Tape Gagged A.S.A.P Scenario

Following along in the "Early Gagging" discussion I've been addressing lately, I'd like to mention a scenario we filmed this month called "Backstage Bondage Capture."

This scenario, based strongly on a fan's write-in suggestion, provided an opportunity for us to get protagonist VeVe gagged as soon as possible, and to keep her gagged for the entire rest of the video.  This scenario also featured the petite ShaSha getting gagged as well.  In both cases, the gags were handkerchiefs stuffed into the mouth and then taped over with lots of bondage tape.

Now, mind you, this was not a competitive bondage wrestling video at all.  We've yet to try the early gagging in that style.  Instead, "Backstage Bondage Capture" was a totally scripted scenario that also happened to feature fantasy wrestling... while gagged.  It also featured a mix of both rope and duct tape bondage, with Amazon Annie applying all bindings.

The storyline and its portrayal by the ladies did reach into zany territory.  VeVe and ShaSha played more straight-faced type characters, but Amazon Annie developed her character to be a bit off-the-wall.  She played an obsessive stalker who was absolutely fixated on capturing ShaSha, but she was more the "crazy, talkie" type of stalker rather than the "scary, dangerous" sort.

Anyway, despite its zany and sometimes goofy moments, the scenario did provide great opportunities to see VeVe and ShaSha in various states on bondage.  We have VeVe wearing her "bodyguard" outfit, bound with duct tape and gagged.  We have ShaSha in her bikini, hogtied and later captive-carried over Annie's shoulder, of course gagged.  And we have VeVe struggling out of her duct tape - and consequently out of her bodyguard outfit - to wrestle Annie while now thong bikini-clad (and still gagged), but only to wind up rope-bound to a chair.

Backstage Capture compared with Bikini Caper

This scenario reminded me a bit of VeVe and Keri's Bikini Bondage Caper, which was filmed almost exactly a year ago (Nov 2013).  "Bikini Bondage Caper" featured the very experienced VeVe and Keri, and it had a much more complex and developed storyline compared to "Backstage Bondage Capture," but it did similarly feature the two ladies in a variety of bondage positions with a variety of gags.  But while "Bikini Caper" involved a good bit of fantasy wrestling, it did not feature the wrestling-while-gagged aspect of "Backstage Capture." (picture at left is from "Bikini Bondage Caper").

It would be interesting to get VeVe and Keri back for another bondage scenario together with an "early gagging" theme.  The veteran power of VeVe and Keri combined with the challenge of gagged wrestling would certainly make for an intriguing sight.  Perhaps, indeed, if they were both gagged while wrestling.

Regardless, Amazon Annie makes for a fun adversary here in "Backstage Bondage Capture," especially when she hoists a captive lady over her shoulder to carry her away!

But anyway, with no further ado, here is the official write-up for November 2014's "Backstage Bondage Capture" with VeVe, Annie, ShaSha, and the "as soon as possible" tape gagging:

VeVe, Amazon Annie, and ShaSha play out a zany fantasy bondage scenario specially designed to get VeVe's mouth stuffed and tape gagged as soon as possible... and for the remainder of the video. Gag talk and bound distress are in store for poor VeVe! Here's how it goes:

Bikini model ShaSha is backstage at her runway show, accompanied by her bodyguard VeVe. ShaSha is nervous this evening, since she has been receiving many bizarre letters from a particularly obsessive, stalker-like fan. VeVe, however, assures ShaSha that all will be well on her watch... As ShaSha takes a brief nap, VeVe also begins to doze off.

The lounge door slowly opens and in sneaks our obsessive stalker: Amazon Annie! Annie grabs VeVe and throws her to the floor. Caught by surprise, VeVe is no match for the amazon, and Annie quickly wrestles her down and duct tapes her arms and legs. Annie stuffs a handkerchief into VeVe's mouth, securing the gag with layers of bondage tape wrapped around VeVe's head. Annie tapes VeVe's arms and legs even more before moving in for her prize: ShaSha.

ShaSha is totally helpless and too scared to resist as Annie stuffs a handkerchief into her mouth and secures it with the tape. But as Annie takes her time admiring the gagged ShaSha, VeVe can be seen in the background, struggling to free herself!

With Annie distracted, VeVe gradually squirms her way out of her bodyguard outfit, escaping the duct tape but now clad only in her thong bikini and her gag. Annie quickly rope binds ShaSha and sets her aside, moving then to engage VeVe. As VeVe and Annie wrestle, Annie eventually gains the upper hand, lifting VeVe onto a chair and rope-binding her in place.



As Annie gloats and ties gagged VeVe to the chair, we see poor hogtied ShaSha in the foreground, looking on helplessly as her bodyguard is subdued. Indignant, VeVe struggles and rages, mumbling and grumbling through the gag. But it is no use. Annie adjusts ShaSha's bindings and then lifts her captive up over her shoulder. Annie parades ShaSha around the room, taunting the chair-bound VeVe before carrying ShaSha out the door. Alone, VeVe struggles and strains in her chair, but her efforts are useless. Annie's made a clean getaway!

Running time: 27 minutes

VeVe starts wearing black jeans and shirt, later strips to thong bikini. VeVe is gagged 5 minutes into the video and stays gagged throughout. All wrestling is fantasy style. ShaSha is calm and compliant when bound. VeVe struggles and gag-talks a lot. Zany storyline.

Early Gagging, New Ideas, Looking Forward

Greetings gentle readers, it is I yet again!  As October draws to a close, I wanted to wrap up with a little post touching on thoughts I've had this month, suggestions and wish-list ideas fans have sent in, and intentions for going forward.

First off, a fan suggestion that I'm quite interested in realizing: early gagging.

Early Gagging?  I know, the term sounds kind of raunchy or something, but I've yet to come up with a tidier way to say: "Get the gag in / on as soon as possible in the bondage match."

More than one fan has suggested this, actually, and I completely support the idea.  However, granted, it is nearly impossible to pull off in a competitive match (which maybe makes me want to try that even more...), but it is certainly do-able in a fantasy or scenario-based match video.

Strategic Early Gagging

In a superheroine-themed pro-style match from this past summer, VeVe and Jade Indica got to try this out.  Since VeVe's superheroine character had a super sonic scream special ability, Jade's villainess character needed to gag her as soon as possible, lest she suffer any further from the sonic blasts (and she suffered from 2 already!).  So, Jade cleverly solves the problem "with a little red tape" by tape gagging VeVe mid-way through the match, forcing "VeVe Canary" to fight the last half while over-the-mouth tape gagged.  This created a nice effect of the poor superheroine suffering through pro-style holds while also gagged.

And once Jade had fully physically defeated her foe, she wrapped her up in more tape and finished with a red tape hogtie.  It was a brilliant and clever performance by both ladies, but, of course, it wasn't bondage wrestling as we understand it here.

So, as we see, tape is a good and quick option for early gagging.  But unless the tape goes all the way around the head, it may be likely to fall off due to sweatiness or to get removed, either intentionally or accidentally, in a competitive bondage match.  Of course, then again, maybe not.

Early gagging is great when your opponent is a superheroine with a dangerous sonic scream special attack, and I'd actually like to explore that idea further.  In fact, I'd like to bring back the Canary character, this time in the form of Rachel DD.  And I'd like to get that gag on her right from the start, after she's been tricked or taken by surprise, and then forced to fight for survival without her scream ability.

I may put Evil VeVe on the task of harassing Rachel Canary, but I also have some other plans for Rachel and bondage wrestling as well, looking forward.  But before I get into that, one more comment on the early gagging.

Ball Gag for Early Gagging?

I do believe there was a fan who suggested using a ball gag for early gagging.  Now, while I do think this is an intriguing and viable idea, I also think it might prove quite difficult for the competitors / participants.  I like the idea, I really do, and I like the potential for genuine stress and strain expressions on the faces of the ball gagged participants, but I do wonder if that ball would just cause too much breathing difficulty or general jaw discomfort to be worn in wrestling conditions.

Certainly, only the bravest and most stout-of-heart will agree to try this challenging activity.  Is it possible?  There's really only one way to find out for sure...

Looking forward...

More Bondage Wrestling with Rachel DD

Fans have also responded positively to suggestions about a competitive bondage wrestling match featuring me (Diablo) against the very physically expressive Rachel DD.

I had the pleasure of bondage wrestling Rachel's friend Lela Beryl back in March of this year, and I'd certainly enjoy a chance to rope-up the squiggly and wriggly Rachel as well.

Granted, I'm not sure I can compare with the lovely rope-doings of VeVe in her match against Rachel (indeed, the crotch rope insta-choice was inspired), but I would like to get my grips on Rachel in a superheroine / super villain type match situation.  Would I be the one to take down Rachel Canary, using the early gagging strategy?  What sort of nefarious tortures would await poor Rachel Canary once she's been bondage wrestled down and properly bound?  Heck, let's not get ahead of ourselves: what sort of lovely images would we make as the lovely-yet-gagged Rachel struggles under the pressures of the match itself?

And even more thoughts on Rachel and bondage wrestling: what about Rachel vs Crazy Azy?  Rachel vs Amazon Annie?

Other Bondage Wrestling Challenges

Other fans have also suggested more "Escape and Attack" type matches.  These matches mean that the participants start tied up in the same types of tie, and once they get the "Go!", both struggle to escape as fast as they can.  The first person out races over the the other person and then the match "begins," with the other person now needing to fight from whatever tied position he/she is still in.  Sometimes, as was the case in of VeVe's Escape & Attack against Orlandoe, the poor opponent is not able to slip any of the original bonds at all!  That always leads to a very unhappy and even more tightly bound situation for the loser...


So, we've had suggestions for Escape & Attacks with both opponents gagged from the start (more early gagging getting involved here).  I'm thinking ball gag, tape, cleave, any of those are perfectly good.  I've also considered start positions such as spread-eagle, using spreader bars or other furniture; duct taped bound starts; or opponents who are first bound individually and then also bound together in some way.  There's a lot of potential here.

Looking forward...

In any case, I'm overstaying my welcome here in this little cafe, and the crowd is really starting to build up around me.  So, I'm going to bring this entry to a close now.  I hope you all enjoy this post, and I certainly welcome comments, suggestions, and any dialogue about the ideas here.

And by all means, keep sending in your "Wish List" ideas.  We may not be able to realize everything, and we may not be able to get to everything right away, but many suggestions do stick in our minds as we move forward.  Challenging suggestions are intriguing!  Of course, more accessible suggestions are... more accessible.  But we do love a good challenge.  Looking forward... onward to more adventures in the wild world of bondage wrestling!

Bondage Wrestling Newcomers All Around!

Tomorrow is newbie day in the bondage wrestling arena!

Oh my, what's that mean?  

It means that when the cat's away, the mice will play.  Rope-tie wrestling veteran VeVe is out of town this month, but her students and former opponents are gearing up for a rumble.

Tomorrow we're set to film two new competitive bondage wrestling matches featuring visiting wrestler Mahea, as well as local wrestlers Crazy Azy and Hanz Vanderkill.  The fight combos look like this: Mahea vs Crazy Azy and Mahea vs Hanz.

As far as I know, Mahea has only competitively bondage wrestled once, and it was against VeVe last year (Oct 2013).  

VeVe was on the war path for that one, and she made quick work of Mahea.  But now Mahea will get a chance to face off against two Not-VeVe opponents, one of whom we've yet to see competitively bondage wrestle...

That would be Crazy Azy.  As far as I know, Azy hasn't bondage wrestled solo, though she may have double teamed some hapless souls alongside Amazon Annie.  However, Azy did come over to the studio recently for a quick tutorial with VeVe.  It was only an hour-long lesson, but will it be enough to get the job done tomorrow?

Then there's Hanz, the perpetual Nemesis On The Mats.  Hanz has the most bondage wrestling experience of the 3 competitors who will be gathering tomorrow.  However, he has yet to win a match.  Granted, his last 2 competitive matches were against VeVe (May 2012 and May 2013).  In his first match, he held out for about 20 minutes.  In his second for 40 minutes.  But the question remains: can he finish a tie?  Like Azy, Hanz recently had a one-on-one tutorial with VeVe.  Will he be able to put the new knowledge to good use?

So hooray for the new competitors stepping up!  None of these fighters has yet to win a bondage wrestling challenge, so they'll be hungry for their chance to rack up a W.

What will happen?  How long will each match take?  What kind of ties will they discover?  We'll find out tomorrow, and I'll keep you posted!

Interview: VeVe Talks Tying Twiggy, Rachel, Sircee, Frankie

I was lucky enough to get VeVe to sit down for a new interview regarding her recent bondage wrestling goings-on.  Notably, we talked about the 4 recent competitive video matches she had all within one week's time, following her return to NYC.

She talked about her 4 recent opponents - Twiggy, Rachel DD, Sircee, and Frankie - who covered a range in sizes and skill levels.  Following that, she also gave some general bondage wrestling thoughts, which were inspired by these matches.

So, below I present the transcript of the interview.  Titles and my comments are in bold.  VeVe's comments are in plain text.  Here you go:


Twiggy. Male, 5'6" and 135 lbs. Match date Aug 29, 2014 (Released!)

For my match with Twiggy, it was a match where I knew I didn't want to go easy on him at all, because I have wrestled Twiggy before a while back.  He was quite challenging then.  He is somebody who knows some jiujitsu and has a solid wrestling foundation, so he's not somebody I can expect to easily push around.  Though I know I have an advantage, bondage wrestling adds whole 'nother challenging element, so somebody with a little bit of knowledge can make it really, really hard to tie them up.

Furthermore, I had just watched his match against Howl, where he definitely had the advantage in that match, even being a novice to bondage.  His wrestling expoerience was able to really present a problem to Howl, so I was impressed watching that and knew that I was going to be serious about this match and not be too nice.

What brought you to that end tie?

I knew I would need to take whatever opening I got.  Twiggy was one of those opponents who's not intimidated by the rope bite; he'll not back off, he'll let you do your worst and still keep fighting.  So, I had to take any opportunity I did have and ended up getting the elbows attached to the knees by good chance, and that happened to be open, and it was the best way to immobilize that particular person.

Once I did have him immobilized, at least partially, and had the advantage, then I wanted to really cinch it in, make it count.  And I think it was lucky that Twiggy was more impressed than upset by the whole experience.  But he kept fighting me even by kicking his feet when that was the only thing he had left, which kind of egged me on to make it even worse  So I think he got the full experience of a really nasty bondage finish.  And I got the satisfaction of taking down somebody really good.  The tie just kept getting more creative and a little bit nasty, just based on the way we were escalating there.

Any closing words about this one?

One that I'm proud of.  I thought that it ended up with some good artistry, but not the sort of artistry that happens when you intend to go out and do something fancy.  [It was] the sort of artistry that happens when you meet up with somebody who makes you push your normal boundaries and makes you be creative out of necessity.  That was pretty cool.


Rachel DD.  Female, 5'4" and 120 lbs.  Match date Aug 24, 2014 (Released!)

In the match with Rachel, you did some innovative things too.  Could you talk about that?

Sure.  Well, bondage wrestling with Rachel is something that we'd been wanting to do for a while.  Kinda totally the opposite of the Twiggy match, where I knew I was gonna have to go for broke and be brutal.  I knew I had a really strong wrestling advantage over Rachel, so I didn't see it being a problem to ultimately overpower her and tie her up, but when I do have a match like that where I have a strong advantage, I want to do something more with it and more creative, so I'll try to give myself the challenge of getting a different sort of tie or something kind of interesting.  [...]

With this match, I just kind of got started and saw what was there and what would present itself.  And immediately, almost, I found I had a rope around Rachel's waist, which is something I almost never work with.  I always go for the limbs, and having this rope around her waist, I was like, oh, well, it's there, so let me use it.

So that was how we ended up getting the crotch rope, and then once that was there, I was like, oh, I want to try to tie things down, make attachments to this waist and crotch rope, and that will be a whole different thing than what I usually do.  And it ended up both being really effective as immobilizing bondage and looking really good, so I was very proud of that.  And it fulfilled that goal I had of: let me do something a little bit extra creative, since I've got an opponent where I can kind of take some risks.

Then Rachel further impressed and delighted me by being super flexible.  Having elbows that'll touch in back and making the tie look fantastic in the end.  So, that was cool.  Kind of punched my little sadism button, I was like: now I have to tie her tighter 'cause I know that she's bendy.  Really fun.  Rachel is just a wonderful canvas for bondage.


Sircee.  Female, 5'8" and 180 lbs.  Match date Aug 30, 2014 (Released!)

You had a match with Sircee recently, which was just released, and this featured you having a handicap to start.  So, can you talk a little bit about that?

In the match with Sircee, this was a situation where, kind of like with Rachel, I knew that I had a strong wrestling advantage.  I had had a bondage wrestling match with Sircee before, where I did win.  And, not just for viewers, but for me too, I like to keep making making challenges and different circumstances, so that it's always a little bit new, which is why I decided I wanted to try the handicap with my feet tied together.

That also came from sessions and other videos I've done with different types of handicaps in the wrestling, where I have done matches with my feet tied together or my hands tied toegther.  Bondage wrestling would not work very well at all with your hands tied together, so that definitely decided which way I would go with the handicap.

And then with the Sircee match too, there was a particular tie that a fan had mentioned he'd really like to see done.  I didn't promise that I would do it, but I thought that I would try, if I could, to get this particular arms-over-the-head sort of hogtie.  So it was sort of a double set of conditions for the match.

The real trouble with the plan is that Sircee is definitely bigger than me and also very powerful, into fighting in that explosive sort of will-throw-her-weight-around way, and will almost go harder the more danger she's in.  So as I was trying to get an advantage here and get ties secured, rather than wearing Sircee down, I think it got her moving even faster.  So, my handicap proved to definitely be a really big handicap.  I was able to defend, but not able to really secure an advantage as long as my feet were tied together.

But the conditions of the match were not that my feet needed to stay tied together, just that I wasn't allowed to untie them and they had to start tied.  And it was such a really active and all-over-the-place match that they eventually came untied on their own just through all the crazy thrashing about.  At that point then, then I had a strong advantage, and I was able to get not just a tie, but the goal tie that had been requested with the arms over the head.  Not a classic hogtie at all, by any means, but I thought pretty cool for the fact that Sircee's back is pretty flexible and we got to see that really strong arch.  I admit that I did cinch that extra tight because she'd pissed me off just a little bit by being so difficult, even after it was really clear that I had the tie and it was secure and the match was definitely going to go one way.  She kept making it so difficult that I did indeed yank that final tie extra hard, to great cosmetic effect, I thought.



So that another one where the struggle was hard enough that at the end I thought, wow, that was pretty neat and a pretty good accomplishment.  I was happy and satisfied.

Anything else you'd like to say about this match?

Sircee might be the opponent that tied the most actual ropes on me, but since they were sort of in the form of a grass skirt, they didn't end up inhibiting me.  Actually, though, in the middle of the match, she was getting some different things that did inhibit me, but the match was really active, so knots were untying themselves, so nothing really stayed til the end of the match.  But a lot of people focus more on defense then offense, but a good offense is really effective as defense in bondage wrestling, so kudos to Sircee for that.


Frankie.  Male, 5'4" and 145 lbs.  Match date Sept 6, 2014 (Released!)

And your Frankie match, which I don't really have many pictures from, hasn't been released yet [edited: released on 9/20/14].  Also very active and lovely.  Can you say anything about this one?

The funny and distinct thing about the Frankie match was that he stood up more than any other person, in bondage wrestling.  He would get on his feet, he would jump away.  He was kind of acrobatic.  I would get one rope on him, and he was jumping away from me, it kind of felt like having a fish on a line.  It even made me laugh, in the midst of the match!

But as difficult as he was to catch, once he was reeled in, Frankie wasn't one who had particularly good stamina - as active and athletic as he was early on, he did kind of tire himself out and was a little more susceptible to the rope burn pain than some of the more "crazy" opponents are.  He did know when it hurt, which did slow him down.  So once I got a good starter tie on him, it was pretty quick to get the finishing tie.  He slowed right down once he felt the ropes wrapping and biting.  I was able to get a pretty nice, tight package out of Frankie in the end.


....

How would you compare these 4 matches to each other?

All were matches where I was really satisfied with the end result, I was proud of the ties.  It might be a little sacrilegious of me to say, but I kind of liked that the Twiggy one wasn't a hogtie.

Why's that?

I just feel that I do more hogties than not.

But isn't a hogtie harder to get than a ball tie?

Oh, no, absolutely not.  A hogtie, because it does bring the arms behind the back, is definitely easier.  That cuts down on the person's ability to untie themselves.  It's often really tempting to go for tying someone's wrists in front of them 'cause it's easier initially to get, but it's much harder to keep it there.  If their wrists are in front of them, their hands and fingers are in front of them, they can look at the tie and they can much more easily untie it.  So to find a way, ultimately, to tie the hands in front and not enable them to untie it is actually harder.  And so, in non-hogtie variations, when you manage to actually get someone stuck in them, there's been a lot of work that went into it, I'll just say!

So, for that reason I'm kind of the most proud of the Twiggy one [of the recent 4] because there's a pretty good formula for hogtying somebody.  The Sircee one didn't follow that, since I was going for a variation, but I feel like I do know how to hogtie somebody against resistance.  I've got a system that works, but I try not to use it too often.  The Twiggy match might have been the biggest departure from that system [compared to the other 3 matches].

Isn't the Twiggy tie the same one you used against M Li?

It happened in a different order, actually.  With M, I think I got the ankle-to-thigh tie first, and then the wrist-to-should tie, and then the elbow-to-knee tie.  But with Twiggy, I got the elbow-to-knee tie first and then built the rest of it from there.  It's true, it looked very similar in the end, but it came from a different place.


Is there any kind of new tie you wanted to try?

Some of the ties that are out there as variations I think would need other equipment.  I've wanted sometimes to bring in spreader bars to get people in completely different positions, but that's just not something I really see happening in bondage wrestling!  I have kind of wanted to do a quadraped tie that would be a variation on the wrists-to-shoulders, ankles-to-thighs.  I've always wanted to tie somebody up and prod them around.

Indra did that with Hanz in a non-competitive situation, is that right?  She made him walk on his elbows and knees.

I've always liked that idea, but Indra did indeed beat me to it, it's true.


You'd like to try getting it in a competitive situation against a resisting opponent?

That would be a bit of an accomplishment because you can get pretty close to that tie, but the problem with a competitive situation is that you've usually already made it so tight and brutal on them that they're probably not going to walk around for you, like a nice little sheep.

And you of course say the harder they fight and resist, the tighter it's going to get...

That's something I always try to warn people about.  I do bondage wrestle with all types of people, from extremely competitive to, in some cases, extremely masochistic, to, in some cases, models who aren't really wrestlers at all.  Not that bondage wrestling will especially hurt somebody, but it's not going to be as comfortable as other things.  It's funny, even when you tell somebody that if they go lighter, the bondage won't have to be as tight, there's something about the whole experience of being competitively tied up that sparks people's primal survival instinct - it's something they feel like they can't let happen.  And almost everybody will end up fighting enormously hard, even if they said they want to do something easy, lighter, beforehand.  They'll feel that sort of insinct.  You can't let and not let someone tie you up; it immediately becomes really real.  So for almost everybody, the harder you fight, the tighter the ropes will be.  And they will be really tight, for that reason.

Any final comments?

Step right up and try you're luck!
