GLOW…The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
How can you even begin to explain the “cultiness” of this show?
You either loved it or hated it.
I really don’t think there was an in-between.
The weird thing is, that you would figure guys would be the die-hard GLOW fans, but a lot of women liked the show as well, and I have heard several female pro wrestlers today say that GLOW inspired them to become wrestlers.
In case you dont know what GLOW is, it was a female wrestling (and I’m using the term VERY loosely) promotion that was created by David B. McLane in the mid 1980s.
McLane himself is kind of a puzzle.
Most bios you see about him just look like press releases.
( You gotta wonder about the similarity in the names David B. McLane and Vincent K. McMahon…)
He is a native of Indianapolis, a graduate of Indiana University and is said to have grown up watching wrestling.
McLane started a fan club for the famous wrestler Dick the Bruiser as a teenager and wound up working for the Bruiser’s wrestling promotion.
