Some Mexican ones, some are ones I mentioned earlier but with some detail. The most batshyt insane one is first while the rest in the spoiler
  • La Dama Del Silencio - her mother sold her into sex slavery as a teen in exchange for three beers. She got pregnant as a sex slave. The son born from this was murdered. She became a serial killer. She murdered at least 23 people from 2003 to 2004 and was convicted for 17 of them, but evidence suggests she started her murder spree in the 90s. All her victims were elderly and she associated all her victims with her mother (shocker) and believed she was helping society by killing them.
  • Jerry Estrada killed a hooked during a cocaine binge
    [*]AAA breaking away from CMLL - taking CMLL’s booker, who spearheaded the exodus, along with most of its young talent and snatching up a lot of non-CMLL young Mexican talent. It also led to the death of another up and coming company - the UWA - and AAA snatched up their top draws too.
    [*]Mexican adjacent but Lucha Libre USA in 2012 had a gimmick where RJ Brewer was a US Border Patrol volunteer who “campaigned” against the Mexicans taking American jobs. And numerous other blatantly racist stuff was part of the gimmick.
    [*]Two years ago the Jalisco cartel murdered two wrestlers
    [*]Oro died on the way to the hospital due to injuries sustained in a match
    [*]Murders of twins La Parkita and El Espectrito Jr. - murdered by two prostitutes in a hotel by poisoning and were also robbed, left lying naked in the room
    [*]Death of Abismo Negro - found to have drowned in the woods after going nuts partying but many speculate he was murdered
    [*]Stephanie Vaquer’s ex-boyfriend who I believe is or was also a wrestler tried to murder her and many Mexican wrestlers have come out in support of the ex-boyfriend
    [*]El Hijo de Cien Caras was sitting in his car with a female companion that was not his wife when two people pulled up to him and gunned him down. The female was a nightclub owner who was allegedly smuggling goods from China and Japan
    [*]La Parka died from in-ring injuries
    [*]Angel o Demonio blindsided Cuervo with a real concrete block to the back of his head In a match
    [*]Perro Aguayo Jr died nearly instantly in a match from cardiac arrest after fracturing three vertebrae. Rey Mysterio fractured the vertebrae on a drop kick that sent Aguayo to the ropes for the 619.
    [*]Espanto I and Popeye Franco were killed by a cantina owner during a fight
    [*]Fabian el Gitano died from hemorrhagic pancreatitis due to blunt trauma to the head, believed to be either because of a homicide or suicide attempt.
    [*]Villano II committed suicide by hanging himself at home
    [*]Angel Azteca suffered a heart attack signing autographs for fans after a match and died shortly after arriving at the hospital
    [*]Doctor X was shot in the head when he tried to break up a fight while attending a religious party in Mexico City.
    [*]La Fiera was murdered when he was stabbed five times during a mugging in Mexico City
    [*]Silver King suffered a heart attack in a match with Juventud Guerrera and he died shortly after it
    [*]La Parka dove out the ring to the floor and missed hitting RUSH. He hit the steel barrier and concrete floor head first. He was paralyzed with neck and cervical fractures. He died three months later due to the injuries.

They are far away from having run out of "dark" stories to tell.
Exactly, the entire wrasslin' business is dark as fukk
Billy Jack Haynes
Ashley Massaro/Vince McMahon re-work on the doc they were making
Art Barr
Brian Christopher
Rikidozan

& a lot more
Not only that, but they never even touched Rita Chatterton or the "ring boy" scandals of the '80s.
Murder, suicide (including unintentional like overdose on illegal drugs), and death during and from a match are always “good” options. Particularly murder, which seems to be far more prevalent in Mexican wrestling. I mean like almost everyone on the below list that was murdered was Mexican.

And those subjects comprise almost everything on my below list
  • Misawa
  • Shibata - if for nothing else them covering Dave Meltzer saying his brain was temporarily emoved from his head lol
  • Daffney
  • Hana Kimura
  • ROH Rob Feinstein being a pedo
  • All the Speaking Out fallouts
  • The Eugene gimmick
  • You could get a whole season out of Vince’s sexual predator stuff
  • Reid Flair
  • Louie Spicolli
  • Art Barr
  • Sara Lee
  • Larry Sweeney
  • Crash Holly
  • La Parkita
  • Umaga
  • Villano II
  • Rick Rude
  • Mike Awesome
  • Curt Hennig
  • Chyna
  • Luna Vachon
  • Sherri Martel
  • Ricky Lawless
  • Buzz Sawyer
  • Espectrito II
  • El Hijo de Cien Caras
  • Perro Aguayo Jr
  • Jim Hady
  • Doctor X
  • Chris Adams
  • La Fierra
  • Silver King
  • La Parka II
  • Eddie Graham
They already did Luna & the Grahams

But all of those other ones would be great.

viceland isn't gonna exist in a couple years anyway

so there likely won't be more seasons:yeshrug:

i wouldn't mind a proper vince doc from the producers (not the crap vice actually put out) to counteract whatever happens on Netflix if that's still a thing.

The people behind the series can always shop it around. Would be perfect for a streamer to pick up. Netflix would be a prime option with how much they like true crime stuff, but I'm sure WWE would do their best to shut that down.

That Netflix Vince documentary I assume is permanently shelved at this point. Which sucks. I think they had plans to release it, cancelled it, brought it back and now it’s dead again. Optics concerning Vince have gone to sh1t
