Same.
And dear God do I love how it's taking the puss out of wrestling while also pointing out that it's awesome entertainment done wrote.
I love living in a world where the best wrestling show on TV is a 30 minute Netflix show starring Alison Brie.

Well someone had to do it, so here's my mapping of the in ring personas in the Netflix show to the old show
Zoya the Destoryer - Colonel Ninotchka
Liberty Bell - Americana (there were a few USA characters including one named Liberty, but Americana I think is the best fit)
Machu Pichu - Mount Fiji
The Beatdown Bittys - The Housewives
Junk Chain - Justice
Melrose - Hollywood
Beirut - Palestina
Britannica - Zelda the Brain
The She Wolf - Dementia
Scab - MTV
Vicky Viking - Matilda the Hun
Fortune Cookie - Little Fiji
The Welfare Queen - Big Bad Mama (I guess?)

Episode 1 was amazing. Wasn't expecting to like this. Came for the Brie, stayed for the awesome.

You think someone called "Britannica" is Australian?

the guy interviewed obama while he was president in his own garage.
it's probably his first legitimate acting thing, but maron's been very famous/influential for years.

Kate McKinnon would be great in this show. I could totally see her playing the limo driver chick.
Anyway, finished episode 3. Show's still great, though the

Yes it was. But that episode 2 stuff goes away and the show gets way better.
I mean, it's not like it was gonna have any competition with RAM or Impact.
yeah I found that weird. Didn't really get what they were going for with all of that.
I think there are warning signs that this could become bad already, it's got a certain style to it that I associate with Jenji Kohan, although I know she's just a producer on this and isn't writing it. I kind of don't like her as a writer, uh, at all, despite the fact her shows tend to have interesting set ups.
Hopefully it stays good though. The subject matter is pretty unique, and it's been funnier than I expected it to be so far, which is promising. It's hokey though, for sure, could easily go off the deep end with that.
I'm feeling optimistic about GLOW's future for two reasons.
1. Alison Brie is a better leading star than the actress who plays Piper. Brie has more acting range than Taylor Schilling.
2. Jenji Kohan (Weeds, Orange is the New Black) isn't the showrunner or creator.

Sam continually not understanding how to get in/out of the ring is my aesthetic
Steele Horse had more charisma than his entire WWE and NXT run combined.
