• Lots of GLOW girls were replaced, largely when McLane left and started POWW. Ursula Hayden portrayed the new "Farmer's Daughter," Babe.

• Tiffany Mellon, became Tiffany Million, porn star. --David Bixenspan 17:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

This article incorrectly uses the term "angle" when obviously refering to a wrestler's gimmick. A gimmick is a wrestler's character, including costumes and props. An angle is part of a storyline usually involving two or more wrestlers.

Improving the article

The main page of this article could be improved by listing the cable companies that broadcast the program.

Did some cable companies have to pay more for broadcasting rights than other cable companies?

Was GLOW ever broadcast on ABC, CBS, or NBC? 216.99.219.89 (talk) 22:34, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

The show was not on cable per se: It was in national syndication, meaning individual local broadcast stations purchased the program and inserted into their program schedule at different times. Network TV stations have a commitment to run programs sent out by the network, usually at the specific times the network sends them. They then fill the remainder of their schedule with syndicated shows (like Entertainment Tonight or Wheel of Fortune), movies, reruns and local productions like news or sports. Other stations have no network and fill their entire schedule with those kind of programs. With the advent of cable, there are lots of networks. In the late 80's there were far fewer cable networks. TV was dominated by broadcast outlets. Each station tried to program their schedule to attract the biggest possible audience, by giving them what they want when they want it. GLOW was on one station in each of about 160 Media markets. GLOW was not on a network at any point in time. Trackinfo (talk) 23:04, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Where any of the wrestlers replaced and kept the same name? I met someone who says she used to be Hollywood but she is not the original one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sugarmarie87 (talk • contribs) 09:57, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Overall subjective writing and poor citing

I am going to work where I can, but there is a lot of subjective and unproven content.

A perfect case is the 4th paragraph in "Original promotion" regarding Lauri Thompson. There was a wrestler named Susie Spirit and there is a lawyer named Lauri Thompson, but there is no citation connecting the two. Maybe its in Documentary. If so that should be cited. not her law firm's home page, which does not connect her at all to GLOW. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.98.163.174 (talk) 16:00, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm adding an additional source. Trackinfo (talk) 16:30, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

It WAS called G.L.O.W.W. without a doubt . They seem to be actively trying to erase the original name from history and the internet . But us REAL fans know

It was without a doubt called G.L.O.W.W. . And No I do not believe in the dumb and fake Mandela Effect . Lol . From what I remember , it was called that for most if not the whole time the company was on TV and in business . The obvious and most likely reason for altering the official name they went by is that the extra W is redundant . You don't really need it in there because the L had already established that it was women , but I guess they wanted to stress that is was WOMEN'S wrestling . A little confusing I guess. It is very VERY weird that they are obviously trying to erase the original name from history and the internet . All I could find was comment from an ex GLOWW and WWF / WWE wrestler who still used the right and full title of it . I am NOT a troll and am not making this up .96.233.52.166 (talk) 14:34, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

You are wrong from the very basics. The official logo does not contain the extra "W" or extra word. You are trying to spread false information and wikipedia will not be a part of that. Trackinfo (talk) 16:26, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

BLOW

My Name Is Earl (season 2) featured a fictional wrestling outfit called “Black Ladies Of Wrestling” (BLOW). This is obviously a reference to GLOW; does it deserve mention in this article? 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:121B (talk) 01:50, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
