Grit & Glitter

It's Christmas week and Harley is joined by 2023 Glitter Bomb nominee for Future Star, "The Adventuress" Lara Frazier!

They discuss the pitfalls of December birthdays, wrestling for Hoodslam, working at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, competing in the Lingerie Fighting Championship, and which Disney song most speaks to their gender identity.

Em and Harley talk the second show from new American joshi promotion Sukeban.  Arisa Nakajima vs. Unagi Sayaka to crown the first Sukeban World Champion.  The debuts of Sareee and Rina Yamashita.  A makeover for Konami.

How can they afford all this?  Is this the first wrestling promotion to get covered in Vogue?  Which current promotion is Sukeban perhaps most closely in line with?  Why aren't we getting five-star bangers, and is it purposeful?

It's our third annual Match Of The Year special!

December has arrived and voting is now open for the 2023 Glitter Bombs.  But before you vote, get some last-minute watch recommendations from a bunch of our friends as they shout out their favorite matches from the year including action from WWE, Impact, ROH, GCW, & more.

Em and Lindsay are joined by first-time guest Alex to watch the sixth episode of The Boulet Brothers' Dragula: Titans! entitled "The Ugly Ladies Of Wrestling Rematch!"

They analyze a drag reality competition's take on wrestling, rate each of the queens' wrestling gimmicks and matches, and continue the ongoing G&G saga of deep-thinking about the intersection of drag and pro wrestling.

Em and Harley are joined by returning guest Shay Sawyer to discuss the women's action at AEW Full Gear including "Timeless" Toni Storm capturing the women's title, where she goes from here, Julia Hart capturing the TBS title, whether Skye Blue is actually evil or not, the increased number of AEW pay-per-views, and the absences of Britt Baker, Thunder Rosa, Taya Valkyrie, and Nyla Rose, amongst others.

Harley and Don chat with Montreal wrestler "The Sweetest Pea" Kristara about being the first woman to hold tag gold in IWS Hardcore history, teaming with Alex Maze as Amazingly Sweet, and training under "Speedball" Mike Bailey.

Plus: from the archives, Harley chats with Abby Jane in May 2021 about summer vacation.

On the season 11 premiere, it's our Daylight Saving special!  Harley and Mayydayy turn back the clocks and embrace the darkness with some of the darkest matches in the history of women's wrestling:

• B3CCA vs. Love Doug in a blindfold match

On the season 10 finale, it's Halloween again!  Harley and Em are joined by Glitterati member Don and new friend Traci McFace to spin the old WCW Halloween Havoc wheel and make some deals.

They each land on a gimmick and then seek out a women's match from that type to watch.  Will they get a lumberjill match?  Princess of darkness?  Coal miner's glove?  Which wrestlers will be chosen to represent this Halloween?  Which matches will abandon their gimmicks halfway through?  Find out on another spooktacular edition of G&G.

Harley and Em are joined by PWI contributor Candace Cordelia to break down the first-ever PWI Women's 250!

They discuss the #1 ranked Rhea Ripley, biggest climbs and debuts, Natalya being the only woman to rank every year since the list's inception, and which promotions had the most roster representation.

Harley is joined by new friend of the show Von and Pennsylvania wrestler Journey Burke to talk about their favorite TV series - Gilmore Girls!

They discuss their favorite episodes, why they're all #TeamJess, which characters would make good pro wrestlers, which wrestlers would be right at home in Stars Hollow, and ship some new wrestler love interests for Lorelai and Rory.
