In addition to “Dark Side of the Ring,” Viceland announced that another wrestling documentary series called “The Wrestlers” will debut on the network in the US on May 22. It originally aired on Viceland in Canada last year.
From their press release:
Following the much buzzed about wrestling docu-series DARK SIDE OF THE RING, which is posting some of the network’s biggest ratings to date), VICELAND premieres THE WRESTLERS on May 22 at 10pm ET. Hosted by hardcore musician and life-long wrestling fan Damian Abraham (lead singer for the Canadian punk band F**ked Up), the series goes beyond the world of mainstream professional wrestling to dive into the vibrant, fascinating and bizarre subcultures in the wrestling universe around the world. From Lucha Libre in Mexico to the women’s wrestling scene in Japan to “voodoo wrestling” in Congo and countless points between.
The show’s Twitter account shows several wrestlers that will be featured in the series, including Matt Riddle, Toni Storm, Kota Ibushi, the Lucha Bros, Mia Yim and more.
