Thanks, my kind of ring fight. Hard, strong and very clse the whole way

Rodina took about 30 seconds to realize that Bennett wasn't skilled enough to do anything to her as long as she was patient.

Thanks for the find and the post.  I always loved watching Reggie and it was great fun to watch her against a woman of equal girth.  Obviously, Reggie was schooled in the art of professional wrestling and not in real fighting.  Although she's totally outclassed here, I really admire her gameness.  Would have loved to see more matches like this.

Thanks for sharing this video. For my money, Reggie was one of the sexiest pro wrestlers in the busy, in her early days. I would have loved to seen her in a shoot match when she was young, fit, and wearing her sexy tights. My biggest complaint with Reggie was that she rarely lost, and when she did lose it was done in a fluky way. This video showed she was not so tough facing someone her size in a non-scripted match.
