Official "Dark Side Of The Ring" Discussion Thread

[Hey_zeus]

The Lapsed Fan Podcast on WCCW covers Gino better with more insight from Gary Hart who was real close to him. The Brody one was the best. Everything else was pretty good.

For a series like this they could ride the mf til the wheels fall off, unlimited fukkery in wrestling.

man that Von Erich episode was sad as hell it's one thing to read about it but to see the sadness in Kevin's face while he recounts all that is crazy

also the story about him stealing the gun shows that one moment of kindness could save someone's life, you never know what people be going through

I know right, when the dudes says "Love you, Kevin" as he walks out of the store with the gun had a nikka like

this special aired on May 15th 2019

almost exactly two years apart what are the odds of that

 

[Big Jo]

what did everybody think of the moolah episode?

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Kinda figured they’d try to diffuse the rumors.

 

[jerniebert]

Just watching now. Moolah is a piece of shyt.

 

[TheJaymes]

The Lapsed Fan series on WCCW are dope. It explores everything with WCCW and The Von Erichs and Gino Hernandez. Breh's should check it out. Giving a warning some of those episodes are 3 hours long.

Glad they talking about the Spider Lady match

 

[Heelish]

Richter claiming she didn’t know the Spider Lady was Moolah

what did everybody think of the moolah episode?

Amazed at how those Moolah proteges spent the whole episode talking about how Moolah did them dirty and essentially pimped them out...only to say "people are lying and she shouldn't be erased because if she's a pimp, that would make me a ho."

Classic case of people wanting to romanticize somebody and then deny when the facts to the contrary are there. Stockholm Syndrome at its finest....or worse.

Cornette has been the most non-biased this whole series in just calling things how they are. Most of the other people are obviously biased (largely because they want to stay in the good graces of the WWE). Cornette is one of the few that isn't trying to sugarcoat.

This series really reminds me that pro wrestling really does how the most conniving & cutthroat people ever who will swear on their kids and still lie until their dying day, even with the facts in their face. You got people like Eric Bishoff in denial 20 years late. I'll be darned if all the backstage politics isn't super interesting tho
