Wish I could find more girl on girl wrestling videos that meet my criteria. (Apparently, what I like to see is virtually non-existent, even though there's nothing strange about it) I'll end up using fighting-game lingo as I try to describe it, but anyway... What I'd like to see more of when it comes to fictional female fighting is...
1. In a wrestling ring, at the very least. Rolling around like idiots in someone's living room is not cool. Must still be a private production. Cable TV franchises like WWE, obviously can't have girls fighting in a sexually stimulating way.
2. Hot outfit, especially on the one who's losing. (Skirts or leotard / bikini-type things never hurts) Most of the girls on TV, like WWE, wear full body suits, even though they're supposed to be attractive as compensation for their lack of talent. There's just something about a girl who appears to be cute and weak taking a fictional beating. Bonus points for pigtails and / or the anime schoolgirl look. (Not that I've ever seen such a thing in wrestling, sadly)
3. One-sided victory. The loser should take most, if not all damage inflicted. I don't like back and forth, even match-ups. To me, a reversal is like a combo breaker, interrupting my fun. A pinfall attempt after every move is also lame.
4. Minimal submission. (This is a big one) Holds dominate the fantasy fighting industry, because you don't really need training or skill to use them, and apparently, people like them. So it's hard for someone like me to find good entertainment. (I've never even found a downloadable video game containing good looking girls + pro wrestling physics. Toffisama's "Princess of the Ring" came close to being good) This type of damage is boring. It should be all about "combos" and "hit stun." (smash bros reference, lol) Basically, I think throws and strikes are hot. To dominate by causing pain that has a noticeable impact, not by simply putting your legs around someone's neck for 5 minutes straight. (And not lame-ass, absurdly fake belly punching either. I'm talking about leg drops and stuff) Heck, I don't even like it when they make way too much noise. There's a fine line between sexy and irritating.
Is it so much to ask for decent productions in which girls are thrown to the mat, picked up, and thrown again? Even basic things like scoop slam and vertical suplex are good knock-down moves in the world of fiction. I also like the idea that a girl who gets thrown down should lay flat on the mat, almost as if they were out cold. (my idea of "hit stun") The way they lay down in "Dead or Alive 3" is a great example, until "Dead or Alive 4" screwed it up with that "Laying halfway upright, shaking their heads" effect. Sure, it's realistic for people to recompose themselves that way, but good ryona-style fighting is supposed to sacrifice realism and practicality for the entertainment of people who enjoy fictional violence. A real person who gets dropped on the ground wouldn't just lay down flat, breathing heavily, for a long time and wait to be hit again from the top rope, but dammit... it's sexy when a girl acts as though damage = temporary paralysis.
Sorry for the long read. I'm not exactly requesting anything, just voicing my "unusual" opinions.
