00:00 Wrestling is my escape.
00:02 I'm glad I get to hit people.
00:04 I don't want to do any bad things anymore.
00:06 OVW is the little engine that could.
00:13 You get outside of WWE and AEW,
00:15 the best wrestling in America is taking place right here.
00:19 You wanna go one on one with me?
00:21 Yeah, baby!
00:22 People watch OVW because you get the first glimpse
00:26 at potentially the next big thing in pro wrestling.
00:30 It all comes down to one thing.
00:32 One of the most legendary professional wrestlers ever,
00:35 Al Snow.
00:36 Professional wrestling is an art form.
00:38 It's the art of physical storytelling.
00:41 I am gonna rip your freaking head off!
00:45 It's a morality play.
00:47 It's good versus evil.
00:48 The art and the creativity of this industry,
00:51 there's nothing like it.
00:53 You don't feel like a nobody anymore.
00:55 I'm Hollywood Haley J.
00:56 Wrestling is a very aesthetic business
01:00 and you have to look your best.
01:02 This is the Muppets.
01:04 I'm Kermit the Frog and I literally run the Muppet Show.
01:07 Al is one of the best wrestling minds,
01:11 but you know what?
01:12 Al's not the best with money.
01:14 This is the summer to take it to the next level.
01:17 We need to create a summer tour.
01:19 A lot of times I get told something to do
01:21 from people that have no clue how it works.
01:24 If we don't start doing better,
01:25 there won't be an OVW.
01:27 I've spent 40 years making a name for myself in this business.
01:32 I'll be damned if I'm gonna let anybody ruin it.
01:35 We do see when you guys aren't doing what you're supposed to be doing.
01:40 We're all supposed to be in this together.
01:42 I want to go to WWE and be top dog there.
01:45 Wrestling's new to her.
01:46 It's real exciting to her, all the positives,
01:48 and I feel like she hasn't seen how this ruins people's lives.
01:51 Can you please not be your character for one hour?
01:53 How about you try to be yourself?
01:54 I'ma always be Hailey J.
01:56 Wrestling, for a lot of these people,
02:01 gives them a purpose in life, a reason to live.
02:04 We chose to do what we had to do creatively
02:06 to make our family survive
02:08 and to let him work on his dream.
02:10 My name, my reputation,
02:13 is all wrapped up into this.
02:15 I'm doing it because I desperately want
02:19 this and everyone involved in it to succeed.
02:22 Four, three, two, one.
02:26 I hope all this works.
