The Alamo Drafthouse theater in Los Angeles will be playing the excellent 2012 documentary GLOW - The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling on Tuesday 3/14 at 8 PM and Wednesday 3/15 at 8 PM.
Promotional material for the film, which traces the history of Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, which was a hit via syndication in the late 1980s:
"Body slams aren't just for male wrestlers! In 1986, the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling rose to fame as the first television show featuring female wrestlers - and these ladies were feisty! Within a few years, GLOW become an international phenomenon, entertaining millions of viewers worldwide with its unique characters, elaborate costumes and engaging skits. This documentary follows the stories of several of the original GLOW wrestlers as they rose and fell. And fell. And fell."
The promotion ran for several syndicated seasons on TV from 1986-1990, later inspiring the Netflix series of the same initials.
