Moderators PowerButchi Posted May 21, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 21, 2017 GLOW of course is mostly notable for Jackie Stallone busting out the worst rap of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotten in the ring, but I think it's genuinely fun in a mad way. The Housewives are super fun. I love the sheer gall of calling a character Palastina too.  The documentary is well worth a punt. AWA Superclash 3 is on the Network, and features a Battle Royal of all the stars of "POWW", David McLane's follow-up to GLOW. It's hyped up to an absurd degree through the whole show, and it's abysmal. By this point, Palestina is simply known as "The Terrorist" or "The Syrian Terrorist".  Bloody hell, according to Wiki, David McLane was still at it with "Women Of Wrestling" up to last year at least.

theringmaster Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Although all exposure is good, I do worry this will make Womens Wrestling some 'hipster thing' (more so than it already is).  I'm trying to be positive because i think it will be an excellent series but I worry it will be a 'more harm than good' situation for wrestling.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will make Women's wrestling that much more popular. But to be honest, anyone interested in this may be inclined to check out wrestling products. My wife is interested in this show but won't normally watch wrestling with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pier Six Brawler Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I'm looking forward to this, it will likely be the best wrestling sit-com of all time. Even better than "Learning the Ropes" and the BBC's "Rumble". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theringmaster Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 So it premiers this Friday on Netflix....is that a worldwide release does anybody know? I'm actually quite hyped for the show now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pier Six Brawler Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I believe it is going to be on UK netflix on Friday. Can someone post on here to confirm this as I will be subscribing specifically for this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yeah it will be. When I logged on last night it was the first thing to pop up saying "coming June 23rd". If you've got Netflix on a console it should play a trailer with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlondonmist Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I watched the 1st episode of GLOW from 1986 and it was hilarious. If they did that style show today but with people who could wrestle it would be great. In some matches they put moves on slomo 300 style and it is just silly as hell. I wonder how much research into this tv show there was done to show how training, rehearsals and production was run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually kinda already have...about 6/7 years ago a US Lotto winner started his own womens promotion which was essentially a love letter to GLOW called Wrestlicious. It got panned and only lasted one season. Blue pants, Lacey Von Erich, Amber O'Â Neal amongst the roster. Jimmy Hart had a role in it somewhere also. In terms of training for Netflix GLOW, Chavo trained all the women up and was on set at all time for advice, there are a few behind the scenes features kicking around online where you can see them do training, it looks all very well done.

icwkev Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Quick question... Hogan v Flair on the TV... that was from 1991 right? But edited to look like 86 WWF 302lbs Hogan vs 1986 NWA Ric Flair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted June 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2017 I think so. Definitely wasn't WWF Flair on the entrance. Two episodes in, and really enjoying it. Also, as a nice little Easter egg, on the walls in the gym just out of focus you can see 'Chavo's' on the wall. Given he trained them I wonder whether it's legit his school they filmed in, or if it's just a nod to Chavo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV and movie makers do that kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
