Dunno if I wanna see that TA one. That wreck happened when I was 8, I'm 45 now and it's still fresh in my mind.

The Marty Jannetty one, on the other hand, should be wild.

Chris Adams and Bam Bam will be interesting and hard to watch at the same time. There's a documentary about Adams on Youtube that, if you can find it, I'd recommend.

Oh good lord she's going to be buried 600 feet under with Cornette being her only defender (and even he's done with her after she killed someone.)

As hard to watch as the Benoit and Owen stories for me, probably because I met Chris IRL a few times at shows I helped out with and know firsthand what a humble, giving dude he was. Damn near couldn't finish it. Very well done, very real and honest. I hope Chris has found peace. I hope Tammy suffers until the day she dies.

The Magnum episode wasn't that dark because he seems way happier in his life now than most wrestlers who did have the career he should have. He got in early on the cellular phone business and ended up pretty wealthy from it so isn't bitter about losing his wrestling career at all. One of the rare episodes with a happy ending. The dark side was more for Crockett losing him and having to sell to Turner and the fans not getting to see him win the title, it doesn't bother Magnum.

And Nikita was great on it, he's a great story teller.

Looking forward to watching it tonight. Be a nice breath of fresh air after the hell that was Tammy/Chris.
