GLOW - LezWatch.TV

Overview

An out-of-work actress in LA finds a chance at stardom, but it involves more glitter and spandex then she was perhaps expecting.

Enter the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling!

Joining 12 other Hollywood misfits, the ladies are led by a washed-up B-Movie director as they body slam their way to fame. The drama is on and off the mat, as the ladies are in-persona basically 24-7. Personalities collide and clothesline as the ladies double and triple cross each other in the name of ratings.

The show is a dramatized version of the story behind the real women’s professional wrestling show that ran from 1986 to 1992.

Queer Plotline Timeline
