This episode features special guest the Royal Hawaiian from GLOW. The 1980's saw an explosive interest in professional wrestling. While the World Wrestling Federation became the top promotion worldwide, there were a number of independent territorial promotions that were also popular. One that rose to prominence was GLOW -an all female promotion that aired in syndicated markets nationally.
The Royal Hawaiian was one of the original Glow Girls and was the second to hold the GLOW Crown -the promotion's equivalent of the world championship. Moreover, she held the crown longer than any other competitor and was the first heel champ. Today, there is a cult following and interest from widespread niche audiences across the internet and social media. Netflix has series that chronicles the promotion. On this episode, we don't cover the GLOW promotion in it's entirety, but we do learn about how it came to be and the process where the roster was established. We also talk about current events surrounding The Royal Hawaiian and we are also joined by Otto Von Clutch - an emerging professional wrestler she manages.
