GLOW was a Women pro wrestling promotion operating in the United States, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
The GLOW promotion was founded on December 5, 1985 by David B. McLane, and it ceased operations on November 2, 1991.
Known for its colorful characters, strong female athletes, and comedic sketches, GLOW featured performers who were often actresses, models, dancers, or stunt women aiming for a career in show business.
In 2017, Netflix premiered a scripted comedy-drama TV series also named GLOW, created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch. The series, starring Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, and Marc Maron, is a fictionalized portrayal of the 1980s wrestling promotion, inspired by the real GLOW.
