Dark Side of the Ring's New Season Unearths Owen Hart Tragedy, TNA Chaos

Dark Side of the Ring season 7 kicks off with a raw, emotional deep dive into one of wrestling's most heartbreaking tragedies: Owen Hart's untimely death. The acclaimed VICE TV docuseries returns, and its premiere episode, "Jeff Jarrett & the Battle for TNA," features Jeff Jarrett's firsthand account of the 1999 incident. Imagine stepping into the ring just moments after witnessing such a horror; Jarrett grappled with that trauma for decades. This isn't just a recounting; it’s an exploration of grief’s lasting impact on a legendary career.

The season isn't stopping there. The new three-part focus on Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) is a huge draw for fans who followed the alternative promotion. TNA's saga of triumph, betrayal, and near-destruction, told through Jarrett’s lens, promises high drama.

The season will spotlight icons like Paul Orndorff "Mr. Wonderful" and Ray Traylor "The Big Boss Man." Get ready for a moment-by-moment breakdown of the brutal 2005 Necro Butcher vs. Samoa Joe clash that redefined independent wrestling. Trailblazer Missy Hyatt's turbulent life and career will be explored, alongside the tragic story of Rick Wilson, "The Renegade," and the remarkable journey of one-legged wrestler Zach Gowen. "Dark Side of the Ring" continues to pull back the curtain on the industry's most compelling, often dark, stories.
