AM I WRONG?
A number of fans in Europe have mentioned the Tough Girl Contests that took place a few years back in the States.
Am I wrong in believing they no longer happen due to the political correct way we are all told to live our lives.
MYSTERY?
From Festelle Video but where did it start life?But a good one for lovers of hot sweaty girls.
In brief, ... maybe but probably for other "natural" reasons ...
ReplyDeleteThese toughman/woman contests reached their zenith yestermillenium but still continue in the U.S. on a limited (state/regional) basis here and there, every so often. Apparently it isn't so much PC but a lack of ongoing, national interest. As far as I can tell, these events started before or just as cable/satellite TV were beginning to have broader audiences for in-home viewing (let alone the advent of the 'Net). So you can tell they were done going back a "long" time ago.
I never saw any of them live or on re-run because they were so long ago and I was much too young back then to even think about them. So all I can say is they appeared to recruit people with basically no formal boxing/competitive skills although, yes, there were decent rules for safety and what was allowed (otherwise each state would have banned them for obvious reasons).
So apparently in time they set up a women's division.
It seems if you were a fan of just amateur/untrained boxing to see who in the hell could outlast who then this was your show; otherwise, I can't see what in the hell they were good for.
