Trivia / WOW Women of Wrestling

Go To

  • Acting for Two: Kristen Davidson played both The Disciplinarian and Misery of The Daughters of Darkness during the promotion's original run.
  • Breakup Breakout: Averted. Unlike GLOW, which gave the world the woman who became Ivory in WWE, no one from WOW's original run made it to the big time. Santana Garrett did get signed by TNA, AAA and WWE, but she was already WOW's biggest star for reasons largely unrelated for what she did in WOW prior and was still on WOW after all of them didn't work out.
  • The Danza: Lana Kinnear as Lana Star
  • Fan Community Nicknames:
    • The Rioters ("The Heavy Metal Maniac" Riot)
    • Danger's Dawg Pack
  • One-Steve Limit:
    • While they weren't on the show at the same time, the name Razor has been used by both Christina Von Eerie and Sarah Wolfe.
    • Similarly, the names and gimmicks of Randi Rah Rah, Ice Cold, and the Disciplinarian have been used by two different people each.
    • Americana and the Heavy Metal Sisters go back even further, dating back to GLOW, though with different performers in the roles.
  • The Pete Best: Wendi Wheels was originally a member of The Beach Patrol as "Sunny."
  • Similarly Named Works
    • Another Poison operated in the US during the early 2000s.
    • During the original run there was a woman on the independent circuit known as Fire. During the 2018 revival, Kiera Hogan was picked up from the independent circuit and renamed Fire.
    • World Of Wrestling and Warriors Of Wrestling also operated in the United States, and since Women Of Wrestling's revival saw more independent circuit wrestlers come in, all three WOWs had some talent overlap.
    • There was also a Women Of Wrestling in Puerto Rico at the same time this show was revived in 2012. WOW PR's main star, Black Rose, had tried to get on both shows but this one didn't take her. If Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select is to be believed, WOW did offer Black Rose a job in 2021, for their 2022 relaunch, but she found their offer insulting. Speculation is that she was offered the job so that WOW could capitalize on the controversy that surrounded Tessa Blanchard at the time, which Black Rose was a part of.
  • What Could Have Been: An intended second PPV, Spring Vengeance, never happened.
  • You Look Familiar:
    • The Temptress is Katarina Waters reviving her Winter character from Impact Wrestling.
    • Jungle Grrrl, real name Erica D. Porter, was one of Bonesaw McGraw's "Bone-ettes" in Spider-Man. Porter was also Ultimate Pro Wrestling's Women's Champion in California.
    • "The Real Deal" Selina Majors and Thug were, respectively, Bambi and Peggy Lee Leather in GLOW, POWW, at AWA SuperClash III and about a million other promotions. Peggy Lee was also Lady X in the LPWA.
