It’s finally here. We’ve heard about it in all of its various forms, from “secret project” to “a show on a streaming service,” and now Wrestlers is finally on Netflix. The seven-part documentary about Ohio Valley Wrestling, and its very crucial summer, dropped today.
Before getting into the details of the episode, let me say: this show is BEAUTIFULLY shot. The crew at BBC production made all of these athletes, and The Davis Arena (OVW’s home), look amazing. When it’s not just documentary content, the show has a very GLOW/80s wrestling aesthetic and really pulls you into the world of professional wrestling.
