Trailer For Dark Side Of The Ring Documents The Death Of Chris Benoit

Dark Side of The Ring, Vice’s documentary series on the not-so-glamorous side of professional wrestling, returns March 24 with whole new subjects. It kicks off with a two-hour season premiere that tackles the most controversial figure in the modern era of the sport: Chris Benoit. Former WWE superstar and one of Benoit's best friends, Chris Jericho, will provide narration for the premiere.

The upcoming season for the Vice TV show goes in depth into the tragic story for the former WCW/WWE wrestler, interviewing friends and family 13 years after Benoit's death, including talking to his son, David. “That definitely was not him. He’s still my hero,” David Benoit said. Check out the new trailer for the upcoming season below.

In 2007, Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and seven-year-old son Daniel before hanging himself in his Fayetteville, Georgia home, sending shockwaves through the industry and mainstream news. At the time, Benoit was one of the most popular wrestlers in WWE.

Benoit has since been scrubbed from most of WWE history and footage and remains a hot topic among wrestling fans and pundits.

Season 2 will also cover the murder of Dino Bravo; the controversial “Brawl for All” tournament that led to career-ending injuries; the crazed career of New Jack and his stabbing of a competitor; David Schultz’s violent run-in with a 20/20 reporter; the death of Nancy Argentino, Jimmy Snuka’s girlfirend; the inside story of wrestling’s ultimate tag team partnership Hawk and Animal; and Owen Hart’s career and tragic fall to his death on live pay-per-view.

There will also be a new weekly aftershow hosted by comedian and wrestling fan Chris Gethard. The show will air immediately following each episode at 11:00 PM ET/PT.

The new season of Dark Side of the Ring will air weekly on Tuesdays at 10:00 PM ET/PT.
