Ziggy and Christine Marshall TomNine@webtv.net A June 1999 encounter This is an account of a private mixed wrestling session that took place on 22 June 1999. It was something different for me as two women were involved, Ziggy and Christine Marshall. It took place in a suburb of Washington, DC. I didn't finish this review until a few weeks after the meeting, so it may be even less detailed than usual. First, a little about me. I'm 40, 5'10.5", 232 lbs on the day of the session. I'm not particularly athletic but not totally out of shape either. I've fantasized about strong women all my life and started going to sessions in 1997. I enjoy semi-competitive wrestling, fairly hard but playful. My desire is to be overwhelmed by an attractive woman in spite of my resistance. The Set Up I had a session with Christine in the spring of '98 and I hoped to see her again some day. I'd never met Ziggy before but had seen some of her video work. I was certainly impressed by her performances but had to wonder is this pretty, fit woman could really kick ass the way she seemed to. I got an e-mail from Christine a few weeks before her visit but I didn't really decide on the session until a few days before it happened. They were working with Mark Devereau, a local guy with about 40 years of involvement in the wrestling scene. The ladies would be doing sessions out of his home. I finally called him the day before they arrived to book a session. There was some confusion about when they would both get into town, Ziggy driving down from New Jersey and Chris flying from Florida into Dulles. There were also some questions about what a joint session with both ladies would involve, but everybody seemed flexible to see what would happen. I made the appointment at the earliest time Mark mentioned, 4:00 pm, on the first day of their visit. Mark also gave me excellent directions to his home in a quiet suburban neighborhood. I arrived at about 3:45. Ziggy was there but Mark was gone, off to pick up Christine. Ziggy had just arrived and was busy getting settled in as I waited. Ziggy is a very attractive, fit, girl-next-door type. When we had a chance to chat she was totally candid in answering my questions and was very pleasant to talk to. She told me she'd been wrestling for 12 years, a real veteran! She wore a robe over her wrestling outfit, which I would see soon enough. Mark had laid out a good wrestling mat on the living room floor, there was plenty of room for whatever kind of session anyone would want. Chris and Mark finally arrived a little after 4:00 and there was some chit-chat. I overheard that Christine had another match scheduled for 5:30 so I was a little concerned about getting my full hour. Chris still needed to settle in, make some phone calls, etc., so we decided that I would wrestle Ziggy first then finish up the session with Chris when she was ready. Round 1: Ziggy I had already stripped down to gym shorts and a tee shirt. Ziggy disrobed and was wearing a very nice black bikini/lingerie thing. She stretched for a few minutes as I watched. Ziggy doesn't have her own site but she has plenty of pics scattered around the net. Check out http://foxymuscle.com/ssshtml/SheStrongZiggy.html for some great pics, plus the Iron Belles, Jungle Gym and Mass Muscle sites. Ziggy currently lives in New Jersey and she must be among the best wrestling values in the NYC area. She is relocating to Florida in August. Ziggy is 5'4" and 140 lbs, a "bodybuilder" in that there is no doubt that she has sculpted her body with weights and diet but she's not one of the big girls at all. More of a fitness competitor look, without the implants. A very attractive package. We hadn't discussed any terms of how the session would go, so I was willing to go along with whatever she had in mind. It turned out to be more competitive than I'm used to and Ziggy employed lots of technical holds I don't know the names for. I would soon learn that her video performances were no flukes! Since we had plenty of room, each fall started with us on our feet. There are some basic mechanical problems with forcing a guy my size down without really hurting either of us, so I was curious about how Ziggy would handle it. Her usual response was to wait until I made some move that put me off balance, then she'd slip behind me (fast!) and start working on controlling me while tripping me up. I'm probably "stronger" than Ziggy, but she was tenacious and moved efficiently. Like a boa constrictor, she would patiently work at improving her grasp on me as I struggled. If I ever escaped from a hold, I usually found myself instantly in a worse situation. A few times I was totally surprised by head scissors that seemed to come from nowhere! At least once my ears were painfully folded down as she worked the hold. I would be reminded of this every time I answered the phone for the next few days, my ears still tender to the touch. Ziggy's style is closer to what you'd see in the Olympics than what you'd get in a typical session, She was very serious about her work and we were both going at it hard. In the typical fall, it wouldn't take long before she had me pretty much under control. Some head scissors but surprisingly little other work with her legs, mostly just using them for leverage. After the first few encounters with her scissors I became very defensive and struggled mostly just to avoid them. At one point she aggressively tried to pull me by the hair into a scissors, but by then my sweat made my short hair too slippery. Ziggy was working hard to beat me, this was no casual ass kicking like I've received from a few of the ladies. A few times she got to rest for a minute while sitting on me, but for the most part she chose to tie me up with a series of technical holds. A few of my submissions were due to pain but usually I just gave up after struggling with holds I knew I couldn't escape. I never came close to controlling Ziggy for a moment, the best I could do was keep her from locking me up for a couple of minutes at a time. By the time Christine said she was ready for me I'd been convincingly beaten up by Ziggy. My time with Ziggy was just wrestling, no lifts or armwrestling, and this slender woman had overwhelmed as effectively as any of the big muscle girls ever have. I would recommend her highly for anyone interested in a more competitive session. Round 2: Christine An account of my 1998 meeting with Christine can be found at http://www.thevalkyrie.com/stories/tomnine/index.htm Christine has her official site at http://www.britbod.com and she also has many pics scattered around the web. She's 5'3" and I hesitate to estimate her weight on the day I saw her. She was much bigger than when I last saw her, off-season bulky and very thick. I didn't bring my tape measure but I wish I did! She wore simple workout clothes, shorts and a top. Her wrestling style was in sharp contrast to Ziggy's, nothing subtle here. Her first move was to put an arm around my neck and flip me roughly onto the mat. She also applied a frighteningly painful grapevine, something most of the shorter girls can't do at all. There was also a particularly powerful bearhug, painful enough to show me her strength if not to earn a submission. In my last session with her I noted a unique hold of hers where she gently scissored my genitals. On our second meeting she used this hold three times, perhaps because she was still tired from her flight and found it an easy way to get a submission from me. I didn't mention armwrestling to her or ask for lifts, though she had really impressed me with these on our previous meeting. At one point I thought I could gain an advantage by jumping on her back while she was starting to get up from the mat after a fall, but she just stood up in this awkward position and dumped me to the floor. This was more like standard semi-comp session wrestling, neither of us being overly aggressive. If I really worked harder I may have taken a fall or two, but in total Christine had little problem keeping me under contol. After the beating I took from Ziggy I was happy to spend a good part of my time with Christine just talking. She did seem tired and mentioned a problem with her shoulder, but you wouldn't know it during the time we were actually wrestling. At about 5:15 she said that was it. I would've liked more time, but I knew another guy was coming. One phone or another was ringing pretty much the whole time I was there, but whomever I was wrestling at the time never stopped to answer it. I got dressed and only realized as I was gathering my things that I hadn't paid. I gave the stack of twenties to Ziggy and said good bye to the ladies. I talked to Mark a few more minutes before leaving, and hopefully he will find some new girls to wrestle with some day. In all, it was a good afternoon and a terrific experience.
