Not About Dark Side Of The Ring: Nick Gage

Not About Wrestling

Welcome to episode 2 of “Not About Dark Side of the Ring” - a humorous weekly review & recap of "Dark Side of the Ring" on Vice.

This week, Steph, Chris, and Don Povia of Transition Sports & Entertainment discuss episode 2 of the show which focuses on Nick Gage.

Nick Gage is the self-proclaimed "king of deathmatch wrestling," but his road to the top includes a six-year prison sentence for robbing a bank, extensive drug use, personal tragedies, and stabbing David Arquette in the neck.

The trio talks about the appeal of the deathmatch, the lack of backstory in this week's episode, Nick's troubled past, and willingness to die for wrestling. The crew also discusses the lighter moments of the show like Jon Moxley's soundbites, Gage's last meal before prison being a Whopper, and the laying out matches that involve pizza cutters.

Plus, Steph gives the final total of the number of times she had to cover her eyes during the episode.
