WRESLTER OF TURKEY

Every year since 1640 Turkey’s best wrestlers – men and boys – have gathered for their national championships on a grassy field near the capitol of the old Ottoman Empire (Edirne). The tournament is called Kirkpinar, or “Forty Springs,” in honor of a 17th Century wrestling legend.

For three days the field is crowded with simultaneous matches in eleven divisions, ranging from school kids to forty-year-old masters. The sun is hot and the fights are long. Only if there is no winner after a half-hour is the mach decided with a sudden death overtime. There are few forbidden holds, and grabbing of trunks is not off limits.

About 1,000 barefoot grapplers compete, oiled up and stripped to the waist. The anything-goes style and the oiled leather trunks originated with the world-renowned Janissaries, an elite fraternity of body guards to the imperial Sultans. The modern stadium is located on the former site of the Sultan’s palace, and Turkey’s president crowns the champions on the final day.

HOT WRESTLER WOMEN

Lucy Libre is a fresh face with the NWWL, having overcome an abundance of adversity in her life and traveled far to get a chance to make her mark in the Naked Women's Wrestling League. She's a natural beauty with a knack for quickness and high-energy moves.
When she first joined the roster, Libre started off as a referee, because she wanted to understand the dynamics of wrestling before taking it on more seriously. After a few months of refereeing and a controversial reveal, Fuego Felina was unmasked and Lucy Libre was born. Once becoming an official naked wrestler, Libre rubbed some of the other wrestlers the wrong way.
Ninja Chops had an immediate problem with her and thus challenged her to a bout in the ring, giving Libre an opportunity to demonstrate everything she learned up close and personal as a ref. She's moved up the ranks quickly and hopes to stay there as long as she can, because she's not easily deterred by difficulties or hardship.
Growing up in Mexico, Libre lost her parents at an early age, giving her the determination to make something of herself and saving her siblings from forced destitution. This is how she found her first love: dancing. Combining her years of dance with wrestling techniques has allowed her to become a force of contention in the league, and for now it doesn't seem like anyone is prepared to stop her.
