GLOW: The Story of The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling

Have any of you Netflix GLOW fans seen this documentary about the real GLOW? I just finished it (it’s also on Netflix) and I can’t help but wonder if the creators saw this doc and decided to fictionalize it — many of the characters from the Netflix dramedy series are lifted virtually straight from the real show or at least heavily based on them.

After watching the doc I liked and appreciated many of these girls, although let’s admit a lot of them are sort of low-rent. But the fans — who watched this shit? I’m guessing every single one of them would be trump supporters today.

Anyway I think the doc is a must see for GLOW completists. And now I know how the series will finally end (damn you Pia Zadora!).

Wish it was more exciting somehow. Didn't make it too far into the first season.

Wait, wait. You mean to tell me many of the characters from the TV series GLOW about the female wrestling group from the 80s, are based on actual wrestlers from GLOW the female wrestling group from the 80s?

You must be pullin my leg.
