Greatly enjoyed Barb's site. Had a couple of "conversations with her about my attraction and dealing with the wife.  Very understanding and helpful

Barb could have made a small fortune by simply billing guys like us for her counseling services.

Believe it or not I can remember sitting on the couch with my dad watching a prehistoric movie when two village girls started punching each other out. Here is the believe it or not, my mom left my dad when I was three years old so it had to be before then but I remember being so excited.

I love origin story talk so much and could listen all day to it!

I've done a lot of self reflection. I grew up very anxious seeing things fight, horses, the dogs in Ol Yeller, etc. This may sound strange but I would relive that anxiety in naughty ways to myself. So, when puberty kicked in and I saw two women oil wrestling on some TV digest show, I was mesmerized! 

From that point on, I couldn't get enough substance wrestling videos from local video rental stores!

Eventually I opened up a PO box under the disguise of a music club and found an ad for mail order video rental club and my fetish activity grew and developed and moved and I've become the hair pulling catfight fan I am today!

Thank you for sharing your journeys; I enjoyed reading through them. For me, my first interest was in video games, where I specifically liked pitting women against each other for some reason. As I grew older, I remember a medieval fight where two women were fighting. This was the first time that I felt some type of way, and I think my dad also noticed and knew something was up. Anyway, I didn't really think about it until I saw a great, decisive, and brutal catfight in person that shaped my preference. For example, my thing for knockouts and blonde vs brunette matchups. You can read about the fight here. https://www.freecatfights.com/forums/index.php?topic=116712.msg757514#msg757514

love this kind of thread..........prompts so many memories....the phases gone through and still marvelling at the bitches brawling !

Well it's been a long journey for "something" that I firmly believe was installed in my consciousness from a very early age. I always liked the  "Man from UNCLE" when it came out but I liked it even more when they featured a catfight. I also recall that the spin off "The Girl from UNCLE" had a catfight or two as well. so it was films & TV that sustained me until a magazine called "Amazons in Action" came out in the mid 70's. My horizons widened somewhat as it proved I wasn't alone in this particular form of "excitement" Moving south for work gave me the opportunity to explore a little deeper & also working in London allowed me to make selective purchases from the Swish shops in Great Guildford St, Newport Court & a very dodgy back street somewhere near Brough Underground station ! Plus spotting the AJAX catalogue in one of the magazines gave me access to his treasure trove of stories. The discovery of video tapes from Ring Girl productions, Crystal etc raised my visual awareness to whole new level. Like many of us on the scene we all got caught out on occasions with purchases that weren't quite in keeping with the Trades Description Act !! But life is indeed a journey of lessons !
One regret of many is not plucking up the courage to attend one of the TPC Days that were advertised in our publications in person. To say I was a bit shy back in those days was an understatement & was of the misguided impression that it was more of a solitary fetish. The internet of course blew that wide open & suddenly you didn't feel so alone. I missed out on so much but having some more disposable income did some serious catching up, Sensual Struggle Sexfights with the likes of Amber, Joslyn & Mandy & having discovered that the TPC bouts were available I was finally able to attend albeit virtually. Good grief, seeing the likes of Lena in full on mode ! Well WOW. Those three bouts / brawls / fights with Ayeshia certainly weren't faked in my opinion & I'd have loved to have heard the back story between the two of them. What a mature rematch that would have made !! Sadly I'm led to believe that Lena passed away in the first Covid epidemic so we'll never know why there was such enmity between them & the people involved with fixing up those fights are probably long gone now as well sadly.  Forums like this are a great help along with Hostboard for Mike JV's page which included the Mr Cage & John Smith fight stories. Deviant Art is another good resource & there's certainly some talent there but I think commissioning some pictures based on Cage's "The Will" or Ms Jacob's Barn II would potentially put such compositions in the RAM / Stanton realm, think Amazons Death Struggle 1 through to 4 !!
Somewhat cathartic writing this all down for the denizens of our world but no doubt we've had slightly similar stories as we navigate this unique underground corner of the world of fetishes.
Thanks for reading.

PS
Any idea what happened to the following fighting ladies ?
Taylor from Crystal
Maylay from Crystal
Ayeshia from TPC
Joslyn from Sensual Struggle
Chinky from Ring Girl Productions
Penguin from Ring Girl Productions

Thanks for the responses.  I enjoyed finding out what sparked other's interest.  It is amazing as I go back and look at those links I  posted in the OP, I still get excited watching those despite knowing the outcome.

I became hooked like many guys on FvF fighting with Sports Review Wrestling Apartment House Wrestling stories.  For a boy in a Catholic Grammar school the pictures of topless/naked ladies with black bars over the naughty bits was the only porn available. This was the early 1970's and Playboy and other magazines were only covered up so that only the titles showed and sold from "behind the counter". Then there were videos, and Cavalier magazine and it was off to the races.

I am not trying to start a bonfire with this message, merely commenting on subjects that have come from the OP.

Some information I have learned from being in the community that I think is relevant to the discussion. 

Regarding ladies who fought for Crystal. No I don't know any of them.  But I recall a posting somewhere on FCF by a member who said he has been a Crystal cameraman.  He also made reference to being at a gathering of some of the former Crystal fighters.  I am sorry but I do not recall the poster's FCF name.

Regarding Barb of CWS fame.  I do not know here, nor did I ever speak to her directly. I was a fan of the site.  "Barb"'s identify has to be the second biggest mystery behind who was D.B.Cooper, It was a fiction of the times, as the internet was in its infancy. I read that an earlier poster did have conversations with her. Trying to discover the identity of someone who has chosen to remain hidden is absolutely wrong, However I do wish there was a way for this community to convey our appreciation for bringing out hobby into the sunshine. Her VV group continues on Fetlife, but there is no moderator,  The last two ladies who ran herd on the group, hung up their panties, retired from fighting, and left Fet entirely.  I was fortunate to have had a message based relationship with one of them before she left the game. I do not recall asking her about Barb's identity but in general I think other women established the Fetlife Group and may have never actually known Barb IRL.

Just a minor note, another early star of FvF fighting, Venus DeLight has come out of retirement and did at least one match for JMR in 2024.  So as far as women leaving the business, one should never say never.

Always good to hear Venus Delight is doing well.  I hope she's found happiness and stability.

 Sinclair.

She seems to be. I have not chatted with her in a while.  She did have some serious health challenges about 4 years ago related to implants. It was challenging although I do not know exactly what was wrong.  They were removed and she healed up.  I always love seeing her in action.

Now if anyone know how Blair Mitchell is doing I'd love to find out.  She was another superstar in my book.

July 1, 1995 - Superfan Francine gives Stevie Richards a kiss that Beulah McGillicuty doesn't like and the two start pulling hair.

August 26, 1995 - After nearly two months of teases, Francine vs Beulah have a sanctioned catfight on ECW TV with Stevie Richards as special referee.

From there on I was always on the lookout for anything in pro wrestling that looked like it could result in a catfight and eventually found my way to things like Double Trouble and then message boards.
