Ryan Nemeth was pleased to have been a part of the Netflix series GLOW, even though the episodes he worked on were never broadcast.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Nemeth reflected on his time working with GLOW and what was in store for the unaired final season. He said,
“Yeah, the [fourth] season seemed to be exciting. The main character was going on the road with an actual women’s touring wrestling company and having adventures out there and then, leaving the GLOW show basically and getting out there in the wrestling world. But I guess it was not to be. What a bummer that was to hear about that.
“Very funny show. There was a wrestling episode, so I was the Chavo of that show, basically, just helping them with finding a ring, training actors and stunt people, finding wrestlers, whatever. And I saw someone the final day of shooting wearing a face mask, and I said, ‘Hey, what’s that all about?’ And he said, ‘You know, that pandemic, the flu that’s going around.’ And I said, ‘Oh, I didn’t hear about it yet.’ That moment is just burned into my brain is just me going, ‘Okay, don’t know what that is’ and then the very next day, bam, everything closes.”
GLOW focused on the 80s promotion of the same name and saw a cast including Alison Brie (Community), Betty Gilpin (Nurse Jackie), and Kia ‘Awesome Kong’ Stevens.
