Stickey leotards and body slams highlight wrestling event

As soon as the Death Chefs jumped Max Mondoozle, the wrestling match was over.

Ed Venture cheap shotted the distracted Mondoozle over the head with a chair as a free-for-all broke out that would have made Rowdy Roddy Piper proud.

"You can't win any more in this game," said Mondoozle, also known as Ed Critchett, with all the vengeance of a Gator football player in his eyes."

Venture had the tricks up his sleeve, all right. "I was going in for the kill but he hit me over the head with that chair," Mondoozle said.

No, it wasn't Big Time Wrestling on television, but to the 300 people who packed the "Mary Ward Memorial Recreation facility" on Tuesday night, Ed Venture's Pro Action Wrestling was the next best thing.

The wrestlers were actually 12 dorm residents disorganized by Ed Venture (Pat Neal) and Lamont Coleman Jr., who appeared as the Emperor of Wrestling Island.

Pandemonium broke out again as Rebecca of Donnybrook Farm and then Doris the Dominatrix joined in the melee.

Punches and Jell-O flew in an orgy of green goop.

No clean winner prevailed.

Doris the Dominatrix had earlier been involved in a panel discussion on "Violence Toward Men in Rock Videos."

The crowd roared again.

Tuesday's wrestling match was a parody of a "'mud wrestle-off" held last month during the Associated Students elections.

Outside the recreation room was a sign reading: "Warning! Some material may be sexist or otherwise offensive.

Shelley Northern, who wrestled as Sue Sin, said the sign was meant as a joke but "there is some reverse sexism involved. We're a bunch of women making fun of male fanatics."

Northern said she "chickened out" of the mud wrestling contest '"I suggested tropical fruit Jell-O because I thought it was more exotic," she said.

"I don't know how they settled on lime.

In a preliminary bout the Two Headed Sheik -- two guys dressed in one robe -- went up against the Death Chefs.

The match lasted a whole five seconds as the Chefs ripped the Sheik in half, then pinned the duo.

After the festivities, Venture yelled at the crowd piling out of the recreation hall; "We did what we said we would! "
