I wander about a phrase from Harlan Coben's Promise Me:
"... they held the intercontinental tag-tem championship belt for FLOW, the Fabulous Ladies Of Wrestling. The wrestling organization had originally wanted to call itself the Beautiful Ladies of Wrestling, but the network had trouble with the ensuing acronym."
I have some considerations about what is meant by troubles about such acronym as BLOW, but i would be really happy if native speakers share their ideas with me. Thank you.

Blow has other connotations
Blow can mean a few different things. The meanings the network had problems with would presumably be those associated with hot air or fellatio.

FLOW: Fabulous Ladies Of Wrestling!
I think the acronym is not "Blow"; it is "Flow" -- and what the acronym stands for is right there in the source text that you provide: FLOW, the Fabulous Ladies Of Wrestling!
