Narrated by Chris Jericho, season 4 will consist of ten episodes, and some of the subjects have also been revealed. That includes the tumultuous relationship between Tammy “Sunny” Sytch and Chris Candido; Magnum T.A.’s devastating car accident that prematurely ended his wrestling career; the story of “wrestling’s most unhinged monster,” Abdullah the Butcher; and the troubled life of Marty Jannetty, who rose to fame as one half of The Rockers alongside Shawn Michaels. It was previously reported that Mike Awesome and Bam Bam Bigelow would also be included.
Some of the show’s past topics include Brian Pillman, Owen Hart, Luna Vachon, Chris Kanyon, the steroid trials of the 1990s, Chris Benoit’s murder/suicide, and the infamous “Plane Ride from Hell.” While there were rumors of a cancelation at one point, Dark Side of the Ring still stands strong as one of Vice TV’s most successful venture. The series is the most watched series of all time for the network and has even inspired multiple spinoffs focusing on comedy, football, and the 1990s. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would also tag with Vice TV to executive produce the similar docuseries Tales from the Territories.
