The 5 must-watch Dark Side of the Ring episodes

2) The Killing of Bruiser Brody – Dark Side of the Ring Season 1 Episode 3

Dark Side of the Ring Season 1 sets the tone for what the series has become. The first episode was on Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth "The Match Made In Heaven", while the second episode was on "The Montreal Screwjob". These were topics have been tackled before by WWE and other outlets. However, the third episode went into a scandal that many fans didn't know too much about.

"The Killing of Bruiser Brody," the Dark Side of the Ring episode, was the first to show what the series was capable of. Mick Foley is a huge fan of Bruiser Brody and knows his story better than many. He made for the perfect narrator about a hardcore legend that inspired him. The talking heads included in this one might be the best selection who were all present on the night in Puerto Rico.

Tony Atlas might be the best storyteller, and delivered every word about what he saw happen to his friend Bruiser Brody that evening. Atlas expressed how and why he believed foul play happened. Dutch Mantell was less involved but added just as much. He was also the first to speak to Brody's wife after his stabbing and passing.

Bruiser Brody's wife and son made excellent contributions to this Dark Side of the Ring episode. His son brought many viewers to tears, losing out on the best years of his father's life. His wife showcased genuine emotion about how it felt to lose the man that she loved, and how the writing was on the wall before he took off for his flight. This is a tale of tragedy, heartbreak, and controversy unlike any other.
