Grit & Glitter – Details, episodes & analysis

It's the third annual women's wrestling draft and this year Harley and Em are joined by Charity Davis and Carrie White of Queens Ring Podcast!

They compete to draft their own rosters, drawing wrestlers and broadcasters of marginalized genders from WWE, AEW, TNA, Japan, and the indies.  Who will be their #1 draft picks?  Which controversial picks will warrant debates?  Why is Harley being cancelled?  What is SUF?  And what did poor Nic Nemeth do to deserve this?

Harley is joined by Val Pancakes and Don to reflect on another WrestleMania week on the indies!  Val was live in Las Vegas and attending 13(!) shows while Don watched close to that many from the comfort of their home.

They talk highlights from shows like Effy's Big Gay Brunch, Asé Wrestling, and Clusterfuck Forever, standout performances from wrestlers like Johnnie Robbie, Brittnie Brooks, Lena Kross, and Zoe Lucas, and tears from Effy and DARK Sheik's speeches.

It's the season 14 premiere and we're (finally) talking about customs matches!

Em finally chases down a dream as she gets Ray Lyn and Kayla Carroll to sit down and talk about the stigma and misconceptions around customs.  They discuss working for New England Female Wrestling, the opportunities customs afford, networking, and the sisterhood of wrestling.  And, yes, Ray's got some stories about the bad apples in the bunch as well.

On the season 13 finale, love is in the air because it's time for Valentine's Vavoc!  We redecorated our Halloween wheel and turned it into a shimmering circle of love, romance, and sexiness.  Harley, Em, Val Pancakes, and Lindsay take turns spinning for options like unwrapped, bound by love, boy/girl party, and holy matrimony.  Which match types will they get?  And how much time will they spend talking about their taxes?
