A Session with Sheila Burgess
By TomNine



This is a review of a mixed wrestling session with Sheila Burgess.  It
took place in a Washington DC area hotel on 26 October 1998.

Sheila is a strikingly attractive Canadian bodybuilder, 5'6" and about
160 lbs when we met.  She has a homepage with some info:

She also has a gallery on Diana the Valkyrie's site and a page on Mass
Muscle's site.  Her e-mail address is hardgirl@hotmail.com

Sheila has a great personality and we've been chatroom friends for some
months.  She was curious about the idea of doing sessions and I was
certainly curious about meeting her!  She was very tentative about the
idea of wrestling, mostly because she has no training, but was willing
to give it a try.  She never exaggerated her skills but she is a strong
and enthusiastic lady, which counts for a lot.   She had wrestled one
other fellow before me and had had a few muscle worship and lift & carry
sessions as well.  I wasn't expecting to be overwhelmed by her wrestling
skills, and even though she was very strong I suspected she was a little
too small to be able to control my 225 lbs.  But I did expect to have
lots of fun, and I did.

I was planning to attend the Women's Strength Extravaganza in NJ along
with some other guys I met through Diana's site and Sheila showed an
interest in attending as well.  I was so eager to meet her that I
pre-paid her session fee to help cover her plane fare, along with a
little extra "Valkyrie appreciation fund" payment.  Other chat regulars
pushed the idea of helping Sheila pay for her ticket and Diana came up
with some money too to adorn her table at WSE.

I don't want to go too much into the events of WSE, but I spent plenty
of time with Sheila.  I believe that our chatroom relationship blossomed
into a real friendship.  She was very busy there and we didn't have our
session until after WSE.  Sheila's next stop was in Maryland for a photo
shoot in Rockville and also to visit her sister in the area.  I live
nearby and could wait to have our session there.  Sheila was even kind
enough to keep me company on the ride down from Hackensack.

We got in very late on Sunday night and arranged to meet on Monday
evening.  The time I had already spent with Sheila was so great that I
would have had a return on my investment even if the sesson never
occurred, but she was interested in learning a little about wrestling.
There was nothing she could do to disappoint me at that point.

Sheila was exhuasted and sore from the previous few days, but she is a
fierce competitior and very eager to please.  First, I tried to explain
what I like in a session, a little posing, some lifts, armwrestling, and
mostly wrestling.  We tried to define "semi-competitive" and she told me
a little about her previous wrestling session.  I also like to spend
time in a session just chatting and getting to know the wrestler, but in
this case there was no need.  It might have been awkward having a
session with Sheila now that I knew her as a friend, but she was so open
and eager to wrestle that it could not have been a nicer experience.

(Sheila told me she could use a few more sessions while she was in town
and I helped to publicize her visit.  Unfortunately, she was so tired
that she had to cancel many appointments, including a second meeting
with me.  She goes all out against every challenge and the weekend's
photo shoots, lifts, posing, lack of sleep, poor diet, etc., had to
impact her performance eventually.)

Sheila was, as usual, drop-dead sexy in a great posing suit, a little
skimpier than would be allowed in a competition.  She said she was
comfortable wrestling like that, and that the suit was glued down to
avoid slippage.  Her muscles still had nice mass and she was in a
pleasant off-season shape, maybe a bit less defined than when I first
saw her a few days before.  It had been a hard weekend for her.  Her
breast implants are a very nice size and looked natural enough.  Her
legs were silky smooth, not a sign of stubble on her body.

Sheila was eager to try many holds but she couldn't visualize how to
get me into them.  Her arms were very tender (when we took a water break
she had to ask me to pour from the gallon jug) but she worked a headlock
aggressively.  At first she held me in a way that put pressure on my
windpipe, which of course forced me to submit.  I showed her how to work
it so I wasn't being choked and she could hold me tight enough so I
couldn't escape but not really enough to make me submit.

She tried to work a body scissor and it felt great but again there was
no danger of forcing me to submit.  She said her legs weren't quite long
enough, but I suspect it was just a matter of technique.  Her legs were
certainly powerful enough; during the only lifts of the session she did
a set of ten deep squats with me sitting on her shoulders!  If she
ever learns how to apply this strength in a wrestlng hold she will be
devastating!

I would call our session that day "light wrestling" and I never really
got that satisfying feeling of being overwhelmed by this beautiful and
powerful lady.  She could make me submit to head scissors but she
wouldn't be able to get me in one if I really wanted to avoid it.  She
seemed to enjoy sitting on top of me (which I liked too!) but even when
her knees were pinning my shoulders down I got the feeling that I could
buck her off at any time.  

She was smiling all through the session and laughing during much of it.
She later pointed out that the laughter drained some of her energy and
made it hard for her to wrestle.  I could usually stand up while she had
me in a hold, at one point lifting her up so she was sitting on my
shoulders while she worked a neck scissor.

She was very playful with sensual holds, happy to try breast smothers
and a little surprised to find that this is a common technique in
session wrestling.  Her arms weren't up to normal strength and she
really couldn't use the smother effectively if I resisted, but who would
want to escape from that hold!  She casually indicated that she might
prefer to wrestle topless, at least with guys like me who she knows and
trusts.  It would certainly be a distraction!

Sheila's first experience with armwrestling ended with her breaking
another girl's arm!  Many guys wanted to armwrestle with her at WSE but
her technique was not refined and I think most of the guys beat her.
She blamed the armwrestling for causing pain in her arms and by the
time my session with her came around she could armwrestle no more, which
was understandable.  Hey, Nicole Bass didn't want to armwrestle with me
either! 

I hope I was able to show Sheila a little bit about what a wrestling
session is like.  I would highly recommend her for a fun non-competitive
session, and perhaps if she isn't suffering from any injuries she could
be very challenging for a smaller unskilled guy.  She indicated that she
hoped to hone her wrestling skills and with some work she could be a
great asset to the wrestling family.  I hope she sticks with it and I
look forward to meeting her again, either as a friend or in a session.
