From left to right, Pippa and She-RaVice Style wasn't kidding when they said their models were real wrestling girls. They're hot, huh? They mostly make their living wrestling men, which might be even hotter? Anyway, knowing more was important, so we pinned them down for a quick chat.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 and I always loved it. And at school I used to jump on all the big pile-ons with the boys, everyone would just jump on each other and start fighting. Wrestling is a lot of fun, in fact I have to try not to laugh too much, because 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.What's your favorite position?
It changes. In the beginning it was the "School Girl," that's when you're sitting on your opponents chest and holding them down. Now I prefer the "Sleeper," which is overall body submission.How did you decide on wrestling?
Pippa the Rippa: I answered an ad on the 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. It reminds me of when I was younger and would 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.TrixieWhere's the attraction in wrestling?
Trixie: Well, 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 used to 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 put him in a "School Girl" pin. When I stood up I noticed I'd leaked period all over his chest, leaving a nice, bloody, fanny shaped stain on his t-shirt.Poison Ivy - rightHow did you decide to start 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 ever 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 love to wrestle strong, athletic women.What is your favorite part of the job?
I suppose the thrill of getting to kick the shit out of a guy. The fact that 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 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.TEXT: KRISTINA MCCORMICK PHOTOS: GAVIN WATSON
