The Dangerous Women of Wrestling somestimes refered to as D.W.O.W or Dangerous Women was formed in late 1999 as an all female entertainment show then going under the name G.L.O.O.W (Gorgeous Ladies of Oil Wrestling) Highlighting the T&A factor with all oil wrestling match cards featuring such talent as Nicole Bass, Ryan Shamrock, Shannon Dallas Hall (American Gladiators) Dana Dodson (ESPN fitness and playboy model) with a mix of strippers such as Sandy Beaches (a Sandman influenced charactor), Angel, Heather McShane, Devon Fox, Etc. In April 2000 the G.L.O.O.W would come to stand for Gorgeous Ladies of Outrageous Wrestling due to the less frequent amount of oil wrestling matches and the influx of the girls getting trained and performing professional wrestling bouts. With charaters such as G.I. Ho, Tai "Killer" Weed, Pussy Willow, The Mae Family, Brittany "The School Girl" Missy "The School Girl", Lady Storm, The Smoke, Psycho Bytch and The Sound Guy along with a mix of already established female wrestling talent such as Jazz, Bobcat, Gorgeous George, Alexis Laree (a.k.a. Mickie James) there was a more professional wrestling feel to the shows. The company would begin to air their television show in early 2001 on WGTW channel 48 the former Philadelphia television home of Extreme Championship Wrestling. The show ran for 43 weeks as the top rated wrestling show to air on WGTW dispite being on at such a late night hour. Some fans would refer to the company as a female version ECW as the best way to descibe G.L.O.O.W. In Febuary of 2003 the name of the company was changed to Dangerous Women of Wrestling The company was known to make a home for itself at various places in the Northeast such as the Philadelphia Nationalal Gaurd Armory, Froggy's in Dover,DE, Tuxedo Juction in Danbury,CT, 15 North in Westchester,PA, Viking Hall (the former ECW arena) in Philadelphia,PA just to name a few.
