For those who follow the sport:
It's called You Cannot Kill David Arquette and describes the wrestling career of the actor, best known for his appearance in the Scream series and for marrying Courteney Cox. In 2000, Arquette made a wrestling movie called Ready to Rumble sponsored by WCW, which was then on its last legs as a wrestling association. As part of the promotion for the film, Arquette wound up winning the WCW championship, thanks to the usual behind-the-scenes dirty tricks involved. Although he lost the title back two weeks later, most real wrestling fans hated him for what they considered making a joke about the sport (I'm not sure how they reacted to Donald Trump's stint in the WWE a few years later).
In 2018, Arquette decided to get back into wrestling for real (or as real as it gets) and embarked on a training regimen that ended with him participating in a number of lower level fights. The movie covers his comeback and it's surprisingly effective, although as with anything associated with wrestling, it's hard to tell how serious this is. But there are scenes of Arquette training in Mexico and taking part in some street matches (where they literally fight on the city streets for tips from passersby).
The film is available on Hulu and Kanopy.

Re: Interesting Wrestling Documentary
When the film makers played clips of fans reacting badly to Arquette's appearance, they noted that other celebrities would get involved in wrestling later and showed a clip of Donald Trump slamming some other manager to the floor outside the ring.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
