Glow - Gorgeous woman of wrestling (‘Sisterhood of 80s)

As a child I grew up in late 80s when wrestling craze was at its peak... men and children alike just like cricket obsession about stars, their fights, their characters and their stories. I remember playing trump card game with siblings and friends where we fought over better body measures of characters of wrestlers - Hulk hogan, Macho man, Undertaker and Yokozuna were our favorites. Their weight, breadth, length, measures of biceps, no of matches and wins were our propositions for victory. It was a decent math game based on these characters. Further we had favorite cards basis our favorite characters and we waited for the big matches and story lines. We discussed and shared back stories and predictions on the story line, say was undertaker really a dead man and slept in coffin. We would wait for the watches. We heard stories of our fufaji who watched the same in USA. It was a truly global phenomenon and I was quite engaged given that I grew up in house of boys. My brothers experimented various wrestling moves with each other and then someone jumped in to count 1..2..3 as soon as someone pinned another down. This was also what they tried most on me. I was like Carmen in the show Glow with two big brothers who were actual wrestlers and she was constantly bullied but still loved to fight like a girl in wrestling. Except I had no wrestling skills so I was just the Guinea pigs for their shenanigans. Boys fought seriously, whereas little sisters were just lighter versions of play things. Anyways i survived all this childhood trauma but confrontation and pinning each other down continues to be constant amongst our siblings only it’s verbal and I now have come backs too. 

So childhood wrestling memories mixed with women and sisterhood stories, which keep you hooked and loving the drama. It’s a daily soap mixed with wrestling and colorful stage drama. 

A struggling emotionally confused actress, a beautiful strong blonde motherhood trying to find her place in a man’s world. The best friend fucks husband drama, anger, divorce and forgiveness journey

A fading art director who made scandalising stories and films on his own terms now gets to direct these crazy mix of women in a wrestling drama while stumbling into fatherhood. 

The wolf lady with a literal mask as shield from the world. The search for her identity and finding a place to belong. There is a place for all of us, even the crazy and lost. 

The black old lady with her desire to act and perform while managing respectful motherhood. 

The horny pretty lady with a husky voice who acts as the nymph of the gang, always coming out with sarcastic bitchy humor whose sexuality is blatantly out there.

The aspiring producer, the scion of a rich family with an overpowering mother, with confused sexuality, with his love for art and wrestling. 

The Indian, the Cambodian, the Mexican, the British nationalities in this cultural potpourri of real sisterhood. 

I remember once someone told me in my workplace, “ that you have to be a little crazy to be in this women team.” And you see this coming true in the show, as they choose their characters - the American darling Liberty Belle, the heel villain Zoya, the Russian, the machu pichu, welfare queen, the wolf Sheila, the Britannica girl, the old twin biddies. I loved each of them, some strong, some elemental, and some just plain fun and crazy.  Each expressing and exhibiting their inner craziness on the fighting ring, they worked hard, they acted, they brought humor and drama to their characters, with twists and turns of a Hollywood or must I say Bollywood film. I understand why we all love a cheesy drama film, and this show has all these elements. Men may avoid it given the women and drama overdose, the vulnerability of a women dominated show can reflect away from their skin but then again men also appreciate a decent emotional story with significant dose of chutzpah. So explore the depths of this show and there will be moments of smile, laughter, heart warming, empathy and vulnerability as you relate to struggles of motherhood, fatherhood, love, divorce, anger, betrayals, acceptance, ambition, and womenhood.
