Wrestlers | Official Trailer | Netflix

Ohio Valley Wrestling in Louisville, Kentucky was once a proud finishing school for young wrestlers who hoped for a chance at a career in big time Pro Wrestling but times have changed. With new owners in the picture, once-famous pro wrestler Al Snow has been given the summer to turn OVW's dire financial situation around. Wrestlers tells the story of a handful of eccentric misfits who attempt to come together to help Al save this historic gym while achieving their own wild dreams of wrestling professionally.

I really hope this shows people the new way of looking at pro wrestling, everyone knows the winner is predetermined but it’s the performance the in ring story telling the promo battles it’s an art form it’s entertainment. It allows people to be above and beyond who they once where. I love wrestling so much

I've known since I was little it was fake and realized early that people stopped watching because they were afraid of what people thought more than anything....cuz once I graduated high school it's like all of a sudden everyone was a wrestling fan again lol

Its a TRUE docu series. No fluff just raw emotion no matter what. Nothing was manufactured in this series. Highly recommend.

[@ericjames8816]

This is an absolute groundbreaking documentary about wrestling. It gives the fans a perfect opportunity to go behind the scenes and see the world of professional wrestling. The real world of professional wrestling. From the mother daughter drama all the way to the co-owner who is beyond eccentric. Words don't describe the ride, but it's a fantastic peek into a world that remained mostly unseen by most.

Al Snow seems like one of the most consistently sincere people to ever train wrestlers. I've read books and articles and everything. Different schools and trainers and all that. I think he's very much a fatherly guy, he's not going haze or abuse anyone. He's a fair kind fella. It just enhances my respect and love for his career and making my youth enjoyable. I still think about Al Snow & Mankind going to the amusement park. Their WWE magazine cover. Al's hardcore match with Bob Holly at Valentine's Day Massacre. The Chihuahua storyline.😂 It's just good to know there's an elder wrestler out there that's very honorable guy. Just who he is as a person.

For those unfamiliar OVW was WWE's farming system. Talent was trained then they would be scouted by people like Jim Ross then given a shot at WWE Tv.
