AKA The ‘Brownie Bruiser’ 141cm Brinley

Going to a ‘Mud Queens’ match is a little like illegal cock fighting; everyone is half drunk, cheering on their favorite fighter and placing bets, but it’s a much bigger and sloppier mess! Women’s mud wrestling is big business, as much as many other lesser sports. The women who take part come from all backgrounds and their reasons for wrestling in the mud vary a great deal from person to person. Each has a ‘fight name’, like Brinley, the ‘Brownie Bruiser’.

When I came to town, I didn’t know a soul, but I ran across a wrinkled old flyer promoting the next event. I called the promoter and said, ‘I’d like to do this. How can I get trained?’ He said, one woman dropped out yesterday, so you can take her place tomorrow night! Now I’m pretty strong and gutsy, but I was nervous. I fought against this huge, tall lady and she kicked my butt. So did the next wrestler, and the next, and the next. Now, I was determined. The next bout I won, and I never got over the audience cheering and calling my name, ‘Bruiser, Bruiser, Bruiser…!’ I’m not always in the mud, in fact, I clean up real good and know how to treat a man right. Let’s get together and I’ll show you my moves…! (smile)
