While these two beautiful women wrestlers do not strike fear in the hearts of elite female submission wrestlers, they do ignite excitement and passion in the hearts of their fans who love watching them compete.
Like us.
Probably you too, if you are reading this.
The setting for this mid-level showdown will take place at Antscha elite wrestling studio, where the best come to compete.
Who will win?
Given that Lexi wrestles with and against the stars at Ireland’s Max Academy, we would have to give her the nod.
Samantha wrestles with and against the many stars at Italian Female Wrestling Club, and here at Antscha’s studios as well, with exciting but moderate results.
This is why you play the games.
Time to play.
SAMANTHA VS LEXI MAX
The two stars come down to their knees.
After the rules are explained, they launch toward one another. There is some temporary head struggle but soon Lexi gets the best of it and takes Samantha down. In the elongated position, Lexi begins to smother out the shapely light brunette beauty. Her positioning is great and Samantha is kicking her beautiful legs in an attempt to escape.
She doesn’t.
She taps out.
Lexi is off to a good start and leads 1-0 (1:05).
Time to begin.
Samantha is the aggressor with a left armed headlock. She takes Lexi down but the beautiful slender girl cannot hold it. Lexi breaks the hold and is back on top. Samantha struggles underneath but as the lyrics go, it’s the same old song. Lexi smothers her out again in quick time.
2-0 for Lexi (2:00).
Well, as another expression goes, it is getting late, early.
Samantha needs to change up the dynamics and interject something new. Have a plan B. Do something to stop finding herself being smothered by Lexi.
Antscha tries to encourage Samantha by admonishing her that she just warmed up.
Okaaaaaaaaaaaay. If you say so. The proof has to be in the pudding. Can Samantha turn things around?
She gets off to a good start by clasping Lexi behind the neck, pulling her downward and pushing her into the corner of the mat. Very good. Now Samantha has to hold on to the most basic move in wrestling, the headlock and she has applied a very good one. As Lexi squirms and circles, Samantha, from the top, imitates her.
This struggle goes on for quite some time with encouragement from the audience. Lexi continues to try and kick her way out but Samantha is wisely bull dogging her. It pays off.
Lexi finally taps out. Samantha is back in business.
2-1 for Lexi (3:57).
Time to engage.
You would think that Samantha would go back to what worked, clasp Lexi behind the neck, but she doesn’t and curiously makes the decision to fight from the floor.
Bad idea.
Samantha tries the floor to scissor approach and, expectedly, a veteran like Lexi maneuvers to the top and, once again, begins to take control of the match. She muscles Samantha into a side head scissor as Samantha has a new struggle. Lexi tries to tighten the hold as Samantha manages to slip her left arm in between Lexi’s legs and the Irish star tries to remove it.
The struggle continues.
Lexi continues to apply the pressure and one arm is just not enough to fend her strong legs off. Lexi squeezes harder and Samantha taps out. Her misguided strategy backfires. She is an underdog. As an underdog, once you find a pathway that works, you should do it over and over again until Lexi stops it.
Oh, well.
Lexi expands her lead to 3-1 (5:19).
As they begin again, Samantha goes back to what previously worked. She launches at Lexi and locks her into a left arm headlock and takes her down. She slowly maneuvers her into the corner again. Why didn’t she do this the last round? More important, will this get her back into the match?
Give the slender shapely beauty an “A” for trying. Samantha tightens the grip as Lexi squirms around. The Irish star begins to do something alternative by using the wall to launch off of, with her legs. She does it once. She does it twice. Her kick out works and now she rolls on top of Samantha.
The audience applauds.
From the top, Lexi finally breaks the one arm headlock.
Now, she is in control.
She lifts Samantha’s head off of the mats and applies a fierce headlock. Samantha groans loudly in pain but refuses to give up.
To fend Lexi off, with her back on the floor, Samantha tries the ill-fated floor to body scissor attempt which Lexi is easily swatting away.
Samantha now tries something brilliant.
She leaps up and traps Lexi in another left arm headlock. The Italian Princess squeezes hard and locks in. Lexi is finding it impossible to escape so she has no choice except to tap out.
Lexi is still in the lead at 3-2 (7:05).
Great job Samantha. It does raise a question that should be raised with female submission wrestling underdogs at the mid-level.
By the way, after years of experience, they are at the mid-level for a reason.
Will Samantha learn from the past and go with the one arm headlock right out of the gate, since it has twice submitted Lexi in this match, or will she get cute and try something new and most likely ineffective? What do you think?
Samantha tries the one armed headlock.
It is working, as she takes Lexi down to the mats. The problem is that she can’t keep her there. Lexi muscles her way up from the mats and breaks Samantha’s one armed headlock.
Now, she takes control.
Again.
Lexi uses a right arm headlock to subdue Samantha. Curiously she does it from below. This is allowing Samantha to survive the attack. Lexi should have captured her from above. Let’s see how this plays out.
Samantha is indeed in trouble. Lexi cranks on that headlock. The Italian princess is under too much duress and taps out.
4-2 for Lexi (8:19).
They pause for a minute and Antscha asks Samantha if she feels that she can still win? Interestingly Samantha feels that she still can. Nice to have spirit. Let’s see if the skills match it.
Lexi quickly traps Samantha in a right arm headlock and twirls her around at the ground level. Lexi then slides the hold into an elongated smother. Samantha can’t seem to escape so this one is an easy submission for Lexi. So much for a comeback.
5-2 for Lexi (9:35).
The match is decided. That is a given. Let’s see if Samantha can finish strong.
Lexi is the aggressor and goes with what works. Why re-invent the wheel. She takes Samantha down with a right arm headlock. The shapely mid-level wrestler struggles underneath. Lexi quickly straddles her, attempting another frontal smother which will be curtains. Samantha sees that coming and raises both legs to undercut Lexi and pull her off. Good move.
It works.
Lexi is quick to gain control. She surges to a cross body pin above Samantha’s torso and then elongates it into another potential smother. Samantha refuses to be counted out.
Wonders never cease.
Great battle between mid-level wrestlers. Lexi Kept doing what works to perfection. That is the name of the winning game.
No need to re-invent the wheel.
