@mud_wrestler The only live footage of Shelly I'm aware of messy wrestling is from Hellcat mud wrestlers. I think there's a mixed oil match on some video but that's not my thing.

@will450821 There's also very little vestige of Shelly mud wrestling, which was her special talent. Pictures mostly, almost no video trace.

Who remembers? Diane Berry (KO Casey) and Shelly the Burbank Bomber. Any other familiar face?

@mud_wrestler It's criminal that from all the many, MANY matches held at the Tropicana they only managed to put together 1 compilation event (Battling Beauties). They could have had volumes of VHS content.

@mud_wrestler Is Denise the girl who was in the oil match with Belinda? If so I would have loved to see her in a match against Kona!😲

Who remembers? Kona roars to the crowd as Denise King looks on. Probably the Hollywood Tropicana.

@mud_wrestler I'd have to watch it again. As far as the Jello video goes after you posted about it I rewatched it. THAT REF!🤬.. I remembered her being annoying but holy f**k she was AWFUL! She damn near ruined EVERY match!

@will450821 A bit too one sided in favour of Belinda. It was declared a draw, so somebody didn't follow the script, maybe.

Who remembers? It's not Burt Reynolds pouring oil on Denise King but an impersonator called Sasha Gabor (stage name): model, pilot, porn actor. Quite well known in the adult industry in his time.

Man to man

@mud_wrestler That ref had a severe case of "main character syndrome "😡

Who remembers? Gellorama! To the right we have a very curvy Renee Vicary about to mix it up in jello.

@mud_wrestler The tag match (pictured) and the match before it with Belinda Belle were good. If it wasn't for the most annoying ref EVER😡 they would have been GREAT!

@luvwomensfights Thanks for the info! There's a few videos I really want to see if I can fix if not just a little bit. I understand it won't be anywhere near perfect being that it's a free app but I'll see what I can do.

@will450821 I use VN, it's slightly annoying as it has adverts, but it has a good range of features, most importantly it can change the colour hue of a movie

I've said it before and I'll say it again, thank goodness for free movie editing apps on phones and tablets, they come to the rescue of many an old catfight, removing the orange colour cast from these hot hard fighting girls of Chaos/Kamifights isn't perfect, but it's watchable

Who remembers? Mugsy's Girls (1985) had every indication it was going to be a flop as regards the mud wrestling factor. IMHO, it did deliver, probably the swan song of a messy era. I know, we all wanted to see Laura Branigan mud-faced, but, alas, it was not to be.

@mud_wrestler The second to last match (pictured on the left) with the karate girl vs the fire eater was really good

@jackofhearts666 Thanks!

@will450821 It’s called Titfight Body Pins. Goldie Blair vs Dee Williams.

Nice set of tangled legs on these ladies. 🔥

@mud_wrestler If only I had the money, lol!

@will450821 Something you can notice if you've been in this business long enough: 20 years ago the women who would mud or oil wrestle to earn money were very hot looking. Nowadays you struggle to find the right stuff... If mud paid as much as it used to it wouldn't be the case.

Who remembers? Mud Wrestling! Tantala Ray dives for the muddy pin on the helpless Kristi Niccoli (Boom Boom Barbie in Battling Beauties), Ruth Gordon knocks Queen Kong out in the mud. Both from Mugsy's Girls (aka Girls of Delta Pi).

@mud_wrestler I'd also LOVE a remake of the film and have it set in the 80's!

@will450821 I think it was merely a matter of reputation: even if mud wrestling was extremely popular at that time, celebrities weren't supposed to wallow in the mud. I'm sure some sort of match was shot using the stunt, then edited out. It may still be lying around somewhere.

@mud_wrestler I guess, but she did take the role and she did the face-plant in the beginning of the match (I think). Again between the double doing 99% of the work and easy editing tricks they could have hid the switch. I'd love to hear some BTS info
