Those Brooklyn Girls by supreme A tag-team charity wrestling tournament is electrified by the entrance of a female team. This story continues the adventures of two characters from "Sophie's 60th," who can be appreciated best by reading that story first. Gabe Green wasn't sure. "You and Rose want to enter the tournament? But it's an all-male deal. I don't know if that's a good idea." "No, Gabe, it's not exclusively male; it's just that all the other teams are men. So what? You know I can kick ass, male or female." The president of the West Palm Athletic Club nodded his head. He had watched Sophie Morgenstern destroy her wrestling coach in a sensational match just a few months previously. Her incredible victory had led to her current job as a fitness instructor, and wrestling coach, at the W.P.A.C., after Hunter Oaks, the man whom she defeated, resigned in disgrace after the match. Sophie had done a fine job at the club, but now she wanted to wrestle men again, in a highly publicized charity tag-team tournament organized by the leading health and fitness clubs in the Palm Beach area. She also wanted her assistant instructor and friend, Rose Vogelsong, to be her partner. Gabe was an old-fashioned sort who had trouble with the idea of women competing against men in anything, especially wrestling. He still didn't quite understand how Sophie, a 60 year old widow, could have beaten the 23 year old Hunter, even though he had seen the match with his own eyes, and could also see that Sophie, at 5'7" and 188 pounds, was as densely muscled as many male bodybuilders. Gabe was a businessman, not an athlete or sports physiologist. That improvements in diet, strength training, and overall fitness techniques were extending vigorous and youthful middle age well into the 60's, and enabling women who were willing to work hard enough to be competitive with men, made no impression. Still, Sophie had some pull in the club. She was very popular with members, and something of a local celebrity after her triumph over Hunter. And the club would gain favorable publicity by participating in the tournament. He doubted Sophie and Rose would get past the first round, but at least the club would be represented, and there were no male members of the staff who were as good at wrestling as these two crazy women. He reluctantly agreed to let Rose and Sophie represent West Palm. The women went into frenzied training for the tournament, lifting weights, practicing holds and escapes, and improving their stamina. They knew they were taking it more seriously than the other entrants, male fitness instructors and personal trainers from other Palm Beach clubs who would view the tournament as a lark. This would give them an advantage, at least in the first match. After two weeks of hard preparation, they were both ready. Rose, still pretty at 51, looked like a combination of Bette Midler and Laurie Fierstein, although she was much bigger. At 5'9", 195 pounds, and heavily muscled, she was almost as good in the ring as Sophie, and eager to prove her skill against male opponents. The night before the tournament a reception for the participants was held at the county civic center. As might be expected, the crowd was buffed, beautiful, and very cocky. The male wrestlers preened like peacocks for the media and their ladyfriends were cut from the same cloth: spandex. Into this crowd of narcissistic athleticism walked Rose and Sophie. They created a stir immediately, especially among the media, who had heard there was one female team in the tournament, and remembered that Sophie made an excellent interview. Soon they were surrounded by reporters, and cameras. Both wore mini-skirts, with low- cut sleeveless blouses, bright red lip gloss, and enough jewelry to impress the most obsessive customer of Tiffany's. Their skirts and blouses exposed their massive legs, arms, and cleavage for public viewing, and flaunted their sexuality. Sophie and Rose had always like to show off, and here they shared something in common with the rest of the crowd besides wrestling. They gave a good interview, predicting they would "go all the way," and hoping none of the men's teams would pull out in fear, now that they were officially in the competition. With one exception however, they were conspicuously ignored by the male athletes, who considered them a joke at best, freaks at worst, and no threat at all to win even one match, much less the tournament. Most had heard about Sophie's wrestling exploits, but regarded them as flukes. One wrestler did accost them. "Iron Mike" Laney, who was also the men's state champion light-heavyweight bodybuilder, walked up. "So, you're our wrestle ladies. Nice outfits." He just stood there, staring, trying to intimidate the two women. Laney was 5'10," 205 pounds, tanned, handsome and thickly muscled. He had wrestled in college, about 12 years ago. As chief fitness instructor of the Ocean View Sport Club, he was a natural rival to Sophie and Rose, and his team was the favorite to win the tournament. Sophie just smiled and wished him luck. He said, "Don't need any. It would be lucky for you to drop out early, though. Hope you don't see us in the ring. Have a nice evening." With that he lumbered off. "Probably hasn't finished scaring people yet," commented Rose. "He's the best wrestler here, except for me," Sophie said, "but as long as we don't draw him in the first round, we'll be OK. I've got a plan." Sophie's plan was based on knowing who their opponents were. She had a network of friends in the other health clubs, who had informed her about every wrestler in the tournament. Most of them weren't actually wrestlers at all, but merely fitness instructors, one or two with a little wrestling experience. The idea of the tournament had been to attract as many idle, rich women as possible by offering them the spectacle of very buffed, very young men grunting and groaning against each other, wearing brief speedos or bikinis, for which they would pay $50 a ticket. Palm Beach abounded in such women. "Iron Mike" was the only male contestant who had wrestled much, and that had been a long time ago. And he really wasn't a great wrestler, from what Sophie's contacts said, relying mostly on power moves instead of skill. Sophie saw that as a weakness to be exploited.. Draws were held for the matches next morning at the municipal sports arena, the site of the tournament. The first match would start at 9 a.m.. There were eight teams entered, single elimination, meaning a team must win two matches to get in the championship. Sophie and Rose were fortunate. Instead of Laney, they drew what Sophie said was the weakest team in the competition, two aerobics instructors from the North Palm club. They were smaller than the Brooklyn Girls(all the teams had names, and Rose picked this for her and Sophie, both native Brooklynites) and had never wrestled. The match was at 10. The Brooklyn Girls wore matching red one piece, speedo type racing suits, cut high on the hips, rather modest for them(compared to their usual bikinis) but which still showed off nicely their curves, muscles, and impressive breasts. Sophie never got on the mat. Rose locked up with the smaller of their two opponents, who weighed 155. Within a minute she had him in a bearhug. Within five she had german-suplexed him up and over her four consecutive times. After dropping some elbow shots on his chest, she hooked his leg for the pin at 7 minutes. Rose was barely sweating when she came back to the corner. "Damn, that was easy." Her victim's partner appeared relieved that he didn't have to face Sophie. The easy win drew attention. Reporters crowded around, sticking mikes in their faces. Some of the male reporters were obviously affected by the musky sensuality of the two big, buxom, heavily muscled women in revealing suits which had trouble hiding, or holding in, all their assets. Sophie predicted they would win the next match, meet "Iron Mike's" team in the final, and defeat them as well. Their next opponents were tougher. Red Socher and Dave Martin had wrestled in high school, 15 years earlier, and now were fitness instructors in weightlifting and strength development. Roughly the same size as The Brooklyn Girls, they dubbed themselves the Pin Gators. Part of Sophie's plan was to avoid long, drawn out matches, conserving their energy for the championship. When the bell rang, she charged across the ring and tackled Red, bodyslammed him twice, and went for a quick pin. He was stunned, but threw her off before the three count. She was able to capture him in a figure-4 leglock for almost 10 minutes before he could escape and tag Dave. Sophie handed over to Rose, and for five minutes Rose went toe to toe with Dave. Rose had the better of it, but Dave was able to tag Red before Rose could escape to her side of the ring, and Sophie. Red tried an arm-bar submission on Rose, but she could take a lot of punishment(as Sophie had learned in her matches with Rose). Red was still weakened by Sophie's figure 4, and was clearly tiring. When he tried to tag in Dave again, Rose broke his arm-bar, blocked the tag, whipped him over to Sophie's corner, tagged her, and let the big amazon go to work. This time, three bodyslams softened him up enough for Sophie to roll him up in a cradle and pin him, at 18 minutes into the match. The Brooklyn Girls were in the finals! As expected, Mike Laney and his partner, Scott Myers, aka The Terminators, easily won their preliminary matches, and a battle-of-the- sexes was set up for the decisive match. This unforseen development generated tremendous excitement. There was a rush on tickets for the championship, which was scheduled for 7 p.m.. Both teams were on the early news at 6, and Sophie announced the Brooklyn Girls had a "surprise" for the match. By 7, the arena was packed, and the crowd was buzzing with excitement. The Terminators made their entrance first. Clad in black, bodybuilder style bikinis, both well-built men were spectacular looking, and the female spectators shrieked their approval as they climbed into the ring, and confidently posed for the crowd. Suddenly, the arena lights went out. The crowd quieted. A spotlight focused on the rear entrance, and there they were!! This was Sophie's surprise. She had persuaded the arena management to cut the lights and give The Brooklyn Girls a spotlight entrance, and play Frank Sinatra's song about New York as their theme music. But the truly outrageous part of this fanfare was Sophie and Rose themselves. They were decked out in white heels, and short, white mink coats, that showed off their shapely, but extremely well-muscled thighs and legs. Both women wore identical white feather boas, white rimmed dark glasses, and sequined headbands with "flapper" feathers. The two lady wrestlers were stunning, sensual, and beautiful as they made their way down the aisle to the ring. Once in the ring, the musclewomen slowly stripped down to their suits, and these provoked gasps from the audience. They had traded in their one piece speedos for matching, metallic-gold, micro-bikinis. The contrast of their revealing suits, their luscious, mature, well curved buns and shapely breasts, with the massiveness and hardness of their muscles, was intensely erotic, and a thick cloud of sexual tension and anticipation spread through the arena as the scantily clad wrestlers came together in the middle of the mat to receive their instructions. The wrestlers were aroused more than anyone. As they confronted each other, Sophie and Mike, Rose and Scott, the women could see the men's reaction in the swollen bulges of their bikinis, while the men noticed the hardness and size of the ladies' nipples, poking through the thin fabric of their golden, overloaded, brassieres, and the outline of their aureoles as well. Rose joked, "You boys are so cute, I'm going to have trouble keeping my mind on wrestling." "Iron Mike" was furious at being upstaged by a "couple of old broads." He yelled at the ref to get the match started. Sophie planned to key on him, letting Rose deal with his smaller, less capable partner. Myers was across the ring to start the match, so Rose went out to face him. But just as the bell rang, Laney jumped in and took his place before Rose could retreat to tag Sophie. He attacked her violently, bodyslamming her twice, and trying to humiliate the women with a quick win. But Rose was no pushover. She kicked out of three successive pin attempts by Laney, who had showed his contempt for Rose by not softening her up after his first pin failed. After the third, Rose swung her legs up fast and hooked them around Laney's head before he could pull away. She had the state bodybuilding champ in a neck scissors! The crowd went wild! No one had expected the lady wrestlers to win a match, much less challenge for the title. Sophie was shouting encouragement to her partner, and proud she was doing so well against the formidable male. Laney was so cocky and overconfident he was in danger of losing the match to "the weaker sex" in the first 5 minutes! For a few seconds, he was mesmerized by being imprisoned in Rose's smooth, tanned thighs, but gradually began dragging them both towards the ropes, where she would have to release her hold. Finally, he made it, and Rose complied with the ref's order to release him. Both wrestlers got to their feet and studied each other. Laney charged and clotheslined Rose with his massive right arm, smashing the big woman to the canvas. Pulling her up by the hair, he clotheslined her again. The crowd started booing, for this was an illegal move, too dangerous to be permitted in a supposedly lighthearted, non-professional charity match. But Laney didn't care. He'd do anything - dirty, dangerous, or not - to win. Rose was dazed as Laney mounted her for a pin, hooking her leg. One, two...but three never came. Sophie wasn't about to let Laney win the match off an illegal move. She rushed over and kicked Laney in the head, knocking him off Rose. The ref immediately intervened, forcing her back to her corner, but Laney, his head spinning from the kick, gave up on the pin and tagged in Myers. Myers tried pinning Rose, but she had recovered enough to kick out. Then he tried a Boston Crab, going for a submission. At 185 however, he didn't quite have the body mass to inflict the amount of pain necessary to make a wrestler of Rose's caliber submit. After Laney had recovered from Sophie's kick he saw that his partner was unable to force Rose's submission. He yelled, "Finish her NOW or tag me in!!" Rose was about to muscle out of the hold and Myers, having felt her strength, didn't really want to tangle with her. He quickly tagged "Iron Mike," but Rose was almost as quick, and tagged in Sophie, who was completely fresh. This was the moment everyone had waited for. A confrontation had been building between Sophie and the male bodybuilding champ since his insulting behavior the night before. Their rivalry, and the tournament, would now be settled on the mat. "Iron Mike" again flaunted his greek- god-like body for the crowd, flexing his muscles. His voluptuous female opponent did the same, and the spectators realized, with some surprise, that in raw musculature they were about equal. Sophie extended her arms in challenge and the two gladiators locked up in a test of brute strength. Laney was suprised at the musclewoman's power; he had to use everything he had to keep from losing ground. For several minutes they grunted in exertion and soon their bodies were covered with a gleaming sheen of sweat. "Iron Mike" was getting frustrated. Sophie wanted to trick him into a mistake. One mistake would be enough. "C'mon, Mikey, you fight like a girl!! Show me whatcha got!!," she taunted as her thick arms rippled in exertion against his. Laney roared in anger, released his grip on Sophie's arms, and bent down to grab her legs. But Sophie anticipated him. Backstepping away from his grab, she caught him in a headlock, and immediately began bulldogging him around the ring. Again the crowd roared!! The mature amazon was punishing the big male, her massive muscles bulging and shining in the ring lights. Laney was stunned. Not a skilled technical wrestler, Mike Laney couldn't figure out a way to escape the agressive stronglady's hold except by muscling out of it. But dimly, he realized that she was simply too strong for him. After dragging the struggling man around the ring, Sophie picked him up and bodyslammed him twice, which weakened him enough for a backbreaker. Jerking him up by his hair, the brawny woman stretched him across her massive shoulders and poured on the pressure. Laney was screaming in pain and fear. He had never met any opponent as powerful and fierce as this buxom old woman with her gold bikini and huge muscles. "How's the air up there Mikey?" Sophie laughed. Dumping him on the mat, the scantily clad woman jumped on his back and scissored him around the waist, adding a punishing full nelson. Laney felt the air being squeezed from his lungs by Sophie's massive thighs and realized he was on the verge of losing to a woman. He tried desperately to crawl forward to the ropes, but Sophie's heavy weight and her punishing holds flattened him out on the canvas. He tried to buck off the brawny woman, but she just laughed. "Ready to submit honey?" she cooed. "Fat chance you cow!!" Sophie squeezed even harder. "You know, Mikey, I was just going to pin you, but you were so rude to Rose I'm going to make you submit." "Never bitch!!" Both wrestlers bodies were slippery with sweat; Sophie felt the masculine shape of her struggling opponent and enjoyed a secret, sensual turn-on in front of the entire audience. Finally, Sophie decided to finish off the bodybuilder. Forcing him into a sitting position, with her massive legs still coiled about his waist from the rear, she released the full nelson, and leaned back on her arms for a moment, testing to see if she could squeeze him into surrender with her legs alone. Laney groaned and gasped, but refused to submit. Sophie leaned all the way back to lie on the mat, pulling the trapped male wrestler on top of her. Then, in an incredible display of power, she raised her hips and butt into the air about four feet, raising Laney as well, and rotating forward, crashed them to the mat with tremendous force. For the trapped man, it was a four foot drop onto his rear end, excruciatingly painful. "Iron Mike" screamed in agony. The audience began chanting, "Finish him; finish him!" Once, twice, three more times, the awesome woman smashed the big man to the mat. Each time his screams filled the auditorium. Laney knew he was beaten; the muscular woman had completely outwrestled and overpowered him in front of the crowd; he had nothing left. "Okay, okay, I quit. Stop," he said. "I can't hear you Mikey." Sophie lifted him up and smashed him down again. "OKAY, I quit!!" "Louder, Mikey; you have to say the magic words!!" Sophie instructed. Laney was barely conscious, but totally desperate; he no longer cared about anything except for this terrible woman to let him go. "PLEASE STOP!! I SUBMIT!! I SUBMIT!!" he screamed. Sophie released her grip, and "Iron Mike" slumped whimpering to the mat, a total ruin. Sophie had crushed his body and his ego. Used to parading his magnificent physique on a stage to the cheers of hundreds, he had been totally dominated and humilated by this powerful, sensual woman. But Sophie had one last "hold" to apply on the once arrogant man, to complete his lesson in the power of women. Rolling him onto his back, she mounted his chest as he looked up in surprise and fear. "OK, Mikey, you have one little favor to do me before I let you go." She started inching forward towards his head. Laney realized what she was doing and pleaded weakly, "No, no, please," but to no avail. Sophie made her way up onto his face and settled there, gyrating her hips to the cheers of the aroused and appreciative crowd. She kept at it for a few minutes, occasionally grunting lowly in time with her hips. Finally she got up, saying, "Thanks, hon. You're much better at this than you are at wrestling." She left the beaten male bodybuilder sprawled on the mat, and went over to greet her partner. They both raised their arms in victory as the champions of the tournament. The Brooklyn Girls strutted around the ring, happily flexing and posing for the audience. Both Rose and Sophie were extremely horny from all the close contact with muscular male bodies. As the guests of honor at the post-tournament reception later that night, they would be surrounded by handsome, available men, and Sophie asked Rose if she had anyone in mind. "That first guy I pinned was cute. I could tell he was the submissive type. How 'bout you?" Sophie smiled and licked her lips, "Mikey doesn't know it yet, but his wrestling lesson isn't over." .
