Hey, mom. Nice to hear from you again. Hi, Smiley college student studying hard, you know what? I find a case of Edward in your room yesterday. I mean, after I drank, one got me thinking about my college days. Look, I don't really crack up at all the late nights. All the boys. Oh, um-hum, um-hum. Exactly. Are you around? Surprise, we're going to be classmates. Oh no. All right. Well, Red Bull gives you wings. The following program is a PodcastOne production from Hollywood, California by way of the Broken Skull Ranch. This is the Steve Austin show. Give me a hell. Yeah, yeah. Now here's Steve Austin and Hollywood, California hanging with my man Momo alloy today. I'm doing good, man. Good day to day. How was the traffic on your drive in? I got a little jumbled up there, so a lot of construction going on the streets of Los Angeles, it really gets out of my skin. You know, I'm a fanatic about drive and I'm not going to b***h about it or complain about the day. But how was your drive in? I'm lucky I used to live in your neck of the woods. I don't anymore. It's only a ten minute drive, but I don't want to break your heart here, but I just saw something on the news. They're looking to expand the 405, which is going to make your life. Hell, man. I know there's a lot of things I wanted to hear. I just want a million dollars or some kind of anything like that. But that's one thing I did not want to hear. But you know, I was thinking about imposing, you know, Mau Mau Darwish, Hey, what your Twitter handle at Mau DA, which A.R. H. I was thinking, Man. Mau Mau Mau, I got out. Yeah, but everybody got to have a nickname. Cyrus and I got a nickname for Moe. You know what your nickname is one here. Gimme gimme gimme mo. Whether it works for you, it doesn't work. It's going to stick with you until I decide to change. Because you are nicknames, go. You just can't make up your own nickname King. You know you can't. It's given to. Yeah. So what is cool or bad? Actually, give me mo. Give me mo. I like it. Do you like it? I love it as a reward, you know? So I get so many nicknames like Mo Money, more problems, all these other names. But I've never had Gimme Mo and I like that. I mean, Mo, you got to have a girlfriend who says, Give me a mo. We'll keep it on the up and up. I got a very special guest today, and I'm going to tie this in with a word of the day because man, everybody knows I come from the world of pro wrestling. That is what just excites me is where the world that I come from is what I know and love. And today's word of the day is actually an acronym. Today's word of the day is Glo, which is Glo W that stands for gorgeous ladies of wrestling. Now, the gorgeous ladies of wrestling, also known as GLOW, was a professional wrestling promotion for women, which began in 1986. The pilot was filmed in December 1985 and continued in various forms after it left television, colorful characters, beautiful women and over-the-top comedy sketches were integral to the series success. Most of the performers were actresses, models, dancers and or stunt women hoping to get into show business through wrestling. Now, mo man, I was probably playing football either at Wharton County Junior College or to got a scholarship to North Texas State University. I was a big, bad a*s football player, and when Glow came on wrestling Mister, I had a little bitty chump a*s color TV. Yes, it was colored man. I was a high dollar back then. Yeah, it was a cheap as color TV I could find, but I watched glow wrestling every single time it came on and I loved the entertainment factor of it I loved. I just loved anything in the ring because I grew up with seven or eight years old, loving anything in the squared circle and here today to help tell the story of the gorgeous ladies of wrestling and the new DVD, which just came out as glow. The story of Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling is my guest today who am very happy to have as a guest here at the Steve Austin show and give you a little bit more history on her and why. But Little Egypt? Welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. I'll be here. Wow. Wait, ladies, I'm in the man cave right now. I just want you to know what it looks like. I'm looking at Mo, who looks exactly like Andre Agassi. That's pleasant. It kind of looks like Andre Agassi meets Yul Brynner. Yes. Kind of looking in Andre Agassi and I'm straight, but you know you're good looking cat. He is. He is a follow on Twitter. What was your Twitter handle? Mo Darwish, do it or follow me on the tennis court. Yes. Finally, on the Coast Guard and then like this is top notch super duper high tech. This is an incredible studio. So that's not bad. I mean, you know, it's, you know, it could be a lot worse. It could be. But we're not here to talk about this studio. We're here to talk about global. Because, man, I tell you what. Growing up back in the day, you know, everybody knows I'm pro wrestler, born and raised. I mean, I love that business. And so when Glow came on back in the day and I remember its debut in 1986. I was hooked. Hook, line and sinker I was in, I bought in, I love the characters. I love the storylines. It was little on the campy side. I don't think a veteran or someone in today's business would go back and maybe watch anything that was going on and ring and mimic a style. But if I was to tell anybody listening to my voice right now or anybody that has any kind of interest in the business of professional wrestling, that the story of GLOW is a DVD, which you must see because if you're a fan of the business and I am which you all know, you got to see this thing because what you can get out of this DVD is a history of a four year spot, a four year spot in the history of the business of professional wrestling. When a group of all women who this thing was basically designed to be a tax write off a legit, absolutely and turn it into a success. And the point I was trying to make is commitment to character, because all of the characters and in glow were so committed to who and what they were. And it was interesting to hear how everybody came up with the character. But everybody bought in and you believed as much as, you know, there was disbelief. You believed who and what these gals were. So let's talk about the beginning of glow. Whose baby was it? Was it David McClain? Well, yeah, actually, it was David's idea to put a all female wrestling show together. David comes from a promotional background. He from Indianapolis, Indiana, comes from very affluent family and he loved wrestling. And so from the time he was in eighth grade, he was just, you know, just absorbing everything he could about wrestling. He went to take the Bruce's all star wrestling with sell photos of the wrestlers there. He'd make like two dollars a night doing that. And so he eventually. But in 1984, he becomes GM of Dick Bruce's all star wrestling. So he's got quite the, you know, quite the experience to lead the charge of an all female wrestling show, but to do something completely different because, you know, everyone's got their own wrestling promotion. What could he do different? All female wrestling is a really brilliant idea. So when he came up with this idea, he was still in Indy and then moved to Vegas to accomplish this. While he had his sources, his family was very well connected. And that's how he ended up meeting Reckless, who was the owner of the Riviera Hotel. He was married to Isidora. He had other companies Faberge Brut. That's why you saw it on the ring. Were you from? We were doing commercial. Yeah, the commercials were built into the yeah, the product. Yeah, it was just one giant commercial with a wrestling based entertainment factor. So it was it was a great product and we were really happy to be a part of it. But that's what happened. So David meets reckless, reckless buys on to the idea with the contingency that they use his friend Matt Simper, who's the director who was a legend in Hollywood at the time, just finishing Butterfly, which was a movie with Pia Sidora. And then he's he's famed for his work with Honda, which he won three, you know, he was nominated for three Golden Globes for that one. So we, you know, he he brought some some skill. OK, so Dave McClain comes down from Indiana and moves to Las Vegas because that's where you guys are operating out of the Riviera Hotel. It ties in with reckless. He's a money guy. Reckless says. We've got to have somewhere to direct. So now we've got to start rounding up these gals to make up the roster. Now this is interesting because, you know, I know a lot of these. When were you tell a story? Well, let me ask about you first, because as we talked, you were working in Las Vegas, you were 19 years old and you're working at a T-shirt shop. Mm-Hmm. You are not a fan of professional wrestling. I didn't watch it. I mean, everyone knew about it. Sure. Hogan. And you know, I never followed it, though. Yeah, it wasn't like you were. Had your hopes and dreams to be a pro wrestler, right? Never even crossed my mind. But you're a beautiful lady. There was a Arizona audition process, a casting call, and you know, I would, you know, initially I thought before talking to you that, you know, you were trying to get into acting or modeling because of your looks. And that's not the case. You're working in a T-shirt shop, and Mount Fuji comes in to have a T-shirt made for a match. And here comes this three hundred and fifty pound giant with the best smile and the most charismatic woman I've ever met in my life. I I just couldn't stop talking to her. What do you do? What are you doing? Why? You know, what's this T-shirt for? And she jumped right in town on it for man. I'm a wrestler and she was so proud of it, and she looked at me and said, You should do it too. And I'm not her size. And but she knew in her, you know, she knew what was cast. So she had a little fatigue and so she knew little girls can make. And she said, you should come down to the Riviera and talk to David McClain. And I did and then went right into training. My training was two weeks before I was in my first match, which is crazy. What two weeks? Well, let's talk about the gathering of the girls for the first meeting all, y'all. They put the word on the street. They didn't say, Hey, this is going to be a wrestling project. Right. You were brought in by Fiji, who said, Hey, I think you'd be great for this, but everybody else who's came under the assumption that they were trying to be actors, actresses or models or whatever, this was a gig, they were going to an audition. All of a sudden, the four one one comes out that this is going to be a wrestling show. According to who was out of Hollywood, one third of the women get up and walk out. That's right, they did. They did. And that's a testimonial from other girls. Tina Ferrari, actually, they all say the same thing. They just failed. So you're sitting here, you know what's going on? I mean, like, does everybody just start looking around and thinking, Hey, what the hell is going on here? Can I do this? What was what intrigued them to want to stay aboard once they found out it was wrestling? Well, this is where you this is where I guess women are defined by, you know, what they bring to the table and it takes a certain kind of woman to get excited about wrestling. So the ones that stayed were the ones that were like, This is exciting because wrestling is very exciting. Wrestling is like, you know, when immediately they start going through their training with Mondo Guerrero, who's this legend? OK, OK. But but we OK, so we got these gals in this room. Everybody is going to stay on board. We've got to have someone to train them. Y'all brought in or who hired Dave McClain reached out to grill. Let me let me break down to all the wrestling fans out. Well, if you're a wrestling fan, you don't need to be broken down if you're not a wrestling fan any time you mentioned a Guerrero's name. Any one of those cats comes from the royal family. You've got instant credibility. You've got an instant respect universal because of Guerrero's bad a*s. And so Mondo comes on board to train all you gals. Why does he think it is? It just it's just a gig. It's a payday form. Does he know what he's getting himself into? Because again, many gals who don't even didn't even know it's going to be a wrestling call. And this is a highly athletic endeavor with skill involved, his getting people that are not just green, but extremely green and not used to pain. Right. So I've talked to Mondo about this after the fact. I've, you know, gotten very close to Mondo, and he's an awesome guy in that dynasty that he represents is incredible to wrestling history. The the interesting part for Mondo, yeah, it did start as a payday, but he was very concerned about our safety the entire time. So it was really about the basics taking a bum, landing flat, slapping out into the chest, three quarter rolls, all this stuff to keep us safe. It's like almost in the back of his mind. He might prophesized that he was going to be able to follow through with the rest of the training. So he those basics were installed, installed early on with all of us girls. When I came aboard, I was trained by Attache, who was a wrestler, trained by Mondo, but it was the same technique. It was the same drills. And so I feel like in a way that I was trained by Mondo as well. But it was awesome because he's looking at these girls, right, and he's like, well, who are you? You know, you guys don't you're not bringing anything to the table, but looks and I got to try and keep you safe and teach you wrestling. And then he talks in the DV DVD about as little a lack of respect. Not one of participants break a story down for me because it has little come to Jesus meeting real quick to get some attention out of some of these cats. Yeah, one of the girls was going, This is fake. This is so fake. And he puts her in a sleeper hold and she passes out. He talks about her flopping around like a fish because in a sleeper hold, you can actually cut off someone's oxygen. And that's that's what happens. So he did that move on her? And then after that, those girls, real quick, got real smart and realized that this was not a game that they, you know, if they were going to pull this off, they better start taking their bumps seriously. And they did. And Tina Ferrari, who went on to become ivory in the WWE, talks a lot about her respect for Mondo and what he brought to the table for all of us. And we love him. We absolutely love him. Now you guys going to training camp and you're coming out of a T-shirt shop, where are you pursuing anything and physical fitness? Where you working out? I was just doing aerobics. You know, aerobics was big in the 80s. Rose was big in the 80s, but you know, it's not like it's really going to prepare for what you're about to go through in a pro wrestling camp. And so you guys go to work and y'all's dojo, y'all. A little training center, which was prehistoric, would be a good way to put it in a really ramshackle ring that was unsafe. The ropes were the drizzling sheds, quite honestly. And so you guys are going through two periods of training a day, four hours apiece. Right? How was that? What were you guys eating? What? What was your dinner schedule? Give me the whole 4-1-1 on that process. OK? Well, they didn't feed us, you know, so it was up to us to feed ourselves. But the the impact on our body that we were feeling at that time and God knows how. I mean, how many bumps can you take in a day and your. Oh my gosh. So these girls were literally black and blue because it's during this time that you get back at me for not good at what you do. And this is where you're going to get hurt. You're going to hurt people. Girls were still getting hurt in training. So, you know, there was trickling out from, I almost think, close to 100 girls that were cast to 30 that went to Las Vegas. So because I'm looking at you right now, you couldn't have been more than 100 pounds and you're going against some of these women are, look, 180, over 200. How do you are you scared when you're in the ring with women that big? You know, I got to tell you and you tell me what you think about this stone cold. And usually when you're wrestling a giant, there is the most creative matches you can get into because there's very little that they're going to be able to pull off versus athletically. So I loved wrestling Matilda, and I would wrestle her a lot, but I was really more frightened about the girls that were just a little bit bigger than me that didn't take their job seriously, that were partying too hard, that were coming in stoned. You know, those were the girls that I was afraid of, and actually those were the girls that I got hurt with. Well, they don't really quite have the the physical strength technique to pull across what they need to do. I mean, Attila the Hun was she looked awesome. She looked very safe to me and so strong and powerful that she could do exactly what she wanted when she wanted and how she wanted. And so she always struck me as someone who would be very safe to work with. The network really made an impression on me as well. I loved, you know, the character aspect that everybody, you know, undertook once they committed and bought in, and that was what was entertaining to me. But to go stick with the training thing, you guys are in the ring four hours in a morning, four hours in the evening. And the funny thing, when you first break into the business and you're going through that initial bump session, you're sore for about seven to 12 days. You are intensely sore and then your body starts to weather the storm. You starting to toughen up like leather. And then you can bump all day long from then on out and you're good to go. It's when you get off the ring and stay gone for two weeks. That's when you get the soreness again. So you guys got broken, you're starting to toughen up. How long was he? It taught you the basics, the bumping. How long was it before he started teaching to the moves and any any semblance of psychology? OK, so that came very quick. Actually, we didn't. We didn't. Yeah, it was like, Those are your bumps. Now here's the psychology. This is how we're going to build a match. We knew who is going to finish and how you know how the finish was going to come. But we got to develop our own matches. We had no input from any director or anything. So when you see those matches, those glow matches, those were just two girls working together to tag teams working together. So that was really our creativity time. We loved it. That is very interesting. No input from anybody else who was just a gals out there working. So then we had these dialogues like, you know, it was no noted. I felt really safe. So she said, I'm going to put you in a backbreaker and then I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that. I'm like, Yes, I will do that. Another girl says she's going to do that to me. I don't trust her. I'd say, No, we are not going to do that. We are going to do this. If you want me to do that to you, I need you to do. This to me, so the you know, we do the trade outs based on our comfortability with each other, so they come by, give you guys a finish your great imagine, go out and do it. Yeah, that's how it went and we had one week to do it. And we also had because we were a show, we were a season show we had. We had two to three matches that we were all doing a week. So we had that week to put together a match. We were putting together, you know, three three matches a week. OK, now understand to watch the DVD. They kind of keep you guys sequestered. They kind of had you guys on a curfew wouldn't let you go out and do a whole lot of things kind of kind of kept you reined in coming about that. Yeah, isn't that interesting? Because think about it. Honestly, though, these are young 20 year old girls in Vegas, right? Partying Amyris, they're just ready to rock and roll, let's say. And and it was affecting their performances, really? Yeah, it was because they wouldn't show up to training. All of a sudden they were too tired. No, there was no accountability. So you had to kind of do it because everyone else is doing it. And so if you blew off a training or if you didn't show up for to coordinate a match with someone that that was getting seen. And so in order to keep the kibosh on that from getting worse, certain rules started coming into play. Now, the first two seasons, they were the good they were. They were better. They were more experienced as far as because they were coming from L.A. This was this was a launching pad. And then season three and four, those were the women that were watching GLOW and were like, I want to be a wrestler, too. And so it was a totally different mindset. And so they were a little bit, you know, they they were a little bit more rambunctious. Let's say they had more fines assessed to them. One thrown under the bus. There were some bad girls in season three and four. Thank God for Big Bad Mama and Fiji reining him in so that they were kind of the police women of the locker room, so to speak. Yeah. So you guys, all of a sudden this show takes off and you're filming 26 episodes for season. Yep. Mm hmm. And so when did you guys know that you were starting to become a success? We didn't know where we were when we finally got to go on tour, which was the end of the second season. That was our first tour that we did, and we kind of went out there to make some extra money while we were on break. That's when we could tell by the audience, by the fan base, because they were keeping our fan letters from us. We didn't get a chance to know who liked who and how we were going on. No feedback, no feedback. Just like just the little group of people, the 300 people that would show up to watch the matches on on match day that, you know, we were just going off of the oohs in the Oz and figuring out what would work. But we did not know until we got to go on tour and then we were like, Whoa, they think you could be walking down the street and someone yell, Oh my God, it's glow. There's Egypt, there is no network. There's the day, Oh my God, and then she's, you know, she would just be. Taken in. Well, so you guys are, you know, turning in the stars. We didn't know it. Didn't know it. Yeah, but but you were initially living in a Riviera hotel because of the connection with Reckless, who owned the Riviera Hotel. So the rooms are free. Then finally, why did they decide to move you all out and to get the houses? Well, the girls were getting into a little trouble, you know, so it was troublesome. But you know, when I saw you guys falling into the house's hills and babyfaces and I was looking, I was like, Man, this is like, well, probably then when I, when I moved into the house is maybe 87, 88. Yeah, towards the end. So I'm thinking right, there was the first ever reality television show, which would have been the greatest thing that never happened. I know if they would've just kept the cameras rolling and went inside the house would have been tremendous. Yeah. They could have put it 20 years later. They would have had this great footage and made an awesome series. It would have been great. So I'm listening to the stories and mount pages talking, and she was telling a story about how she floats. She bought her own plane ticket to fly in. Did they reimburse her? Because the question I really want to get to is y'all are working about three shows a week, correct? Yeah, you're doing 26 shows in a season. What kind of money you making? I was making three hundred and fifty dollars a week when I was working out. Hey, Grant, you have to know that bad 19 years old working in a T-shirt store for 100 bucks a week. That was awesome. Yeah, we had to go to work for training and put together matches at all this free time. I could go do aerobics and three 50 week I was excited about that broken business. In 89, I wouldn't make it $300 a week. I must have been doing something wrong. You were taking the real bonus. You're out there learning and learning the art of wrestling, which we didn't have that luxury. We were watching the WWF. We're like, OK, what do we do now? We got, you know, we had to constantly stay creative. So we turn on the WWF and got that work done. When Rowdy Roddy Piper did that, let's use that. You know, Andre the giant, we were watching it all, getting all excited. So, so then who's basically running the show? Is it David McClain or Matt? No. It depends on what part of the show you're talking about. No, let's let's talking about where we're in the initial phases. OK, I would say, let's say we're deep into season one, almost in season two. Yeah. So we've got we've got David who really wanted to take a more active approach in GLOW, but who's getting shut down, who's the booker? It was Matt Simper. OK, Matt Simmons calling the shots. Yeah. Matt Simper and the writer Steve Blount's, who was doing the storylines and writing, writing the skits and the characters and all that stuff. So the more control that they took, the less they gave to David till he just became a player. He didn't want to just be an announcer, but that's where he was going, and that was a shame to watch that happen. Well, you know, you loved him. You brought up what's the referee's name? Steve wants Steve Blanch. We're going to talk. We're going to come back here with a little easier. We're talking about the gorgeous ladies of wrestling. I want to talk about Steve Blast, a writer referee who was perfect for the part a little bit about David McClain. I'm thrilled to have the leadership in the studio here today. Give me mo. Take us into break a word from our sponsors coming back with more glow with Little Egypt. My about let's talk about Deng Mo. Talk to me, give me some technology information. What is Ting Ting is awesome. It's a it's a Pay-As-You-Go service that doesn't automatically bundle you into these unlimited fees. You know that most phone services do. It really just charges you for what you use. Oh, it's fantastic. So you're not logged in and got a plan and you pay for what you use? Yeah, exactly. You're not logged in any plan, you know, based upon how much you use is what plans you fall into and each different thing minutes. Text data is all charged separately. So depending on how much you use in each one, you just get put into that Duckett. So basically, it breaks down like King is mobile. That makes sense. And so the average guy would see me on the street and say, Well, Steve, how is Ting different? Well, let's go up on what we were just talking about. No contracts truly and completely contract free. No early termination fees. What does that mean to you that mo know early termination fees means? If I want to get out, I could get out. I don't have to be stuck married to someone for two years. It's like, Come on, I can't even see a woman. For two years, I got the same iPhone four to the Steve Austin show, the Steve Austin. Welcome to the Steve Austin show. More ladies, give us a hand, I'm talking to Little Egypt. The story of the gorgeous ladies of wrestling, there's a DVD is out. You should check it out. I watched it. I loved it. I'm talking a little Egypt about life coming up. Eighty six to 90, it was a short run, but an intense run and one that was so fun for me to watch. And before I want to say, go off, I'll go right back. Let's talk about we were talking about the referee and who turned into a writer. So how did that happen? Well, he was a writer that turned into a referee because we needed a referee. So he stepped in to do it and he loved wrestling this guy. He knew so much about the wrestling industry because he was he loved it. I mean, he's the one that got excited about, like Mondo Guerrero and the legacy that we were developing. So he was perfect for the part. I mean, for for for the for that environment, for that element, he was the perfect referee. He played it so well. Yeah, he did. And he took it could take a bomb and he'd love to sell. He loved it and he knew he was a really good referee, too. I mean, he was really good at it. So I want to know all the skits that you guys did. I mean, this is, you know, very character driven. A lot of skits, great comedy, you know, just over-the-top stuff, which was so entertaining. Who wrote all the sketch? It was Steve. Every one of those. Yeah. Well, no. There was some. There was some like brainstorming moments with him. And Matt, like Matt, will say, Let's do this and then Steve will develop it. But it was the creative was Matt and Steve, with the majority going to Steve on that. Now, how long did it take to film those skits? Because I mean, you guys were great in those things. I mean, you were committed to character, played a character so well. And did you all have cue cards where you all memorized and we memorized it and they were all done at one time? We do like a whole season of tips from Tina done in like one half hour after she just got one Tim bang out like 12 of them. And then we did the, you know, the bar scene, so we just bang them all out at one time. So production wise, it was really as we were a tight running ship and we were making a lot of money for reckless talking about character development because one of the things that I don't see is playing out today is a big emphasis on characters in wrestling right now. Why do you think that is? Well, I don't, you know, I don't know. I just think I don't know if it's if it's the fear to commit to a character. And I really don't know how to answer that question because it's whatever you are. And this was in the DVD when Matt Zimmer would watch you guys do your stretches and your warm ups, he would walk through and kind of chit chat with you with you guys and say, OK, this is who you are. Turn it up. Mm hmm. And I mean, and that's seemingly is the best way to go about creating a character, just magnifying who you are. And he was able to see that. So got to give give the guy a lot of credit on that. Oh yeah. And he's a very creative man. I just as a viewer, as someone who watches wrestling now, I always think, Man, why don't you? Why don't you just like karma right now? When she was in the WWE, that was a defined character. Like that was defined like Fandango. You can watch Fandango right now in the WWE. That's a defined character. I mean, it's all from the dancing in the entrance to the when he delivers a bump. I was doing that as little Egypt. I would come out dancing and then I'd have my finishing moves would always have some type of dancing element, and that's that's something that I thought I would like to see more of. It was it was interesting. This was a quote out of the DVD and kind of the words to the effect that I said to the end, talking about the story when the Rock had some words from in WrestleMania 19 Seattle that, you know, here's was a group of young ladies who went to audition for process. It turned into pro wrestling. Everybody get bit by the bug, according to Tina Ferrari. Right? Everybody just fell in love with the business, and that's how powerful attraction the business can be. But the love you guys all had for each other, the sisterhood and the camaraderie, the bonding. Because I'm midway through this thing, I'm a super fan of Glow from 86 on. I watched the whole thing. And so I'm just watching the history. I'm finally getting my closure because I never knew what happened. I didn't know the end of the story. So this DVD comes out as finishing the story midway in. I really become invested because that's when the heart comes out and I get to see how invested everybody was on a on a real deal human being level as a person that you guys had invested your lives in to being a wrestler. And, you know, I think that's like this hidden little part of our industry is that it's it's hard to make that comparison unless you've been in the ring and you've taken some bumps and you've fallen in love with it, when when that when the movie transitions into that the real human element, the story of the sisterhood. When I first came in to do my interview, we only had Hollywood and Matilda and like three girls from the second. Season and I was and I'm talking to the documentary, Guys, Mike, where is everybody? Well, this is who we have and I'm like, We need more. This is a really important story. This is this is going to define our legacy. Let's find him. So we're a normal documentary might take six months to shoot and put in the can. This took two and a half years because we were working with character profile names, and it was impossible to remember who was real, what their real name was, and then they get married in their bad name changes, and it was just a real labor of love. But then by the time we got to that part where the movie transitions, we had close to 40 girls showing up to embrace each other and live out our our dreams to talk to each other again, because that's what it really was about. For us, it's like getting back and going. Can you believe we did that? That was crazy, but we love each other. But it was interesting for me just how you got into the business. You all paid dues. Yeah, you paid your dues. You had a great mano Guerrero as a trainer, and then you all became sisters. Yeah. Through the business, you put in your blood, sweat and tears, and you also got hurt a lot. Yeah, when you watch list, sort of some of the action isn't over the top. But like we were talking on the phone the other day. You can run across the ring, just run in the ropes, doing the simplest thing, and that's when you can blow something out. But how are you feeling these days? Because in your career, you've had two torn rotator cuff. You've got a torn ACL. Did you ever had to think about never did how the shoulders do? How how's your body in general? You look like a million bucks, but how are you feeling? Well, as long as I keep everything tight, it feels everything feels better. As long as I keep working upper body and as long as I keep my legs strong, that creates like its own little brace, like this human little brace that's going to keep me together. If I get lazy, then my arm could pop out. You know, it's just what do you do if your workout these days? Oh, I'm not. Not not what you're doing, Steve, but you're doing something. I walk a lot and I just do some lightweight stand up like that. Yeah, I'm staying active and I'm enjoying where I'm living in Laguna Beach. So I'm just trying to keep moving, keep my body moving. That's like my amendment and that's my mission in life. Susie Spirit had a devastating arm break runner elbow joint. I know it was hard for me to watch because I don't like watching people get injured. What was the medical process? You guys, when you go down, get injured and who's footing the bills on that? They take care of you. Yeah, we had workman's comp. We had a physical therapy place that we would go to and try and rehab ourselves as best we could so we can get back in the ring as quickly as possible. So we had paramedics on site to do the small stuff. And then if we needed to be transported like I had to get transported to the hospital when I blew out my ACL. Those those are things that were all covered by the Revere Hotel. Now there's a clip of you that that bump you take, that's the torn ACL. Yeah, you're going to be there. But how embarrassing is that? But I mean, God, that's like the easiest move ever. No, I mean, at one time we were working Hamilton, Ontario. The crowd was, you know, it was a bad house and it was like a six man tag. And you know, I remember we said, Hey, man, everybody just kind of chill out there, be cool and Triple H goes out and blows out a knee. And, you know, we were just gonna go out and kind of take it easy will start to want to give the fans their money's worth. But sometimes, man, you can get away with a big a*s suplex from the top turnbuckle onto the floor. Then you can run across the ring and something goes. Sometimes it's it's just bad luck. That's just the way things go. Yeah, and see, that's another thing, Steve. The workers that are out there from the beginning of time, anyone who was ever interested in wrestling that stepped in the square circle. We have a short shelf life. We don't know when our expiration date is going to come up. That's so, that's so painful in a way because you really love this industry and you love the sport and you feel like when when you lose one, OK, because we were watching girls that I love to wrestle with, take, take these big, you know, these huge injuries. And then they were out and then we lost contact with them. And then you feel like you lost a family member. Listen, I want to talk about this because this really resonated with me. All of the girls, in particular Mount Fuji and you were pretty emotional as well, said that glow for four year period was the highlight of their life. Mm hmm. Every every woman on a DVD loved the time that they spent in the ring, and by and large it was a high point of everyone's life. So talk about that and let's talk about your transition to get out of that business because it wasn't easy for you. No, it wasn't. And and talking to you, Steve, is so cool because I feel like I'm talking to a comrade of arms. You know that that it doesn't matter what promotion you're in. A bump is a bump. Yes. It feels the same if you're in a house of 50 or 20000, a bump bump. We we work the same way with everybody. We love each other. And to hear you say that is really heartwarming because I feel like we're understood and that was one of the things that we had to deal with when we were. The show is how do you explain this to people that aren't in the industry because we didn't have a social network? It was just like, Wow, I'm hurting right now. I wish I could talk to someone. I better just put this behind me and move on with my life. So that's what not just me and I did, but a lot of the girls had to do that in order to transition. Because if you hang on to that, Steve, if you're hanging on to hopes and dreams of coming back in, you're going to make the worst mistakes. You're going to make bad decisions, you're going to fall for whatever it is you need to hear to buy into the belief that there's still hope and you've got to let that go. So, so yeah, our industry has a very short shelf life and we don't know when we're going to, we're going to get knocked out. And for me, I was two seasons. So what was your process? You're out of the business. Yeah. How do you cope? What did you do? Well, OK. So I went. David McClain had left season two and he took the entire cast with them except for like three or four girls. And because we love David because David was one of us. David was in the ring with us and David loved wrestling, and we love wrestling. We believe David when he said so. David was one of girls and I mean, in the right way. Yeah, he was. He was and he was cool, so cool. And so we went with him on the power tour. And I at this point was still recovering from a bad knee. So I worked as Palestine's manager, the terrorist manager, and I'm like going, You know, this is really cool, David. He's putting me on the tour. I'm going around and I just feel like now I'm just taking advantage. Like, This isn't where I'm not going to be a manager the rest of my life. So this is short lived and I need to, you know, at the end of this cycle, I'm going to when I take off, I'm going to start looking for something else to do. And that was my story. I found, you know, got into real estate sales for 20 years. Let's talk about your real estate career there in Las Vegas, 20 years worth. We talked a little bit last night. You know, I think real estate like its glamorous business and you know, you look on the real estate guy here in Los Angeles, you'll see like a crib in Malibu, you know, $15 million and some cat yourself and you're thinking about the commission. It's not all that in a bag of chips, is it? No, it's not, Steven. A lot of lot of people don't realize if you're going to do numbers. And I did in in 20 years real estate, I closed over a thousand sales. Okay. So I had a really good career. And you know, it was I built a referral business and to do that, you got to do good work or no one's going to know no one's going to call you or give you a name of a friend. So with that said, I feel like the real estate industry. Yeah, the truth that the real estate industry is your your sales are coming from divorces, bankruptcies. You know, when you have to move, no one, no one wants to sell their house when they're happy, either stay in. What you're saying sounds very true to me because I've been there, done that. Now, as you said, you're like, Oh yeah, that's when I sold. Right? Yeah. But so check it out. You're at the T-shirt shop, you're 19. Did you end up going back to college to get a degree or you got your real estate license? I couldn't do college, and like many of the girls that I was working with, you know, I had a. OK, we really yeah. There was no learning disability program to help me get through my studies and stuff. So I just found, like so many people that suffer with ADHD is just like, it's hard and you just fade out, right? And so I'm like, OK, so I don't have a college degree. I'm young. Where how can I convert my energy into as much money as possible, a booming real estate market in Las Vegas? I got in there and you know, you don't need to have a degree, a college degree to turn over. It just got to work. You got to work hard. And you know what? And that means of rejection, and that means getting your sales skills down. And I learned I had a lot of life experience in those tapes and had, you know, you had to learn how to live a certain way because you're 100 hundred percent commission. So it's kind of a totally different feel. But those skills I was able to convert into finding these girls in the DVD into forming everything that we're experiencing now at the CAC and how we can come together on a yearly basis. All that stuff. I'm using my real estate skills to do that. Real estate skills. Let's talk quickly about the doors close. Yeah. 1990 Everything stops. Let's talk about why glow stopped. Because am I correct? Glow was started. Was it started to just to be a tax write off? Yes, it did. And it turned into a success, right? And you guys are in 200 markets. You guys are stars and don't even know it. You start going out. Everybody recognizes you. They're going crazy. They want autographs. You're the biggest kept secrets and you everybody knows the secret, except you're not so true. So all of a sudden, everything from supposed to fail making money. Then the door shut. Yeah. What's the deal? What's the bottom line on why this thing shut down? Well, OK. So here's the thing. Say which you can say, OK, yeah, it. It's when the door shut. They didn't even tell the girls. It was just a break. We were getting ready to start season five. No one got called back. All their stuff was left at the Riviera Hotel. A lot of the. Their costumes, things were all being stored in a warehouse and they were all just thrown into a dumpster and the girls were told there's going to be no season five. Why it happened because reckless. The owner didn't want to put any more money into it. Why? Because he couldn't keep his pecker in his pants. That's why he couldn't keep his pecker in his pants. He was messing around with a gal or two. He was mad. There's a door at the time, and she said, Hey, mister, you better shut this thing down or I'm out of here. Which she ended up pulling a Hank and getting out of there anyway, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. And isn't that a shame? That is a shame because but I never knew what happened. And this is why I enjoyed this DVD, the story of the gorgeous ladies of wrestling so much because it gave me closure. I'm getting closure from Little Little Egypt. I'm having a great conversation with you. Let's go back here. I want to cherry pick through some of these names, and I want who some of these people that really resonated with you that you still think about. I mean, I know big bad, big bad mama who lost her not too long ago, a couple of weeks ago, watching her on a DVD do her interviews. Just such a cool lady. And like, well, she was an older lady at the time, but just an older soul. Yeah, someone with, you know, you would experience a lot and just would be the ultimate person. I'd like to sit down and talk to. Oh, that's so cool. It's funny that you. Here's what's great about Big Bad Mama and what she represents to female wrestling and what we were able. What the glow product was able to do for her was, Glow said. You don't have to fit a cookie cutter mold. You don't have to be a gorgeous lady of wrestling to work at glow, right? And so she saw that she saw Matilda. She saw Feig, and she said, This is for me, this is what I want. She knew when the when they were casting for season three, she drove from Victorville to Las Vegas to attend the casting call there. She slept in her car with her kids. She wanted, oh, wanted this. She loved being a wrestler. More than anything, this is where the best days of her life, too. That's interesting. I got to really like, listen to her talk, Matilda the Hun. What else? What a character. I loved her. I loved her. She was crazy. I mean, very just so vibrant and full of life. And now, I mean, she's she's a big lady. And you know, she's had, you know, some health issues. But I mean, she's alive and kicking and just, you know, she just finished her autobiography and I want to read that. I read it. And let me tell you, it's is. It is as rated R as your show. I, you know the way it is she came up from, Oh my god, like the 60s love fests, OK? And then she pined. You know, she wanted to be a wrestler when being a wrestler was not cool. Like when it was just kind of your mom in a bathing suit kind of thing. You know, she wanted. She wanted to impact. She wanted. She started mud wrestling. She could do anything to try and get into the ring. She fought her way into that, and glow was her baby, too. She got to consult a lot on the beginning of the creative part of Glow with Matt Simmba. So David wasn't really crazy about what Matt was doing with these big girls. He was like, No, we are going to be beautiful, gorgeous ladies of wrestling. Matt was, no, we are going to be character driven. You see how they were coming to terms with that. If you look at what David McClain's doing right now, he has the WOW promotion. If you want to see David's dream for GLOW. Go watch. Wow. Because that is his vision playing out. So Matt Schimmer was a key element in the success of GLOW from a vision standpoint. And was you guys out there doing the work? But he had the correct vision. I thought so because look at the history. After Glow stopped after four seasons, it went into global syndication for 10 years. People raised their kids on glow in Brazil, South America, all the Argentina. These I still get people that are fans that are starting at 10 and there's like, How are you watching this? You're 10 years old. How can you be a club fan? But they're raised on it. Their families were raised on it. And when you're when you're selling to syndicated markets and they buy only a limited like the first two seasons, let's say of GLOW, they'll play that 70 times, you know, they'll play it 70 times in a month. So you're going, they're going to memorize these skits and they all have our raps memorized. That was another thing with Glow with the Raps were so unique because the Raps were great. Yeah, it was awesome. I loved it. The jail enjoyed doing those. Loved it. We all think, Hey, man, this is so Chicago Bears and how man is so cool. It was like, Hey, this is so cool. I got a rap. I have a rap. I mean, I have a bar and large Jolla, a pretty musical. I mean, y'all, we're supposed to get Grammys or nothing. But I mean, it was a very entertaining, well done stuff. Yeah, yeah. I'm wondering like, you know, if we could, if you would have a rap, what would it be? No, I don't. You know, we could produce the video and make it OK. We'll do it. Mau Mau Mau Mau Mau Kheerat Oh, OK, you're in the business of two, two and a half years. Yeah, well, two seasons. But you never get out of the business. If you never retire, you're always in a business, you're still in the business. So my question for you? Now, as you have, you know, you've been inside the ropes, you've been in the ring, you've taken your bumps, you paid your dues. So now what's your take on the state of women's professional wrestling? OK, I love what the girls are doing, OK? They're doing a lot more technically advanced wrestling than we ever did. OK, so that the quality of the wrestling that we're seeing is great. I'm not seeing enough of it. I want to see more character driven profiles. When I was when I saw karma come up, I remember telling him, like, that's a character. Well, let's get more of those different sizes. Let's let's put. Different women in different costumes, let's face pain, let's let's let's create more skits, environments to develop the character if we have to, if we're not getting ring time, then give a set time, do something so that we continue to go over when we do get into a ring. And so I'm a big advocate on trying to constantly push a character profile in the women's division. And it works. I mean, it's successful. You got to have a character. The character sells a ticket. You can have anybody out there running a mechanically perfect match, right? You know, I did. That is stunning, Steve. It didn't work so well. I mean, I had respect among my peers as far as being a capable guy in the ring, and I was a cool guy to hang out with us and I was one of the boys. But as until I came into the stone cold thing, and that's when the ticket started to fly it out. What else would you do with them with the women's division of professional wrestling right now? Give them managers like your managers. Yeah, why not? I think that would be so fun. I know AJ's a manager, but she's more like a manager for the guys. She doesn't, you know, really have. She doesn't come out and at the sidelines with with any of the girls during their their matches or anything like that. But I would love to see someone like a Jimmy Hart manager or someone like we had. Jackie Stallone is our manager, the good girl manager. We had Rocky's mom. So how did Jackie Sloan decide you want to come in? Long story short, how'd you? How'd you get her? And she knew Matt Simmba. She was a work. She was. She was paid for her services. She came in and she did a raps. But we loved it when we saw her because we couldn't wait to talk to her about Sylvester Stallone was a big deal. Josh Loan comes on to be a part of GLOW. Yeah, absolutely. So why not someone like someone similares a high profile woman that could be a manager for the women's division? I think that would be bada*s. They need to do that, but it's got to be a dedicated manager. I mean, a real manager in the vein of someone who's committed, totally just being that and maintains that their entire career and establishes credibility as a manager and as a personality. And I'm going to come back. We're talking a little Egypt. We're talking the story of gorgeous ladies of wrestling. I'm having a guy thing blast. So is give me mo. We're going to be right back after a word from our sponsors. We want to wrap this thing all up and get on down the road. Come on back. Welcome to the Steve Austin show. And. Are you want me to wrap our round for your a*s? Gorgeous ladies of wrestling. We're all champions in the ring. We come from the streets. We come from the city. We come from the world where there is no pity for them. It's a wrestling jam. Come on, ladies, give us a hand. Oh. Coming back, I said there were a little easier if we're talking about the gorgeous ladies of wrestling, the story of the DVD, it's out, it's available. You can get this thing on Amazon.com if you're a wrestling fan of any degree. This is must see material. I enjoyed the living hell out of it. I don't flap my gums about anything I don't believe in. It's a great, it's a great watch. I would get down to my rating here and a little bit, but let's talk going back a little Egypt Angelina, host of After Buzz Redneck Island Guy, had a blast hanging out with you guys the other day. That was so fun. I want to come back for the finale here in a week and a half. OK, please. Yeah. I can't believe this next one, but I had a good time hanging out with you guys. And you're Jacob, OK, Catfish did a good job too. Of course, I was just nice to meet Les. Hey, let's talk about the reunion because this was a lot of work put the same together, and this is your brainstorm to get the girls back together, correct? Well, yeah. See, with this documentaries, we didn't know how it was going to finish. We didn't know Fiji was going to tell us what she told us. You know that she was going to be destitute and that she was going to, you know, that she wanted to see how we were doing and were like, Well, let's figure out a way for Fiji to see us, and that's healthy. That's how this documentary organically evolved. It was all organic. Everything that you're seeing in this documentary is exactly how it played out. And this is the only GLOW reunion that is you'll see girls at this reunion that don't want to have a public profile, but they're here for Fiji. So they drove. There was no money in this for anybody. They had to get there on their own accord. And it was such a beautiful, beautiful moment for all of us to share with Fiji because we kept it as a surprise, and she didn't know that we were all going to be standing there for her when the door opened up and we didn't know if Matt was going to be there. You know, we didn't know who was going to end up showing up. And, you know, it just was meant to be because it was such a beautiful time for all of us. So glad Big Momma was able to share and that now that she just passed, that she always have those memories with us and we all have those memories with her. So it was just a just a gorgeous time explained to me. And you're getting a little emotional right now. Explain to me what it was like to to see everybody because, you know, sometimes you get away from things so long as like the memories of us are so strong that you kind of do want to see everybody, but you don't as well because you've separated. So how was the reunion and what was it like to have all the girls back together again? You know, it was so awesome. And for me, because I was kind of spearheading this whole campaign of finding the girls, I got to know the third and fourth season girls. And I was wondering when we all get into a room or the first two seasons going to hang out together, are they going to want to engage with the third and fourth season because they think this is the first time they met each other? No communique whatsoever. But we're in this room and that didn't matter who you are. There was that sisterhood. There was this camaraderie that you were in the trenches and we all had the same story. It was the same director. We all felt, you know, the the abuse that we got when we were, you know, in, you know, getting pressure cooked by this man. And it was, you know, it was just a really beautiful time. Now Fiji being one of the only girls to go all four seasons, so it was nice that they all came together for her. Let's talk briefly about what what the girls have done post glow, because I know you're very passionate and outspoken about what guys and gals do once they leave the squared circle. So how seemingly has everyone made the transition post ring? Most of them all made a great transition. I'm very happy to report that all the girls that I'm in communication with all have happy lives. I think the reason I don't know where the rest of them are, maybe is because of sad stories or whatever is going on. But the ones that I am aware of, the ones that you can connect with on social media are all very mentally healthy and happy to engage with you. We have had time since this documentary where one girl has been down and out and we this is all back end stuff, but we are we are there on these large, you know, male feeds on Facebook, and we're sending out the love and doing what we can to support each other in their time of need. Well, with that being said, is there anything you can provide a website so they can get their social media information active or available? Yeah, if anyone is looking, here's the best thing to do if anyone wants to know where their favorite glow girl is. I know where they're at on my Facebook profile. Glow Little Egypt go to the Notes section. Look for Glow Girls on Facebook. Every link is there. Glow Girls on Twitter. Every link is there. I will get you connected to your girls if they're available to get connected to, and you'll be able to engage and share your memories with your favorite glow star who is one of your favorite. Obviously, besides me, I'm not going to put that pressure on you. But who did you enjoy? Well, I had a crush on Tina Ferrari, but always that thing for The Nutcracker, too. I just I said she was just that short haircut, the Russian accent, and I just thought she was. She's a pretty lady. Yeah, and I loved her schtick. I loved her character. I love the way she conducted her business. But. I had many favorites. Can we talk about Tina Ferrari because later in life, you got to work with her in the spotlight, like you said, you know, earlier turn in ivory. Yeah, and mean she had a hellacious career, three time WWE Champion. And she man, I mean, she was the only glow girl to go into right into the next regime or to the next level. Right. And had a wonderful career. And I know she's now pursuing she does a lot of stuff with animals. Yeah, she's showing her passion. She seems very happy. And by all accounts, from what I've seen ever and on the video on the DVD is still beautiful, still put together and still keep in shape. Yeah. And for those ivory fans out there, she is now coming back into the fold through the Cauliflower Alley club she wants to work within. That's that organization to promote what she can. She's been asked to do a seminar and, you know, kind of give her credit. And so for the new people coming to the CAC, you'll probably see a seminar from Lisa next year, she on Twitter. She is not. She doesn't do Twitter. She doesn't really do Facebook. I try and promote everything that she's doing to try and keep her name up there. She's she just loves her dogs, and she's not really that interested. Lisa, jump on board on some level, please, I can stay in touch with you. Hey, before we wrap up, let's talk about one thing you said when we were talking one of the reservations you had when y'all got hot and Roland, y'all were worried as the women of Glow concerned about the backlash from the other wrestling organizations. Oh, right. Well, because it's not just that, you know, we were actually making fun of wrestling, Matt. Matt is not couldn't give a rat's a*s about wrestling. David did. We wanted to provide really good wrestling content in our show. Matt couldn't care less about that. He was skit oriented, character development. So we were thinking, Oh my gosh, are we ever going to run one day, run into someone and then just get pelted? You're going to get mad at you guys for not just destroying the business. For me, you see through storylines, but that was the glow was exactly what it was supposed to be. It was true to his nature. That's what I loved about it. It was upfront and honest. Why do you think nothing else has come after this, anything similar to glow that's really stuck? Why did it stick in the 80s, but it's not sticking now? That's a very good question. It's a very good question. But and and thinking of that question, I just think, you know, an all woman roster at the time was right. The chemistry was right. I just start thinking about the element or the the women's professional scene now, and I just would love to see more characters like there were back then. Cool. I do, too. And how this applies to the guys. Do, like I say, if you watch, if you're in the business and you're currently performing in the ring, you can learn something from his DVD by the commitment to character. These women commit to, I mean, because you guys, once you're in, I mean, you're in the back of the cab, you know? And you know, like when you get on the road, everybody call me Steve, but I work up. They call me stone cold at the combine. I mean, back when you guys left your own devices, you'll never broke character. You were little Egypt. Tina was Tina mouth. Fiji was Fiji. Big Bad Mama was mama. You didn't know each other's real names. No, no. It made it so hard to find and find everyone when we needed to. So I agree. Yeah, yeah, we loved that. And now when I hear my name called, when someone says, Hey, little Lee, I know if you're going to be using my name like that, you're either invested in wrestling or we have some type of, you know, some type of similar story that's going to bind us together. And so I take my nickname very seriously. I wear it with a badge of honor and we all do. We all do. And every girl, every globe girl that's listening to this right now is like, Oh, Egypt, because they want you to know that they loved the wrestling that we we were apprehensive about how we were going to be taken by the wrestling community. And honestly, it took it took Karl our reaching out to me on Facebook, saying You got to come to Cauliflower Alley Club and I went by myself the first time because I didn't know. I mean, every, you know, I didn't know if they were going to be like, you know, you know, because one of the girls last year didn't want to talk to me because I was a little girl. One of the girls from the WWE getting inducted did not want to talk to me because I was a girl man. I say this to that my name is stone cold. Steve Austin. I was a big a*s glow fan. I'm glad you're on my show. US how much I believed in it. So much. I believe in this DVD. Let's talk about the DVD one last time because one of the things I watch you sing twice. You know that. And then I watched all the what I loved about it. There's so many bonus features. All this gets different profiles, different gals interviews, what they're doing now. What I missed was audio commentary because I didn't go under the sound setting and I was looking for that to fill in a little bit of the lack of information on David. Plain and a little bit more information on Match, remember, but I understand and the audio commentary, you guys bring the 4-1-1 and fill in a lot of gaps with that correct? We do. And I'm sorry, I missed that. My apologies. I'm not a technology guy. Are you kidding? Our apologies. How about let's make that a little user friendly? How about like menu bonus clips? Billy Corgan interviews so-and-so and it. It wasn't done like that, and I apologize. But that that bonus reel with Billy Corgan, lead singer, the Smashing Pumpkins, doing the question and answer segment. We do give you the four one one on David and Man in the behind the scenes feel for me, Hollywood, Matilda the Hun. We're doing it. And so even though you can get glow right now free on logo TV because that's where it's airing, you can. But it's missing 14 minutes of good content because of the commercial interruptions. So you're kind of seeing three quarters of the GLOW movie if you need to see it for free. That's the way to do it. Or you can go rent it online for 399. But if you get the DVD for, I think it's like 15 bucks or something really outrageously cheap, it's worth it. You get it. Go to Amazon.com, get it because it's the bonus reel that is so awesome and amazing, and it's such a nice addition to the whole Globe story. It finishes the glow story for us. Now you can go to Bakhash one account and click on the Steve Austin Show banner, click on the Amazon banner, then get the story of the gorgeous ladies of wrestling. And you know how of five star rating. I had initially given us a 3.5 and I gave it to three point five, and it's a great mark because of the missing information on Sam McLain. And but that was also based on the fact I couldn't find the audio commentary. Now that I know that they're I'm bumping it up to a four, I'm going to go home and listen to that. But that's what I think about this DVD that you gave me the information that I missed in the video presentation. So now that I know that I'm giving it a solid four out of five stars, and again, I highly recommend the story of the gorgeous ladies of wrestling. Now on that bonus feature, Matt Singer does get interviewed. OK, so that's that's that's helping a brother out here. I dig it. After he saw it and he felt safe, he stepped up to give us his interview. That is on the bonus features. Well, tell us one more time you're on Twitter at Little Egypt. Yes, your Facebook is what my first name is Glo. My last name is Little Egypt combined, and I also have the official page of Little Egypt. So if you're looking to connect with the glo family, if you want to fall in love with Glo all over again, if you want to become connected with us again, connect with me first and I will send you to the right direction. I will take care of you. We want, we want to connect with our fans again. We love to you. We've always loved you and we want to come back and embrace the whole glow phenomenon with you again. Give me a mo. I'm going to buy this. You know what? I'm going to know I'm going to bring my DVD and I'm going to send it home with your a*s because I want you to watch this damn thing. You missed out a lot. You young whippersnapper. You did. I need to get educated. I was looking at some of you women on YouTube. Jeez, you women were hot women wrestling and there were some beauties, but there were some great personalities and I would have loved being a fly on wall. Even if those damn houses would have been a damn right. We would have loved to have you living in the house. The girls and the girls would not have been running around the casino had they had known that they could get their hands on stone cold until would have got a hold of my ass, you know, and see what happened, she wouldn't have shared. See, that's the thing she wouldn't have shared, so I would have loved to just be working room service at that to say, Go, give me Mo. Got a good idea there anybody. You got anything else, mo na. It's gonna be. What else can we talk about? Religion? Let's rap and sing up. We got to go home, sign well, blows, go ahead. I just want to say, you know, stone cold. Thank you for putting us over because, you know, this is a part of our wrestling history that doesn't have a big promotion behind it to push it forward that we don't have a Hall of Fame. We don't have we don't have an organization behind us feeding any money into keeping this fire going. So thank you for adding some more fuel to the fire and giving us, you know, your thumbs up on the DVD because with that endorsement that you know that that comes to us and we, you know, we wear that with a lot of pride and we think, well, you know, we got stoked stone cold's endorsement. So go screw yourself if you didn't like, it's not my problem. You got my endorsement. I'm a big fan of anything that happens in the ring I grew up watching. Glow is a big part of my life and I enjoyed two years of entertainment. It's nice to finally know why the doors closed on that upstart federation organization gals in the ring, gorgeous ladies of wrestling. I know the story. I was sad a little bit because I didn't want to know, but I'm happy because I had to know I got all the information I needed to know. I'm going to go back and listen to the audio commentary. This is Steve Austin. I want to thank Little Egypt for driving down here to Hollywood, California to be on the show. Check out this DVD. It's a mad some b***h. I'll get your a*s down the road.
