10 Binge-Watch Worthy Wrestling Stories

10. The Hart Family

In the wake of Smith Hart’s recent passing, wrestlers and fans alike have been reminiscing about Canada’s royal family. A television series could focus on the family during the heyday of Stampede Wrestling, a Calgary-based promotion owned and operated by patriarch Stu Hart. Bret Hart’s autobiography Hitman would be the best source for covering the time period, as the eighth child of the dozen Harts recounts growing up in the circus-like environment, befriending monsters, midgets and wrestling bears along the way.

Although the later years may be more compelling for television, with the tragic passing of Owen and the family splintering as a result, the series could be more PG-friendly by taking The Wonder Years’ coming-of-age approach. Any scenes in the infamous Dungeon would probably require parental supervision, though.

Perhaps the finale could show Bret, Jim Neidhart, Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid boarding the plane for New York, embarking on a whirlwind journey with WWE?
