About the panelists:
Jeanie Buss (Co-founder and co-owner of WOW – Women Of Wrestling) – Controlling owner and president of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jeanie Buss has been named by ESPN as “quite possibly the most powerful women in all of sports.” As a child, comic book characters such as Wonder Woman and Supergirl captivated Jeanie. Today, she is intent on empowering women and engaging fans by introducing them to the World of WOW, a place where women are the stars and fight their own battles. For Jeanie, WOW represents a whole new universe of modern day, real- life superheroes.
David McLane (Co-founder and co-owner of WOW – Women Of Wrestling) – David McLane is no stranger to the wrestling world, having grown up in it since he was 13. While most thought that wrestling should and would remain a boys’ club, David had a vision that women could be the stars of the ring. David’s passion led him to create the very first all-women’s wrestling TV program, GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling). Today, with his partners Jeanie Buss, Paramount Global Content Distribution and the amazing WOW Superheroes, David continues to build a new future for women’s wrestling.
Coach Campanelli (WOW Superhero) – Hailing from San Francisco, Coach Campanelli excelled at every sport she attempted. Softball, soccer, tennis, golf, pickleball, bocce ball, cheese rolling, underwater hockey—you name it, Coach Campanelli played it, and was probably captain of the team! After mastering every sport, she decided to bring her coaching abilities to the WOW Superheroes to teach them how to become true champions. Since arriving at WOW, Coach Campanelli has inserted her wisdom and coaching acumen, whether it was requested or not. With her red, white and green tracksuit freshly pressed, laces tied snuggly, and whistle properly polished, Coach Campanelli brings her unsolicited coaching tips to WOW, with a purpose to win…because that’s what Coach Campanelli does.
Genesis (WOW Superhero) – Hailing from a remote outback town in Australia, Genesis learned how to cut an enemy before she knew how to make a friend. She was often alone, left to fend for herself, with nothing but the dusty red dirt and lonely wind for company. Just as she started to make friends with other children, she was shipped off to boarding school, further isolating her from any love or friendship. To pass the time, Genesis found joy in playing with dangerous toys: mastering the sword and nunchaku. Genesis also turned her body into a weapon: teaching herself karate and kung fu.
Though she was lonesome and forgotten, Genesis never gave up on herself. Eventually, her journey led her to wrestling, where her fighting skills quickly made her a fierce competitor within the squared circle. After finding success as part of the brutal faction of Exile, Genesis fought her way to the top of the group’s pecking order. But like the mother who eats her young, she caused a rift in her group by putting herself first, leading to Exile disbanding forever. Now a feared singles competitor, Genesis no longer seeks family or belonging. Instead, she seeks vengeance for her suffering and a prize that can never betray her – to prove that her years of isolation and training had meaning, by putting her body to the test and winning the WOW World Championship.
