The WWE Universe knows full well what kind of emotional reactions wrestling can draw from us. There have been numerous instances where wrestling has caused fans to be overwhelmed by emotions. The show, Wrestlers on Netflix has told the wider world about the same.

The show is about Ohio Valley Wrestling, owned by former WWE Superstar Al Snow, and its colorful cast of wrestlers. The show has gotten rave reviews from both wrestling fans and casual audiences.

Another person who was moved by the show was former WWE head writer Vince Russo. Taking to Twitter, he was full of praise for Snow and his wrestling promotion and called the former WWE European Champion a master.

"My wife and I just finished watching the last two episodes of "Wrestlers" on @netflix. At the end of @TheRealAlSnow's match I was literally sitting on my couch in TEARS. THAT is EMOTION." said Russo

"That is what Professional Wrestling "Used" to be about. That's why people fell in love with it. That type of emotion has been traded in for meaningless spot after spot after spot and nobody GIVES A F. I watched a MASTER lay out a MASTERPIECE and yes, it made me CRY. THAT is what has been missing from Wrestling FOR DECADES." the tweet continued.
