With the second season of GLOW having premiered this past week on Netflix, here’s a list of the best wrestler cameos from the first season, since I haven’t done a write up for it, yet.
Tag: The Wrestling Episode
Grimm
“Silence of the Slams”
Season 5, Episode 13
3/18/2016
Not counting the animated Scooby Doo TV episodes, I think this might be my last entry regarding spooky wrestling-themed TV episodes. It’s also my favorite title of the spooky wrestling episodes. I’m surprised this hasn’t been used as an actual title of a Halloween-themed indy wrestling show. Continue reading “Grimm”
Animaniacs
“Fake”
Season 2, Episode 4
11/12/1994
Despite watching this episode when it was still available on Netflix, today it was announced that Hulu will not only be adding Animaniacs (and, more importantly, Tiny Toon Adventures) to their catalog of shows, but that they’ve given a two-season order to revive the show. Now here’s Animaniacs crapping on pro wrestling and its fans.

Beautiful Ladies of Wrestling
Season 5, Episode 13

“Robots Versus Wrestlers”
Season 5, Episode 22
5/10/2010
Saved by the Bell
“Pinned to the Mat”
Season 1, Episode 9

Jessie
Lizard Scales and Wrestling Tales
Season 3, Episode 5
11/15/2013

The League
“Bro-Lo El Cordero”
Season 4, Episode 9
12/6/2012
The League is leaving Netflix at the end of this month. So, if you haven’t yet, do yourself a favor and watch this episode where the guys take to the squared circle, lucha libre style.
The Simpsons
“Gorgeous Grampa”
Season 24, Episode 14
3/3/2013
