My Wrestlicious/GLOW Rant

[dannyrctv]

I haven't been on here for a while so I'm assuming there's all ready been some threads about this? I'm talking about Wrestlicious a carbon Copy of that awful Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (G.L.O.W.) in the late 80's.
I just found out from former GLOW wrestler "Hollywood" that the same people that were behind GLOW are involved with Wrestlicious.so I cant's call it a complete rip off.Another old freind of mine super model Lana Kinnear(who also wrestled in WOW) is performing as Malibu Mckenzie and kind of a rip off of Hollywood's character. They also have a farm girl like GLOW's "Farmer's Daughter"

From what little it shows of the girls wrestling, looks like the wrestling is top notch but then again that's bad.

I initially hated GLOW when I saw it on TV in the late 80's because I originally tuned in with the expectation of watching a serious wrestling show in the vain of the NWA. I hated what WWF had done to wrestling going way too mainstream,commercial and destroying kayfabe by doing lame backstage comedy skits on "Saturday Night's Main Event" and basically exposed themselves as frauds from the days when it was played off to be "real"

GLOW was very much the same but worse! But if I watch it with a sense of humor,not take it seriously and get off on the T&A, then I get it! But still the comedy was so corny and painfully cheesy but that was the intention right?

Also I notice when I watch old GLOW clips on You Tube I notice the wrestling itself was top notch all the way! Kind of pisses me off because with talent like that those girls deserved better and should have had their skills displayed on a real wrestling show where they would have all gotten the respect you deserved!

The no talent WWE divas of today should've been on GLOW and they should be on Wrestlicious! It just ticks me off how they got these hot super model types they try to fool us in to thinking they can wrestle! It's so insulting! You can count on one hand the girls in WWE that can actually work and those are the ones they have do most of the jobbing!

You ever watch a a Divas match especially when 2 no talents like Kelly Kelly or Michelle McCool wrestle each other? Notice how the crowd is dead silent durring their matches? It's even worse when you're there live! I usually heckle those bimbos by shouting "Nice WRESTLING move!" or "WEAK!"

At least TNA has brought credibility back to Women's wrestling. Now there's some hot babes that you can call WRESTLERS! I'm so glad Victoria is there now where her talents will be appreciated and not have to job or tap out in 2 minutes to someone like Kelly Kelly!

So, so far Wrestlicious looks like they have some talented girls or at least I hope. But I got to tell you, Lacy Von Erich?? Her dad,uncles and grandfather must be turning in their graves! That's heritage and tradition that should be put on a more serious platform, not a comedy show! This may be cold to say but the Von Erichs also have a suicide legacy so I guess Lacy is going to commit career suicide OOOHHHH!!!!!

So again I'd rather see talented female wrestlers getting pushed in the big leagues and no talents like the divas demoted to something like Wrestlicous! I could be more forgiving of their lack of in ring ability!

To be fair, Michelle is getting better I feel, and I've said it before, is the best diva search/random model that has come around WWE. Kelly Kelly, is, well.....she has great sympathy, lol. I can't take that away from her.

It's weird. With wrestling, there's always one extreme or another, and women's wrestling seems to be no exception. With Shimmer, which has a lot of great wrestlers and great wrestling, they lack character depth, and have similar characters and similar kinds of characters for the most part, with some exceptions here and there. That's one extreme. The other is the playing up of looks instead of wrestling, which puts WWE at the other end of the spectrum, where Glow and Wrestlicious get a bit better then WWE because, as you were talking about earlier, some of the matches were pretty good.

As for the Lacey Von Erich comment, keep in mind that she's making money from this, as are all the other women doing this, so that's why it's being done. If that was the case, then Daizee Haze and all the other girls would be committing career suicide.
