Hold Me Tight

It's time for wrestling tryouts, and for some reason the radio station is covering them. There's a new girl in town, and she wants to try out for the team. Girls can't wrestle! Duh. And Coach Sonski agrees. But apparently that's not fair. Ugh.

KKTY takes up the cause and heads to the airwaves. During her segment of "Spano Speaks," Jessie says some pretty slanderous things. Sonski and Belding earn the prestigious "Double Swine" award. Clever. This leads to a bunch of girls picketing wrestling practice. It's absolute pandemonium in the gym. Belding caves, and Christy is allowed to wrestle. Ugh.

Christy wants Slater to "show her some of his best moves." Oooooohh! Zack heads into the girls' locker room for an exclusive interview. Lisa is spreading gossip again, and she eavesdrops on the new couple. Also, Belding barges into the locker room looking for Morris, and he may or may not sexually harass a member of the swim team.

Lisa goes on air and talks about a hot new couple, and Jessie assumes it's Slater and Christy. They're in the gym practicing, and she comments how strong Slater is. And Jessie just happens to see the whole thing.

Cut to the Max. Some wrestler from Valley (No, it's not Nedick) shows up and assaults Zack. Good thing his girlfriend was there to rescue him. How humiliating. Even the nerds seem to think so.

Jessie is back on the air and she's completely flipped her position on girls on the wrestling mat. Slater's pissed. And Christy can't believe it. And Zack feels emasculated. He ends things with she-man Christy. It seems Zack can't handle dating a girl wrestler, and she quits the team. Don't worry though; Zack and Jessie quickly see the error of their ways, and Christy is back on the team.

It's time for the big meet against Valley. Slater squashes his opponent (again, not Nedick), and it all comes down to Christy's match. And it just happens to be against the dude who assaulted Zack at the Max. She's in trouble, until Zack advises her to "use the hold you used at the Max!" She quickly reverses things and pins him. Bayside wins! And we never see Christy Barnes again.

Also, today we find out that the pizza delivery guy in "Home Alone" played a nerd in Saved by the Bell. Awesome.

QUOTES!

Coach Sonski: This is a gym, not a Jane.

Coach Sonski: You wanna wrestle with the girls? Date 'em!

Coach Sonski: You worked on the full nelson and the half nelson. Why don't you show her the Willie Nelson? That's a "country and wrestling" joke!
