The only purpose of this movie is to extend WWE's marketing arm into the Netflix realm. The only purpose! I cannot think of any other reason why The Main Event exists.

Fitfully amusing and doggedly heartwarming, albeit in ways you can see coming a mile off.

It's not about the hard work that's intrinsic with all of wrestling, so much as the WWE's open willingness to sacrifice its core values for lazy family-friendly amusement.

It is no Fighting With My Family but for hardcore wrestling fans, it makes for mildly entertaining viewing with your family.
