Netflix Cancels 'Wrestlers': The Binge-Worthy Gem with a Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score

SHOCKING AXING OF NETFLIX DOCU-SERIES "WRESTLERS" LEAVES FANS REELING

In a move that has left wrestling fans and critics alike stunned, Netflix has pulled the plug on its critically-acclaimed docu-series "Wrestlers", despite its perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. The series, which premiered on September 13, 2023, was touted as a "gem of a series" and a "fantastically binge-worthy" watch.

The show, directed by Greg Whitley, follows the lives of wrestlers at the Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) school, including wrestling legend Al Snow. The documentary-style series explores the world of professional wrestling, delving into the personal struggles and triumphs of its stars.

Despite its impressive ratings and glowing reviews from critics and audiences alike, Netflix has decided not to renew "Wrestlers" for a second season. The news was confirmed by Al Snow himself in an interview with Metro, who revealed that the streaming service had passed on an option to continue production.

"It just ticked past," Snow explained. "There was no fanfare or anything of that nature. It just quietly moved on." When asked if there were plans for a second season, Snow hinted that it was still possible, but would likely be picked up by another streaming service. "From what I understand, we have the option to have a second season, if we wish," he said. "We just would do it with a different streaming service than Netflix."

The news has left fans reeling, as many had been eagerly awaiting more episodes of the show. The series had received widespread critical acclaim, with many praising its unique storytelling and authentic portrayal of the wrestling world.

On review site Rotten Tomatoes, the show boasts an impressive 100% rating on the Tomatometer, with critics calling it "a great series" and "fantastically binge-worthy". On IMDB, fans have been raving about the show, with many praising its unique blend of drama and sports action.

"This is a fantastic show," one reviewer wrote. "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."

"I'm not even a huge wrestling fan, but this show was awesome," another reviewer raved. "I consumed the whole thing in one sitting and now I'm sad that it's over."

The show stars a talented ensemble cast, including Al Snow, Mike Walden, Jessie Godderz, Maria James, Matt Jones, Justin Coburn, Leila Grey, Haley Evans, Sarah States, Eric Darkstorm, and Luke Scoular. The series was praised for its authentic portrayal of the wrestling world, with many calling it "a real gem" and "a must-watch" for both wrestling fans and newcomers alike.

So what led to Netflix's decision to axe "Wrestlers"? According to sources close to the production, the streaming service had planned to renew the show, but ultimately decided against it due to internal creative disagreements. The decision has left many in the wrestling community feeling shocked and disappointed, with some speculating that the show was too niche or expensive to produce.

Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: "Wrestlers" is a show that won't be easily forgotten. Its perfect Rotten Tomatoes score and glowing reviews make it a must-watch for anyone interested in the world of professional wrestling. And with Al Snow hinting at the possibility of a second season on another streaming service, fans can only hope that this talented cast will continue to entertain us all.
