Vice Style

From left to right, Pippa and She-Ra

We weren't kidding when we said our models are real wrestling girls. They're hot, huh? They mostly make their living wrestling men, which might possibly sound even hotter? Anyways knowing more was important.

SHE-RA

Vice: How did you decide on wrestling?
She-Ra: I saw a sign for glitter wrestling at a festival and ended up taking on one of the girls there.

Why wrestling?
I used to play fight with my brother a bit and always loved it. And at school I always used to jump on all the big pile-ons with all the boys, everyone would be jumping on each other and fighting. Wrestling is a lot of fun, in fact I try not to laugh too much, as it’s deemed unprofessional! But I’m a naturally strong girl so it was an easy thing to take up.

What are the men you wrestle like?
There’s an uptight businessman stereotype, but there’s a massive variety of people who come here. For the majority of customers, fighting is a form of release.

So what’s your favorite position?
Oh it changes. In the beginning it was the ‘School Girl’, that’s when you’re basically sitting on their chest and holding them down. I now prefer the ‘Sleeper,’ which is overall body submission.

PIPPA THE RIPPA

Vice: How did you decide on wrestling?
Pippa the Rippa: Actually I answered an ad on listings website Gumtree. I thought it sounded like an interesting way to make some money. It’s not really work, everyone is rolling around enjoying themselves and it reminds me of when I was younger when I used to pin people down in play fights.

Is being a wrestler something you tell people about?
I do girl-on-girl wrestling too and when I’d only been wrestling a short while I ended up fighting someone who I already knew, but we’d both kept it from each other in our normal day-to-day lives.

TRIXIE (above)

Vice: Where’s the attraction in wrestling?
Trixie: It’s really fun and to be honest, it pays well. The men make it interesting, some are quite weedy men, who are into submission, others are high-powered executives and have a secret urge to be dominated, others just want to roll around and have a laugh.

Is your boyfriend into it?
He did really like it, but now I think he’s scared of me! I think he reckons I’ve become more cocky and a bit more of a bully. Being able to take people on and beat them definitely brings out your inner bitch. If you’re in a bikini with a guy you don’t know, you tend to feel vulnerable, so you have to get your inner cock on! It certainly brings it out of you.

Any downsides?
Well I have a pretty embarrassing story. I was once wrestling this really gawky guy in a crisp white t-shirt and I had put him in a ‘School Girl’ pin. Only to stand-up to see I’d leaked period all over his chest, leaving a nice bloody, fanny-shaped stain on his T-shirt!

Poison Ivy - right

POSION IVY

Vice: How did you decide on wrestling?
Poison Ivy: I was really good friends with some of the girls before I started. I was working in a shop and I thought, fuck it, why work in a shop for five pounds an hour, when I could be doing something a lot more fun.

It sounds incredibly competitive. Do the men you wrestle get pissed off?
No, but the majority of it is very competitive. A lot of the men I wrestle are sportsmen, professional swimmers or athletes who are always around the same sex and who would love to wrestle strong, athletic women.

What is your favorite part of the job?
When I started it was the thrill of getting to kick the shit out of a guy, the fact the men aren’t just rolling over and playing dead but actually challenging me to a real fight and I get to defeat them.

Are you like that in bedroom?
Before this I was much more dominating sexually, now I’m much more of a pussycat. I wrestle so often the novelty of dominating someone has worn off. Though I do find myself looking at men on the tube and wondering how quickly I could get them to submit, it always seems to be in the back of my head!
