Dark Side of the Ring Season 2 Is In Fact Happening!

I was watching with my wife, she loves the whole Dark Side series but isn't exactly a wrestling person in general. She'll watch sometimes a bit with me when I'm in the main room watching, or if her sister joins me (who actually has started to get into it).  She tends to go research crazy when I tell her stories of behind the scenes stuff in general though, since that's what she's into so she tends to recognize pretty much everyone on tv. She knew about the fall already, but hadn't read a ton about it yet.  She couldn't believe it when I told her they didn't tell the live audience Owen had died.  About the same level of shock when JR talked about finding out 10 seconds before he went back on air.  This and the Benoit episodes both definitely had her shook.  

So now that Season 2 has ended, what did everyone prefer?? Season 1 or Season 2??

Season 1 had less episodes but I legit enjoyed them more so than Season 2 for some reason. Aside from the Benoit, Owen and Snuka stories, the rest were decent. But Season 1 had Von Erich's, Hernandez, Brody, Montreal Screw Job, Savage/Liz.... it just seemed more exciting to me.

I'm going to throw this out there. And I am guessing it was because he was exhausted and tired. But the home videos of Owen, he didn't look that happy. I've met him (the Ken Shamrock story) and he was laughing and happy. Maybe he didn't want to do it in the beginning of Martha and his relationship. But maybe he started enjoying it. And kinda telling her he wasn't happy? I have no clue. Just the videos he wasnt really smiling often.

I have so much respect and admiration for what a principled woman Martha is.

I've enjoyed nearly all of this season, I still need to go back and watch a couple from season 1.

LT should be in, the dude main evented a Mania.

Season 1 was vastly superior. the content & presentation were excellent.

I enjoyed the Owen episode from this season a lot. It far exceeded my expectations but the rest were sh*te. The Benoit episode was the same melodramatic pap we've heard 1000 times with some good info interspersed but not enough to save it.

LOD should have been a 2 parter… the timeline & editing was all over the place in it & once again Animal contradicts earlier stuff he's said & written.

Snuka & Bravo episodes could have been WAY better.

Brawl for all was passable but felt strangely like they were holding back?

New Jack ep? get outta here with that sh*te.

Wow. I really enjoyed both seasons. Lol

I did find it odd that LOD 2000 didn't even get a mention though.

Just watched the Owen episode.
I liked it.

I’ll probably go back and watch a few more

My only problem with the show, is that more often than not they're only telling one side of the story. Like I said earlier, they could have done so much more with the Owen episode. Why not interview Bret? Why not the police? Why not the guy who was responsible for the stunt? Rather than just saying Vince is the devil each week, give fans multiple perspectives and let them judge for themselves.

For example I saw someone on Reddit had posted comments made the guy (forgot his name) in charge of the stunt. The one Martha named in the episode. He said that the clip they used was supposed to hold 3600 pounds. But the manufacturer had problems with their orders, but didn't bother to issue a warning. He also said people under oath were lying about seeing him cutting the cord and supposedly talking to McMahon about "ending the Harts". I would have liked that to be included. Give him a chance to defend himself at least.

Why not interview the KC police about their findings? Ask them if carrying on the show hindered their investigation. See what conclusion they came up with.

I think that's why the Brawl For All episode was so well rounded. Russo kinda defended it, Cornette was shitting on it. Then you had talk from the guys directly effected by it, even Butterbean. All sides covered.
