With Miami Sweet Heat, Penelope Pink and more, David McLane is proud of WOW-Women Of Wrestling

David McLane is the creator of GLOW-Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling and later WOW-Women Of Wrestling, two nationally syndicated TV series, which have helped springboard and then continue the evolution of a revolution of women’s wrestling.

WOW-Women Of Wrestling is the focus these days, featuring some experienced pro wrestlers with new names and some newcomers like Coach Campanelli, Kandi Krush and Commander Sahara Spars. Vignettes on their legit background are also part of the weekly TV show.

It’s an all-women’s wrestling group of superheroes and villains, delivering action and creating fun and excitement for a family-friendly audience.

Here is my audio interview with David McLane, where he discusses WOW’s TV series, Penelope Pink, Lana Star, Randi Rah Rah, AJ (Lee) Mendez and more.

During the interview, McLane also discussed Miami Sweet Heat (twins Lindsey and Laurie Carlson) winning the WOW Tag Team Tournament. They beat the Tonga Twins in the finals. A unique match-up of twins vs. twins (sisters vs. sisters) for the titles.

To finish off the Tonga Twins, Miami Sweet Heat received some assistance from another Florida indie wrestler Penelope Pink (Marina Tucker) and her manager Lana Star.

Florida has quite the connection with those titles. Ocala’s Santana Garrett of the All American Girls is a former WOW tag champ as well as Miami’s Adrenaline (Diamante, Angel Rose). Santana teamed with Amber O’Neal, and Adrenaline teamed with Fire (Kiera Hogan).

WOW referee Paige Prinzivalli (a WWE alum) is the first female referee on WOW TV this season. She worked the Ice Cold vs. Foxxy Fierce match on WOW TV.

Prinzivalli wrestled as Chloe Christmas on the Florida indies and became referee Paige and later referee Blair Baldwin for WWE’s NXT. Penelope Pink is also new to the WOW roster. She wrestles as Marina Tucker on the Florida indies and is the Coastal Championship Wrestling women’s champion.

Speaking of South Florida, WOW tag team champs Miami Sweet Heat, aka the Carlson Twins (Laurie and Lindsey), trained at WXW, under the direction of Afa the Wild Samoan in (Central Florida) Minneola, north of Orlando.

Hailing from Hooper, Nebraska, they excelled in hoops, ironically, and parlayed their basketball skills at Logan View High School (Raiders) into an athletic scholarship at College of Saint Mary (Flames) in Omaha, Nebraska. That’s where they earned a degree in occupational therapy, before advancing and completing a master’s program.
