Ah I see, so they were each intense but in different ways.
Were you sorer after the Jolie fight or Clobs? Curious about any backstory to the Jolie fight as well, beyond the rival producers, or was that it?
I was pretty sore after the fight with Clobbs. Both of our scalps hurt pretty badly the next day from all the hairpulling, and I definitely had a sore neck from the death-grip she had on my hair.
As for the Jolie fight and the backstory - I never met her before that day, but I had heard a lot of people talking about her. She was a very popular session wrestler here in NYC before she moved to California. The fight was set up by special commission as a private viewing match. We decided to videotape it at the last minute; we didn't originally set it up as a video match.
One of the things we were fighting about was looks. It was a sort of "this town ain't big enough for two blond, light-weight underground grappler chicks with belly tattoos." Of course, we were also fighting for the honor of our respective companies, but we also had that personal "I just don't like you around" vibe. Once the camera started rolling and we knew everything would be filmed for posterity, the intensity increased a notch more.
That match was shot back in 2007, by the way, when I was just getting my feet in the underground scene. Catfight requests are a tad rare now a days around here, and so are catfighters in my area. Fortunately, I'm swinging down to an underground wrestling party in Philly on January 8 (
