Summary of Outside the Ropes Presents: Divas, Glitz and Glamour - The Untold Story of Women

Step outside the ropes and into a world that has to be heard about first hand to believe!

The Glitz and Glamour! The Trials and Tribulations! The Life Of Women Trying To Make It In A "Man?s World"!

Being a woman in the pro wrestling industry is not an easy life. Very few can make it to the big time, and those that do find it a constant struggle to be treated as more than just eye candy. To most of these women, their desire is to be taken as a serious athlete and break through the incredibly low glass ceiling for female performers.

Featuring over a dozen of the most famous females ever The Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young, Talia, April Hunter, Gorgeous George, Joanie "Chyna Doll" Laurer, Ryan Shamrock, Jackie Gayda, Sherri Martell, Tammy "Sunny" Sytch, Missy Hyatt, Francine, Baby Doll, Jasmin St. Claire, and many more! Each woman has her own unique story and take on the business both on their own experiences and that of how the industry treats "the fairer sex" in general.

Hear about how different life was for Moolah and Young who broke in during wrestling?s Golden Era in the 1940s and how these matriarchs of female wrestling feel about the business today. Find out about the struggle to transition from Playboy model to wrestler for April Hunter and how wrestling success translated into Playboy covers for Joanie Laurer. Life as a female inside every major wrestling organization from the WWE to WCW and from ECW to TNA is exposed in this incredible documentary. Are the pressures of drugs and alcohol, love and lust, and insider politics the same for the ladies as they are for men in the business?

PLUS ? "Divas, Glitz and Glamour" is packed with bonus features including matches starring the hottest women in independent wrestling today Sara Del Ray (WSX, ROH, Shimmer0, Nikki Roxx (TNA, Shimmer), Cheerleader Melissa (Shimmer, ChickFight), and Mercedes Martinez (Shimmer).
