The JYD episode was pretty good.  I had no idea he and Dibiase were so close.

That was sad about his daughter.  And it had to be tough for her that he showed up too late for her graduation and then died in a car wreck on the way home.

The Adrian Adonis one was interesting.  Pretty fucked up that after the car wreck that killed 3, someone came along and climbed into the water to rob his body.

The side story about the wrestler who trained a bear to wrestle and then the bear went bear and went into the shower to maul his girlfriend to death was also pretty fucked up.

Adonis ep had a scene very similar to this.

"He beat me up, took drugs all the time, would disappear for 3 or 4 days"

"How do you want people to remember him?"

"He was a great dad" 

"He was the world's greatest husband & father... 

Except when he was doing fucking mountains of coke." 

 

Abdullah one predictably sucked.

Earthquake one was ok.  He seemed like a really good guy.  Him doing legit sumo in Japan and having a tiny Phillipina wife were the highlights for me.

Pretty dusty after that one. He was a really good guy and those kids adored him. That's the first Dark Side I remember that wasn't based on coke, pain pills, roids, womanizing, booze or F- all of the above. 

Tenta was pretty damn athletic for his size. My favorite part was probably Haku laughing his ass off at the Shockmaster scene.

Damn, that was a good episode. Beats the shit out of the Cactus Jack-type shit, but guess that would defeat the point of the series. 

Agreed. Really enjoyed it. I was a huge mark for that Earthquake/Hogan feud when I was a kid.

“Gentleman” Chris Adams ep should be good. 

In April 2000, Adams and his girlfriend of four months, Linda Kaphengst, were both found unconscious inside a friend's apartment, the victims of an overdose of the drug GHB and alcohol. Adams recovered, but 10 hours later, Kaphengst died at a local hospital.[5][12] He then lived in Rowlett with his new wife Karen and their 7-year-old daughter.[1]

In June 2001, Adams turned himself in on a manslaughter charge that he was indicted on,[12] but while awaiting trial, on 7 October 2001, he was fatally shot in the chest with a .38 caliber handgun during a drunken brawl with a friend, William Brent "Booray" Parnell, at his home in Waxahachie, Texas. He was 46 years old.[1] Self-defense was claimed, and the gun owner was acquitted of all charges.[21] Following his death, Stone Cold Steve Austin stated "I'm sorry he got killed, but the guy did not have good karma."[6]

Adams was a crazy motherfucker.  He and Stone Cold were Eskimo brothers, both were married to Jeannie. In fact Austin credits her with the Stone Cold moniker

Well, that episode proved he was a fucking shit human being. 

But everyone they interviewed said he was a great guy….   Until they told their story, he tried to kill me or slapped me around or was a terrible person to everyone basically.  It was definitely the most he was a good guy sad attempt by the people interviewed to be nice but the story I’m telling you not so much ever, I think.  Stone Cold was right but he definitely had his demons too.  Wonder if they will ever be balls enough to do his episode…  He was literally stabbed by a porn star he was dating for being abusive and got arrested for abuse with Debra.

I thought the episode was basically he was a great guy but a piece of shit when he started drinking or doing drugs which he unfortunately had issues with.  That plus anger issues and I guess you get Dark Side-Gentleman Chris Adams. 

That was the most “he was a great guy and father” but everyone basically describing how he was a piece of shit human so far.  Also every wrestler and announcer I’ve ever heard talk about him outside of this show has said he was a terrible person.

Had to go back & watch the Grizzly episode, here’s where we discussed him. 

That was from Jake's episode right?  I remember it was fucked up. 

Rockin' Robin saying that 17 year old Sherri was too old for her dad...yikes.
