“Dark Side of the Ring hails from Vice Studios’ Canadian production team and there’s a huge wrestling fan base here in Canada, so partnering on this specific series is a natural fit for Crave,” added Justin Stockman, Vice-President, Premium SVOD and OTT, Bell Media.

I disagree. In the Gino Hernandez episode, it put to rest how Gino died, and gave his mother some peace as she had been living in fear for 30 years. Besides these episodes weren’t about bringing anything new to the table, but to tell stories that we all heard about but never got the real story. The Moolah one was the most interesting one to me.

Great show when they had the proper topic. For Example- Gino Hernandez episode was an hourlong that really didn’t bring anything new to the table. Looking forward to season 2
