On the season 12 premiere of Grit & Glitter, it's the 2024 women's wrestling draft!
This year Harley and Em are joined by Tess Schmucker (Women's Wrestling Watch) and Meg James (Gravy Bowl) to compete to draft their own rosters, drawing wrestlers and broadcasters of marginalized genders from WWE, AEW, TNA, Japan, and the indies with each of them trying to build the strongest all-around roster.
Who will be their #1 draft picks? Which wrestlers will be the most coveted? Which top stars will go unclaimed? And which promotion will prove the hardest to draw from?

Still reeling from the Janel Grant and Ashley Massaro revelations, Harley and Em turn to their Patreon podcast Women's Wrestling Entertainment. Over 11 episodes, they've traced the history of women in WWE from the very beginning.
This week we present an abridged version of those first 30 years (1963-1993). The monstrous legacy of The Fabulous Moolah, the tarnished careers of Mad Maxine, Wendi Richter, and the Jumping Bomb Angels, missed opportunities with Sensational Sherri and Luna Vachon, and WWE's first female referee falling prey to Vince McMahon.
30 years in 70 minutes, proving that nothing is new and all of today's evils are just part of a larger pattern that's existed since day one.
