Log Posted July 4, 2018 Report Posted July 4, 2018 If you all haven’t already, check out Stevens on Maron’s WTF podcast. I’m the same episode has Chavo Jr as his other guest. Steven’s has a fascinating story of how she came into wrestling. Quote
C.S. Posted July 5, 2018 Report Posted July 5, 2018 Another great interview here with Kia Stevens on GLOW, her hair on the show, the origins of the Kong name, her mother's experience as an actor, and more. https://www.theringer.com/tv/2018/7/3/17527216/kia-stevens-glow-season-two Quote
Johnny Sorrow Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 Episode 7, the hospital one,is the best half hour of pro wrestling in forever. Quote

Coffey Posted July 7, 2018 Report Posted July 7, 2018 If anyone has animated .gif making capabilities I would love one of Kong sipping the tea! Quote
BrianB Posted July 13, 2018 Report Posted July 13, 2018 I've got to watch the last episode, and the show has some standout episodes and is still good (though a romance towards the end feels forced) but I think I prefer season 1. Quote

Viking Hall Posted July 13, 2018 Report Posted July 13, 2018 Coming from someone who is a massive fan of Stranger Things and Orange is the New Black the second season of GLOW is the best thing Netflix has produced yet. Quote

Also she's giving him a lot of credit for assuming he wouldn't know the connotations of calling a black person "Kong" just because he's from Japan when that's the country that made Bob Sapp famous pretty much just for being a large black guy.

To be fair, I'd imagine in Japan, King Kong is mainly known as a monster, not an ape. Which was always my problem with "Kong ". From an American perspective it always came off racist. For me it was 50/ 50, half racist shit I hate and half me loving her being named after the greatest of all monsters. Quote
Zoo Enthusiast Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 So I finally got around to this. "Womb goof." Holy shit, I almost lost it. Quote

Her story has changed then because the one she always used to tell was that AJW gave her the name because they wanted her to be their new Aja Kong character and she said she was nervous about bumping into Aja in Japan due to not wanting to think she was stealing her gimmick. Apparently when they met Aja was a sweetheart and it was never an issue and they later became Double Kong as a team. Quote
El-P Posted October 21, 2018 Report Posted October 21, 2018 Finally dove into S2 and : On 7/6/2018 at 5:56 AM, Johnny Sorrow said: Episode 7, the hospital one,is the best half hour of pro wrestling in forever. Hell yeah. Awesome episode. S2 has been even better than S1 thus far. And we're getting a S3 ! Kia Stevens was terrific in "her" episode too, hopefully she pops up in other good TV shows or movies. Quote
El-P Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 That last show was ridiculous. The "calling it in the ring" part was so cool. S3 can't arrive too soon. Heard it's gonna be darker. Not too dark I hope, but damn if this show ain't my favourite pro-wrestling TV show of the year. Quote
C.S. Posted August 21, 2019 Report Posted August 21, 2019 This is an amazing thread that needs to be shared with all... ***WARNING: SPOILERS FOR GLOW SEASON 3*** Reddit Thread Link Spoiler Quote
El-P Posted September 6, 2019 Report Posted September 6, 2019 As expected, it was much lighter on pro-wrestling this time, but also considerably darker and deeper. The one criticism I have is that it feels too short and I want S4 already. And I mean, with that ending there have to be a S4. Loved this season, again. Quote
Ricky Jackson Posted September 6, 2019 Report Posted September 6, 2019 Just watched ep 5 last night. It was definitely the high point of the season so far and one of the best eps in the run Quote
Ricky Jackson Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 RIP G.L.O.W https://www.f4wonline.com/news/netflix-cancels-glow-after-three-seasons-due-covid-19-321851 Was wondering if/when the 4th season was going to happen. Causality of the Covid era apparently Quote
Coffey Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 Well shit. Here I was thinking it was already filmed. Well, at least I can still look forward to the new season of Cobra Kai, I guess. Quote
Migs Posted October 6, 2020 Report Posted October 6, 2020 "How can we possibly do a show about wrestling during a pandemic? Everyone would have to get so close!" A good hint as to why Vince doesn't want wrestlers in SAG, he'd need to treat them like humans. Quote
SirEdger Posted October 6, 2020 Report Posted October 6, 2020 Apparently, Taya Valkyrie was cast in Season 4 but I guess we'll never get to see it. Quote
