The Very Best of GLOW on DVD
I was thrilled to see a GLOW DVD at my local Best Buy and I did like it, but for a title like "The Very Best of GLOW", I was disappointed. It was ONE EPISODE from Season 4 with two bonus matches. GLOW had two rosters, one in seasons 1 and 2 and another in seasons 3 and 4. Season 1 was the best in my opinion and they should release the complete first season as a set. I loved Americana, Olympia, Ebony, Tammy Jones, Sally the Farmer's Daughter, California Doll, Little Egypt, the Fiji sisters, Tina Ferrari and Ashley Cartier. The bad girls were really nasty--Colonel Ninotchka, Palestina, The Heavy Metal Sisters, Sara and Mabel, Matilda the Hun, The Head Hunters, Attache, Spanish Red, The Housewives and the Princess of Darkness. The second season was a continuation of season one but without several of the original cast members, adding only a few new girls (Amy the Farmer's Daughter, Angel, Dementia and Sugar). In fact, the bad girls outnumbered the good girls! The only good parts of season 2 were Lisa Moretti (Tina Ferrari aka Ivory of the WWE) and Ninotchka suffering her first defeat (at the time she was THE MOST HATED GLOW GIRL). Season 3 brought in the "new regime"--they were OK, but after watching the DVD I had forgotten how annoying Gremlina, Tiffany Mellon and unseen commentator Motor Mouth Mike Morgan were!! My favorite moment from then was when Daisy finally ditched Gremlina and joined the good girls. The last episode in 1990 saw Daisy win the crown. Extras include clippings from the old GLOW Magazine (I still have issues 2 through 6!)
I loved GLOW and it deserved better DVD treatment than this. I credit GLOW for getting me into the WWE!! In my area it was on at 12Midnight Saturdays after WWE Wrestling Challenge.
