Dark Side Of The Ring season 4

[Sheppy]

I don't know if it's really from the "dark side", but I'd love an hour long episode of guys re-telling the legendary tales of Haku's real life fights with the requisite re-enactments.

I'd be all for this.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Love this show. I would like to see an episode on Mike Awesome. He was an unbelievable worker for a big man. His matches with Tanaka in ECW were some of the best of all time. Some of those powerbombs were just sickening.

Mike Awesome is also one of the greatest wrestling video game characters in history.

One on the Iron Sheik would be neat.

Watched the Tales from the territories on Championship Wrestling from Florida.

Man that Eddie Graham was wild.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Anybody else disappointed with Tales from the Territories? I don’t care for the random panel type discussion. This show is nowhere near as good as the dark side of the ring.

 

[IceColdOx]

I really thought they'd touch on Buck Zumhoffe by now.

This show is pretty gross, it's a typical VICE product where they make character hit pieces under the guise of some faux moralization, sensationalize any personal failing of a wrestler, interviews with their ex wives, Eric Bischoff who can't exist unless he's spitting on someone else ect... then through in a mix of loser bloggers that just maladjusted fanboys with pretend their hate is 'journalism'.

I particularly loved the juxtaposition of A&E's biography of the Ultimate Warrior and Dark Side of the Rings coming out at the same time.

The show is watchable but exploitative. I don't really enjoy seeing who is going to be the target of a twitter mob during each season.

I agree with you about Bischoff but that's about it. I've only seen about half the episodes though. The Ultimate Warrior was a piece of trash imo so I have no problem with that episode.

Not sure how popular this one would be but maybe a look at the Edge/Lita/Matt Hardy love triangle mess? Just spitballing here.

I think that one is a bit hard to do unless all three are willing to do an episode.

Probably be pretty tough to get outsiders that are willing to talk about the situation as well, unless of course they were given the okay by those three.

And I can't imagine Lita wanting to dig it back up with all the slut shaming she dealt with and likely still gets crap about

Watched the Pacific Northwest tale of the territories.

Unreal the shit that use to happen back in the 70's and 80's when people thought everything was real. Like you have to have some balls to go to the ring and pull Stan Stasiak's leg from underneath him on the apron. The whole hiring cowboys for protection was pretty funny.

The Buddy Rose/Matt Osborne feud was something as well. No one other than the two of them actually knew what was real or what wasn't when it came to Buddy marrying Matt's sister.

I can't believe that anyone ever thought that wrestling was real.

 

[ManByng]

It was already done by others. See youtube.

Lex Luger.

Wasn't it ESPN that did a bio on Scott Hall?

Dont say it to David Schultz



There was a time without Internet. Yes, really.

Internet or not you had to be pretty stupid to think professional wrestling was real.

We have how many people who think the earth is flat? Never underestimate human stupidity

Very true lol.

I love the Playboy. Osborne has some interesting stuff in that territory from the parts that I've seen. He could be a contender for this series, along with Art Barr.

I can't believe that anyone ever thought that wrestling was real.

I've met people from places where wrestling hasn't been around for decades and plenty of them still buy most of it in the same sense that Joe Blow 1970s fan might have. I also met a German who humourously refused to believe that Vince McMahon, the guy on TV, did also legitimately own WWE.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

They have to do a an episode on the Punk presser and all the backstage shenanigans some day, right?

No besides they already covered backstage fights when they did the Montreal screw job.

 

[ManByng]

Or Ken Wayne....

[Reality Check]

Dark Side may have jumped the shark last season with some of those episodes. Haven't seen the Territories series yet and I'm not expecting it to be any better than the Legends of Wrestling from WWE.

However I did watch the Vince documentary on Vice. That was pure garbage.
