Women mud wrestle at the Sand Box Lounge in Phoenix, Arizona in 1980. During the late 1970s and 1980s, many clubs came up with weird ways to entertain clients besides just attractive women stripping. A major reason for this was the mass production of nude magazines and the expansion of pornography. Strip clubs struggled to make money and as with any business, owners tried wild new ways to keep customers and to entertain. These gimmicks were entertaining and fun at first, but most patrons didn't care for them after a while, and they mostly died out by the early 1990s. Some places still do such things, but they are few and far between.
