On The Air: Dark Side of The Ring (2019)

Viceland is a channel that was recently added to Spectrum Cable's roster. It's also home to a six part miniseries, Dark Side of The Ring, a documentary series that takes a look at the tragedies of a number of wrestling personalities, as well as a well known scandal in the late 90's that still has ramnifications today.

In the opener, the love story of "Macho Man" Randy Savage and valet-wife Elizabeth was told with the help of Scott Hall, Eric Bischoff, & Bruce Prichard, among others. Coincidentally, Prichard, after the conclusion of production on the miniseries, has returned to work for WWE after several years away.

Here's the trailer, from Viceland's YouTube channel:



If the ratings warrant it, there's likely to be a sequel. A second docu-series, The Wrestlers, debuts later this month.

Rating: A.
