Ellie vs. Pete, summer of '84 By elliebi@aol.com This is a match I fought when I was probably at my best. I was lean and muscular and felt the best ever. Pete was Tina's husband and a very good, wiry and muscular wrestler. He was only 5'6, 163, but fast and strong. I was 129 then and really able to hold my own against much bigger opponents. We had beaten Tina and Pete in tag matches, but she beat me four times and Lee beat Pete about seven straight times. He had a harder time with Tina than he did with most of his matches against Pete. We were pretty good friends and went places with them. But wrestling was different. Friendship didn't count much. The match following this one is Lee vs. Kay, which was one of the roughest matches we'd ever held in the Virginia Beach group. We helped set up the wrestling room with mats and padding and then prepared for the night's matches. Tom was the ref tonight and he did the introductions. "In the red corner, from the wilds of Indian River Rd. here at 129 lbs. is the roughest, toughest gal in all Virginia Beach, here's the great Ellie Smythe." I came out wearing white tights and red sports bra. I was wrestling barefooted. "And now in the blue corner, from the College Park Rd. here's the greatest wrestler since his wife, at 163 lbs, here's Pete the Warrior Prince." He came out dressed as a Polynesian warrior with spear. He slowly removed the wrap-around skirt and other ornaments and spear and wore a very brief white Speedo that couldn't hide his hardon or his balls. The women really loved that Speedo. Tom called us out and explained the rules we agreed to: no attacking the eyes or face with fist, knees, or feet; no kicks or elbows to the groin area. We nodded and returned to our corners. Tom rang the bell and we came out. We locked up and he managed to push me against a wall. We both released the hold and he rammed a knee into my belly twice before Tom pushed him back. I held my belly and rubbed it to ease the pain, then met him to lock up again. He pushed me against a wall again, but I used his strength to jump and wrap my legs around his waist. He released the referee's hold and I grabbed his hair and held on while squeezing. He tried to drive my back into a wall, but I didn't let go. I eased up a bit and then poured on more pressure, trying to hurt his ribs. I kept up the pressure, often quivering my legs to intensify the pressure on his ribs. I loved looking at my opponent's face and seeing how the pain affects him. He had a desperate look and I loved it. Pete tried to pry my legs apart, but no luck. They were locked tight around him and I had his head tight into my chest so he had a hard time breathing. After a few minutes of this, he fell forward, my back landing hard on the mat and he on top. I released the scissors and lay stretched out winded and hurt. My back ached from the hard landing and his weight on top of me. Pete rolled off and rested for a few seconds while I tried to focus on the match and not my back. I slowly got to a kneeling position, but he was up and waiting. He flew into my head with both feet knocking me into the wall and down. My head hit hard and I saw stars for a few seconds. When he pulled my arm and yanked me up, I was dizzy. He grabbed my hair and rammed my head into a wall. My forehead hit hard and I staggered backwards. Pete rammed my head again, then grabbed my throat and placing a leg behind my left leg, tripped me and sent me backwards onto the mat. The room was spinning as I tried to get up. I reached for something to help me, but Pete kicked my arm. He then pulled me up and with a scoop, picked me up for a bodyslam. This was his favorite form of punishment. He carried me around for a few seconds, then jumped up and slammed me into the mat with him on top. He hooked a leg and Tom got to 2 before I raised a shoulder. Pete pulled me up again and scooped me up for another slam. But I had the presence of mind to start kicking me legs and grabbing his face, bothering his concentration enough to make him lose it and fall backwards. I landed on top and quickly hooked a leg. But he kicked out at 1. I knelt beside him and yanked his hair, pulling his head off the mat. Then I rammed it hard into the mat about five or six times. His eyes became glassy and stared at me. I pulled him into a sitting position and knelt behind him, wrapping an arm around his throat and pulling back hard. He gagged and clawed my arms trying to get free, but not this time. I had him and I was going to finish him off. I tried to crush his throat and felt good feeling him twitch and try to fight free. He soon became weaker and I knew He was gone. But I made a stupid mistake. I eased up and he suddenly came to life, grabbing my hair and pulling my head while driving his head backwards into my face. He smashed into my nose and I saw stars. I immediately released and fell back holding my nose. Blood started running out and I thought maybe it was broken. Tom stopped for a moment and we stopped the bleeding, but Pete was rested and ready to go and I was still dazed and now worried about my nose. When Tom told us to continue, we locked up, but it was all Pete. He pushed me into a corner, held my head and drove several forearms into my head. His arm felt like a club, pounding my head. Tom forced him back at the count of 4, but he came right back and continued. He pulled me out and drove a forearm into my jaw that knocked me to the mat. I struggled to get up and used to wall to steady me. Pete grabbed an arm and threw across the room into another wall. I hit with my shoulder and bounced off. Pete flew at me and tackled me into the wall. We both fell and I landed on my back. Pete grabbed my hair and trapped my head between his thighs in a painful scissors. He rolled over forcing my head back and pressuring my neck. Now I tried to claw free, but his legs were too strong for me to pry them apart. He soon maneuvered his legs trapping me in a choking scissors. I stamped the mat in frustration and desperately tried to claw his legs. Taking advantage of our sweat, I finally managed to move around in front of Pete, do a headstand and twist out of the scissors. I landed next to him and sat up, my head aching and me still unable to focus on the match. Pete stood behind me and grabbed my hair and chin. He began twisting my head form side to side. The pain from this twisting was horrible. The pains shot down my back. Tom asked if I quit and I yelled NO each time. I could hear Pete laughing and Tina yelling encouragement. I sat there helpless as he twisted my head around wrenching my neck. He finally stopped and holding my head down, dropped an elbow into my neck. "AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE, uuuuuuuuugggghhhhhhhhhhhh, god, stop, stop," I screamed then groaned and mumbled. I fell to my left side, barely moving. Pete placed a foot on my head and did a double-arm pose. Most cheered as he pointed at me. "Is this the great Ellie? I thought she was sooooooooo great. What a fake! She couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag." The crowd loved it as he hammed it up. I slowly rolled around and managed to kneel on one knee. He walked to me and grabbed my hair to pull me up. I let out a scream and drove a forearm into his groin. He froze and clutching his balls, stumbled back against the wall. His breathing was rapid and he looked very hurt. I stood and slowly walked to him. He put up an arm to try to stop me. I grabbed it and pulled him into me, driving a knee into his belly. He doubled over and I took his hair and rammed his face into the wall several times. "That should make you forget your balls," I said as I held him by his hair. His face was red and bruised, like mine, from meeting the wall. I turned and sent him to the mat with a snap mare. I pulled him up and sent him with another snap mare. He sat up dazed and shaking his head. I grabbed both arms and pulled back, placing a foot against his upper back. The sweat was poring over his body and I'm sure the pain was horrid. He refused to quit and just shook his head each time Tom asked. I moved my foot up to his neck and pushed hard. He screamed, but kept refusing. I have to say this hold is my favorite and I love overpowering someone with it. I get a feeling of power that affects me in strange ways. I get excited and very aroused from seeing someone suffer in this hold. That's how I felt with Pete. I could see the grimace on his face and the sweat pouring over his face and body and I knew I had him. I just had to end this before I had an orgasm. I finally released the hold and pulled a limp Pete up. He was unable to fight and just stood dazed. I grabbed his hair and pulled his head into a side headlock, tight against my body. He barely tried to get free, his arms and shoulders weakened and his breathing fast. I pounded his forehead with the palm of my hand to help with a headache. He tried to claw my arms, but he was finished. I released the hold and held him up. He was barely able to stand as I lifted him over a shoulder and ran into a wall, driving his back into it. It knocked the wind out of him and he just hung in my arms. I held him for a few seconds, just loving the feel of his solid, muscular body under my total control. I put him down and spun him around, then lifted him into a backbreaker. I held him up for about three minutes, bouncing his back on my shoulders. He moaned a few times, but nothing coherent. I held him tight by his throat and crotch. His arms and legs just hung limp as I carried him around the room. I decided it was time to end this so I fell backwards, landing on him as we hit the mat. I rolled over and covered him. Tom counted him out and I had won. I lay across his chest for almost a minute, running my hands over his exciting and beaten body, before I slowly rolled off and lay next to him, our chests heaving from the exertion and soaked with sweat. We lay there for several minutes while the crowd cheered us both. Both Lee and Tina came out and helped us up, all four of us going back to clean up and get ready for the next match. Pete and I hugged as we walked out. Notes: Ellie: This is one of my best fights and a very proud moment for me. The idea that I could take Pete was too much even though I had fought larger opponents. He was just very tough and a great competitor. It was also the only time I ever beat Pete. We would have made a good tag team. But he and Tina made an even better one. Lee said I looked magnificent as I Lay next to Pete after pinning him. That may have been the sexiest I ever looked as a wrestler. I just know I felt great and Lee loved it.
