Official "Dark Side Of The Ring" Discussion Thread

[LastManStanding]

Wrestling isn't just WWE (and now AEW) though. The real stories of independent guys who never got a sniff at "The Show" are just as interesting and compelling. And Nick Gage has a great story. Nearly died in the ring, had to be airlifted out of somebody's backyard in a field. Addiction. Bank Robbery. Prison. Whole THIRD ACT of his career. If New Jack deserves a DSotR, for sure Nick Gage does.

New Jack is a legend who worked for a legit company that people know about.

Nick Gage is a bum who worked in the owner of CZW's backyard and nothing more

great episode as usual.

however for next week, this is what a lot of fans were worried about with them watering down the series. no reason to waste an episode on some backyard wrestler just because he's close with Ambrose/Moxley

Renee had the two creators on her podcast this week. They said Vice asked them for 14 new episodes for this season, and they seemed really overwhelmed by the request especially with covid happening.

Haven't watched yet but standards and practices flat out told them they can't play the Moxley/Gage pizza cutter spot lol

I read up on Nick Gage and he’s an awful person, but his story is compelling.

that said, I hate everything CZW and companies like them stand for. That shyt adds no value to the industry but Vice loves covering it.

VICE only cares about ratings and DSOTR has given them their best ratings.

unfortunately if the money they're offering is good enough, the DSOTR producers are going to be forced to water down the series.

That episode was tough to watch for a few reasons Pillman's body legit betraying him Vince being an ass and Pillman Jr's childhood due to his step father is what got me smh

 

[Lurk Angle]

This pillman episode was depressing

Dude died around the same age as Owen
Crazy

Also his wife

 

[MenacingMonk]

Crazy to see Cornette get emotional like that.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Hearing Brian Jr.‘s story growing up.

Too many pieces of shyt in this world need to be exterminated.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Shout out to his sister for saving spiders. I do that with most of them too.

So she asked you to not ask about drugs, first question was about drugs.
Vince is a fukking dikk

 

[Flex Luger]

Folks really thought his accident was a work and he was getting surgery to look like Shawn Michael to set up a feud

 

[raw613]

Didn't know the details of why his first wife killed herself and how foul his second wife was, the interview with Vince was nasty business too. Crazy what the kid was all going through with the stepdad and all that. Whole ep did well in documenting Pillman being one of the first to really blur the lines between work and shoot the way he did also, good ep overall

Grade A piece of shyt

 

[Flex Luger]

Makes you wonder how his life would’ve played out if not for that accident
