Dark Side of the Ring - Viceland show

[CDJ]

Felt bad for Dino Bravo’s daughter. Poor girl

Tonight is Dr D David Schultz and the slap heard throughout the world

 

[JackSlater]

Noboday makes Mean Gene crack up like the Doctah Babay.

Biggest info I found out after the David Schultz episode was child services called the WWF after this vignette. lol

Only real thing they missed was His appearance on Morton Downy Jr show I believe in 88 defending the business(which was hilarious)

 

[CDJ]

Talk shit get hit John Stossel!

 

[Sheppy]

These shows have been fantastic.

Is there any episode on the Vince steroid trials?

Not so far and it won't happen this season. Good idea if they do a Season 3(which is very likely)

The last 3 episodes of Season 2 will focus on Herb Abrams ( UWF Owner and lover of cocaine ), The Road Warriors and Owen Hart.

The one I personally am waiting for is Who was the real Double J.

I'd like to see one on Flair bringing the NWA belt with him when he came to the WWF.

 

[SladeWilson23]

There's still a ton of different topics they could do episodes on.

Brian Pillman (especially the gun segment)
Stone Cold domestic abuse on Debra
Plane ride from hell
Pat Patterson sexual abuse accusation
JBL bullying

Wrestlers dying who are like 45 or younger(although the problem with this is do you really want to lump all of these together when you might get like 2-3 interesting stories)
WWF contracts

I enjoyed the Schultz episode. Not really any new stuff but Schultz is still a great talker, Mansfield is sleazy, and Stossel is a worker up there with most wrestlers.

 

[sabremike]

Schultz claimed that he was blackballed from the industry by a promoter who every other promoter in America hated more than anyone in the entire industry. Sure...

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

I remember watching Schultz in person during his time in Stampede Wrestling. He was awesome to watch, entirely intimidating, and his use of profanity when dealing with heckling fans was hall of fame worthy.

@ColePens might be the only one who gets this comparison.

Mansfield looks like one of the guys on the Steidl and Steinberg billboards

I wasn't by any means looking forward to the last few episodes, but as I watched them I really got interested. The Herb Abrams episode was totally bonkers

Ya, dr. d was awesome at stampede. the second time I ever went live he fought nick bockwinkel for the world title during stampede week. I also remember being really pissed because they didn't show the tag team cage match on t.v. he had one time with leo burke against kerry brown and duke myers. Also remember the violent feud he had with honky tonk.

Just getting around to watching the Dino Bravo episode. I wonder which Nordique he got in a bar fight with.

Also, Rangers prospect Julien Gauthier is Jacques Rougeau's nephew.

 

[CDJ]

Herb Abrams friend wanted to bone herb abrams a lot

that’s my two cents from the most recent one. That and the UWF was wildin

I never heard that before. Looking it up, Denis Gauthier is a first cousin of the Rougeaus through his mother and his father was a wrestler.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Like the shows a lot.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

I've really enjoyed the series.

On the Herb Abrams UWF one it really helps to read Mick's first book as he dedicates some time to it, and it was zanier then this documentary was

The Doctor D David Schultz one was excellent, I'm surprised that Schultz agreed to be in it as he spent years not wanting to talk about it.

I loved the Brawl for It all one because of the conflict between Cornette and Skidmark. I felt kind of sorry for Bart Gunn and when I saw the Butterbean part, it was pretty clear that he didn't feel great about having to go out and punish Bart. Also the JBL knockout is still uncomfortable to watch.

The best one for me is still the New Jack one. I'm amazed that anyone would willingly work with him. The liberties that he took with other wrestlers bodies combined with his I don't give a crap factor was stunning. On top of hit, he fricken stabbed a guy in the ring. The sad thing is he comes across as a pretty smart individual who had a extreme understanding of the business.
