10 Binge-Watch Worthy Wrestling Stories

It’s astonishing that no one in Hollywood has produced a series about WWE’s national expansion. McMahon changed pro wrestling forever, destroying the Mafia-style business by raiding talent and timeslots from territories and branding his product as something entirely different than wrasslin’. The marriage between MTV and WWE spawned WrestleMania, a pop culture phenomenon combining athleticism, music, comedy, soap opera, and pageantry.

As evidenced by GLOW, the eighties are extremely popular right now, as the retro market thrives with Gen Xers and curious millennials. It would be fun to have celebrities like Cyndi Lauper and Mr. T, major players in the Rock N Wrestling connection, make cameos. Unfortunately, many of the wrestlers from that era are no longer alive, but the Hulkster could still come in and perhaps portray Dick Ebersol. Hopefully the rumored McMahon biopic will cover the era, and revisionist history won’t distort the truth to the point of inaccuracy.
