The acronym GLOW means Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. In the 1980s, this was a popular TV show. Strong women wore colorful leotards and had beautiful feathered hair. They fought each other just like the men in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).

Now, there is a Netflix TV show about the women of GLOW. It is campy and fun to watch. Many people enjoy remembering the 1980s while watching it.

I don´t like the wrestling shows, I haven`t watched anyone because they looks me too campy. Besides I´ve always thought that GLOW (the feminine wrestling) it´s too sexist because men usually like see gorgeouse and busty women fighting in a ring.

There is a movie, starred by Gerard Butler, he was a TV show guy out there. I remember the scene when during the GLOW fight he’s got involved. That was a hilarious moment.


The Ugly Truth is the movie name.
