The episodes for Dark Side of the Ring season 7 have been confirmed with the series set to premiere on July 7 on Vice.
The season is set to kick off with a three-part special focusing on TNA Wrestling and its co-founder, Jeff Jarrett.
Variety, breaking the news, also noted that further episodes would focus on Paul Orndorff, Big Boss Man, Missy Hyatt, Necro Butcher vs Samoa Joe, Zach Gowen, and Rick Wilson (The Renegade).
Co-creators of Dark Side of the Ring Evan Husney and Jason Eisener said:
“Each season, we try to challenge ourselves to go deeper, and season seven is our most ambitious yet.
“That’s especially true with our three-part exploration of TNA Wrestling, where Jeff Jarrett’s journey of redemption and resilience gives us a unique lens into the highs, struggles, and lasting impact of the foundational years of the company.
“It’s a perfect example of how compelling and ultimately human these stories really are.”
Vice TV President Pete Gaffney said:
“Dark Side of the Ring is one of our strongest franchises that speaks to our audience with its gritty exposition of the real emotional and physical costs behind professional wrestling.
“Wrestling is one of America’s most influential pop culture phenomenons, and this series further explores the blurred lines between wrestling’s spectacle and reality, ultimately uncovering the truths behind the stories fans thought they knew.”
Previous major episodes of the Dark Side of the Ring series have covered things like the Chris Benoit double murder suicide, the ‘plane ride from hell,’ the Owen Hart tragedy, the Montreal Screwjob and the ‘life and crimes’ of New Jack, with the show airing each year since 2019 with the exception of 2022.
