Hungary Vs Czech Republic, DWW-HWW Legend Viktoria Vs Rising Star Andy, Reality Check
September 26, 2023,
Do we need to rub our eyes again?
About what we just witnessed.
But find it hard to believe.
Upstart and formidable Andy vs DWW and HWW legend Viktoria.
Andy completely dominated Viktoria, in the Hungary 4K series but Viktoria looked very ill and listless. Literally. So, it was impossible to review that match. Not to take anything away from Andy but something seemed really off about Viktoria, who wrestled defenseless.
So, to make sure our eyes were not playing tricks on us, we reviewed another match between Andy vs Viktoria, where Viktoria appears to be functioning well.
The Battle Ring 2.0 series.
Now, we say that with a grain of salt. Over the years we have seen Viktoria go at half speed, somewhat full speed, scripted speed, fantasy speed and fully competitive speed. We know that, since her DWW days, Viktoria is an exceptional wrestler.
When she wants to be.
More than any female submission wrestler we have ever reviewed, Viktoria’s wrestling is like a box of chocolates.
Sweet as it may taste, half the time you don’t know what the heck you’re going to get.
So, when we turned on the video, Viktoria appears to be herself. No, not the one that gave a match away to Axa Jay, years ago at TC Wrestling. The one that has the ability to defeat most of the female submission wrestlers, new or experienced, on the competitive landscape.
Okay, let’s see how Andy does here.
It is time for a correction.
It is time for a reality check.
ANDY VS VIKTORIA – BATTLE RING 2.0
Time to begin.
They both begin on their knees.
Andy is the aggressor and leaps for Viktoria’s head and neck area, taking her backwards. Viktoria goes with the flow, rolls backwards then rolls on top of Andy. They briefly struggle and both separate from the hold.
They engage again and both head hunt.
Viktoria, as she often does, attains success and takes Andy down to the mats and most important, falls on top of her. The DWW legend keeps Andy locked in the headlock. As she circles, Andy circles with her, grabbing Vitoria’s wrist to prevent a full lock. What the beautiful young Czech girl is forgetting is to leg lock Viktoria, at least one of her legs, to prevent a full mount.
Viktoria twirls and flattens herself out on Andy in a mount with the potential for a smother. She then sits up, moves forward, in a potential pinning position. Andy is determined but in a position of extreme weakness. It will be hard to go for a straight pin on Andy, as she is very strong and will continue to try and kick out of it.
Viktoria is not an aggressive and violent wrestler. Never has been. Like Judo, she will go with your flow. Here she uses Andy’s aggression to simply role to her side, with the flow, and slide Andy into a powerful side body scissor and progressively squeezes. Andy groans in pain and taps out.
Now, that is the Viktoria we are used to seeing.
1-0 for the DWW legend (2:45).
Back to the knees.
Andy is ready to be the aggressor. She lunges at Viktoria’s neck and tumbles on top of the Hungarian beauty. Once again, Viktoria is reacting to what Andy does. Going with her aggression, so to speak. Andy has Viktoria bent over in the frontal position and Viktoria gently pulls Andy over and seizes her with a tight headlock. Most important, as before, she gently falls on top of Andy.
Now to secure the hold.
Viktoria grab’s Andy’s left arm, slides it between her legs and squeezes that tight headlock.
Andy taps out.
2-0 for Viktoria (3:30).
The very determined Andy, is not one to go quietly into the night. We’re interested to see if she changes anything up to counter what Viktoria is doing. The Czech maiden begins by trying to pull Viktoria’s head downward, with limited success. The HWW leader spins around her as Andy tries to attack her from the back.
Viktoria goes with the flow.
Soon. she maneuvers herself on top of Andy and softly captures a headlock.
From above.
Andy is trying to wiggle out of it and Viktoria simply slides around with her, headlock in tow, from the top position. She slowly mounts Andy in a frontal mode and has a potential smother and lower body scissor.
Let’s see where this goes.
They slowly struggle for some time before Viktoria smoothly slides Andy into a right side body scissor. Andy is breathing in muted tones. Trapped, Andy taps out.
3-0 for the DWW Alum (7:09).
Andy tries to be aggressive but plays right into Viktoria’s hands. The Hungarian beauty slides her into another side body scissor then maneuvers herself on top of a stretched out Andy. She sits up and stretches Andy’s arms outwards and begins a pin count. Sort of. She smiles, begins to count but easily lets Andy get her shoulder up. Utilizing wrist locks, Viktoria sits on top of Andy, leans forward and begins to apply a smoother. The combination of the two holds is overwhelming and Andy taps out.
4-0 for Viktoria (9:05).
Time to start again.
Andy is the aggressor and comes at Viktoria from the top. So much so, for a moment, she rides the Hungarian princess. She then comes from behind and scissors Viktoria. Our legend is in a little bit of trouble as we see veins protruding in her head from the compaction. Andy has her locked up, so Viktoria does what any savvy veteran would do.
She picks the lock.
Viktoria parts Andy’s ankles and she escapes. Brilliant move.
Andy is relentless as she traps Viktoria, from behind, in another form of scissors but this time, not as lethal a position. Viktoria, as usual, is going with Andy’s flow and with her legs, scissors Andy’s right leg to prevent a full scissor.
The struggle continues.
From behind the back, Andy keeps Viktoria locked in a Full Nelson. Very hard to pick that lock.
But she does.
Viktoria is out of the Full Nelson.
Andy still has her trapped, from behind, as Viktoria responds by locking Andy’s legs with her ankles to prevent Andy from cranking on that scissor. Soon Viktoria is out of the hold, but still has given up her back to Andy. Everything that the young Czech princess tries, Viktoria patiently has an answer for it.
At some point, she allows Andy to be the aggressor until she traps her in a headlock, from the top.
We see another Viktoria submission coming, since the DWW legend has submitted her this way before, during the match, but as Viktoria closes in for a submission from the top, time runs out.
Final score, Viktoria 4-0.
At FCI, we purchase an extensive amount of videos, just for situations like this.
In that other video where Viktoria is listless and completely dominated by Andy, embarrassingly so, we felt something was not in order. Andy is good. Viktoria even compliments her after the match.
But she is not that good.
At least not yet.
We have never seen Viktoria that bad.
Andy looked healthy today and so did Viktoria, in her very low key and go with the flow manner.
When you know what you are doing, in good health, while being very experienced, as Viktoria is, in our experience and opinion, this match is a more accurate reflection on the Andy vs Victoria matchup.
This appears to be more of the reality this matchup produces.
Well done and applause to both beautiful girls.
