Wrestlers: Lucha libre, pasión y sacrificio

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!!!!!

I went into this show with zero expectations. I am not a wrestling fan. I have seen season one of Heels and am waiting to watch season two on a free pass. This show blows that out of the water. They're both about struggling local wrestling foundations and the characters within them. The fact this all is (somewhat) real makes it that much better.

Every character in this show has a great storyline. From Al Snow, to the lowest wrestler on his roster, they're all relatable in someway. Even the people who end up investing show they're not just money, but real people as well. I never thought I could feel sympathy for people who are shown as "the money" but this does a great job giving them a story as well. Every episode of this show surprised me in a great way.

If you have any interest in wrestling you will love this show. I think most people could find something to like about this show. Even if it's scripted reality TV, it's so well scripted you will still enjoy it. There wasn't one bad episode. One of the biggest surprises I've had turning on a show, then I felt like I couldn't turn it off.

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.

I grew up with the WWF in the 80's....going to shows with my dad and my brother. Watching it on the weekends. Renting the VCR compilation tapes. If you were like me as a kid....you will love this.

If you don't like wrestling, but like stories about human beings just doing something they love and what they sacrifice in order to achieve their dreams....you will like it.

It's a story about wrestling, but it's also a story about people doing something they absolutly love - to their core - and trying to make it succeed no matter what. The directors did a great job not overly editing it to make you love or hate anyone....they show everyone, as they are, the good and bad, as their story unfolds.

You know the wrestling shows that pop up locally at the PAL, or schools, or fairs? You will never look at them the same way again...you will see those with a lot more respect that you did before watching this.

The last episode of this had me in tears. (Happy tears).

Just watch it.

I loved Last Chance U because it delved into the players' personal struggles and family stories, and it made me root so hard for them individually. I feel the same way about Wrestlers. You can't help but root for HollyHood Haley with her backstory and CashFlo's relentless pursuit of the grind is so inspiring, as are his family's sacrifices. Shera is a beautiful soul and seeing him take such pride in something that most of us take for granted (his pristine Nissan Maxima) was so lovely and humbling. Al Snow is a gruff and stern former wrestler but also seems to be a huge teddy bear and I loved watching him mentor these wrestling hopefuls and being tough but firm. Being from KY I'm heartened to see an honest and not at all demeaning portrayal of the state and its rural communities. The series gets better with each episode and I am honestly kind of sad I'm finished.
