Documentary series Wrestlers followed the Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) company.
In particular, its promoter Al Snow – an accomplished wrestler with a decades-long career – as he worked to maintain OVW’s future.
But despite the series achieving a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, Al has confirmed it will not be returning to Netflix.
He told Metro.co.uk: “There were certainly talks.
“They had an option for a second season up until last September, and they just never took the option.
“[It] just ticked past. There was no fanfare or anything of that nature. It just quietly moved on.”
Al wrestled for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) on and off from 1995 to 1998.
He also had a long stint working for WWE, spanning 1998 until his departure in 2008.
The legend continued by saying Wrestlers could possibly be brought back in a different form.
Al said: “From what I understand, we have the option to do a second season, if we wish.
“We would just do it with a different streaming service than Netflix.”
Filmmaker Greg Whiteley both directed and executive produced Wrestlers.
Writing online, one viewer said: “Greg Whiteley makes amazingly intimate portrayals that you can tell are authentic and not over-produced.”
Another penned: “This wrestling documentary is amazing!
“It made me cry because I felt the hard work of all the wrestlers and everyone at OVW.”
While a third added: “There are heavy emotional moments in here as well as heavy bumps and hats off to [them], there are some real cinematic moments here too.
“Greg Whiteley has created an absolute gem of a series that wrestling and non-wrestling fans alike will love.”
Wrestlers is streaming on Netflix.
