My private favorites are “Match Made in Heaven,” about Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth, “The Brawl for All” which covers the cursed WWE occasion of the late 90s, and one I didn’t suppose a lot of till I hit play, “Bam Bam Bigelow – The Beast from the East.” That final one exemplifies the whole lot nice about Darkish Facet of the Ring, as Bam Bam’s household will get put within the highlight, they usually can share their tales of the person behind the famous person. Bigelow was in WWE once I began watching, and he was extremely spectacular, however by no means broke out into the famous person that he ought to have been.
Dropped at gentle in his episode is the crippling painkiller habit he developed on account of performing within the ring for many years, which introduced an finish to his profession and his life. It was a heart-wrenching episode, particularly when his daughter recounted her final reminiscence of him, nevertheless it gave me a brand new appreciation for somebody who’s, wrongly, most generally remembered for main-eventing a Wrestlemania in opposition to an NFL participant.
