Wouldn't Elly Mae be disqualified every time she wrassled?


Since high school wrestling is a very different style than country wrassling wouldn't Elly Mae have to learn to only use legal moves instead of cheating as she did when she took on the wrestling captain? Also, maybe everyone forgot but boys and girls can't wrestle on the same team. Her big ole boobs would get in the way...hmmm, come to think of it she'd be very popular and the guys would want her on their team.

Yes, she would have to learn but I guess her match with Derek was just an exhibition match because everything she did was illegal especially the "Hickory Nut Crunch" URGH you know that hurt even if he had a cup.

Derek and her should have just made love. That wrestling boy was fine. Derek and Elly Mae would have made a cute couple.

when i was in Jr high women were allowed to wrestle on the same team with men.

It was obviously not an official game as it was held during the practise. She was probably though of the legal wrestling after she joined the team.
And while men and women don't wrestle against each other it's not that uncommon to not have everyone on the same team.

She applied the hickory nut crunch to the bear at the beginning of the movie.

Say, do you hear that? It's the sound of the Reaper.....
