Bright Side of the Ring

[alko]

Watching Dark Side of the Ring is only about sad moments. What about show: Bright Side of the Ring? Could it work?

What stories could be there?

Man, this is tough actually.

You could probably do a good one just based on practical jokes that the wrestlers played on each other. Owen Hart, Curt Hennig, and so on. You could try something around DDP's work with some seemingly broken wrestlers, though there's already a documentary about it.

Ray Bourque winning the cup with the Avalanche immediately comes to mind. The story would be great leading up to it as well.

Ok, my typo. I mean Ring, not Rink. But Good one.

Hahahaha, I was kind of wondering why this was posted in the Wrestling forum.

I think you could. Even on the Dark Side of the Ring there are some funny moments. Just not a lot of them.

Judging by the wrestling podcasts that are out there, you'd think they'd be able to put something together.

PCO becoming a world champ at 50 is a pretty good story.

that would be a really good one


Maybe Zack Gowen? I think Wade Barrett could be a fun one...his backstory is fascinating

Seems like there are a lot more negatives than there are positives lol

 

[Sheppy]

DDP would be great.

Maybe Flair? The life long stories and then feature his hospitalization and recovery? Man, I’d watch that episode

Maybe HBK being an asshole and then finding god and becoming not a shit head?

I really don’t know.

 

[Sheppy]

Unrelated, but I want to see something on Pillman. He was my favorite growing up.

Ron Simmons wins the world championship.

I think he talked about it in one of the WWE documentaries. Might have even been the one with him and Hart. His one book is all about finding god. Quite an interesting read. Actually talked to the minister to see if some of the angles would offend the church.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Ron Simmons wins the world championship.

The Soul Brothers win the world championship. Tony Atlas is the first wrestler to pin Hogan.

Miz career is a feel good story. From reality tv to wwe champion.

Kofi as well, even if i wasn't a fan of the reign.

DDP is honestly such a terrific guy to listen to. He’s basically his early 2000’s WWF gimmick (overwhelmingly positive life coach not wife stalker)

Hes got videos of the power of positivity on YouTube. That’s not a bad thing......it’s a good thing!

I'm still so pissed at the Stalker gimmick. In like 2 weeks he went from "I only did this so you can make me famous, I don't really care about Sarah", to being an actual creepy stalker of Sarah, to getting completely buried by Kane and Taker.

his success in WCW is what killed him in WWE. Really the only guys from rival promotions they did a lot with were RVD and Booker T, they just focused on completely burying everybody else. Hell they tried to bury Booker now that I think of it


I think they could have done a lot more with DDP. Guys huge, he’s a good promo, and has an incredibly over finisher. And unlike a lot of the roster at the time he was seemingly a really good guy

This is the true issue with the story (aside from the burials). WWE lost the plot. It's not a bad way for Page to come in, but it's a horrible way to book his character as actually being a stalker.

The old Muhammad Hassan twist.

You people unfairly malign me and assume that I am a terrorist because of my background!

*A few weeks later*

HAHAHAHAHA I AM A TERRORIST!

 

[swflyers93]

Jake the Snake. This guy was a good wrestler, great talker and he descends into darkness. DDP gets him into DDP Yoga and I think rehab. Now he is back in the wrestling industry on tv. Same with Scott Hall.

he had so much potential... then they had to bring out the terrorists and the piano wire

lordy if they tried that today. They could definitely do a dark side on him or if they need more to fill out the documentary race in the WWE. I mean shit Vince said the N word on TV.

The gimmick is interesting at least, had WWE been willing to maybe stick to it instead of going off the deep end. It was a strange pick for a wrestler to fill that gimmick though. Kind of typical for Cornette in the dark era of his career, OVW.
