I think it could have done with a bit more on Sunny post candido's death. It made it look like the next thing that happened after he died was sunny going to prison when it was like 15 years of her continued decline between. Watching the most emotionless man ever Lance Storm crying was tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the struggles of Sunny is an episode in and of itself. Maybe a two-parter. Obviously it doesn't have the production value of a DSOTR episode or anything, but here's a decent look at Sunny's issues:  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the most emotionless man ever Lance Storm crying was tough. The difficulty was the episode was only 45 minutes long. I thought they covered most of the important parts of their story well within a limited time slot. I suppose the argument could be made that 45 minutes isn’t enough for certain topics.

Dai Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Thought the Candido one was very good, and covered his story very well for the time they have. As others have said, Sunny is easily a two part episode by herself. Haven't Vice closed for business now though? If so, not likely now. Thought the Bourne one was very good too, and a perfect subject for Dark Side. Seemed like an awful person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose they wouldn’t have had co-operation from his daughter and ex wife if they opened that can of worms but it’s a major part of his story and for a show called ‘Dark Side Of The Ring’ to just ignore the darkest story about a subject because it’ll ruffle feathers is shite. The Candido episode was alright. Sunny is fucking scum but that’s no revelation. The one on the Graham family was the one of the saddest of all the series for me. Three generations committing suicide. What a horrible tragic story. Mike Graham’s daughter came across really well in that episode. For all the shit she’s been through and still be so positive she must be made of some strong stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddymagic Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Enjoyed the JYD one, but wasn't much meat on the bone. A lot of wrestlers did lots of drugs in that era, he was No exception.  Candido/Sunny felt like it barely got going. Should have been a two partner with lots more focus on Tammy's fuck ups.  Doink has been best by far so far; but feel the Jannetty ep will eclipse all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was FOUR, sadly, Everybody thinks of Eddie, and he was followed by Steven (Mike's son) and Mike. But B. Brian Blair pointed out in the episode that both Eddie's father and his brother, Skip, had taken their own lives earlier, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never even knew about that story! Yeah that's really bad that they left that out. I'm sure the daughter and wife didn't have huge creative control or could veto the whole thing if they brought it up, so that's a big omission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're back with the Adonis episode on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 The Bash 2000 show didn't give much new info at all but the winner of the entire thing was Lance Storm taking the piss outta Hogan for getting hot over being called bald. Russo is still a moron and Bischoff probably hasn't told the truth once in over two decades. Neither looks good, Hulk was right to not talk on here either.

SaitoRyo Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I did groan a little when I saw BATB 2000 as a subject because, I mean, really? It was entertaining enough though. Also nice to have a 'lighter' topic after so much death and other tragedy. Neither Russo or Bischoff will ever admit to being flat-out wrong in any context, so I wasn't surprised to see it basically devolve into a slagging match, BRO. In the end, Hogan was the real winner since he got a massive payout from it all and his career was so strong that, really, this was just a blip on the radar. I'm looking forward to The World According to Marty Jannetty next week. Should be a doozy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
