Bolivian Wrestling: No Holds Barred


My friend Mark snapped these photos (click to enlarge) a couple years ago at a wrestling match in Bolivia.

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure Michelangelo (the party dude) got out of that jam and went on to win the match.

Now National Geographic gives us the backstory behind Bolivian women's wrestling. An excerpt:
Yolanda spins too late; Claudina knocks her flat and clambers like a crazy person onto the ropes. "I'm the prettiest!" she yells at the audience. "You're all ugly! I'm your daddy! I'm the one the gringos have come to see!"
Via Neatorama.

They've also got little people wrestling (in the guise of a Chucky doll no less). I'm pretty sure this is not offensive (?):

  2. I've never been one for sports...probably because I never came across this one.
