Cash Flo: Inside Netflix's Wrestlers, Life in Independent Wrestling & Training with Legends

Professional wrestler Cash Flo joins Neil Haley and Greg Hanna to discuss his breakout role in Netflix's hit documentary series "Wrestlers," which follows Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). Cash opens up about his initial hesitation to participate in the documentary, revealing that he and his family were "apprehensive" about exposing their lives on camera. He credits the BBC Studios crew and Emmy award-winning director Greg Whiteley (Last Chance U) for making the process comfortable and telling the story with positivity rather than focusing on wrestling's negative stereotypes. Since the show's release, Cash's life has transformed completely - he can't walk his dog or go grocery shopping without being recognized and asked for selfies and autographs.Cash shares his 20-plus year journey in professional wrestling, starting at IWA Mid-South under Ian Rotten's training alongside legends like Bull Pain, Tracy Smothers, and Doug Gilbert. He discusses the evolution from hardcore wrestling to storytelling, explaining why OVW's focus on old-school narratives has led to eight consecutive sold-out shows. Cash reveals memorable matches against Al Snow, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Bill Dundee, and Jeff Jarrett, and shares the emotional significance of working with Tracy Smothers shortly before his passing. He emphasizes the importance of having a strong support system, discusses the mental aspects that separate college and professional wrestling, and expresses hope that Netflix will continue the Wrestlers story rather than moving to a different organization like they did with Last Chance U.
