Indra vs Candy Pain? Pro-Style opinions?

I just posted the following to our yahoogroup. I'm reposting here too in order to gather even more opinions:


Hey guys,

I'm setting up for a pro-style match between Indra and Candy Pain for this coming week.  I think these ladies will be great together!  We're open to suggestions about holds you'd like to see with these ladies.  Who does what to whom?  Who wins?  Boots or no boots?!

Meandering, Fashion, Pro-Style, October Update

Finally back to the blogging.  I think the cool near-autumn weekend morning + the espresso may provide good inspiration for this.

As usual, there is a lot going on.  And, as usual, I have to be selective when choosing my discussion topics, lest the entry be too meandering or too much like a bullet point list.  Twitter is good for bullet point lists, but the blog - ah the blog - the blog is for topical expansion.

Anyway!  Not to say meandering blog entries are bad.  Maybe "meandering" was the wrong word to use in that above quasi-paragraph.  But anyway, this weather we're having today makes me think of Canada or northern New York.  But, meandering, what?  Let's meander back to wrestling production discussion and see where that takes us...

Dorian Gray Party with VeVe and Indra

This week was filled with topical wrestling matters, but first let me talk about this one bit of non-wrestling filming.  On Wednesday night, I went to a fashion fetish party with Indra and VeVe on the Lower East Side.  I'd been wondering where all the fashion fetish people and goth/industrial folks had gone... and here they were.

I was there to film the fashion show for Indra.  Yes, there was a fashion show at this party.  It was somewhat part of Fashion Week, though also sort of a rebellion vs Fashion Week: an Alternative Fashion show.  In any case, it was a latex fashion show.  Indra is a huge fan of latex, by the way.  We really must get her on film doing some latex wrestling and domination, I must say.

Of course, neither VeVe nor Indra actually wore latex to this party because it was an incredibly hot night here in NYC.  But VeVe did finally sport her lovely new "heavy metal" leather corset, which she procured at FetCon.  Here she is in that, backstage in the changing room area:

The party was very aesthetically pleasing, the filming was a challenge - but my camera performs admirably in low light - and the place was packed.  And... this story does not involve wrestling!  However, this was my first time seeing Indra since her return to NYC from her month of travelling abroad.  And this story also inspires me to consider outfits for the ladies for future filming to come.

Thanks for following me on that little meander.  Now, I attempt to stray back on topic.

Pro-Style on the Rise?

I once again bemoan the fact that getting access to a wrestling ring here in NYC is actually remarkably difficult.  Why bemoan?  Well, because the ladies have all been demonstrating impressive chops when it comes to performing pro-style matches.

I just filmed a pro-style match with VeVe and Orlandoe, as per special request.  This was Orlandoe's first time doing a pro-style video, and I think she did great.  She'd been avoiding this style, I think because she felt so unfamiliar with it.  However, her athleticism and experience with stage performance saw her through, and I think she did a great job.  So, with her natural villainous inclinations, she'd be great to jump in for a few more videos.

That said, we sure have been doing a lot of pro-style lately.  That is, relative to, say, female competitive bouts.  Why's that?  Aside from the fact that patrons have been commissioning matches, there's also the fact that pro-style is so fun, flashy, and creative.  Plus: outfits.  Often shiny outfits.

 

In addition to getting Orlandoe to dip her toe into the pro-style pool, we have also been working on getting Hanz back into tights and on camera.  Hanz last appeared in a "pro-style" capacity as the Red Wrestler in Lucha Spandex Smackdown from 2011.  I look forward to getting him into action in a full pro-style capacity.  For one, we need more diversity of male talent in the pro arena.  And secondly, I need a break!

Coming up soon: I'm trying to set up a pro-style bout between Indra and Candy Pain.  We've also got a pro match in the works for VeVe and Honey (of LWS).  Hopefully we can also get Candy to beat up Hanz as well!

Now I think I only have space to talk about one more topic in this entry, lest it get too long and unwieldy...

Update on October Filming Plans

Development for this large-scale filming event continues at a good pace.  We've got a huge list of guest wrestlers coming in, including some long distance travellers:

Minxy Li, Venom, Skylar Rene, Savannah Fox, Mistress Kara, Julie Squeeze

The local NYC crew: VeVe, Orlandoe, Amazon Annie, Candy Pain, Indra, Crazy Azy

And fellow East Coast denizens: Xeena, Catfight Jenn

After considering this last night, I have come to the conclusion that New York City is actually going to be INVADED by these visitors.  We will find ourselves under siege by the combined forces of Britain and California.  Imagine that!

I think the local ladies may have to fortify themselves against these invaders, who are all coming to claim victories on our local soil.  Granted, they'll also be fighting each other, but whatever.

This will certainly be our largest filming event yet.  I expect some chaos.  Maybe a fair amount of chaos.  I'm trying to get everyone onto a tangible schedule, but that's a toughy when the kitchen has a lot of cooks.  However, lots of wrestlers, long duration room bookings, lots of mats, video cameras.  Yeah, it'll be a sight!  Onward and upward!

.... there's yet so much to talk about, but the talk is blocking all the talk!  Oh well, til next time!

Indra Onslaught, VeVe Fights Angry, Pro-Style Potential

Hello April.  Whew, that was a long March.  I feel like I have just been stamping "March 2013 MixedWrestlingNYC.com" on so many video pieces lately.  And, well, I think indeed I have been.

My last post was a little quicky, though I hope the pictures added up to the thousand words they are suppose to.  Now that I have a moment, I am going to give a more proper recapping.  Here goes.

Indra Onslaught

As you have likely gathered by now, I filmed quite a lot with Indra recently.  She arrived from London for March, and she got right out in front of the camera almost immediately.  March 2013's works are filled with Indra; she's done customs, company-ventured pieces, tickling, bondage, nylons, judo foot action, and even some balloon popping for VeVe's balloonery endeavors.

Indra + Mark = Endless Abuses.  ShortFuse Mark came back for a visit late in March, and he had a marathon day of filming with Indra.  I filmed pieces for both his studio (Brutal Beauties Wrestling) and for our studio (Mixed Wrestling NYC).  All with Indra putting the hurt on him in a variety of ways.

She wrestled him down, tied him up super tight, and harassed him.  She got into her nylons and scissored him silly, adding even more insults to injury.  She pushed him to the limit to get him to "safeword" out of a thrashing she'd been giving him.  And she judo threw him, kicked him in the knees, and subjected him to the agony of "de feet."  And even though she did new video after new video, she kept it fresh and alive every time.  Very impressive, but I have always been very impressed with Indra's trash talking domination abilities, professionalism, and performance skill.

She and Mark worked very well together, and good chemistry is essentially for a great result.  They communicated well during the shoot, understood each other, and got on a roll.  A good recipe for pushing limits and boundaries in a beatdown type situation.  Great work, both of you.

VeVe's Goings-On and Fighting Angry!

I must also mention that VeVe kicked off the Indra/Mark shoot day with her own video with Mark.  This one makes for a good telling...

VeVe was asked to do a fully competitive Full Nelsons Match with Mark.  No big deal, right?  I mean, it's Mark.  However, things are never as easy as they may appear.  You see, even though Mark is useless as an attacker, he can be tenacious as a defender.  And in a match where the one objective is to achieve a certain difficult hold, well, the defensive-oriented player has the "edge."

So, here's VeVe working and working and working to get both of her arms snaked around Mark's neck for the full Nelson, but Mark kept forcing his arms down and had a leverage advantage in doing so.  So... VeVe tosses him over and over, throwing him into different positions in order to try and work his arms loose.  But he kept defending.  And time was ticking.

Here's a tip for your own safety: don't make her frustrated.

Well, here she was getting frustrated.  And it just isn't pleasant to experience this if you are her opponent.  So, Mark soon found that he was getting heel kicked in the hips and torso.  And he was getting slammed down with a little extra force, that he was getting elbows dug into him, that he was about to get his head detached from his body.

I was watching this, and I was getting a little nervous, actually.  She was getting furious, she was fighting angry, and Mark was still holding on for dear life.  I mean, it was great emotion in the fight; it was raw and right out there.  I've experienced her fighting angry before, and I really don't think any of her male video opponents have had the pleasure.  Basically, it looks like she is out to kill you.  And maybe she will!

Finally, finally, and much to my great relief (I was sweating!), his limbs started getting exhausted and giving out on him, and as VeVe flipped him face down, she ferociously slipped her arms behind his neck and locked on like a pitbull.  I've shown this before, but this still is from a few moments after that, once she'd rolled him face-up:

It was a really great, passionate fight.  Once VeVe scored her first full Nelson hold (held for 15 seconds), Mark's adrenal burst had been spent.  So, VeVe helped defuse her anger by locking him up more and more, all as he struggled to get his bearings.  But his body was just too spent from about 13 minutes of heavy, heavy resisting.  So, he had to bear the brunt of more nelsons and grapevines as VeVe ground her win into his face.

Ok, wow, recounting that was actually pretty exhausting!

Pro-Style Potential

Taking a break from the above train of thought for a moment, allow me to talk about a potential new addition to our wrestling video community.

I met a young lady two weeks ago, introduced to me by Orlandoe.  She's a performance artist with a 13-year background in gymnastics.  She also has a background in mud wrestling and jello wrestling, and she's a big fan of the ladies of G.L.O.W. (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, from the 80s).  As we also learned, she is also a friend and colleague of Amazon Annie, who was also inspired by the ladies of G.L.O.W.

Well, how great!

She's about 5'8" and 170 lbs, with long wild hair, strong legs, and an energetic personality.  However, she has yet to reveal her wrestler name; she's working on finding the perfect name for herself.  I wish she would have it soon!  

Anyway, we invited her and Indra to come down for a Pro-Style Holds workshop this past Monday, and the ladies had a great time working together.  I think our newcomer has great pro-style potential, and she and Indra got on very well.  While I was able to grab a few snapshots from the workshop, I admit I wasn't able to run the camera very much... and we did work on quite a number of holds, ranging from the simple surfboard, to the camel clutch, boston crab, and even ceiling hold.

New Talent putting Indra into the Boston Crab

We are very excited to see her in her first video, and she is especially interested in performing in female vs female pro-style videos.  Hopefully we can also get some of our male talent trained up enough to get more involved in pro-style as well, so we can also get her involved in mixed action.

Speaking of mixed pro-style too, I think I have my sights on Hanz as my next trainee here.  I'm not really sure how he will do, but I think he may have potential.  What do you think, Hanz, are you reading this? :)

Hanz and I need to switch roles here in the pro-style genre - he always films me, so it's his turn for me to film him being all spandex-clad and larger-than-life.

Well, so there's my update for now.  I hope you enjoyed!  More to come as we head into April and even further into spring.  Hooray for warmer weather!
