    Angry Classic Woman's Wrestling Show Becoming Original Netflix Comedy

    Most wrestling fans may remember The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (G.L.O.W.) syndicated television series that aired on back in the late 1980s to early 1990s. If you don’t remember G.L.O.W., it was a women’s wrestling promotion that was based out of Las Vegas and it was different as far as it’s presentation of women’s wrestling.

    The mainstream World Wrestling Federation (WWF) was known for it’s over-the-top characters during that time period and G.L.OW. was also known for their vast roster of outrageous female characters. In addition to the colorful characters and traditional wrestling angles, what made G.L.O.W. stand out at the time was their unique comedic sketches that put the characters and the in-ring action over-the-top and made the show a success for 4 straight seasons.

    What was so special about G.L.O.W. which is made apparent in the 2011 documentary GLOW: The Story of The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling is the close bond and relationships that these ladies developed with one another. This documentary which is featured on Netflix has inspired Jenji Kohan who is the creator/executive producer of the Netflix original hit series Orange is the New Black.

    Alison Brie will play the lead roll in this comedic series and she is no stranger to the comedic genre in film and television as she is known for her roles as Annie Edison in the sitcom Community and as Alissa in Get Hard alongside Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart.

    It is also interesting to note that former WWE Superstar (current Lucha Underground star) and member of the legendary Guerrero wrestling family, Chavo Guerrero, has been hired to train the cast of the show.
