I found another She-fights in one of my boxes.  The second post is a... well you can see for yourself.

Being from Canada, I speak both English and French. I have some french (Quebec) material as well.  The first is a wrestling magazine and the wording in red says: The women in the sport.  I even kept a "newspaper" on female wrestlers.  The third pic is from the newspaper.  It was a school for women's pro wrestling in Montreal.  Lise Raymond, the second girl from the right was a well known pro wrestler in Quebec.

The first pic is vintage material that I copied from the French magazine.  The second pic is one of the many Triumph Studios catalogs.  The third pic, I threw in for fun...  It's the back cover of one of my magazines.  

[wrstlvr]

The first is the intro to an article in one of my wrestling magazines.  The second is a magazine from 1975 on apartment house wrestling.  The third is a porn magazine with some wrestling.  Let me know if you'd like to see pics of what's inside the magazines that I post.  More to follow later, including mud wrestling.

Some fights from Catspats and a grudge match from Live...

I had that copy of Catspats! I remember the centre page spread was a catfight featuring Blake Mitchell versus a redhead. The pics for the photoshoot were posed, but she looked vicious and hot.

A great thread. Although I have a longstanding interest in female wrestling and catfights, it wasn't until the nineties as a twentysomething that I started to explore the companies providing materials for enthusiasts. This was right before the internet took off in a big way so like wrstlvr, it was all mail order so the wait for videos and magazines to arrive was all about the anticipation.

Magazines like Claws and Catspatz and even the catalogues (DWW used to send them regularly) were reassuringly seedy looking, like forbidden fruit. In all the time spent pouring over them, I began my education as to who these women were. It was always a delight to know that newspaper glamour models like Lynda Leigh, Louise Hodges and Teresa May participated and equally so in finding out the identity of women who appeared in videos, hence why the likes of Venus DeLight and Blake Mitchell have a place in my heart.

Sadly the magazines have long since gone, although I do have scanned pages from Claws magazine featuring Karen Partington (below).

The arrival of the internet made catfighting all the more accessible, more so with the advent of video sharing sites. It's easy to take the footing that it's all up for grabs but I still buy downloads from companies, even if I have a copy lifted from the internet. Case in point the nightclub oil wrestling match between Mutiny and Xana - the copy from Mutiny Wrestling is better quality, longer and more close to the action than it's bootleg counterpart.

For the benefit of fans outside of Europe and younger fans who may have never seen a copy of Amazons in Action I have posted a few of the mags front covers so you can get some idea of how far ahead of its time in pre internet days it was.
Pleased  to see a copy of Claws had survived though really it was a poor relation of A.I.A.and tended to deal mainly in fantasy.Swish Publications were the people behind both and the forerunner a almost pocket sized fetish magazine Accord which dedicated a small section to the female fight scene,In this section there were some times the odd photographer from fans claiming their wives were fighters,one that springs to mind was Mrs.P.H.whose face was never visible.
The other fore runner was a glossy covered handful of editions of Womens Wrestling which as far as I can recall lasted a very short time.

Thank you DavidUK and klaus for your input.  Glad to see you help me populate this thread.  Too bad there isn't a site where regular everyday women who don't mind sharing pics and descriptions of their IRL fights with other enthusiasts.  I understand the rationale for them not wanting to have their photos splashed across the net so pervs can jerk off while watching them.  Still, I'm pretty sure that some don't mind.  I will not give out the names, but I know of a few IRL fighters on the FCF who have posted some good pics on another website dedicated to fetishists.  I managed to find some other oldies from the 70s.  Here's a handout from Sundance Studios that came out in the mid 70s.  The early years of Sheri Whitlow.

This is from Superior Studios, again in the mid 70s.

[wrstlvr]

Here are a couple of pages from Impact Productions. Early 70s...  I'll take a few close-up shots of other pages.  This is good stuff from way back.

[wrstlvr]

Yesterday I promised you something on mud wrestling.  These pics are taken from a "Velvet" porn magazine that I have from the mid 80s.  I'll post two here and two more on the next post.

[wrstlvr]

More mud wrestling

[DavidUK]

This is from Superior Studios, again in the mid 70s.

That third one is brilliant, selling the dream lol

But so typical of ads for wrestling/catfighting photos and videos at the time. Still, it worked!

Another update from the U.K.I mentioned before Accord magazine,a close inspection of the one illustrated here will reveal it's price at the time.Hard to believe but it was fifty pence!!!
Compare that to the later A.I.A.at eight pounds,which even today is a considerable amount of money,imagine the hole it made in a fans pocket in those days when the internet was a distant dream.This is possibly why the intention was to publish it as a quarterly,which made it even more difficult to follow as fans could rarely work out a publication date,this was particularly difficult for fans living outside the London area.A friend of mine even resorted to phoning Swish Publications to find a date and even more confusing they were unable to confirm a date for certain.

Great stuff!  I could actually read most of My Wife's Secret Hobby but couldn't make out Bare and Beaten at all.  Please keep searching for the Naked Berlin Wrestlers magazine.  Would love to see
the photos!  And keep up the good work.  Your efforts are appreciated.

 

[wrstlvr]

Thank you Klaus for adding more magazines.  Amazons in Action #80 looks pretty good.  Personal interviews of combative women, eh?  And floon, I don't have a Naked Berlin Wrestlers magazine, but I do remember having an article on this on one of my magazines.  I'm still looking, but I have a lot of magazines and little free time.  I'll find it though, I promise.

Meanwhile, if you like big girls, here's something from Violent Videos.  These were from the late 80s, I believe.  The hair styles may give it away...  Could have been a predecessor to Jaguar Videos.  I apologize for the poor quality.  I used my small Canon camera instead of my Nikon to take these.  Never again...  Anyway, check out 175 lb blond Marilyn and 148 lb Rona.  Then again, 115 lb Amy is sexy as hell but losing badly against 175 lb Blaze.  I could retake these photos later if anyone is interested.  You can barely read the text.
