Official "Dark Side Of The Ring" Discussion Thread

How did any wrestler agree to perform in that same ring after that? Jesus Christ, man.

I would've just walked out. fukk that carny bullshyt.

Me too.... don’t think I could’ve worked in that ring afterwards

I remember in HS a guy who was a freshman on the freshman Bball team and kind of a protege of mine (he even wore the same jersey as me).

He died on the court in practice and even we cancelled all practices that day and gave that incident a moment

Wonder why Russo wasn't on this episode.

Wonder why Russo wasn't on this episode.

because he was responsible for bringing the gimmick back.

Then it woulda turned into another pissing match between him and Cornette through Vice.

That said, I'm gonna have to watch this again just to see who they bring in for the After Dark segment.

great episode, but really hate how they crammed all of the important details into the final 10 minutes of the show ... this should have been a 2 hour episode like the Benoit one.

they needed an entire hour for the details of what they crammed into the final minutes.

Brehs... how the fukk can someone be so cold blooded to sue a widow after her husband dies on their watch..?

I have to imagine Martha wanted no parts hearing Russo tell on the situation

In less than 4 days it will 21 years.

Yeah even as a high school freshman that Monday morning I wondered why that event continued?

I mean this was a few years later and he probably covered the chick that Snuka killed death.

I’m watching now and this episode feels so fast

Vince is a legit piece of shyt

 

[threattonature]

They left out so much shyt on this episode. One of the terms of the funeral was no recording and WWE brought a whole camera crew and aired footage on the next Raw. They didn't go into details on just how shady the Hart family was in the ordeal. Just a passing mention. I wish I remember where I read the breakdown on the full beef Martha has with the WWE but it was a lot of interesting shyt that didn't make it into this episode. I also wish they went deeper on how inept the guys in charge of the harness were and how they had to scramble to even find one.

Watching this right now...I'll give my thoughts later but that footage of Jerry Lawler coming back to the announcing desk after helping Owen might be the most haunting footage in wrestling history. Lawler just looks destroyed as JR asks him about Owen's condition, and I've never heard him sound as somber and subdued as he does in that clip before or since.

 

[TrueEpic08]

If you wonder why Jim Cornette is such a fukking insane person about the business, tragedies like these are why.

 

[all3rd]

Yes she did.

If Steph cut this type of promo on Martha Hart Monday.
