Aaaand that's the Magnum T.A. story done. All things considered, this was actually pretty uplifting and positive in contrast to most episodes and especially watching it directly after the Candido & Sunny one.

The Story of Magnum TA was last night people. One of the greatest What Ifs in Wrestling if Magnum wasn't in his Car Accident what would of happpened with his Career.
I'd even argue it's the biggest "What if" of them all, because all the other really big "What ifs", we would talk about nowadays, would've been effected a lot by how Magnum's run and the likely success JCP would've had from it, would've been.

I still think JCP would still have sold out to Ted Turner and we would have gotten WCW still. Maybe not as early, but still gotten WCW

Sure, very likely, but even the WCW landscape would've looked a lot different, probably.

Also, would say Magnum's story shows why you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, as they say, and except the best outcome and not have a plan b

Man has this Season of Dark Side has been a real tough challenge to get through for sure. Matt Borne's Episode yesterday was tough too because you see the talent he had whether as just plain old Matt Borne or Doink it really shined. I didn't know their was all this about his death and it saddens me to think one of his kids thinking his GF killed him. I would say to her you weren't with your Dad by that time so you don't know what he was taking that day or on the daily. Even they talk about how Connie was found innocent of any wrong doing they still hold onto the thought she had something to do with his Death. If Matt Borne's GF recongize a little bit sooner he was OD'ing he might of been here today but that is what happens when you abuse Drugs.

For the new season of Dark Side of the Ring, we know of these episodes: Brutus Beefcake, Harley Race, Buff Bagwell, Kurt Angle, Chris Adams, Sandman and Black Saturday (when Vince McMahon purchased Georgia Championship Wrestling to get access to the TBS time slot in 1984).
