Official "Dark Side Of The Ring" Discussion Thread

[TheGreatShowtime]

Here's a few more ideas for Season 3:

• Sexual Abuse / Harassment in Wrestling (Can talk about the ring boy stuff with Pat Patterson, Sable's lawsuit, Nicole Bass and Brooklyn Brawler accusation, Barry Orton and Terry Garvin, Cokeboy and the tanning salon attendant, all the raunchy stuff Cokeboy would do on camera in the Ruthless Aggression era with divas like Sable, Trish, Torrie and Stacy, Christy Hemme being let go after accusing Batista of some stuff)
• Hayabusa's broken neck / FMW's death matches
• Rob Feinstein being a pedo
• XPW and their ties with porn & drugs
• Arn Anderson & Sid stabbing each other and almost killing each other (don't think this will ever get spoke about from Arn, but there's a shoot video on YouTube with Sid's perspective)

• Bam Bam Bigelow (Backstory, Kliq burial, ECW/WCW run, drug problem, saving the kids from the burning building, death via overdose)

• Kamala (Situation with diabetes and no support from WWE)

• Hardbody Harrison and being a pimp

• Jim Herd's ineptitude almost killing WCW from the jump and basically killing the NWA

• Magnum TA's car crash

• Could do an entire episode on depression and focus on Mike Awesome, Kanyon, Crash Holly and Renegade

• Marty Jannetty's scumbaggery

That’s a perfect Season 3 maybe add a Chyna or another big name and BOOM!!!

One more episode (or series of episodes...) they could do is Hogan being a complete piece of shyt.

• Steroids
• Richard Belzer incident
• Never losing clean, even when he was supposedly passing the torch
• Refusing to put Bret Hart over / winning the title at WM9 and losing it at KOTR shortly after
• Hiring bums like the Nasty Boys and Brutus Beefcake everywhere he went & then rehashing all his old WWF feuds in WCW (Earthquake, Macho Man, Piper, Warrior)

• Thinking the long drawn out feud of Hulkamania vs. Dungeon of Doom was a good idea

• Refusing to do business with Ric Flair, when they were both at the peaks of their careers

• Creative control in WCW & refusing to put over talent - didn't put Sting or Goldberg over clean

• Fingerpoke of Doom

• Shenanigans with Russo

• Refusing to put over Shawn Michaels & Randy Orton in 2005-2006

• Basically killing any/all credibility TNA / Impact was building in the late 2000's
• Paying for his douchebag kid to get out of any legal repercussions from killing his friend in that car crash & then smearing the dead kid's name through the mud
• Giving Brooke Hogan a platform for her shytty music

• Sex tape incident exposing him as a racist

 

[LastManStanding]

Martha's side wasn't as accurate as the documentary heavily showcased it to be. Bret has spoken in detail about this before. either way the entire thing is just terrible.

Don't forget him ratting out the boys when they wanted to start a union.

[ThisIsLife]

I would like to see a Chyna episode, I can easily see them doing that next season.

Terry Funk
Sabu
This might not be popular, but Abdullah
That dude spit on my pops when my pops was a kid. He was still wrasslin at the time and it must have been 40 year old story

Based on his Shady ass Testimony in the Brody Episode...and just his overall creepy demeanor...yea Butcher definitely needs his own ep.
I got the feeling breh knew more about the Brody situation than he was letting on. Probably got a graveyard full of skeletons in his closet.

That would be perfect but I doubt half of those topics would be covered
You came up with a whole season 3
That's a must see

It doesn't sound that different. I don't think Martha not wanting the WWE DVD to be great or thorough is at odds with what she was saying in DSOTR. Seems like it all comes down to, WWE is the most equipped (library of footage, access to relevant people, production teams, access to fans, etc) to honor Owen's life and so Bret and a lot of fans want to see them allowed to do it, but Martha doesn't want that satisfaction given to the company she holds responsible. It just sucks all around..

 

[Breh the HitMang]

Vader is a must

His rise in Japan and fall in America

Vice needs to throw me the bag and let me join the production team

 

[VegetasHairline]

Just a heads up, The After Dark episode for Owen Hart will be on at 9:30 PM EST tonight.

It sucks that we ain't getting a new episode tonight. I looked forward to watching this with y'all every Tuesday.

If you don't mind @TheGreatShowtime I'm going to try to send your suggestions to the guys in charge of the show.
