A Session With Riptide (Angel Orsini)
By TomNine



This is an account of a private mixed wrestling session with Angel
Orsini, AKA Riptide.  It took place in a hotel near Baltimore on 11
December 1999.

First, a few words about myself.  I am 41 years old, 5'10.5" tall, and
weighed 246 lbs on the day of the event.  I am not at all athletic but
fairly fit, and I have no wrestling background.

Here are some Angel links I've found:

http://www.jungle-gym.net/riptide.htm is her Jungle Gym page, the best
resource right now and the only point of contact.for her.

http://foxymuscle.com/ssshtml/SheStrongAngel.shtml is her She's So
Strong page, still up for her but there are no pictures.  (Angel told me
that she did not want to be listed there, and Heather Fine does not
represent her in any way.)  Angel is not on the list of women Heather
claims to represent, but the page can still be accessed.

There isn't much about her on the current http://www.fcwwrestling.com
Florida Championship Wrestling site, though she is listed as ladies'
champion.  http://www.fcwwrestling.com/photos/ is the gallery index and
has some pics of her in action, just search for "Riptide."

The Decision

I knew early on that I would treat myself to a session in December.  I
could fit it into my budget, and could have afforded one in November too
but for some reason didn't indulge during that month.

A few interesting visitors were coming by the Baltimore/DC area, but I'd
long been intrigued by Angel Orsini, who is active on the independent
wrestling circuit as "Riptide."  Her look greatly appealed to me, and
her background included bodybuilding and martial arts on top of
pro-style wrestling, so I had high expectations.

I've heard only one really positive first-hand account of a session with
Angel, from a guy who's tastes overlap with mine quite a bit but he is
more into muscle worship than wrestling.  His comments about her
personality were encouraging enough to keep her on my to-wrestle list. 

Among the other more interesting contenders for "Miss December" was
Karina, from the Tempest Agency in NYC.  I'm very curious about her but
she was staying in a downtown DC hotel during days when I had to work,
making getting there a minor hassle.  The request from Tempest that I
send a deposit at least a week in advance also put me off a bit.

The Set Up

Angel has no direct contact info and she can be reached only through the
Jungle Gym site, which was also the only place where I saw this trip
reported.  I sent off an e-mail to "Brander" the site's host persona to
indicate my interest.  Brander's responses were prompt and professional.

After a brief exchange a vague date was set for Saturday morning.  Angel
was en route from the NY/NJ area, where she has some family and she did
a few sessions, to Tennessee, where she had a pro wrestling show the
night after our session.

Brander also asked me to recommend a hotel, which I did.  He told me
Angel would call me while she was in New Jersey to finalize the plans.

Early in the week before the session I came home to find a message on my
machine.  It was Angel, of course, and a Jersey number to call her back
at.  I confirmed my interest to see her and we chatted very briefly.
She still had to make hotel reservations but it looked like a go.   We
talked again on Thursday night and the plans were finalized, nothing to
do but wait until Saturday.  Some aspects of the session were discussed,
but the subject of money never came up, I just planned to bring what her
Jungle Gym page said her fee was, $300.

I was her only appointment in Maryland, though she told me she would
have time to see someone else on Friday night.  I posted that
information on my message board, but it was too late for anyone to take
advantage of.

I called the hotel about 30 minutes before our appointment to make sure
she had checked in and all was well.  I assumed she hadn't checked in as
Riptide, so I asked for "Miss Orsini" and got her room.  (This is the
type of thing the wrestlers and agents should really clear up ahead of
time.  If I had only seen the Jungle Gym site I would only have known
her as Riptide.)  I told her it would take about half an hour to get
over there, and she told me her room number and said she was just
slipping out to get some breakfast.

I took my time getting to the hotel to give her a chance to eat, and I
knocked on her door at about 10:05am.

The Encounter

She opened the door, smiling and looking great in a gray wrestling
singlet that nicely showed off her sturdy yet curvy figure.  

The stats on her Jungle Gym page are:

Height: 5'5"
Weight -
   Off season: 160 lbs.
   Contest: 145 lbs.
Biceps: 15"
Quads: 23"
Calves: 15"
Chest: 42"

I wouldn't seriously argue with any of these stats.  I asked her weight
and she said it was somewhere between 160 and 165.  I brought my tape
measure but didn't take any measurements.  She was nicely muscled,
though I would've estimated her arms closer to 14" than 15", not sharply
defined but in a nicely toned off-season shape.

She looked pretty much like she does in her pictures, neither better nor
worse the way some ladies do.  Best of all was her very cheerful
personality, ensuring that there was no awkwardness between us.

We talked for a few minutes.  She offered me some water, but I always
bring a bottle of my own.  She also offered me some knee pads since we
were going at it on the carpet; I'd never used them in a session before
but thought it was worth a try.  (They worked great, and I've since
bought some of my own to add to my session-going bag of stuff.)  She was
almost done clearing a wrestling area of furniture and I helped with a
few last pieces.  Pillows and sofa cushions were spread out to pad a few
rough spots.

I gave her the fee before we went any further.  She took the pile of $20
bills out of the envelope and counted them. 

Soon enough it was time for...

The Match

We wrestled on the floor, starting the falls on our knees.  I usually
let the woman make the first move and today there was no waiting as
Angel jumped into the fray with a very playful aggression, showing good
speed and technique.  I was a bit too heavy for her to really control,
and though I don't consider myself particularly strong or skilled I
found it fairly easy to avoid submission holds unless I really backed
off on the resistance I was putting up.  

She showed right away that her favorite submission holds were chokes and
arm bars, neither of which I particularly enjoy, so while she was going
for them I was usually on the defense until she moved on to something
else.

She could lock her ankles in a body scissors and was capable of a good
squeeze but nothing that would make me consider submitting.  She held me
in this position often as we talked, which was very pleasant.  The one
time she put me in a head scissors she basically asked me if I would go
along with it and I passively put my head between her thighs.  It was a
very powerful squeeze I could not escape from and I submitted soon
enough.

I prefer to spend at least some of a session on my back with the
wrestler on top controlling me.  Though Angel is a big, strong girl I
was often capable of reversing this position, though I was just as
likely to relax and enjoy the moment.  She worked a few grapevines which
didn't seem to have much effect at the time but my knees felt a little
tender the next few days so maybe I shouldn't have let her work them so
hard.

I wouldn't call any of her moves "breast smothers" but some of her
schoolboy pins included putting her breasts on my face.  If the intent
wasn't to suffocate me it certainly made me less likely to resist!
Angel has a terrific voluptuous body that may not be to everyone's taste
but I greatly enjoyed the feeling of her body struggling against mine
while she had a big smile on her face.

Toward the end of the session there was a point where I was holding her
down as she had me in a tight body scissor and I stood up, pulling her
up with me.  This is something I often like to do (if I can) if only to
see how the woman will react.  I tried to lift her like this a few other
times earlier in the session and Angel was clearly wary of letting me do
it, probably because of some other clients who wanted to try out some
pro wrestling moves on her.  I asked her to trust me as I held her up
and she did, even as I jokingly moved as if to throw her down to the
floor.  Instead I just fell on the bed.

We tangled on the bed for a few minutes when she stopped to look at the
clock radio on the night table.  She asked me what time we started
wrestling and I said 10:15.  We rolled around on the bed for another
five minutes or so and she told me it was 11:17 and the wrestling part
of the session was over.

As I've indicated, though I didn't get that great feeling of being
totally overpowered, I did enjoy rolling around with Angel, who has a
great personality and is very attractive.  There was no sense of being
rushed and she tended to no other business during the hour.

I helped get the room in order for a few minutes, then I went to
bathroom to change into fresh clothes.  When I came out I asked her if
she wanted to get some lunch before she hit the road again, and she
immediately agreed.  I waited while she showered, dressed, and gathered
her things.  The hotel is at one end of a strip mall and we took her car
to the other end to where I thought there was someplace to eat.   We
ended up in a Ledo Pizza where we each got a sandwich.  We continued a
very pleasant conversation that began during the session.  The main
subject was pro wrestling, which I find very boring except when pretty
girls are involved.

After eating we parted company with a hug and she was off for her match
in Tennessee.

Based on my session with her, I would not recommend Angel for a highly
competitive match.  She may be be challenging for a smaller guy with no
wrestling experience.  To any potential client who finds her look
appealing, I would highly recommend her for a fun if not totally
overwhelming semi-competitive session.
