Wikipedia Knows GLOW

I just laughed my ass off at the wiki entry for the glow girls. Please visit if you can. Here is an excerpt on Notable Gimmicks:

"Consistent with the professional wrestling entertainment angle, the GLOW performers had unique ring entrances or gimmicks to win (or lose) their respective matches. Some of them are the following:

Matilda the Hun - Appeared with large turkey or roasted leg as part of her ring entrance, originally the crowd chanted "raw meat" as she made her way down the aisle.
Royal Hawaiian - Appeared with pineapples in a cart, threatening to strike her opponent with it
Corporal Kelly - Wore two belts of bullets criss-crossed over her chest
Attaché - Usually brought a billy club with her to ringside, and frequently used it during matches
Dallas (and later Tulsa) - Brought in a lasso and rope, occasionally trussing up her opponent during the match
Dementia - Would bring an axe to the ring; would later attempt to use it against her opponent resulting in disqualification
The Widow - Would offer her opponent her favorite beverage before the match that was "spiked"; opponent would soon succumb to its effects during the match, providing her an easy pinfall victory that was followed by covered her opponent with a black lace shroud
Heavy Metal Sisters - Would carry in a chainsaw and small propane torch as part of their ring entrance. Would attempt to use them during the match (and get disqualified) and were often taken away from the match in straitjackets by Security
The Housewives - Would bring in mops; pails and other assorted household supplies; would use them on their opponents during the match and would be disqualified inevitably.
Palestina - Conducted a pre-match prayer on her knees in the center of the ring, analogous to Islamic prayers
Tammy Jones - Carried a small basket of candy and provided them to kids in the audience as part of her ring entrance
Susie Spirit and Debbie Debutante - Conducted a cheerleader routine
MTV - Sang a song about her opponent, usually not very complimentary, before beginning her matches. She almost always hit them with her guitar or a musical instrument. "
