Pilot for "Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling" Being Worked on for Netflix

GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) owner Ursula Hayden, also known as Babe The Farmer's Daughter, announced on Facebook earlier this week that she signed a deal for a full new season of GLOW TV on Netflix. No other details were given but Diva-Dirt reports that Jenji Kohan, the creator of hit shows Orange Is The New Black and Weeds, is set to begin working on the series. It was also indicated that they are working on a pilot but the full season has not been confirmed yet.

GLOW will apparently tell the tale of a struggling actress in the 1980's, who lands a role on a cult women's wrestling show - GLOW. The Netflix series will focus on the actress struggling through the "many highs and lows of the (not so) glamorous world of wrestling."

Kohan is executive producing while Carly Mensch (Nurse Jackie, Weeds) and Liz Flahive (Nurse Jackie, Homeland) will be writing the pilot.

What does everyone think of Leva Bates also known as Blue Pants? I've checked out a lot of her indy work and I was underwhelmed. :ld:

She's mediocre at best and needs a lot of work. Ain't much else to it.

I feel the same way. Plus her nerd pandering can get extra corny. She's been in the business for almost 10 years so she's probably not going to improve anymore.

What made you curious enough to do that? :skip:

1 NXT appearance was more than I wanted.

Are you watching Stardom?

I was watching a bunch of Shine and Shimmer events and she appeared on a lot of them. I wasn't really actively searching for her matches.
