Wrestlers

Truth be told...I don't like reality shows, so it was pitched to me as a reality show and I was not interested. Then I saw a trailer and I gave it a chance, and I was not disappointed.

It's not a reality show as much as it's a documentary series, and it is seriously a rollercoaster of emotions. The people they profiled, the stories in and out of the ring...just perfect casting. It's incredibly difficult to get a through story just right, and then on top of that, have it deliver. It's one of the those rare moments when the storyteller is the right person to tell the story that happens at the right time and they had the time and money to do it justice.

The art and music devices and SFX for the sound (which is always difficult in docs) was top notch. The camera work was great, they really did a great job creatively with the frames in the interviews but also being able to capture the chaos when they needed to.

I really don't want to give anything away as far as story but it tugs on your heart strings as much as "Anvil:The Story of Anvil" You hate some people, you resent them, you love some people and your heart breaks for them. Just great emotional storytelling about people who are passionate about what they do.

Always been a big wrestling fan since back in the mid 80s watching the then WWF so it wasn't a shock that I'd enjoy this series but didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

Never heard of OVW here in the UK but genuinely felt for the lives of the characters in this show, even started to understand Matt towards the end.

It's a brutal way to make a living but you can tell all the wrestlers love making the fans happy. They're not perfect, but who is!

Favourite characters were of course Hollywood Hally J, Cashflo and without doubt Al Snow.

So cmon Netflix do the right thing and give us a second series.

This show is truly a gift to the world. Netflix has done an amazing job bringing the story of Legend Al Snow, OVW, and so many amazing characters to the big little international screen. A true entertainment gem and power house!

The show follows the story of wrestling for the fans and introduces wrestling to those that have never known the beauty of sports entertainment in this form.

By focusing on former WWE superstar and wrestling legend Al Snow, this show has the heart, passion, and soul of a lion. Wow, Al is kind, compassionate, and soulfully focused on making this world a better place, while making the entire world a better place. This is what the world needs more of, he is what the world needs more of. Someone who truly cares about the lives of others, while living with such passion, that we can't help but be swept up in the dreams, goals, and smiles that are delivered by Al with a seemless beauty, and effortless empathy.

I love every moment of this show, every moment of the lives, every step of the journey, and every message that Al Snow delivers as the nucleus of a true masterpiece of art work.

Do not miss this incredible series!!!!!

Oh this is a great series. A struggling C class wrestling organization, a couple of investors shaking things up, unique stories of wrestlers lives, will they make it? Let's find out.

Pro wrestling is all about narrative and entertainment, which is exactly what this series is. You don't have to be a wrestling fan to see what makes these people tick. It makes sense, it's fun, it's theater. These people are thespians, but where they lack in acting skills they make up for in physical imagination.

The docu-series is 7 episodes that is a countdown to their version of "Wrestlemania" called "The Big One," and the point is to get the organization to be profitable or at least break even, if not the investors will pull out.

These people live in their own worlds and it's fun to visit for a little while. A series well worth watching.

This show was awesome. I consumed the whole thing in one sitting and now I'm sad that's it's over. Pro wrestling fans will really like this without a doubt. If you're not into pro wrestling it's hard to say. I'm not a huge wrestling fan as in I don't go to events, buy merch or anything but I do keep up with the results of the weekly shows even though a lot of the main companies are not putting out very good content right now.

It's a great show about people blindly following their passion, refusing to give up on their dreams and the struggles to juggle all of that with earning a living and providing for a family. Wrestling fan or not, just give one episode a go.
