others can perform them well, but in order for them to be on the (schwing) receiving end, they have to be up against a woman who also has the proper training. Female wrestling video producer Sabre Studios is just waiting for the right combination of participants to put in a good piledriver scene and I can't wait.

One exception to the piledriver rule is Sleeper Kid's World who seems to use them with decent frequency in his productions. I came across this awesome video clip on you tube that I will try to share here, and SK & Co. definitely deserve their "props" for some great footage.




(I hope the embedded clip above keeps working for a long time)

The piledriver always has and always will be one of my favorite female wrestling finishing moves. Back in the old days I would have loved to see Wendy Richter, Reggie Bennett, Chyna, Candi Divine and other powerful pros be taken out by one. I'm still optimistic for the future and other powerful looking women being taken out by the "wrestler's kryptonite."

If anyone has good piledriver pictures they wish to share, please let me know!

Magnificent Mimi Leseos

Magnificent Mimi is one of my favorite wrestling performers. For my interests and fantasies, she has got it all! She's got the looks, body, personality and skills to be my very own dream girl. A rare yet stunning combination of looks, attitude and wrestling ability. She caught my eye from the first second I saw her.

Nevertheless, being a fan of Mimi's does not come without it's set of frustrations. There is a fair amount of material out there featuring her in the ring, and she was even in several full length hollywood movies most of which involved wrestling or fighitng. Nevertheless, much of the incredible potential Magnificent Mimi has in my mind has gone untapped.

Be that as it may, I would like to concentrate on the half-full cup for a moment.

Mimi is a high flying wrestler with lots of moves. She looks undefeatable to me. She's fought against some of the top talent in women's wrestling including Madussa Micelli, Candi Divine, Leilani Kai, Judy Martin, Susan Sexton and others. The better her opponent, the better her moves. She would rise to the occasion every time. She could take bumps and dish it out too. She worked with the AWA for a while and was a regular on the LPWA show while it lasted.

From the half-empty cup perspective, I simply didn't get to see her lose enough. Also, she would have made an INCREDIBLE Wonder Woman.

Straight from the "Jonnie R can't catch a break" files, Mimi was suppossed to go up against Susan Sexton for the LPWA championship. I was totally psyched. These matches were always 2-3 falls which usually meant that we got to see both girls get pinned at least once. This is the same circumstance under which Misty Blue took a piledriver and got pinned. 2-3 falls.

I could not wait until the following week to see this match. The day finally arrived and I was not disappointed. The match was going very well. Mimi pinned Sexton for the first fall. The second fall began and I knew this was my moment. This was my opportunity to see the powerful, stunning and confident Magnificent Mimi taking a beating. I only hoped that she wouldn't get pinned as a result of cheating or a quick pin. That would have really bummed me out. Susan Sexton really took it to Mimi in the second fall. She suplexed her, slammed her and pretty much dominated her for the entire fall. Then the moment of truth arrived. Mimi was dazed, weak and disoriented. Sexton lifts her up on her shoulders and sets up for her patented finishing move, the Electric Chair. Mimi is up on her shoulders. She knows what's about to happen and her eyes reflect panic. Sexton falls back and Mimi comes crashing on to her back. I saw her helpless and dazed for the first time. This is the stuff I LIVE for! Mimi is in big trouble! Sexton crashes down on the helpless Mimi with a full body slam! This is it! She grabs Mimi's leg and covers her for the pin. The ref counts 1....2.....3!!!! Mimi has been pinned. It was a beautiful thing!

Some of you may be scratching your heads right now and saying that this sounds awesome. How could I possibly be talking about this in less than GLOWING terms?

Well, a couple of things. For one, Sexton's pin of Mimi was simply glorious, but we didn't get a good camera angle on it. Also, the camera didn't linger on Mimi at all during or after the pin. Mimi's reaction to being pinned was awesome, but, once again, there was no close shot. The main problem, however, was something that I have never seen before or since in any wrestling match. They went to a commercial after the second fall, and when they came back they announced that the match was over. No third fall. No seeing Mimi in action after taking a pounding. No matter who would have won, I am sure the third fall would have been a huge victory for me.

I have tried to find out what happened on that day, but no luck so far. I always suspected that Mimi was injured for real in a move gone wrong. Right before the pin, they were both outside the ring. Susan appeared to slam Mimi onto the apron. It looks like Mimi's legs were supposed to hook onto the ropes and keep her suspended upside down, but she wound up falling from the apron down to the floor. It looks like she landed on her shoulders. Furthering my suspicion that something went wrong, it looks like Susan asks Mimi if she's ok.

I contacted Susan Sexton online once and asked her about this. She didn't seem to recall exactly what happened, but did say something about Mimi's contract calling for her not to lose on TV.

No matter what happened that day, there was tremendous potential that went untapped.

The LPWA folded a year later and I haven't seen Mimi wrestle very much since. I've seen her movies and followed her career, but the all-elusive "squash" remains a fantasy in my head.

Misty Blue, Wendy Richter, Madussa Micelli, Teri Powers, and some other wrestlers all share the same problem with Mimi in my book. Not enough footage of their defeats. That simply makes the rare footage available even more valuable to people like me. Perhaps future technologies will make it so I can take these wonderful powerful women and use their images in computer generated matches that I will create. It's not that far fetched, you know.

One more brief point on potential not fulfilled, it turns out that Mimi did a video for Golden Girls very early on in her career. She fought the incredible Belinda Belle in what should have been a dream come true. Unfortunately for me, the match was different from what I would have wanted. For starters, it was prior to Mimi's breast augmentation, but I could easily live with that. The thing that really disappointed me was the horrible bikini they gave her to wear. I simply could not get past it. Also, the action wasn't great, Mimi lost by submission and worst of all, there was no drawn out shot of the vanquished Mimi on her back. Alas, another missed masterpiece!
