I finally watched all three Dark Side of the Ring episodes on TNA.
For my money, Karen Jarrett vs. Dixie Carter is the match everyone wants to see.
Without Carter in the documentary, it was really the story of Jeff Jarrett which, in fairness, is pretty much the story of TNA.
I’ve always liked Jarrett (and even tried to get a job with Global Force Wrestling in 2015!), and he has had a roller coaster of a career, inside and outside of the ring.
Back to Carter for a second. She was a punching bag with little defense. Side note: I met her when I interviewed for a TNA job (also in 2015, also didn’t get it since I was way under qualified but somehow landed an interview haha). She was friendly and conversational.
Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan were the next biggest villains in this series. Meanwhile, Vince Russo wasn’t the villain you’d think he’d be.
It’s a fascinating three-part series that needed 15 parts (and Carter and Hogan) to properly explore the full TNA story.
I’d still recommend it.
