Your Host: James Walsh
One of the coolest things about doing a pro wrestling podcast is you get to really hear the stories of unique people. From my old conversation with New Jack many years ago talking about how he had killed before to my conversation with Jasmin St. Claire about breaking porn world records all the way to discussing the finding of Jesus Christ with the likes of Sting, Ted DiBiase, and Shawn Michaels. Everyone has a story and most are really interesting ones. Well, meet Tiffany Mellon. She is the original GLOW girl from Seasons 3 and 4. Oh, and she also is a Hall of Fame Adult Fim Star and a bounty hunter. These things don’t typically all go together. But, somehow, it is her life’s journey and what a story she has to tell!

One of the coolest things about doing a pro wrestling podcast is you get to really hear the stories of unique people. From my old conversation with New Jack many years ago talking about how he had killed before to my conversation with Jasmin St. Claire about breaking porn world records all the way to discussing the finding of Jesus Christ with the likes of Sting, Ted DiBiase, and Shawn Michaels. Everyone has a story and most are really interesting ones. Well, meet Tiffany Mellon. She is an original GLOW girl from Seasons 3 and 4. Oh, and she also is a Hall of Fame Adult Film Star and a bounty hunter. These things don’t typically all go together. But, somehow, it is her life’s journey and what a story she has to tell! TIFFANY MELLON:
On how she ended up as part of GLOW:
“I had just recently become a fan of the show (GLOW). And, when I saw that auditions were opening, I said to my agent, “Michael! I want to try out for that show!” Michael said, “You? You want to try out for that?” (laughs) He knew I was not at all athletic. I said, “Yes! I love it!” He said, “What do you love about it?” I said, “The skits, the skimpy outfits, the thongs going up the cracks of their asses, the whole thing!” He was like, “Ok, sweetie. Ok.” He was a flaming queer. But, he got me an audition and I got to meet Matt Cimber, director of GLOW. For those who don’t know, Matt Cimber was married to Jayne Mansfield when she was killed. They had a son together named Tony and Tony Cimber was our assistant director for GLOW. So, GLOW was run by Jayne Mansfield’s husband and son! Well, I met him at his tennis club in a suburb of LA called Agoura. We talked for 90 minutes, maybe 2 hours. And, he cast me. So, it was time for me to pack up all my stuff and move to Las Vegas like all the other girls.”

On arriving in Vegas for GLOW:
“Well, it was an intense training. It was a weeding out process. A couple of hundred girls showed up and in the end, there were a couple of dozen still standing. It was the survival of the fittest!”

On the experience of living near set:
“They put us up at this flea-bag apartment complex near the old warehouse where we filmed GLOW and trained. I know the first two seasons, they worked out of the Riviera Hotel. But, they wore out their welcome there I guess and the GLOW girls weren’t allowed back in the Riviera Hotel after season 2 (laughs). The venue was sort of like an old, not-in-use Costco warehouse. I know Costco didn’t exist at the time but that is what it looked like. The building was filthy & disgusting! There was pee and poo all over the bathroom floor. The pipes were leaking. There was no heat or air conditioning!” On the training process: “We were trained by Mondo Guerrero and Ninotchka. We had very long days. We would start at about 8 in the morning, go until noon, break for lunch, and then come back from 1 to 5 and then after, we would go downtown to the GLOW House which was, I think was on Tropicana Avenue. We would rehearse our sketches and raps and all of those types of things. They were very long days. During training, this went on 5 or 6 days a week. They always gave us Sundays off.”

On if the training was enough:
“Well, a lot of it was learning on the job. There were so many girls and there was only Mondo Guerrero and Ninotchka as trainers. So, a lot of it we picked up from the trainers and then practiced with each other. But, we had to go from knowing nothing about wrestling, training for 3 months, and then on to television as wrestlers… That is not a lot of time!”

On injuries:
“A lot of girls got hurt even during the taping. A lot of the girls that got hurt had injuries that were severe enough that they could not come back. Jail Bait, Queenie, Evangelina… A lot of these girls would film just one show and then get hurt and get sent home.”

On her Tiffany’s GLOW Gossip segments:
“I was always the first person you’d see on every episode of GLOW seasons 3 and 4, with that silly Tiffany’s GLOW Gossip segment and the bad jokes. “Hi everybody! Tiffany Mellon here with the latest GLOW Gossip!” (laughs) “I kid, but I am so glad I got that because those segments made me probably one of the most recognized girls on the show, aside from Hollywood!”

On her famous Butler match with Hollywood:
“(laughs) Having a butler was my idea. I just felt that if my character was rich, she should have a butler! So, it told Matt Cimber I wanted a butler and he said, “Who would you get to play the part?” I said “How about him!” and pointed at our props guy. The props guy was like, “Huh?” (laughs) But, he ended up doing a great job. And, the match with Hollywood ended up possibly being my favorite of my time in GLOW.”

On writing a book:
“I’m actually going to do 3 books. The first one will be about my early life and into GLOW, my second book will be about my adult film career, and my third book will be about life after that which goes into my bail bonds and bounty hunting experience and Reality TV show.”

On wrestling her trainer Ninotchka:
“That was possibly my favorite match too. I remember we were rehearsing the match and Matt Cimber was against us doing the superplex. He said to do a suplex or maybe do it off the bottom turnbuckle but he didn’t want us doing the superplex. Well, when we were taping and the cameras were live, she had me on the bottom turnbuckle for the suplex and she whispered in my ear, “Do you want to go for it?” i said, “lets do it!” And, she gave me the full suplerplex from the second turnbuckle. And, it went off great! It was the first time, and only time, anyone ever did that move in GLOW. Oh, we caught all kinds of hell for it afterwards from Matt! But, what was done was done and it was filmed live. I think he was secretly tickled pink that we pulled it off!”

On the legacy of GLOW and how the girls should be remembered:
“I do believe we were groundbreakers. I don’t consider myself a real wrestler. I don’t think anyone that was even on GLOW believed that GLOW was about real wrestling because it wasn’t. We pulled a lot of moves that the highly trained real wrestlers did. But, wrestling was more of a backdrop. It was a character driven, campy variety show that used wrestling as the common denominator.”
On going to AJW for a tour after GLOW:
“That was the most respect I ever got as a wrestler. It was me, Beastie, Tulsa, and Matilda the Hun from GLOW. And, Madusa and Leilani Kai were also there. It was the opening night of the Tokyo Arena and there was 25,000 fans there. We wrestled the Japanese girls and they were hardcore! They had razor blades hidden under the ring mat and they’d get tossed in the corner and cut their own foreheads so when you’d hit them, they would bleed all over the place. It made for great theatrics!”
On reports that she left GLOW because of harassment over being thought to be lesbian:
“I was in a relationship with Dementia, Nancy Daly. It was very well known in GLOW. We didn’t hide it! We shared a bed, we lived and traveled together. But, Matt Cimber wasn’t a fan. Maybe he was jealous? He would even try to not let us sit together on the tour bus. It was ridiculous. But, we were in Atlantic City staying at Trump Castle (Plaza) in Atlantic City and we were coming back in through the revolving doors from doing some talk shows and press, and we were stopped by security. The security pointed to our luggage on the floor. They said, “You’ve been fired. You’re not allowed back in the building.” Johnny C came up to us, I guess he was assigned to do Matt Cimber’s dirty work. He came up and told us that we were fired. They gave us our last checks. But, they didn’t give us our flight back home. They left us out in the snow and ice of Atlantic City to figure things out for ourselves. They did us really dirty. What else can I say? It was inhuman.”
On Jackie Stallone doing Knockouts, a home video release shortly after GLOW:
“I think Jackie wanted to get Knockouts picked up as a series. We did one pilot that they released as a video. I played Bambi against Valerie (who was MTV in GLOW) in a strap match. It was a good match. I actually have it up on my social media. But, I do think they had hoped to turn Knockouts into a series and maybe try to build off of GLOW.”
On finding her way into adult films:
“I was watching adult movies with the father of my oldest daughter and I was like, “I could do so much better!” So, I started expressing interest in getting into that industry and he was like, “Oh no you’re not! Not while we’re together!” Well, we split up and I was like, “Cool! Now I can go do it!” (laughs) On how she became a Hall of Famer: “Well, I was stripping at a club called Extacy in Northridge, California. I would also go back to where I had danced for years. But, while in Northridge, I started asking around if anybody knew anyone in the industry. Well, one guy did and introduced me to one of the two agents in the industry at that time. I signed with him. Because I was known as one of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, everybody wanted to book me, and I shot straight to the top. That’s what got me there. What kept me there were raging hot sex scenes, great dialogue, a good attitude, and that I would always show up on time and I wasn’t on any drugs or drunk. As a matter of fact, I was robo-buff and worked out like a fiend. You can clearly see that in my early movies! Well, after doing that for a while, I started my own production company and produced 7 of my own movies!”
On getting out of porn:
“Well, I’m actually getting back in now! I’m 59. My boyfriend is 24! I’ve got my OnlyFans. But, not just that, I fully intend on returning to the adult film industry after the AVN awards in early 2026. There, I will either sign with one of the major companies or produce my return myself.”
All of this plus a detailed rundown of how she ended up a bail bondsman, bounty hunter, and had her own reality TV series in 2007 on the subject. Plus, how her Tyffany Million porn career cost her the TV deal for her reality series and a whole lot more.
