You May Not Know It, But Coleslaw Wrestling is a Real Thing

Yes, I’ll admit that I am one of those pervs who has fantasized about women wrestling in assorted condiments and foodstuffs–everything from that old standby, Jello, to hot oil, to warm oatmeal.  But coleslaw?  Never once considered it as a suitable forum for wrestling ladies.

But it is.  And at the risk of generalizing a segment of the population, it seems very popular amongst the biker redneck niche.  Why do I say that?  Because  the coleslaw wrestling tournament is held annually during Bike Week, the 10-day festival that attracts a huge number of bikers to Daytona Beach, a gathering that dates back to 1937.

Of course, like any great sport, coleslaw wrestling has its champion.

And that champion is a 27-year-old mother from Volusia County by the name of Heather Spears.  Make that 9-time defending champion Heather Spears, who is undefeated in her last nine tournaments held at, and I’m not making this up,  Sopotnick’s Cabbage Patch Bar in Samsula.  The tourneys are part of Bike Week, and a second festival called Biketoberfests.

While this is Spears’ fifth year wrestling, the tournament itself dates back to 1985.  That marked the first time two bikini-clad women squared off in a pit of vegetable oil and cabbage, while hundreds of horny bikers cheer them on in the hopes that some or all of the participants clothing comes off.

Two women enter, one women leaves–naked, oily and smelling of cabbage.

And if you’re thinking that Spears’ is a one-dimensional wrestling champ, think again.  Not only is she undefeated in cabbage, she’s also triumphed in the pudding and creamed-corn wrestling events.

An impressive resume to say the least.
