Netflix officially launched their new television show GLOW and the internet loved it. They especially loved Alison Brie’s acting and the overall story of the show.
GLOW has been a smashing success and is sure to be renewed for additional seasons at this point. It looks like Jengi Kohan has done it again. She moved from a pot-dealing mom with Weeds to a prison full of women with Orange Is The New Black. Now GLOW seems destined to make it a trifecta for the 47-year-old showbiz wiz.
But as everyone talks about the new Netflix sensation, others remember the original GLOW promotion and it is leaving a bad taste in their mouth to give this new show a try. Although this new incarnation is somewhat fictionalized, Jim Cornette doesn’t want to give it a chance because he remembers the initial show and he hated it.
Cornette called the OG GLOW television show “a godd-mn clown show f-cking parody of wrestling” on a recent episode of Jim Cornette’s Drive-Thru. He went on to discuss the fact that he didn’t like that the girls were executing moves somewhat like the boys did but they were doing them in a way where you could tell how they were worked. He also made it very clear he wasn’t being sexist, he just hates bad wrestling.
Cornette continued to discuss his resentment for the show as he viewed it as an embarrassment to the pro wrestling business.
“The first time I saw it I said, ‘this is not gonna be good’ and of course history has born it wasn’t. Because more people went in that f-cking direction. So yeah, I hated it — despised the thought of it. And they had an independent station in Charlotte that every night at like eleven o’clock ran a different territory’s wrestling show but [GLOW] was one of them. It just — ah f-uck. It just, it was so embarrassing”
