This includes the infamous “Plane Ride from Hell,” unpacking the life and death of wrestlers like Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, and the accident that killed Owen Hart. Husney and his team have tackled prolific wrestling stories through the first three seasons. “I think, just for me, it’s just always trying to keep in mind, how can we see the world through the weird lens of wrestling.” “Even though it’s the crazy world of wrestling, you can really relate to a lot of the stories on the show,” Husney said when he was part of a live POST Wrestling broadcast with John Pollock and Brandon Thurston on Thursday. He wanted to approach pro wrestling’s harder-to-discuss topics in a way that people could connect with, even if they weren’t an active follower of the scene. Husney, along with co-creator John Eisener and their team at Vice Studios have had the same goal with the show since the very start, back when they were shooting the first season and their show didn’t even have a title. Evan Husney isn’t afraid to admit that the title of the Vice TV show Dark Side of the Ring could sound a little tabloid or negative at first - but that’s certainly not the approach he has had since launching the series in 2019.
