Dark Side of the Ring

[Mitch Buchannon]

Black Saturday would be an excellent topic.

One on the "Wrestler's Court" would be a good one too. Surprised the Benoit one didn't bring it up since he was one of the reasons Palmer Cannon quit.

I'd also love to see one about the short-lived career of Nathan Jones and his abrupt decision to quit

Jake The Snake Roberts: This is pretty obvious why, drugs, murder, recovery, his story fits right in.
Steroid Scandal: I think this would be a good one to explore, would be cool to see footage of wrestlers testifying.
When fans take it too far: Just an episode to show the times when fans took wrestling too seriously, like when Sgt Slaughter turned heel and had to get protection for himself, and his family, because people wanted to kill them, Piper getting stabbed by a fan, etc.
Vince McMahon: They have more than enough material for him, from steroids, to cheating, lawsuits, payoffs, etc.

I made a thread at WF years ago cuz he is on my list of wrestlers I’m a fan of , and, it hardly got love, either. I had him as my avatar for a while, too. Fuck the haters, Dino was a boss.

Season 3 better have a Jake Roberts entry. The man’s life was fucked up enough for an episode by far.

Dino was a boss. It's wild to think of what a bad run at a big company will do for a wrestler's legacy.

Happy to see that I wasn't the only one watching Dark Side of the Ring this Season. The Owen one was truly tragic and frustrating as we got to see how dumb and stupid WWE was for having Owen come from the sky with that little clip that looked like it couldn't hold a little kid let alone Owen in 1998.

I just watched this episode and it was very emotional. Man, when Jim Cornette teared up and had to stop talking, it hit hard. Watching Jerry Lawler walk back to the announce table and say it doesn't look good, his and JR's facial expressions showed that they were trying hard to keep it together. Kevin Dunn is a piece of crap for the way he told JR that he was announced dead, and it amazes me that he has kept a job for so long.

I can not fault Martha for not wanting Owen's name involved with WWE. I understand a lot of the wrestlers and fans want him in the HOF, but she lost her husband and her children lost their father. Their children have grown into fine young people and are doing good things. Much respect to Martha for staying strong and raising those two into the adults they became.

Oh man, the Bruiser Bedlam episode is gonna be fucking amazing. His story of getting arrested for plotting to blow up a police station is hilarious.

 

[Swamps]

The Owen Hart one was (excuse the pun) heart-breaking.
Bruiser Brody as well.
But my favourite was probably New Jack.
Complete nutjob.

I've heard 2 Cold Scorpio talk about when WCW went to Korea and how he and Road Warrior Hawk got into multiple alterations.

 

[Necro]

So just read there will also be a Chris Kanyon episode.

 

[Deezy]

Just found out the guys who do this were the ones who directed Hobo With a Shotgun.

 

[Lady Redfield]

I’m so damn pumped for the Smith family episode.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Maybe we might get our first Trailer for the Season if not the first Episode in a few weeks!
