The Miss Amazon topless wrestling tournament was held at DWW’s 1996 summer gathering which took place at Chȃteau-Hotel Fenyöharászt, Hungary over three days August 23-25. This was the second year that DWW had held a summer event there. Sixteen young women took part in the Miss Amazon tournament; all but two were novices to wrestling.

The tournament started in the evening at sunset with a “beauty contest” in which each of sixteen young women was interviewed about their background and their interests. At this point in proceedings the contestants were in evening dresses as if they had just finished a formal dinner (see first picture in gallery below).

The weather was very hot, so the first rounds of fighting were held at night when it was cooler. A shiny black plastic wrestling mat with a pink edging was used which was illuminated by a set of powerful lights. GR, the owner of DWW, now describes the video quality of these night time fights as “lousy”, but the considering the relatively primitive nature of the technical equipment available at the time the pictures are remarkably good. The unique arrangement of venue and lighting makes for some striking images, which readers can judge for themselves in the gallery pictures below. The semi-final and final matches were held the next day in daylight and the quality of these recordings is not quite so impressive.

The tournament was organised as a regular knock-out contest with 8 fights in the first round followed by 4 quarter finals, 2 semi-finals and the final. The fights were refereed by the Englishman known affectionately as “Jeff the Ref”. Matches were decided by pins and submissions with the pins taken to a count of 5 where both shoulder blades and wrists had to be held on the mat. Most of the fights were quite short; some were decided by a single fall, while others went on for longer. It seems that the length of each fight was left to the discretion of the referee.

The young women, all aged between 18 and 22, were mainly from Hungary, and they were all attractive and athletic. For some of the fighters it seems as this was their one and only appearance for DWW, but others, such as Kriszta, Christine and Iva, would go on to be regular DWW fighters for many years to come. The experience of the two non-novice fighters (Eveline and Anita) was all too evident and they progressed through the tournament to the final with Eveline taking the Championship after a hard fought battle with Anita.

Unfortunately the 3 video tapes of the tournament (DWW-72, DWW-73 and DWW-74) are no longer available on the DWW website. However, most of the fights are available in the “Fight of the Month” category. Regrettably with the full tapes being unavailable we are also not able to see the Beauty Contest that was held before the first round fights.
