Official "Dark Side Of The Ring" Discussion Thread

I had now idea Kanyon was such a tortured soul.

 

[96Blue]

Damn, Cena talking down on him and Ric Flair burying him on the phone. I feel sorry for him.

 

[GOAT]

Cena shytting on Kanyon's wrestling ability during a period where he was getting "You can't wrestle" chants in every arena in the country night in and night out. He eventually improved, but that shyt was funny.

Flair in damage control before the episode aired:

Ric Flair issues statement on his past comments about Chris Kanyon ahead of tonight's Dark Side of the Ring


He deleted his 3rd tweet:

Next week on Dark Side of the Ring: Ric Flair and Caitlyn Jenner were both born in 1949. Coincidence? Or something more…

Wtf was he trying to say?

lol @ Ric still lowkey backing his thought that Kanyon was trash after all that

 

[Super Cheech]

Kanyon was always one of my favorite wrestlers growing up.
RIP

I saw it as Cena and Flair saying he didn't have enough character for Vince, not that he wasn't good in the ring.

Which I feel is not true because you just gotta watch that Kanyon Cutter montage to see he could be something.

No doubt. In the end they didn't even make Billy and Chuck gay. It was more a parody.

Who is Cena to even talk about Kanyon.
Kanyon was on the big stage before Cena was even a thought nationally.

Yea, that come out the closet segment was weird. I don't know what it's like to be gay, but that's a pretty self destructive segment to take part in. I would assume he would've wanted people to take him seriously no matter his sexuality.



I don't know, though. He seems like he wanted his sexuality to be part of a gimmick.

Wait, I just realized Luke Hawx was altar boy luke from xpw






I knew homie looked familiar

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Kanyon seemed like a nice guy down deep but jeez, dude was a wreck. It’s a shame his career didn’t pan out because that might’ve helped out his mental health, but he was in the wrong era for that stuff, unfortunately.

 

[Max.]

That was a boring ass episode
