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.

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.

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.

So surprised how good this was. Absolutely floored by how lucid and calculated al snow is along with caring and extremely genuine. I grew up as a kid in the 80s and 90s watching wrestling until in 96 they put this ppv on from Denver called UFC. And wrestling never did it for me after seeing real fighting... but this show brings back all the good, and reminds you how hard some of these people are trying to entertain you. A story about the struggle to achieve success and the american dream. Well developed and rich in character content (not just the schtick, but the real people you see) Fantastic! Hoping this has a season 2 in the works.
