Glow: Every Wrestler Appearance From Season 1

[Administrator]

Netflix's newest hit is GLOW, which follows a group of women and a horror movie director coming together to create the very first all-women's wrestling federation. While the show is the fictionalized story of a very real GLOW wrestling league that existed in the '80s, it features many cameos from very real wrestlers. Here are the 12 wrestlers you can see during the first season.
If you want to know more about GLOW, check out our review of episode one.


Awesome Kong


Awesome Kong doesn't have a cameo on GLOW. She's a part of the cast. Her real name is Kia Stevens, and she plays Tamme Dawson, whose in-ring name is Welfare Queen. Stevens has been a part of TNA (as Kong) and WWE (as Kharma).


Chavo Guerrero


You won't physically see Chavo Guererro Jr. on the first season of GLOW, but he is a part of the show. He was the fight coordinator on the show and trained the cast in the art of wrestling. His name does appear on the show, as the facility where the women trained is called "Chavo's." In addition, one of the episodes was dedicated to his father, Chavo Guererro Sr., who passed away early this year.


Tyrus


There are a couple of reoccurring roles for known wrestlers on the series. The first is George Murdoch who many will know as Brodus Clay from WWE or Tyrus from TNA. He plays Mighty Tom Jackson on GLOW, the sister of Carmen Wade, also known as Machu Picchu. Murdoch appears in two episodes during the first season.


Carly Colon


Carly Colon, better known as Carlito in WWE, also appears in two episodes during the first season. He plays Machu Picchu's other brother, Big Kurt Jackson. There was a really cool moment during his second appearance when he was holding an apple, a throwback to his character in WWE.


Johnny Mundo


One of the biggest surprises came from John Hennigan's appearance on the pilot of the show as trainer Salty "The Sack" Johnson. Many people know Hennigan as Johnny Mundo on Lucha Underground. In addition, he had a great run in WWE as John Morrison.


Frankie Kazarian, Marty Elias, and Christopher Daniels


When Debbie heads to her first wrestling event, she is treated to a match featuring the Best Moonsault Ever, performed by none other than Christopher Daniels. He's in the ring with Frankie Kazarian, both having worked in TNA and Ring Of Honor together. The in-ring action also features Lucha Underground referee Marty Elias, calling the Kazarian/Daniels match.


Alex Riley


Kevin Kiley Jr. appeared as the wrestler Steel Horse during an episode of GLOW. Many will know Kiley as Alex Riley from WWE and NXT.


Joey Ryan


One of the most entertaining cameos came from Joseph Meehan as Mr. Monopoly, Steel Horse's arch-nemesis. Many know Meehan as Joey Ryan, who has appeared on WWE, TNA, Ring of Honor, and currently, Lucha Underground.


Laura James


The woman in between the Steel Horse/Mr. Monopoly rivalry is Crystal, played by Laura James. The real-life wife of Joey Ryan has appeared on Global Force Wrestling.


Brooke Hogan


Finally, Brooke Hogan plays venue booker Amber Fredrickson in one episode of GLOW. Hogan is the daughter of legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan, and she has appeared in both WWE and TNA.
