The review, Darren Franich, gave it an &#8220;A&#8221; grade. The review begins: &#8220;Part sports drama, part showbiz satire, part birth-of-the-modern-woman allegory \u2014 all heartbreaking glitter-blasted humanity \u2014 Netflix\u2019s <em>GLOW<\/em> is unlike any show I\u2019ve ever seen. I love it so much; it made me laugh, cry, think, and pump my fists in the air screaming, &#8216;Y<em>ESYESYES<\/em>!'&#8221; It also says: &#8220;The show examines stereotypes, hyperbolizes them, then deconstructs them&#8230;\u00a0The show\u2019s a comedy, half-farcical in its physicality, but there\u2019s a real generosity, too&#8230;\u00a0<em>GLOW<\/em>\u00a0takes everything over-the-top about professional wrestling, pushes it to higher levels of absurdity and melodrama, and finds something deeply personal, explicitly political, and wonderfully brute-force\u00a0<em>awesome<\/em>&#8230;\u00a0 It\u2019s a silly-smart\u00a0masterpiece, with an ensemble cast entirely made up of breakout characters&#8230;\u00a0 The attention <em>GLOW<\/em> pays to all 13 women warriors is the show\u2019s most invigorating argument: There <em>are<\/em> roles like this for women right now. More, please! More!&#8221;\u00a0[Thanks to Brian from Phoenix, Ariz. &#8211;\u00a026 Year PWTorch VIP Subscriber]<\/p>\n<p>-Also read TV Guide&#8217;s review <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvguide.com\/news\/glow-netflix-review\/\">HERE<\/a>, which notes the series gets better as the season progresses. Regarding the campy and cliched aspects, the reviewer writes: &#8220;It&#8217;s all done with a wink and a nod though, seeped in irony and a B-movie cheesiness that makes <em>GLOW<\/em> fun and sophisticated, down to the sapphic soft porn references.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>-Sunday, June 18 in Glasgow, Scotland, the ICW Fight Club taping included a no. 1 contendership match for their World Title.\u00a0Jack Jester defeated Lionheart, Tyler Bate, Davey Blaze, DCT, and Sha Samuels when he pinned Lionheart. Grado interfered when he attacked his rival, Samuels, clearing the ring for Jester to score the win. Joe Coffee, the current champ, watched from ringside and will defend against Jester on July 30. Bram attacked Jester afterward, setting up their match on July 9.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Please send news tips and results to pwtorch@pwtorch.com.
