Having studied the works of August Strindberg, Ruth relies heavily on method acting. One day, she is given an invitation for an audition which turns out to be for the fledgling women 's wrestling promotion Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling ( GLOW ). Ruth initially has personality conflicts with director Sam Sylvia due to her tendency to overact in the ring. Aside from her acting style, Sam often questions her looks, unsure whether of not he finds her attractive. Making matters worse is her affair with Mark Eagan, the husband of her best friend Debbie. Because of this, she is known by the other women as a `` homewrecker ''. After several weeks of struggling to come up with a character, she creates the in - ring persona of `` Zoya the Destroya '', a Soviet heel based on the real GLOW wrestler Colonel Ninotchka. Debbie Eagan Debbie Eagan ( Betty Gilpin ) is a former actress and Ruth 's best friend. She is best known for her role as Laura Morgan in the soap opera Paradise Cove until she was written off the series due to her pregnancy. Her friendship with Ruth is severely strained when she discovers that Ruth had an affair with her husband Mark during and after her pregnancy, sparking a cat fight during practice that inspires Sam to cast Debbie as GLOW 's leading lady. While trying to convince her to join GLOW, Sam theorizes that despite her popularity in Paradise Cove, she was being held back by the show 's writers and her character was put in a coma for a whole season as punishment for improvising too many lines. Originally oblivious to the professional wrestling business, Debbie 's mindset changes when she watches a local wrestling show and sees its similarities to soap opera before having a one - night - stand with male wrestler Steel Horse. She later on realizes that wrestling is a liberating experience, as her body is not constrained by Mark or her son Randy in the ring. Debbie 's in - ring persona is `` Liberty Belle '', a patriotic Southern belle based on the real GLOW wrestlers Americana and The Southern Belles : Scarlet and Tara. Sam Sylvia Sam Sylvia ( Marc Maron ) is an exploitation film director hired to direct GLOW. He had directed eight films in the 1970s and claims that two of them are taught in colleges.

Sam has a chronic drug and alcohol addiction that has led to one divorce and multiple affairs with other women ; his habits continue in GLOW when he has an affair with wrestler Rhonda Richardson. He often has conflicts with GLOW 's producer Sebastian `` Bash '' Howard over the creative direction of the promotion, with Sam going for a dystopian sci - fi theme and Bash incorporating colorful stereotypes. Sam is loosely based on Matt Cimber, the director of the original GLOW series. Cherry Bang Cherry Bang ( Sydelle Noel ) is a former stuntwoman who becomes GLOW 's head trainer. She previously worked in Sam 's exploitation films in the 1970s and had an affair with him.

She also suffered a miscarriage two years before joining GLOW. Cherry 's in - ring persona is `` Junkchain '', a female rapper. Carmen Wade Carmen Wade ( Britney Young ) is a 25 - year - old heavy - set woman who is part of a professional wrestling family.

Carmen 's in - ring persona is `` Machu Picchu '', a gentle Peruvian giant loosely based on the real GLOW wrestler Mount Fiji. Recurring characters Melanie Rosen Melanie Danielle `` Melrose '' Rosen ( Jackie Tohn ) is a `` party girl '' and chauffeur who worked as an extra in several films and music videos.

Sheila the she - wolf Sheila the She - Wolf ( Gayle Rankin ) is an antisocial woman who wears heavy black eye makeup and has a savage personality.
