The scene where Cherry locks Melrose in a sleeper hold is based on a story told by original GLOW trainer Mando Guerrero, where he put an unnamed GLOW candidate in the same submission hold after she boasted that wrestling was fake.
When Sam tells Cherry that she will be training the cast, he tells her "if you need help, ask the big one." This prompts Tamee, portrayed by Kia Stevens, to say "I don't know anything about wrestling." The irony is that Stevens is the only female cast member who is actually a pro wrestler, having wrestled all over the world winning championships, even wrestling for a short time in WWE.
