Since its inception more than a half-decade ago, Dark Side of the Ring has chronicled the lives, careers, and legacies of some of professional wrestling’s most notorious figures, events, and controversies. Though the show’s sixth season is now out on the 2025 TV schedule, bringing even more incredible and incredibly traumatic stories to viewers, there are also some stories its creators might never get to tell for one reason or another.
Ahead of the Dark Side of the Ring Season 6 premiere, which started with a breakdown of the infamous Hell in a Cell match at King of the Ring 1998, I sat down with co-creator Evan Husney to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the sport. During our chat, I asked if there was one wrestler in particular he always wanted to cover but couldn’t, and he was quick to point out an ECW legend.
