Female Submission Wrestling, The Competition Is Getting Fierce

November 22, 2022,
No matter the pathway, industry or community you live in, you have to get used to it.
Competition.
We are all in it. Trapped in it. Might as well try and embrace it.
Have you tried to buy a property recently in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver or New York?
Very expensive.
There’s a reason for that. Some would consider them wonderful places to live. More and more people with money are moving there.
Have you seen the website worldometers.info?
It can be a little scary. It chronicles the population of the world.
And keeps updating. By the second.
Today, 366,000 people were born. Just today alone. For the year, 114,533,000.
Think about it, in one year 114 million people just entered the planet. To eventually compete for limited resources. The resources are not growing at the same pace.
At their website they educate, “A tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history until around 1800 for world population to reach one billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years (1930), the third billion in 30 years (1960), the fourth billion in 15 years (1974), and the fifth billion in only 13 years (1987).”
At some point, whether we like it or not, won’t we have to accept that we live in a competitive world?
Fully competitive female submission wrestling is a great sport. Incredibly exciting.
Guess what?
Incredibly competitive too.
Increasingly so.
The intriguing aspect to this is that, there was a time, when we covered a female submission wrestling event and a beautiful new girl was introduced, she truly was new.
Truly.
Now, if a new girl wants to wrestle at an event she will find it hard to wrestle someone at her level because many of the new girls transitioning into our industry are from the MMA world and already have extensive grappling and Jiu-Jitsu training.
A case in point is Kaos who faced off against Kassidy and Sativa, with great results and Kim, who has trained in Kenpo and grapples with Antscha’s group.
They are indeed new to our industry but not new to wrestling.
That is a growing trend.
This is why, in part, we have seen tremendous improvement in the wrestling of Ireland’s Viper Max and Hungary’s Dolly. To stay competitive, they have to keep improving. Both Dolly and Viper’s matches against the DWW Alum and super star Zsuzsa are proof of that.
Our industry is not alone. In college football, it is an arms race. Look at the base annual salary for some of the top coaches.
According to profootballnetwork.com, in the millions in terms of a base per year salary, Dabo Swinney at Clemson 10.5, Nick Saban at Alabama 10.3, Kirby Smart at Georgia 10.2, Lincoln Riley at USC 10 mil, Brian Kelly at LSU 9.5, Mel Tucker of Michigan State 9.5, and Ryan Day Ohio State 9.5.
With incentives, all of the above leaders should surge way above their annual base.
Back in September of 2021 the team at saturdaytradition.com reported, “Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher’s landmark extension was officially approved on Wednesday afternoon.
Fisher will now make slightly more than $9 million per season, making him the country’s second-highest paid college football coach behind only Nick Saban.”
We bring up Coach Fisher because in his 5th season, he has failed to produce the expected results but has such strong guarantees that it is almost impossible to fire him.
It is an arms race and we don’t see that financial tidal wave receding anytime soon.
And to think, in our industry, the girls that introduced us to the future were DWW’s BSA fighters, back in the early 2000’s, who appeared to be extremely violent but now they would struggle in the current even more violent professional women’s MMA industry.
Here is what FCI Magazine printed back in 2018, “In our competitive female submission wrestling industry we were first introduced to this interesting community through the Black Sea Amazons (BSA) who fiercely fought for DWW.
Our impression of that 1990s DWW time period was that compared to the rest of the female submission wrestling industry, the DWW Girls were the toughest. But watching the BSA girls battle it out in the ring as they kicked, punched and wrestled one another, they were frightening.
We even wondered why there was a need for that type of action in the DWW venue since that particular product, compared to the rest, appeared to be so bloody and violent.
Little did we know that those BSA girls were way ahead of their time and were the forerunners to the global female MMA craze that continues to rise in popularity in our submission world, the lady pro world and after the freestyle girls graduate from their respective universities, the most popular option to compete professionally is in the MMA industry.”
Intriguing.
If you are a female seeking to enter into our industry and compete, let’s walk over to the book store and look at a pretty comprehensive book that, in terms of your training, point you in the right direction.
