Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling

In the 1980s, wrestling was very popular on TV. This was the big time for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Superstars like Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant performed in the wrestling ring. Each WWF star had a story. They didn’t just fight, they also acted for the audience. WWF men were so popular that there was also a women’s wrestling show, called GLOW.

The acronym GLOW stands for Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Now, there is a Netflix TV show that throws back to this 1980’s trend. The new GLOW shows how hard these women worked to play the roles of beautiful, yet dangerous wrestlers. Not only did they have colorful leotards and lovely feathered hair, but also they worked hard to have strong bodies and good acting skills.
