It's also on Netflix in the States now. A great human interest film, let alone one about wrestling.

I saw it when it first came out on dvd. I had a crush on Hollywood as a kid but damn did she go overboard with plastic surgery.

Just watched it. Really great doc on one of the fed's that doesn't get talked about much anymore.
Glad you posted this, because I was just on a GLOW/WOW kick one night last week. As low rent as both of those fed's seemed, the wrestlers were so much better than today's Divas.

Probably my favorite wrestling documentary of the year, and one of the best ever made. I've also found it's a great way to introduce people who've never seen wrestling into the weird carnival that it truly is.
I hope Ivory gets in the Hall of Fame someday.

I just watched this and... wow. This documentary is awesome! Really heartwarming and I'm interested in watching GLOW whenever I have time.

I just started watching the doc last night, I'm up to the part on Mt. Fiji. I know her story now and it's sad, but good to see her in good spirits. BBM lost a lot of weight, hard to see considering she'd soon pass away. And Chainsaw (Spike?) had/has cancer? Does Tina mention her time as Ivory later on? Is Babe the only Farmer's Daughter to be interviewed? (wish Trudy Adams would have been on as well...) |

As for Ivory: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Tina doesn't discuss her role as Ivory, but it's implied that she was the one that broke it big. In the Epilogue, there is a black screen that explains that she went on to have success as Ivory in the WWF. |

Wow! That was terrific. I never got the chance to see GLOW in it's heyday, nor did I know Ivory got her start there.
Very well done documentary. Compliments to the filmmakers
