"Ohhh Yeahhh: History of Hawaiian Wrestling" is a riveting journey through the untold history of wrestling, spanning eras from territorial tussles to global spectacles. Before the tides of war swept over Pearl Harbor, and before Hawaii's star adorned the American flag, the islands bore witness to a different kind of battle-a battle fought under the lights of makeshift rings.

Meet the visionaries who orchestrated the bouts that captivated generations.

But it's not just about the promoters; it's about the larger-than-life performers who graced the canvas with their charisma and athleticism.
