What questions should I ask them? Hoping to get them to elaborate. It's Shannon from Shannon vs Jen, and Lori from Lori vs Theresa.

I also got some brief background info from both of them on these fights. Looking to get more.

I figure I might look back and say "I wish I asked her x". So I'm trying to avoid that while I still have their ears.

I know this quite an old thread now.
Like I said before, Lori was Mary's friend, if you still in contact with Lori you could ask her if she has any contact with Mary? Or when was the last time she seen her?

Thanks

I'd be curious to know if either had any other arranged fights after Crystal. Also, Corie was one of my favourites because she was sexy but also aggressive. I also like Maylay because she was a mature .curvy brawler.

Amazing, I posted the Shannon vs Jennifer fight on Reddit a while ago. Shannon found it and messaged me. I know it's her because she mentioned the same life details that she had previously mentioned. So it seems unreasonable to think it could be anyone other than her, in my opinion.

Shannon said:

We did get paid for the fight they offered more if we showed more skin, and neither of us wanted to do that. I'm so glad I was at least smart enough to say no to that back then. The winner got more, the reason I didn't try to land supper hard blows because you only got paid for contact time wich was like 7 plus minutes, the actual fight was like 20 minutes that's why we sound so out of breath. Neither of us had any training on fighting, not to say I hadn't been in a fair amount of fights. I am the oldest of 5 kids. It was somewhere around 1994 to 1995. I got paid $675. I'm not sure what Jennifer got paid. There was blood. They just didn't show it she had 2 black eyes, a busted lip, and bruises. I had scratches on my chest and a sore nose and 2 broken knuckles. She didn't break My nose, but got 2 really got hits into it. Whoever gave in 2 times lost. She gave in twice I never gave in. In case you were wondering, lol

If you want an update to where we are now I can tell you where I am lol, I don't know how this video got out and about after so much time , I am alittle embarrassed after reading the comments. I was young, angry, and not a professional fighter. Since then, I joined the Navy, I was a corpsman, met my current husband, we got married, and had my 2nd child, went to nursing school. I have been a nurse for over 20 years. Mostly in the emergency room. I am currently a director of an emergency room. Still married with 2 grown successful children. And very successful myself. The things we did when we were young, you live, and you learn lol. There's an update on my side. I have no idea what happened in Jennifer's life. Shannon

Can anyone think of any other questions I could ask Shannon?

Shannon's Reddit explanation seems 95% authentic, but a few things are "off", or at least "getting lost in the fog of memory".

<1> Even setting aside the length of the fight or the skill involved, what sets that fight apart is the unbridled animosity both women displayed towards each other.  There was clearly a bona fide love triangle or affair involved.  Why no mention of that?  What happened to the man they were fighting over?

<2> Shannon says neither woman had formal fight training, which is technically true if you mean licensed boxing or MMA.  Both both had clearly been in fights before.
> They knew to wear tight-fitting clothes.
> They knew to pack their hair in the tightest possible bun.
> They knew to get off the ground before getting pinned (unless the guard position is being assumed).
> They knew to not give the other woman your back.
> They knew to kick shins.
Both grew up fighting.

<3> Although both women were still young when the fight happened, neither seems "immature", nor the type who could be enticed to fight, or do anything else involuntarily, on video for $700.  (I know desperate people in need of money do desperate things--but they seem able-bodied, and there are hundreds of less painful ways to earn 7 large.)  Not saying this to be judgmental or harsh:  the explanation just seems "off".

Glad to hear at least one of them had a fulfilling life afterwards.  But still 'makes me go hmmmm'.

I'd ask them these questions:

What do your family members think of you doing catfights in your past ?
Would you want your daughters doing catfights?
How did the producers really treat you in the business ?
If you had to do it over again, would you still have done catfights ?
What kind of relationship do you have nowadays with any of your opponents ?

drtheglob, I found Shannon's reply to your query very interesting.  Like you, I agree her reply seems genuine, but I am curious.....how did she "find" her old fight on reddit?  I mean, from her reply to you, it seems she became a pretty successful woman.  Is she still interested in fighting, so she found the fight you posted?  Also, does her husband know she fought?  I also wonder if she is concerned that her family might "find" the fight video?

I've wondered that for a lot of the former Crystal fighters....does their current husband/boyfriend know about their fighting history?

I'm not requesting you ask her these questions, I guess I'm just being nosey.

Thanks

I'd have liked to have seen more of Taylor, I cant recall if she only fought Andi but did she ever work for any other video producers or just disappear into obscurity after her Crystal career ?

I also adore Taylor and, of course, would like to know more about her, although I don't think she won much. I only know her fight with Amber, where they fought almost on equal terms, and Amber felt bad at the end of the fight, and with Garnett, and two fights with Andy. There is also a Rayray fight, a double fight, but I can't find it.

Agree with CatScrap. There's no way in hell they want their granddaughters doing this.

Think it would be worse if their Grandson’s got access to it.. “Here’s Grandma back in the 90s topless, wearing stockings breaking another woman’s face open with her knees” LOL

Or worse. "Here's Grandma back in the 90s topless, wearing stockings getting her face broken by another woman with her knees"
