With hundreds of millions of dollars as a bounty, many college football programs are changing conferences, renovating stadiums and leaving old rivalries behind.
An example of that is Texas A&M University, which was once part of the South Western Conference, then the Big 12 South and ultimately made a decision to move to the mighty South Eastern Conference (SEC).
The university let the world know that they were very serious, spending a whopping $450 million dollars in stadium renovations. The new Kyle Field seats 102,500, just about 50 more than Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium for the title of biggest in the SEC.
If you want to be the best……..you have to beat the best.
It’s interesting how time and our minds can play tricks on us.
As a fan of competitive women’s submission wrestling for over 20 years, I never thought of the Greek beauty Nadia as one of the best.
Until we reviewed her opponents and record.
Talk about to be the best, you have to beat the best.
To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.………..Steve Prefontaine
Outside of the DWW Lip Gloss Gladiators, we have rarely researched a visiting competitor who has faced so many upper echelon fighters as Nadia.
Femcompetitor Magazine was truly surprised.
We should have known better. She has all of the tools to be great.
As a body builder she has competed at many of the elite world events including the Grand Prix 2003, The Balkan Championships 2004, The Greek Championships 2004, Grand Prix 2004, North Greece Grand Prix October 2004, The Greek Championships 2005, The Balkan Championships 2005 to name a few.
As a prelude to one of their best videos, the DWW leadership expresses, “This is a must have video for fans of female sports and mat wrestling. Great skill and powerful young women wrestle as hard as it can get.
Of course, we all know as it is in any kind of sports, that the better the two competitors are, the more they know how to defend and the more stalemates there will be. But they outmuscle each other and use any skills possible to win this match. They are sweating and they are exhausted.
In all matches, muscular Greek bodybuilder Nadia, who has learnt how to wrestle most recently in the USA, is facing three strong ones of our great wrestlers. Antscha in the first match, Viktoria M. in the second match and Reni in the third match.
All matches are long.
If you are out for emotions and unforeseen activity on the mat then this is not really for you, but if you like some of the strongest and best females in real wrestling matches then you shouldn’t miss this.”
That is what we love.
Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.……George Halas
We also love the fact that Nadia took on the best and the baddest, not only at DWW but all over other parts of Europe as well.
Here is our review of a few of her mighty battles.
FEMCOMPETITOR MAGAZINE TAKES A LOOK AT NADIA
VS ANTSCHA
When you meet one of DWW’s best warriors on her own turf; that takes some guts. Dressed in a black top, white pants and………….um…..….pink leg warmers; Nadia came for battle with Antscha inside the famous padded room where many a lesser though highly skilled DWW Lip Gloss Gladiator was dominated.
She and Antscha, the latter dressed in all white, circled one another and then the body and head slaps began before they tumbled to the ground. After rolling around, Antscha finally came out on top, sitting on Nadia as the muscular Greek beauty went on the defense, shielding herself with her arms held tightly into her chest.
Antscha sat on top of her for some time trying to figure out what to do.
This went on for several minutes before Nadia broke the hold and flipped Antscha to the bottom. She flattened out on top of the maiden in white before she trapped Antscha in one of her favorite holds, the reverse head scissors.
Nadia squeezed and squeezed until Antscha finally tapped.
Masterful.
VS RENI
Reni is sporting a white top and light Sea Blue shorts. Nadia is graced in orange. In the same famous DWW inside studio the two beauties begin with a long arm wrestling contest. As the match would soon be, the arm wrestling was extremely close.
Once the grappling starts, Reni gets off to a good start as she head locks Nadia to the dark blue mats. The two feminine but tightly muscled Euro beauties are in close combat, Reni on top but Nadia not giving an inch nor giving in.
Lesser fighters would have.
Soon, standing up, Nadia began to take control. It was Reni’s turn to struggle and struggle she would and then gain control once more only to lose it back to Nadia.
The titanic test of wills ended in a draw.
Our respect level for Nadia’s fighting abilities is soaring.
VS NADEGE
Nadia would meet the Belgian submission wrestling industry super star Nadege indoors for another European company. Adorned in pink leg warmers, red shorts and a black top, like a spider wrapping up her prey, Nadia grasps Nadege by the neck, takes her down and won’t let go and as we all know, Nadege is not going to give up easily.
Radiating in super sexy black shorts and a white top, Nadege begins to turn the tables and now is on top of Nadia.
Top or bottom, our Greek starlet refuses to let go of Nadege’s neck. Nadege finally makes a mistake and Nadia gains control of the match with an upper scissors and arm lock on Nadege. As Nadia comes in for the kill she establishes a crushing arm bar on Nadege who finally concedes. There was only one problem.
No arm bars allowed.
What a match!
VS KASSIDY
As the two sexy women stood there, given the size difference between the much taller and heavier Kassidy dressed in pink and the smaller and shorter but muscular Nadia dressed in multi-colors with her leg warmers again; the latter should have received a free submission.
She didn’t need it.
They engaged, with Nadia mostly on the defensive with Kassidy bear hugging her from behind, attempting to pin her, trying to scissor her and Nadia kept escaping.
Finally Nadia gained the advantage, encased Kassidy in a reverse choke while the heavier girl was on top and Kassidy finally tapped out.
Brilliant.
Kassidy certainly did not give up and the two met again, she often gained the advantage as the battle raged on.
VS ANNE HURRICANE
Nadia took on all tough comers and no further proof than that was when she locked horns with the legendary Belgian star Anne Hurricane.
Dressed in a nicely fitting black top and bottom and her usual pink leg warmers, at the inside facilities where Festelle often shot their matches, the two established warriors went at it. Anne dressed in purple was up for the task.
The two girls fought standing up with many attempts to gain headlock control that were almost like head slaps. The match was aggressive. Be that as it may, the girls could not get neither one to the ground. Finally the ref dressed in orange ordered both gladiators to the mats to fight it out there.
Nadia was immediately on top of her.
In a superior position, she soon trapped Anne in a head scissors by her folded knees. The Belgian princess refused to give up as the match scrambled from one corner of the room to the other. Startled, Nadia was caught off guard and Anne gained control.
The match went back and forth when finally Nadia trapped Anne from behind and the Belgian super star was in trouble. Coupled with both an excruciating body scissor and neck lock, there was nowhere else for Anne to go and she tapped out.
VS AGNES
She would meet the muscular star Agnes in a padded room on light green mats.
It was a struggle early on but to my surprise Agnes was immediately on top. It was one of the few matches where I saw Nadia dominated through a hold. With Agnes in complete control, Nadia finally submitted to an arm bar.
If a man does his best, what else is there?…..George S. Patton
Well done Nadia. What a resume.
If we chronicled her victories at the legendary Fighting Style tournament, this could turn into a novel.
Ask yourself. How many female submission resumes are loaded with more stars and victories against top opponents than Nadia’s?
A further revision of female submission wrestling history is in order.
Nadia is one of the best.
Nadia is one of the elite.
No stadium renovations necessary. No need to jump to another conference.
She’s one of the best………because she beat the best.
