Vince McMahon Is a piece of shit cracker. But I guess it’s just business.
Damn, Vince McMahon is a piece of shit. This show has validated that too many times in one season. Smh
They should be producing at least 10 of these per season.
Agreed. The viewers and fans have been digging the content thus far.
Have you had a chance to see the other Vice docuseries The Wrestlers also? Pretty solid. Only caught 2 or 3 eps last year.
No not yet, this is my first hearing of it.
I'll check it out and let you know.
If I remember correctly, 2 or 3 that I saw focused on an org’ similar to an indy ECW; hardcore wrestling over in Japan, and Canadian wrestling. Those are the 3 eps I seem to remember. May be available on the Vice site. Caught them on Much and Crave on Demand in Canada.
I love the show but felt like this season peaked with the Benoit two parter, then again with the Snuka episode. Not every episode was of similar quality.
The Owen episode should have opened the season, Benoit two parter should have closed it.
It's a great show however for season three, they may be scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to make meaningful episodes that grab the viewer.
They covered a lot so far, what other scandals are left?
I think they can dig something up industry has many secrets we know nothing about
I still ain’t finish that new jack episode.
I can’t watch it
And rip Owen, I was watching the ppv live and couldn’t understood what happened

I've never watched wrestling that much but I watch a lot of YouTube "shoot" videos and there is a lot of material for them to cover in this show.
I watch them too. Agree, there are a ton, just not sure if there are enough stories that are as deep and engaging to do a full season of shows. A lot of the shoot interviews cover territory shown already in some of these Dark Side of the Ring episodes.
Dark Side of the Ring is a great concept but I'm not sure there is enough for a few more seasons, unless they start focusing on more obscure stories.
Honestly, the UWF one was pretty damned obscure.
It's crazy cuz I remember watching the UWF. Its came on the UHF channels in New York. I remember enjoying it. One Man Gang, Dr Death, The Bladerunners(Sting and The Ultimate Warrior) hell Jim Duggan before he became a comedy act was a bad cat. Dr Death and OMG had some brawls, maybe cuz I was younger I ain't realize it was crap, but I remember it being entertaining
Yeah, the Dino Bravo and Brawl for All episodes were kind of lame. The rest have been good.
Hopefully, they come back for a third season.
The producers of the show have had to fight with the network just to get what's aired already.
I hear you but if you think about how many individual stories there are you could tell.
For example although they've been told before I could see an episode for Scott Hall, Ultimate Warrior, Jake the Snake Roberts.
And they haven't done the death of Rick Rude, Brian Pillman, Mr. Perfect, etc.
The shit I've heard about Dynamite Kid would also make a good episode.
Based off what I've seen you could do an episode on Sid Vicious (getting stabbed by Arn, gruesome leg injury.)
Lex Luger could make for a good episode.
They fucked Dino Bravo's up by spending too much time interviewing his wife and his daughter (who wasn't old enough to know shit when he was killed.)
Them speaking French the whole episode threw me off, plus I never really cared too much for Dino Bravo anyway.
Wrestlers probably have more chaotic stories on average than any other athlete.. They could have seasons for yrs.. Remember there was wcw and ecw to.. No way them ecw nigs didn't have crazy ass stories.. New jack is just the tip of the iceberg
I thought the Bravo one could have been the most intriguing, if only they had more people come forward to talk about him.
Lolz Rick Martel refused to be interviewed. He still lives in Montreal, he ain't stupid.
No doubt.
The funny thing is most stories would be better than New Jack's IMO.
He just comes across as an asshole with no real redeeming qualities or substance.
He's not even good as a villian.
I enjoyed the episode but felt he isn't a good subject.
I feel you.
Some of the deaths though sad, weren't tragic enough for me to really need to know more to the story, but the story behind Sid Viscous and Arn Anderson, man....that would be ILL.
Jake would have been a cool episode but he's already been covered in Beyond the Mat AND in his own DDP Produced documentary, which also had Scott Hall.
Dynamite Kid would be great though, especially tying it to Benoit.
No doubt.
I suspect they got deep in production on that episode and people started getting cold feet and pulling out.
They probably had too much invested at that point so went with whoever they could get.
That's the only explanation I can think of for having his wife and daughter in the episode so much and being interviewed in French.
