As AEW hits London trailer for Wrestlers drops…on mat

AEW is in London this weekend as Netflix Wrestlers documentary series have dropped a trailer. Good timing or what?

The Netflix blurb on the film reads: “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.”

Ryan O’Dowd executive producer via BBC Studios and Valerie Bruce, general manager of BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Netflix to premiere our second docuseries together from our Los Angeles production arm, following up on our true crime break-out hit ‘Murder Among the Mormons.

‘Wrestlers’ represents a bold, powerful and immersive new addition to our growing unscripted business.

“This series would not have been possible without the incredible support we received from the city of Louisville, where wrestling is a prized local tradition and the home of Ohio Valley Wrestling for the past three decades.”
