Anyone has been following Dark Side of the Ring? Or has seen any episodes?
Been watching the second season (haven't watched the first - yet) and really loving every bit of it. The episodes on Chris Benoit are must watch, with the participation of David Benoit and Nancy's sister. The New Jack episode seems like a nicely produced shoot w/add-ons from D-Lo Brown, Jim Cornette and The Sandman - Jack's probably a nice guy to chat with, if he's in the mood and you don't manage to piss him off. The 4th episode is about the Brawl For All tournament, probably the most revealing one (insights from Vince Russo, Jim Cornette, Bart Gunn, The Godfather and Droz, to name a few).
Share your thoughts, guys!

First season was great, I'd recommend trying to track down the Brody, Von Erich and Gino Hernandez episodes, Brody covers his life and the stabbing incident with Atlas, Mantell and Vega, Von Erich their tragic story although if you've seen Heroes of World Class you'll know what's going on, and the Gino one is odd, he was a heavy drug user and people thought he got in with the wrong crowd when he died so bad his mum thought drug dealers was stalking them for money.
The other ones were good, the Savage/Liz one basically tells how much a dick Randy was, Moolah gets a little dark as it covers Moolah's control of women's wrestling and it's wrestlers. But I'd say the Montreal screwjob is the dullest of them all, doesn't really add much new and just tells what's already been told.
Caught Benoit and New Jack so far from series two, both been pretty interesting.

Gonna check the whole first season out, though, for sure.

Their all good, just dont expect anything new out of the screwjob episode, it's been done to death on all angles and it just puts it all together.

On a related note, if your looking at VICE shows, try and find "The Wrestlers", it's a documentary series looking into various aspects of wrestling. there is an interesting look at lucha, exoticos, DDT and Stardom, as well as a fun weird one on African Voodoo Wrestling.
These are the episodes - The Next Wave of Mexican Luchadores - The Best New Wrestling Talent in America - Body Slamming Homophobia in Mexico - Smash the Patriarchy - The Only Show in Town - DDT - Joshi Puro - Voodoo Wrestling - Life After Wrestling - Death Match

Of the ones I've seen so far, the Bruiser Brody one was very interesting.

Season one was superb, I watched most of it on the train and the journeys just flew by.
