Dark Side of the Ring - Viceland show

[sabremike]

Son of a... I thought he served. He has mentioned it in quite a few interviews. Damn it, he actually got me.

Turns out he's also caught quite a bit of criticism for stretching not telling the truth about his service.
The man behind pro wrestling legend Sgt. Slaughter tells stories of combat tours in Vietnam. But he never served

But to be fair he played a pivotal role in the defeat of COBRA.

The Jake Roberts one could be very dark if they bring up the abuse by his Dad ( Grizzly Smith ) to his half-sister ( Rockin' Robin ).

Very nice, it says that (according to Bischoff anyway) there will be an episode on Collision in Korea too. Looking forward to it all.

Grizzly Smith seemingly being a known pedophile seems a bit under-discussed when old time wrestling comes up.

Pretty sure one of the creators from the show was on local radio and discussed this too

Very nice, loads of material with Dynamite Kid.

It should be 14 episodes. That is a lot material to investigate.

Here is Brody's/ That's all I see at the moment but I'd suspect the others will eventually be up or available on their website.

I didn't know the Berzerker died? I loved how he would throw people out of the ring for a count out win, "Husk Husk Husk"!!!

Throwing guys out to win is a baller move. Championships? We don't need no championships

Not to nitpick ( well maybe just a bit ) but he was actually saying " Huss...huss....huss ". Why - I have no freaking idea.

It was something Brody did as well and they were a team at one point, he did it in WWF as Berserker after Brody was murdered, whether it was in honor of Brody or just swiping the gimmick could be debated.

And John Nord is still alive, he just did an interview a few days ago....

The Berzerker talks wrestling Goldberg, missing Curt Hennig and Road Warrior Hawk

A few guys did it during the old territory days. I've got a USWA show where The Master of Pain ( The Undertaker ) yells it out a few times during his match. I used to think that some guys were doing it to mask whatever their opponent or ref was relaying to them at the same time but now I don't think that's why they were doing it.

Was think about this yesterday and did a little digging. Sounds like March 9th there will be an episode. More of an overview of past and future shows though. Can't find a release date, but below is a list of what is apparently known to be episodes. Think I read elsewhere there will be 14 total episodes.

Real interested to see the Pillman and Dynamite Kid one.

* Brian Pillman (season premiere, WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin interviewed)
* FMW (Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling)

* Chris Kanyon
* “The Dynamite Kid” Tom Billington

Going to be an incredible season

A few items I've never heard of, and a couple I'm really excited for. I was always a big Kanyon fan going back to the Mortis gimmick. Odd how Glacier was so lame, yet Mortis was so cool.

 

[CDJ]

I’m really stoked to learn more about FMW. All the individual-centered ones should be wild

I find the ones I don't really care about end up being quite interesting. Was it UWF or something that I never even heard of ended up being quite interesting.

Sounds like the Plane Ride from Hell will be covered. I was listening to Richard Deitsch's media pod this week where he had JR and Conrad Thompson on. JR mentioned how their podcast on the topic got the attention of the Dark Side of the Ring guys, and JR had just recently done a long sit down with them on it.

This is awesome.

The new season is kicking off with extra-feature versions of some prior episodes. I believe Montreal Screwjob @ Gino Hernandez are on my DVR right now.
