Anyone else catch the trailer for the upcoming Netflix series The Adventures of Cliff Booth during last night’s Super Bowl telecast? Spinoff of Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Couple of the scenes looked like possible mud or oil wrestling, maybe from the Tropicana? Hoping there is an episode that has some messy wrestling in it. I will definitely be watching for it.

I'm 1000% with you buddy!
Unfortunately though nobody on these forums really cares about WAM Wrestling. Infact the sheer mention of it draws a reaction as if you said you like to bash baby seals over the head with sacks filled with kittens and puppies during your spare time.
  I rarely post up here unless I'm either looking for a hard to find video that's been lost to time or to help someone with a female fight question they may have. I feel the catfight community has completely lost the plot to what actually drew us to this fetish in the first place, you know... the sole reason we're here (I've been thinking of writing a huge piece on this for about 3 years).
 Back on topic though the mud wrestling fan in me has extremely high hopes but the reality of it all is it's the year 2026 and it's an American mainstream production there's almost no chance that scene particularly the match featured in the clip last more than a few seconds including far too many quick cuts to the crowd. I REALLY hope I'm wrong but except for a pretty lengthy mud wrestling scene in Netflix GLOW 3rd season seeing a decent messy wrestling scene in a mainstream production filmed in the states is almost positively NEVER going to happen for the foreseeable future.

Totally agree with your take. Use to be, we’d get the occasional WAM match in a TV episode or movie. Nowadays, if you see a female fight, it’s probably MMA style or something of that sort, which is fine, but I miss some of the older stuff.

The movie or series (?) is directed by David Fincher who did Gone Girl, Fight Club, The Game, and one of my favorite movies  Se7en! He's a very prestigious and decorated director I doubt he'd be willing to "soil" his reputation by dwelling on a gratuitous mud wrestling scene. BUT again he did do fight club which pushed the envelope at times and the movie was written by Quinton Tarantino and judging by his extreme love for all things Grindhouse and exploitive there's a chance us messy wrestling fans could get what we've been wanting since arguably the mid 90s! *fingers crossed *
