Slim Christiane was one of the roster of wrestlers working for the GMC producer in the 1980's. When that company folded she, along with several other ex-GMC fighters, transferred to the newly-emerging LGIS (New) company - it appeared that this group of girls preferred boxing to wrestling so that the boxing-orientated LGIS (New) setup suited them better.
The inaugural LGIS (New) 1994 tournament featured a newcomer, Nicole Hartwig AKA Cassia, who rapidly became the focal point of the group. She was designated as "Captain" or sometimes vice-president, and as such accepted all challenges to box or wrestle. A powerful and relentless fighter she fought in a huge number of competitive matches of all types, particularly boxing matches, while also refereeing bouts, introducing/interviewing fighters and generally being the face of the company. Her view of female fighting was - "Fighting - wrestling as well as boxing - means hurting the opponent as well as taking the risk of getting hurt yourself, and not being afraid of either outcome."
By around 2000 the LGIS (New) group seemed to have become dormant with no new material appearing. However in 2003-2004 there was another, short-lived revival, this time fronted by middle-aged fight enthusiast Thalli but with Cassia still involved. This group set up a new website - Munich Wildcats - and for a time their new videos together with all ex-LGIS videos were available there. The site was also affiliated to the Kontex network for several years. The revived company seemed to be operating on a very low budget with matches staged in ordinary rooms in houses, and with only a small roster of girls to work with. All activity had ceased by around 2007.

| Date | Producer | Video Title | Opponent | Result | Rules | Clothes | Comments | Links | Pic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1994 | LGIS (New) | MW-5-7 | Cassia | KO | Boxing | Topless | Cassia and Christiane met in the final of the 8-girl 1994 tournament - Cassia was bigger but Christiane had more boxing experience. Cassia went straight onto the attack but lacked defensive skills so she was soon taking many hard and well placed punches. At the end of the 2nd round Cassia seemed to have shot her bolt and was knocked down for the first time. The end came in the 3rd round when, after another series of telling punches, Christiane sent her again to the canvas | N/a | 
|
| 1995 | LGIS (New) | MW-7-4 | Cassia | KO | Boxing | Topless | Cassia and Christiane boxed in a challenge bout - both girls were fully committed and the action was unrelenting as heavy punches were constantly exchanged. At first it appeared Cassia was sure to win as she bullied her lighter opponent from corner to corner and roughed her up in clinches - however Christiane had staying power and waited for Cassia to tire. At that point she launched her own attack and soon had Cassia in trouble before delivering a KO punch to end the bout | N/a | 
|
| 1995 | LGIS (New) | MW-8-5 | Cassia | KO | Boxing | Topless | Cassia was keen to take revenge on Christiane for her KO defeat in the previous 1994 tournament. In the first rounds it was again Christiane who had the better punches against the constantly attacking Cassia, and as result she floored her twice with Cassia needing to take eight-counts to be able to recover. But in the fourth round Christiane was caught cold by a fierce punch which put her on the canvas, and though she tried to get back on her feet the referee had already counted her out | N/a | 
|
| 1996 | LGIS (New) | MW-3-1 | Cassia | 0-2 | Catfight | Naked | Cassia and Christiane staged a brutal naked catfight with minimal rules in which bare-knuckle punching was allowed as well as hair-pulling, breast-mauling and choking. Both girls clearly intended to hand out a punishing beating to the other and the action was savage at times despite their personal friendship. Cassia's greater strength told in the end and she forced two submissions from her lighter opponent who was left beaten and exhausted on the mat | N/a |
