AEW Star Ryan Nemeth Reveals He Had A Role On The Nixed Season Of GLOW

AEW Star Ryan Nemeth, who is one-half of the Wingmen, recently appeared on an episode of the “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, where he discussed what he was doing throughout the pandemic, but taking indie show bookings was not one of them.

This is what Ryan Nemeth said:

“That whole year of the pandemic, I was doing stunt coordinating, wrestling, and TV shows, and music videos and movies.” “I was a little apprehensive about doing indie bookings during all that. It was all so mysterious that I thought like, unless it’s with a major company, I’m gonna hold back on the shows, but luckily in LA, for some reason that year, everybody wanted to do wrestling stuff.”

“And I was just available to do that. Snapchat did a wrestling app video game thing. In A.P Bio, the NBC show did a wrestling episode, and they brought me in and said, ‘Can you help us with dialogue, finding a ring, finding wrestlers, planning out the matches?’ It was pretty cool. Some music videos and then just finishing up the movie HEEL we did. I was in a ring a lot but not having matches matches, kind of like segments of matches.”

Ryan Nemeth then talked about how he had a role on the final season of GLOW before it got cancelled.

This is what Ryan Nemeth said:

“I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this, I was on the final season of GLOW before it got cancelled.”“So working on it with Chavo, it awesome. We filmed one episode. Just finished one episode and then everything got put on pause, and we thought okay, in January, we’ll pick up again.”

“And I was a boyfriend of one of the characters, and I was thinking, maybe this is a one-off episode, but she pulled me aside one day and said, ‘I think you’re in the whole season,’ and I was like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s a big break. Wrestling and acting, that’s perfect. That’d be great,’ and then we just kept hearing, well, they’re gonna delay it more, delay it more. And then, hey, guys, we’re just canceling the whole thing. I thought, come on, just make a movie or something.”

Ryan Nemeth then talked about how he got his “Hollywood Hunk” nickname.

This is what Ryan Nemeth said:

“My trunks said ‘Hunk’, and he (Khan) goes, ‘Okay, but what kind of hunk are you?’ And I said, ‘Hollywood,’ and he goes, ‘Hollywood Hunk, let’s go.’” “In any other business, really, ‘I’m gonna do this today?’ No, you’re not. To be trusted creatively with things and so I do feel every trip I come here, I am writing, performing and then wrestling.”

“All of those things are happening. It doesn’t feel like, if I’m secretly working on a script, I’m cheating on a job. This is fun. This is great. I remember that being a big thing I was worried about. I would ask him, ‘Hey, if I book an acting job, or a commercial or something, will you be mad at that?’ And he goes, ‘No, it fits your character. It’s perfect.’ And I’m like, man, what a good feeling.”
