Dark Side Of The Ring: Why It’s Wrestling’s Most Important Documentary Series

Before we get into Episode 5, let’s acknowledge why Dark Side of the Ring has become essential viewing for wrestling fans and historians alike.

Since its debut in 2019, the series has tackled some of the most harrowing stories in wrestling:

  • The tragic double murder-suicide of Chris Benoit
  • The mysterious death of Bruiser Brody
  • The twisted saga of the Fabulous Moolah
  • The plane ride from hell
  • The rise and fall of The Ultimate Warrior

Each episode is a masterclass in investigative storytelling, blending archival footage, candid interviews, and emotional testimonies from those who lived through these events.

Now, with Season 6 already delivering bombshells, Episode 5 is poised to continue that tradition.


What Do We Know About S6E05? (Spoiler-Free Preview)

Vice TV has been tight-lipped about the exact subject of tonight’s episode, but clues and rumors have been swirling. Here’s what we’ve gathered:

1. Possible Episode Subjects

While no official synopsis has been released, wrestling insiders speculate that Episode 5 could cover one of these high-profile stories:

A. The Fall of WWE’s “Kliq” Backstage Politics

  • The infamous backstage power struggles of the 1990s
  • How Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall allegedly controlled WWE creative
  • The Montreal Screwjob’s hidden fallout

B. The Mysterious Death of Daffney (Shannon Spruill)

  • The tragic final days of the WCW and TNA star
  • Her struggles with CTE and mental health
  • Wrestling’s failure to protect its talent

C. The Steroid Trials & Vince McMahon’s 1994 Scandal

  • The federal investigation that nearly destroyed WWE
  • How Vince avoided prison
  • The long-term impact on wrestling’s wellness policies

D. The Rise and Fall of ECW’s Most Controversial Stars

  • New Jack’s violent legacy
  • Raven’s psychological warfare
  • The real cost of ECW’s hardcore revolution

2. Confirmed Interviewees (Leaked List)

While Vice hasn’t confirmed the full lineup, sources suggest we’ll hear from:
✔ A former WWE Champion linked to the episode’s subject
✔ A retired female wrestler with firsthand experience
✔ A legendary manager breaking silence on a decades-old secret
✔ A journalist who investigated the story extensively


Why This Episode Could Be the Most Shocking Yet

If the rumors are true, S6E05 might surpass even the Benoit episode in sheer controversy. Here’s why:

1. A Story That Was “Buried” by WWE?

Many Dark Side episodes reveal stories WWE wanted to keep hidden. If this episode tackles the Kliq’s backstage tyranny or Vince’s steroid trial, it could expose long-suppressed truths.

2. Never-Before-Seen Footage

Past episodes have unearthed lost interviews, locker room recordings, and confidential documents. Will we see Vince under oath? Backstage footage of the Kliq manipulating talent?

3. A Heartbreaking Human Story

If the focus is Daffney or another fallen wrestler, expect raw, emotional accounts from friends and family about wrestling’s failure to help its own.
