The only thing I really remember about it was the tall super - skinny chick they called "Skinny Minnie" and she was with the team that had the Green/White uniforms. That's about all I remember of it.

I remember watching it back in the day. Those girls were tough! They still have teams in and around Los Angeles.

Raquel Welch movie was Kansas City Bomber.
I used to watch roller derby in the 70s when I was a kid. I think it was on channel 50 in Detoit on Saturday night that I watched.

Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling!!!
Oh wait thats something else.
Hmmmm, I must've taken the wrong turn... down memory lane somewheres...


Hmm, what was that one called?
Oh I forget, but I do specifically remember watching my favorite roller derby team that dressed in yellow and black stripes...
and the teams always seemed to have one cute 'model' player that was quick...and one 'masher' that got the rough business done.

Yeah, leave it to hipsters to dreg up something awesome and make it all 'stylish' and pretencious and stupid.

Farmer's Daughter and Hollywood and Vine were the hottest GLOW wrestlers! I didn't know Porn Actresses could make such good wrestlers.

Man, I loved Roller Derby. My cousin and I would sit there and scream at the television. The rules never made any sense and I didn't care, I just loved it when everyone started wilding on each other.

Anyone ever see it live back then? Was it as crazy as on TV?
