Jim Ross: I’m Going To Watch Netflix’s ‘Wrestlers’ Soon, I’m Proud Of What Al Snow Has Done With OVW
Jim Ross comments on Netflix’s new Ohio Valley Wrestling docuseries, ‘Wrestlers’.
The show, which premiered on September 13, has been the talk of the wrestling world, both in a positive and a negative light. Some fans have praised the show’s honesty about the wrestling business, while others have criticized the promotion for their handling of certain situations.
On the latest episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross said that he’s heard really good things about the show and that he plans on watching it soon.
“I have not, but I’ve heard really good things about it. I plan on watching it. I’m not a huge Netflix guy, a lot of that is because of my technical deficiencies, but I have not seen it. I plan on watching it. People I have respect for in the wrestling business have watched it, watched every episode, and have been very complimentary and positive regarding the project. I’m happy for Al Snow and his team there in OVW, and it’s something I want to watch, it’s something I’m going to watch, I’m proud of what Al has done there, little to no budget. He’s funding it and I’m proud of him for that. Al’s a smart guy, he’s got a good head for business. He’s got all that experience over the years, created a hell of character and the head and all of that good stuff. I do plan on watching it because I’ve heard great things about it.”
It is currently unknown if ‘Wrestlers’ will get a second season on Netflix. Fightful will update fans when news emerges on the situation.
Elsewhere in the podcast, Jim Ross said that he isn’t interested in doing physical angles anymore. Fans can learn more here.
