Viceland's Dark Side of the Ring documentary series

The Bruiser Brody episode of Dark Side of the Ring is airing on SBS Viceland in Australia tonight.

Dark Side of the Ring The Killing of Bruiser Brody

9:35PM - 10:25PM

Wrestlers relive the tragic evening in 1988 when they witnessed a locker room confrontation that resulted in the death of legendary wrestler Bruiser Brody.

Yea we get it next week I believe. Bruiser first then a week or so later it's Macho & Liz.

The Wrestlers episode on death matches was interesting. It was weird to see Jun Kasai's family who are completely normal people who just accept this is what he chooses to do for a living. And I think his mom thinks wrestling is real from what she said during his match. Also Onita hanging out at the bar was cool.

We get the Wrestlers docs in July on the UK version of Vice.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

The Wrestlers starts tonight at 10:30pm on SBS Viceland in Australia.

The whole series is up on SBS On Demand.

I wish there were more than four episodes because that's some fascinating viewing right there. The 3rd episode in particular affected me, probably because I've always been such a Joshi fan.

Do a New Jack episode~! Cornette discovered him.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

The Dino Bravo one should be interesting.

Benoit, meh. There's nothing wrong with doing an ep on him because his is the most infamous story in wrestling, but we've seen/heard/read everything about it already.

[Big Boss Man]

Yea I heard they were making a Dino one a while back. I'd be interested in seeing docs on

- Dynamite Kid
- New Jack
- Vince WWF steroid trial
- Brian Pillman and about Brian Jr being a wrestler now
- Gentleman Chris Adams

Chris Benoit has been covered a lot but they managed to make the Von Erich doc interesting when their story has been covered heavily too. Plus it'll likely be the best rated episode of the season and they need ones like that so they'll get renewed for a third season.

[Bandit]

The Adams one would be one of the darkest episodes they'd do. That guy was a horrible human being due to his alcohol and cocaine addiction. And he had a Luger/Liz situation with his girlfriend dying, and then his best friend had to murder him in self defense shortly afterwards.

Mass Transit.

[Ocelot]

Best hint ever.

[Big Boss Man]

Season 2 will have ten episodes, some of these are definite, a few are still not confirmed:

Chris Benoit
Mass Transit
Brawl for All
Dino Bravo
Herb Abrams
Owen

[Bandit]

I can't wait to see their reenactment of Herb Abrams naked, covered in baby oil and slipping out of the grips of police officers. I hope they play the Benny Hill song during it.

[Big Boss Man]

I believe Cactus talked about Herb in his first book.
