Starts next week.

10 episodes covering the following topics: Chris Adams, Sherri Martel, Terry Gordy, Black Saturday, Chris Colt, The Sandman, Earthquake, Harley Race, Buff Bagwell and Brutus Beefcake.

Dark Side Of The Ring Season 5 Episode 1 The Ballad of 'Earthquake' John Tenta (Mar 5, 2024)
John Tenta couldn't be further from the monstrous Earthquake character WWF fans loved to hate; as his career faded, a health battle threatened to take him from the family he loved.

S5 E2 · Dark Side Of The Ring Season 5 Episode 2 Buff and The Bagwells
Marcus "Buff" Bagwell's brash persona in the ring was easily matched by his wild antics outside of it, made even wilder by the eccentric family he brought along for the ride.

S5 E3 · Terry Gordy: Final Flight of the Freebird
Already a wrestling star as a teenager, Terry Gordy's time with the renowned Fabulous Freebirds made him a living legend until an accidental overdose robbed him of everything.

Buff Bagwell

I have friends who live up where he does in north Atlanta (Woodstock) and have run across him who say he's kind of a dick.

I’ve never been a big wrestling fan, but I enjoy the shite out of this show.

Apparently season 6 will be a 10 part series dedicated solely to Vince McMahon.

Can't wait for the Gordy episode. One of my all time favorite wrestlers. One of the most talented and athletic big men ever. Was a pro at 16

I believe it got bought up.

Even if it hadn’t, Dark Side would have landed somewhere as long as it still gets ratings.


The Earthquake one has local ties as John Tenta is a former LSU Tiger wrestler and defensive lineman.

Most of the episodes have been pretty good in this series. Looking forward to another season even though I wasn’t really a huge wrestling fan.

Brutus lives in Nola these days. He prances around the FQ, and seems to have a lot of sugar in his tank.

Max would like the NWA B team.

Yesterday I learned that Dusty Rhodes real name was Virgil.

He walked on to the football team after the wrestling team was cut.

He was on that crazy weirdo reality series Gigolos from a while back, and yes, as a real sex worker.
