Kurt Angle Says Netflix Series 'GLOW' Is Helping Bring Attention To Women's Wrestling

WWE Raw General Manager recently talked to the Dallas Observer regarding his return to WWE, the differences between the company he left and now and the recent Netflix hit "GLOW" which he says is helping bring more attention to women's wrestling:

I would say that GLOW’s popularity had an influence on us having women’s main event matches. But the WWE has been working on their women’s division for years, and we’ve already been leading up to having the girls main event TV shows.

A few years ago, WWE made the decision to stop referring to the women wrestlers as “divas.” When I was in WWE the first go-round, the women were having bikini pillow fights and it was all about the look of the girl. Now it’s all about their in-ring ability. GLOW is helping bring more attention to wrestling and women’s wrestling in particular. I think people who watch WWE will watch GLOW and vice-versa.
