GLAM Wrestling is the all women’s promotion that is an offshoot of HOODSLAM. Recently, Desi DeRata talked to KQED about what makes GLAM so special:
Desi DeRata on the Women’s Evolution:
“Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, and that’s what makes it for me, of course, is the crowds. It has changed a lot since the bra-and-panty matches that WWE used to have. Female everything—regarding combat sports—has been on the rise steadily, fans are starting to realize how cool that is.”
Desi DeRata on HOODSLAM:
“A lot of other wrestlers are critical [of Hoodslam], which is understandable ’cause this is their craft and they don’t want someone to mess it up for them. I think it’s a little more relaxed. You can have more fun.”
