Nothing really new here that you can't find on many many YouTube channel but the production quality and interviews are of a much high standard If you grew up watching wrestling anytime in the late 70's through to the early 90's this series is absolutely gold

A few weaker episodes but the really big stories make up for those as a whole The bruiser brody episode is a high light.

The wrestling world is truly a conundrum of what seems like an absolute dream job performing in front of 10's of thousands of fans and millions worldwide. But scratch the service and you will see more disturbing tales and tragedies than Hollywood could ever of mustered up. Dark side of the ring is incredibly well made with thorough investigation and researche into the most shocking and disturbing stories of wrestling. Depending which way you look at it, there are plenty of incidences that will definitely provide material for a few series at least. Even for a neutral you will be entertained with great drama of larger than life characters and stories of sex, drugs and murders will leave you thinking "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON". If you are a fan you will instantly fall in love with this series, with every storied legend having it's own episode. I would just sit back and really enjoy a fantastic series that will just get better as it goes on.

I grew up watching wrestling during the 80s/90s and I'm fascinated by stories of what happened behind the scenes. I've been watching interviews of wrestlers on YouTube for years so when I seen this advertised I was really excited. I've watched the first 4 eps and they've all been brilliant, especially the one about Bruiser Brody which was unbelievable. Hopefully they do more and more of these stories because they are really interesting to watch. 10/10 from me.

I got into wrestling in the late 80s when I was a kid and stopped watching not long after and then was back in to it in the late 90s which was also short-lived so I don't know that much about it. That being said. This is a hardcore no BS documentary. This is the way docs should be done. Chris Jericho narrates season 2 which is when it really shines. The Benoit was heart wrenching as was the Owen Hart which I was in attendance with my cousin at Kemper Arena in Kansas City so I saw that one in person and I still didn't know the full story until now. If you like good docs that don't pull any punches? Check this out.

This is by far one of the best documentary series ever created. I was a young fan in the attitude era and as I grew up I grew out of wrestling. I didn't know anything of the history before. Watching this and finding out these stories has been breathtaking and I don't want it to end. How can there be so much tragedy in wrestling!?! My younger self can't comprehend it and my adult self is so intrigued. This is a must watch or fans or NOT fans of wrestling.
