For those of you who fondly remember the 80s women's wrestling show GLOW, here's a trailer for Jimmy Hart's upcoming series called Wrestlicious. It will seem like a bad flashback for the rest of us. But the good news is that idiot David McLane isn't involved. The bad news is Hart seems to be using the same stale gimmicks. The one name you will recognize is Lacey Von Erich. Of course she is the daughter of the late Kerry Von Erich. She was in WWE developmental for a while but reports indicate that she didn't pick up wrestling very well and was released. She has been training at Booker T's school in Houston. She's more model than wrestler. They've obviously shot a pilot and claim that they will debut in the fall but syndication of this kind of show is very difficult to sell today. Their website isn't up yet but I would like to know how many markets have been sold. It looks like the kind of show that will turn up at 3AM on regional sports networks. The concept seems very dated to me so I don't expect it to be successful. Check out the trailer.
That was funny. It'll be utter crap if it actually makes air, but as a two minute Youtube, it was a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteThis is what we need (sarcasm) another updated GLOW to show another generation what isn't women's pro wrestling. And just when we got them off the original GLOW with all the fine indies, Japan and Mexico to mention a few that do show pro women's wrestling the way it should be. I hope this doesn't make it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke. I think I'll stick to Shimmer and whatever classic Joshi I still need to watch.
ReplyDeleteGLOW version 2 for sure! I wonder if it'll be as bad as Women of Wrestling or WEW.
