for someone who never really got into wrestling (aside from the occasional mexican wrestling), it is still a fascinating watch. very well done and i find myself hanging on to every word. it must be incredible for a diehard fan immersed in its history.
All these episodes are about High Profiled people at one time or another. How some of never heard of them baffles me. Unless you're limited to what is known today as the WWE. Maybe its just me, IDK. Anyway, Im only on series 2x5 but its a good watch so far.
If you’re a wrestling fan you should watch this. The Chris Benoit one was what made me curious to check out the show and it was so well done I’ve gone through the rest of the episodes. Many of the episodes are about people I never heard of so I wasn’t sure if I was going to watch them, but I’m glad I did because they were really well done and enjoyable to watch.
Season 1 focuses on wrestlers from the 1980s and early 1990s. That is probably before most people are aware off. But it was great for me - I'd vaguely heard of a lot of these people, and to see th stories behind them, the human touch, the sadness, the politics. It's was a great binge watch!
