My personal favorites are “Match Made in Heaven,” about Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth, “The Brawl for All” which covers the cursed WWE event of the late 90s, and one I didn’t think much of until I hit play, “Bam Bam Bigelow – The Beast from the East.” That last one exemplifies everything great about Dark Side of the Ring, as Bam Bam’s family gets put in the spotlight, and they can share their stories of the man behind the superstar. Bigelow was in WWE when I started watching, and he was incredibly impressive, but never broke out into the superstar that he should have been.
Brought to light in his episode is the crippling painkiller addiction he developed as a result of performing in the ring for decades, which brought an end to his career and his life. It was a heart-wrenching episode, especially when his daughter recounted her last memory of him, but it gave me a new appreciation for someone who is, wrongly, most widely remembered for main-eventing a Wrestlemania against an NFL player.
