As far as my experience goes, I remember Sports Review Wrestling's Apartment House Wrestling/Dave Moll stories and photos. Great shots but any of what Monty Python used to call the "Naughty Bits" with the ubiquitous "black bar", in the mid 70's. Still developed a made crush on Cynara, Oral Annie, and two other girls who's names I cannot recall right now. Those were the days when any Men's Magazines were kept behind the counter. I saw my first "Battling Girls" issue in 1983, which were many of the same pictures in Sport's Review sans the black bar. I discovered Cavilier magazine in 1983 and was a committed Cavilier customer until it ceased publishing fight stories. Became a fan of Venus Delight, Blake Mitchell, and Ebony Ayers. I tried Nugget its sister magazine, but they covered a number of different kinks so fight stories were few and far between. I bought a few fight tapes, when they retailed for $60.00 or more, but domestically I couldn't build up any sort of collection. I tried to get to the Hellfire Club in Manhattan to catch their fight nights but couldn't sync up the schedules. But thank God someone videoed sme of them! Then the Good Lord gave us the Internet and the whole world opened for me. I became obsessed with Venus and Blake from that point on.
Having written all of that, the earliest story/photo spread I can recall is one from the late 1960's/early 1970's I saw when visiting an older cousin's house. It was in a magazine, not like Life or Newsweek, more like Sport's Review, a glossy color cover and the lack and white text and pics on newsprint. I have never seen any evidence of it in any old back issues for sale on the Web. The premise was a casting call for Busty blondes and a bunch turned up. The director added a wrnkle when he told the group the "movie" required realistic wrestling and hand the girls strip off, match up and wrestle. Only two girls had any experience and they eventually they matched up. Can't recall the names of the magazine, or the "movie" to be cast, the director, or. the two blondes. All I can recall is that all the other girls stopped fights after a minute ot two, but these two girls kept wrestling and caught the director's attention. There were photos with the good parts black barred over. I remember only one part of the story when one girl was choking the other, or maybe they had equally chokes on each other;s neck, the "director" shouted out "Don't choke! Wrestle!" I didn't understand why but that started me on womens wrestling from that point on. If anyone read this so far and knows anything about this specific story and match I would love to hear from you. I really would like to see the material again for old times sake.
