Harley & Em are joined by very special guest Edith Surreal to present the ninth installment in their series "Living Legends."  With this series, we strive to present a definitive look at the lives and careers of some of your favorite wrestlers.  Where did they come from?  How did they get to where they are today?  And why are they so beloved?
This time: it’s Kimber Lee!  From being the first female graduate of the CZW Academy to the only woman to hold the Chikara Grand Championship, through going viral with Chris Dickinson, showing out in the Mae Young Classic, and wrestling in the final Shimmer match ever.  This is the story of the princess who saved herself.

Pennies From Heaven

Harley is joined by returning friends Kristen Ashly and Mr. Warren Hayes to discuss the women's action at AEW Revolution!
Does the character work of "Timeless" Toni Storm hinder her ability to wrestle to her full potential?  Where does Deonna Purrazzo go from here?  What are Stokely Hathaway's intentions?  Could increasing the number of pay-per-views give women like Thunder Rosa, Hikaru Shida, and Serena Deeb actual things to do?  Will the imminent arrival of Mercedes Moné change anything with the booking of the women's division?  Is Skye Blue the Igor of the House Of Black?

I Wanna Say How Long

Seems Fine, Though It Ain't

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.

Ring My Bell(e) (w/ Missy Sampson of Belle 2 Bell)

Don talks to Missy Sampson of the Monster Factory, a 25+ year veteran of the wrestling business who is taking her wrestling and training experience to a new level with her brand new, all-women's promotion Belle 2 Bell.
Debuting this March, B2B promises exciting, dynamic match-ups between women talent both well-established and up and coming. Don and Missy talk about the conception of B2B, the influence of various colleagues inside Monster Factory, and run through many of the names on the Ring The Bell card. 

Knocking On Forbidden Doors

In the aftermath of more disgusting Vince McMahon revelations, we continue to spotlight the power of women in wrestling.
 
Em and Don cover Effy's Big Gay Brunch 8 including BUSSY vs. MxM, Sawyer Wreck vs. Lindsay Snow, and the wrath of Parrow.
 
Then: Harley and Jacqui discuss the women's Royal Rumble match including Bayley winning, Jade Cargill debuting, and a shocking appearance from TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace.

GGW The Royal Grumble

Grit & Glitter Wrestling proudly presents the first-ever Royal Grumble!
Harley, Em, and friend of the show Brian Bell each hired their own personal cadre of independent wrestlers to compete in a 20-woman, over the top rope battle royal.  The winner walks away with some sort of cup-shaped prize.
Who will walk through the curtain when the buzzer goes off?  Which alliances will form inside of the Grumble?  #westcoastbestcoast??
BUT: Before the Grumble even begins, Harley drops a bombshell surprise on Em and the whole G&G universe.  You won't want to miss this historic episode of Grit & Glitter!

I Can't, I Can't, Can't Get Over You

Harley, Em, and Mayydayy cover the re-rebranding of TNA Wrestling!  Going down like a cold glass of New Coke, they were Hard To Kill and we talk it all - Dana Brooke arrives, Trinity departs?, the Death Dollz re-Decay, Xia Brookside and Dani Luna sign, MK Ultra get squashed, Mickie James is nowhere to be found, and Jordynne Grace capitalizes on Deonna Purrazzo’s exit to become the new face of the Knockouts division.
