The excitement of mud wrestling arises from a number of factors. Firstly, the mud provides a glorious sheen on the bodies of the wrestlers which accentuates their attractiveness. Secondly, the randomness of the fight allows for more unconventional glimpses of the wrestlers' bodies than in normal striptease. Thirdly, the fight usually results in the accidental, or deliberate, removal of the wrestlers' bikinis, with the expected rise in audience excitement. Fourthly, there is an obvious pseudo-lesbianism to the wrestling.
