History Wrestling / GLOW

Back in the 1980s when Pro Wrestling was experiencing its first proper boom, an outrageous television show produced by Johnny Cafarella and David [=McClane=] came onto the scene. An all women's show featuring mad and outlandish characters, comedy skits and of course plenty of beautiful women with some actual wrestling thrown in too, ''GLOW'' ran for four seasons and continued in various forms after it left television. The most notable alumna of the ''GLOW'' roster is Lisa Moretti who played Tina Ferrari and who went on to become 3-time [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-wm.html WWE Women's Champion]] Wrestling/{{Ivory}}.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The show's three most notable successors were ''Powerful Women of Wrestling'' (POWW) which was more wrestling-based, ''Women of Wrestling'' (WOW) which was a trainwreck that went dormant after one year in 2001 but made a surprising return in 2012 and ''Wrestling/{{Wrestlicious}}'' which was a little bit of both, airing for one year and being very silly but also putting on better matches more consistently than WWE's Divas or TNA's Knockouts were that year. Others include LPWA and CRUSH.

* ActingForTwo: Several girls doubled up and played different characters.

** BigGood: Jackie Stallone

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Mt Fiji and Matilda The Hun make good uses of this.

* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: At least according to {{media watchdog}}s who tried to prevent the airing of the nazi heels practically torturing Little Fiji.

* FetishRetardant: The Housewives. See SexyWhateverOutfit below.

* GenkiGirl: The Cheerleaders of course.

* RealLifeRelative: The Heavy Metal Sisters were played by actual sisters.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The show had three such successors, the first being ''Powerful Women of Wrestling'' (POWW) which was more wrestling-based, ''Women of Wrestling'' (WOW) which was a trainwreck and ''Wrestling/{{Wrestlicious}}'' which was a little bit of both.

* TheCheerleader: Debbie Debutante, Susie Spirit and Vicki Victory.

* AllAmericanFace: Americana. Spanish Red was heel that hated Americana but she would not tolerate desecration of the American flag, which gave her a (brief) face turn.

* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles

* SublimeRhyme

* [[ManBitesMan Woman Bites Woman]]: Attache, to Tina Ferrari in their submission match to break Tina's figure-four leglock.

* BoyishShortHair: Ninotchka, Major Tanya and Attache.

* EightiesHair: Oh good God yes. But then, it ''was'' the 1980s.

* EightiesHair: Oh good God yes.

** The Princess of Darkness was billed from Parts Unknown

* ThrowItIn: Godiva sarcastically suggested a for a horse to ride during her entrance. Management got her one.

* UnderminedByReality: The documentary revealed a lot of behind the scenes stuff that tarnishes the show's happy-go-lucky camp factor. For example the girls had to wrestle in a boxing ring (much harder than a wrestling ring), there were fines for staying out late and the director loved to yell.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Godiva wavers between a British cockney accent and a generic Australian one.
* TheOtherDarrin: Different girls played Dementia, Liberty and Corporal Kelly.
* PainfulRhyme: David [=McClane=] in his rap - "for all these girls I'm a ''saint''/because they're money in my ''bank''".
