Absolute Intense Wrestling Presents 'Girls Night Out' Grappling Event

Real women put on red lipstick ... and wrestle.

It seemed a dramatized version of a Halloween night barroom brawl – part synchronization, part actual pain infliction.

Also known as the “Handicapped Hero,” Iron famously competes despite having cerebral palsy.

Round after round, the unfortunate loser was left writhing in the ring after having endured back flips, front flips, kicks and body slams.

“This is wrestling,” the amped up crowd chanted.

They were, after all, the real stars of Friday night's event.

In tiny outfits, boots, knee-high socks and fishnet stockings, they
did so well into the night.

“As a straight man, I enjoy seeing half-naked women wrestling,” Aaron Bauer, the show’s host, said, laughing.

“Our crowd is really, really wild,” he added. “They’re the
best fans.”
