Dark Side Of The Ring on SBS Viceland – Professional wrestling is the only sport whose stars live in two worlds, balancing their in-ring characters with real life.
Dark Side of the Ring examines the complex intersections of fantasy and reality while uncovering wrestling’s dark, untold history.
Season 5 digs deeper than ever, examining underground icons Sandman and Chris Colt, larger than- life legends Harley Race and Sherri Martel, and the infamous events of “Black Saturday.”
Season Five, Episode One: The Ballad Of ‘Earthquake’
John Tenta couldn’t be further from the monstrous ‘Earthquake’ WWF fans loved to hate. As his career
faded, a health battle would threaten to take him from the family he loved.
Episode Two: 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.
Episode Three: 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.
