Grit & Glitter episodes

  • Galloping Through The Morning Dew
    It's been three months since Triple H has taken over head of creative for WWE so Harley and Em do the unthinkable - they watch every single women's match and segment from Raw, NXT, and SmackDown.  Damage Ctrl defend the tag titles!  Mandy Rose celebrates one year as NXT Champion!  Liv Morgan battles Sonya Deville in a No DQ match!
    Who do Em and Harley think will be the participants for Survivor Series WarGames?
    What did Em think was a very Chris Jericho segment?
    Which characters feel like they stepped out of an episode of WOW?
    Were the segments on this week's NXT enough to turn Harley into a regular viewer again?
    1 hr 18 min
  • Tigers Still Lie In The Grass

    They discuss Syuri landing at #1 without an American résumé, the biggest debuts, the biggest drop-offs, what percentage of different promotions' rosters ranked, and who is currently the top woman on the American indies.

    Harley chats with "The Fallen Flower" Kikyo about the evolution of her character, differences between the California and Washington wrestling scenes, and why all-women promotions are still important in 2022.

  • Arpeggio
    It's a historic crossover as Emily and Harley are joined by Karen Peterson (POST Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Illustrated).  Karen uses her Japanese fluency to cover Stardom and New Japan and provide a window into how these promotions are viewed in their home nation without things getting lost in translation.
    They discuss how Stardom has changed under Bushiroad, the forthcoming IWGP Women's Championship, and why Japanese fans were shocked to see Karen get a photo with L.I.J.

  • And What Can I Do? I’m Into You
    One week late but all the wiser, Em and special guest Lindsay Baker discuss episode one of the new season of WOW Superheroes.  While WOW's syndication deal may give the show access to markets nationwide, does a TV-only deal work in the modern age of streaming?  More importantly, was WOW's premiere episode worth the wait (and the scramble to find it)?

    Harley, Em, and Val Pancakes surf the world wide web up to the Pacific Northwest for Casgaydia!  Brian Bell, host of our sister podcast LGBT In The Ring, joined up with Washington promotion Without A Cause to present a night of wrestling including Sandra Moone vs. Max The Impaler, Keita vs. Ashton Starr, Dark Sheik, Kikyo, tiny tables, & more.

  • We’ll Never Learn, We Don’t Deserve Nice Things
    Em, Mayydayy, and friend of the show Kristen Ashly discuss the women's action (all three matches of it) from AEW All Out 2022.  From ACTUAL intergender wrestling to underwhelming feud finishes to a fabulous four-way for a (sigh) interim women's champ, they discuss the current state of the division, the strengths of its roster, and the continuing weaknesses of its booking.
