Vince totally paid someone off here, watching now
|
He totally greased some pockets
|
I am looking forward to the dino bravo ep, I have always wanted to hear more about that
|
Same here.
|
They can get a lot of info for what his life was at the time but I wonder what kind of info they can get on the hit, don't think they can get mafia guys to talk and most of the Cotroni family got killed when the Rizzuto and the Hell's Angels took over
|
Mob guys seemingly never shut the fuck up so I'm sure they'll have found somebody suitably shady to talk to.
I was surprised and pretty impressed that they got the cop to appear in the Snuka episode. |

Wouldn't put it past them to have Martha for the Owen episode.
|
Cornette and Russo come in to claim sole credit for the accident, each saying the other wouldn't have the foresight to kill a Hart like that.

Holy shit at the Dino Bravo stuff.
I had no idea about ANY Of that. definitely tuning in |
Yeah it's a pretty crazy story and the one this season where there's not a ton of info out there

Season 3 is going to be a bunch of cripplings and sex offences surely. Maybe a plane crash or two...
All capped off by the steroid doctors. |
Rikidozan would be a good one actually.
|
For season 3 maybe some of those could be interesting
Ric Flair plane crash Art Barr (or every sex offender if there's not enough with Barr) An episode on Yokozuna's life out of the ring could be good Story of the territories system and if Vince is really the only reason it died An episode on all Haku/Meng stories could be a good lighter episode |
Or maybe one episode on backyard wrestling, extreme hardcore shit and peoples without any training destroying their lives in front of 8 fans for 5 bucks and a cup of instant noodles !
|
They gotta do one on Chris Adams
|
If they did any real investigation into Haku I worry the bubble would burst and you'd see a lot of talk and a couple of police reports/statements but no really compelling evidence. Even if they could turn up a recipient of one of his beatings none of the jaw snapping, nose biting, eye gouging would look or sound as funny as the stories would have you believe.
Some poor jerk hobbles out with a hole where his eye should be... I dunno man. Haku is better kept as a legend. Probably better off legally too. |
Chris Adams does need one. I've heard a 2-3 hour podcast outlining his crimes and misadventures and it was some entertaining, crazy shit.
They'd have to get Austin. I'd watch one on Taras Bulba/Bruiser Bedlam too. He was a contract killer and leader of some biker gang I think. |
If be down for an episode on when a bunch of Marines beat up Shawn Michaels.
|
|
I think a lot of cripplings and molestings will be in season 3.
|
They really gotta do one on Jerry Lawler's arrest in the early 90s
|
I honestly would struggle to watch that.
I know you know, but I doubt a lot of people know the actual full alleged details of that. It's definitely true. |
I believe he only got charged with witness tampering at the end of the day. It's been a little bit since I've read about it.
It's pretty fucked. I think she ended up saying she told her bf that she slept with Lawler to get back at her bf. The whole story is fucked. She was underaged in case some of you haven't heard the story. |
I think a few arms were twisted
|
Not a huge Conrad Thomson fan, but he does an interview on Jr's feed with one of the guys from DSOTR regarding the Snuka episode and he brings up some really interesting behind the scenes stuff about Tonga Kid
|
Just watched Bravo's episode preview and sadly I saw Jacques Rougeau. Raymond is pretty reliable on wrestling stories but Jacques is a great Bulshiter !
|
|
Quote:
|
That when Tonga Kid told the story about how he was in the car with Snuka and Nancy the night of the murder how it caught the producers off guard because nobody had heard that before. They asked him about it over and over again to make sure he wasn't confused. They then figured out Tongs Kid wasn't aware of the story Snuka told the police.

I really hope they got Rick Martel, I remember 5 or 6 years after the murder he did an interview in french and he really knew a lot of Dino's story after wrestling.

Gertner is so on top of the news that he posts news from a podcast he doesn't even want to listen to.
|
If anyone has an interest there is a Conrad podcast mixed into his JR podcast feed called Dark Side Of The Podcast where he talks to the producers of Dark Side Of The Ring to further discuss episodes.
It is excellent. |

Lol they lost the match by count out. |
Jacques Rougeau was ahead of his time. A Rougeau reality show would have been epic back in the day.
French Canada is nuts wrestling-wise. |
Jacques Rougeau is amazing
|
Just finished watching the Snuka episode and wow at the story of Vince calling Nancy's family offering them money while police detective were in their house at the time.
Was a pretty great episode overall and one of the series best episodes from start to finish. |
I rewatched Snuka's episode and I think it's the second worst of the series after Moolah's, absolutely nothing new was said, it still the same rumors and he says-she says with nothing to back it up, they couldn't even get someone to say that the meeting with Vince really happened, yes the cop looks like he's lying but you can"t send someone to jail with that !! Even for Fatu, he start the episode saying that he don't remember Nancy's name and never talked to her and then at the end he sudenly remember after 36 years he remember that he was traveling with them !!

Season 3 could be... Tammy Sytch/Chris Candido, Teddy Hart, Patterson Ring Boys, Steroid Trial, Chyna, Deathmatch Wrestling, Wrestler’s Court...
Could also do an episode on urban legends. Investigate if they are true. Macho/Stephanie, Sid shits his pants, Hogan black eye at Mania 9, different Warriors/Taker etc.. |

The guys who co-wrote the Montreal Wrestling history book(Mad Dogs, Midgets and Screwjobs) that I own did a lot of the behind the scenes work on the Dino Bravo episode (Pat Laprade and Bertrand Hebert) so it should be well done.

The Mountie explaining what a booker is to an audience who already knows
|
Oh wow, Gino Brito.
I love these random names that appear on these shows |
Dino is the HH of Montreal
"I'm not doing the job tonight frère" |
Lol Jacques Rougeau is just the greatest. An unabashed bullshitter.
|
just watched part II of Benoit...emotional
|
Why is a six year old getting home from ballet lessons at 12:30 AM
|
Rick Martel definitely knows more but can't say for his own safety.
|
Ah my fucking Vice conked out so I gotta watch it tomorrow.
|
ugh, speaking that ugly Montreal French.
|
The YouTube cut of this is fucking impossible to watch.
Constant blank spots. |
not an uninteresting story, but really, who fucking cares about Dino Bravo?
|
Yeah I really didn't enjoy it too much
|
Lol I care about Dino Bravo
Gonna watch it tonight. For whatever reason Vice kept skipping for me last night so I only saw the first 10 minutes. I'll be able to stream it tonight. |
I think Vice must have been skipping for a lot of people because the only two uploads I could find on YouTube were both fucked. Those loading dots kept appearing every few minutes.

The first half of the episode is pretty skippable. The second half was better when they actually talked about the murder, but nowhere close to as good as the other murder episodes they’ve done.

Grilling JR is the only listenable show he does. Haven't listened to the Arn show yet, but it looks like the same format like every other show he does.
|
I miss hb2ks podcast
|
Just started watching these last night. Currently on the Vino Hernandez episode and really looking forward to the others. The Bruiser Brody episode is prob my favorite so far.

Speak english not english! |
Dr. D David Schultz next week. Not too sure how they are going to get an hour out of the Stossel incident.
It's Dr.D so prepare for a nice dose of bullshit mixed with entertainment |
Then it's Herb Abrams and the UWF. I have so many awesome stories about Herb and they are all amazing. Can't wait for this episode.
|
On the New Jack episode now and holy shit it is wild
|
Just finished the Dino Bravo episode. Pretty good episode. His daughter is hott.
|
Are the episodes honestly worth watching outside of Benoit?
|
The New Jack episode was good, as was the Snuka one.

Dino Bravo ep had too much French. I took 4 years of French and it made me realize how much time I wasted
|
Learning French in the hopes of understanding a French Canadian is a bit like trying to play Blackjack at a Texas Hold Em table.
|
Besides Season 3 likely being a lock, seems VICE is also considering a potential spin-off series for non-wrestling topics based on the positive reception Dark Side of the Ring series has been generating for the network.
Quote:
|
After binging all the episodes I hate that have to wait until the 28th for the next one.
|
David Schultz to me is like what the Stone Cold character was but for real for real. He is awesome and it's a shame his career dwindled. Looking forward to this one.
|
He pretty much got blackballed after the Stossel incident. I think he showed up in Stampede and Memphis for a brief spell but that's it.
|
He later became a bounty hunter
|
Really looking forward to Herb Abrams story. I can't really imagine why it's on "The Darkside" of the Ring... is there some scandal involved? I know a bit about the promotion taping in Vegas and doing a couple of "PPV's". Not my favorite super fed attempt but interesting none the less. My favorite attempt at a super fed is the little known about Jerry Jarret was involved in the the 90's I believe.
|
Lol I'm bursting at the seams wanting to answer that question. I just don't want to spoil the episode, but yes there's tons of crazy Herb Abrams stories.
|
Just look at the episode title ffs
|
I have had one image of Herb Abrahams in my mind since I heard about him and it's speedos in a silk dressing gown with cocaine all through his chest hair.
Think Burt Reynolds in "Striptease" |
Quote:
Watching the Snuka episode now and the former sheriff just said "the fact that some tells different stories is not enough evidence to charge someone with a crime." :eek: Right buddy ... nothing odd about that statement. |
Quote:
"Hey Bruce what about this, hey Eric tell me how you did that, hey JR what do you think of so and so." I don't see the value, he just takes up time from the people I actually want to hear talk. |
Quote:
The former Sheriff was hilariously sketchy. I mean it was perfect. |
Quote:
|
I think questions like that see you in a concrete box
|
20k for a local Sheriff I reckon.
20k in the 80's. Right into his nostrils. |

What's extra about the extended cut episodes of Benoit? My DVR recorded them but they're still 1 hour long each. I don't want to watch again if it's not something worthwhile
|
Quote:
Hmm |
One question, how is Dark Side of the Ring able to use WWF/E footage?
|
They only use very short clips and they use youtube clips that are slightly distorted. I believe it's called "Fair Use"
|
Just flip the image and distort the sound, you wiley pirates
