Various: Dark Side of the Ring Producer on Moolah, Best of the Super Jrs Night 6 Results, Indies

Dark Side of the Ring Producer Comments on Making a Fabulous Moolah Episode

Cinema Blend held a recent interview with Viceland’s Dark Side of the Ring producer Evan Husney and one of the topics discussed included his reason for making an episode focusing on the controversial side of the Fabulous Moolah’s career.

Husney stated that it was the negative backlash to WWE announcing that they would be honoring Moolah with the first ever Fabulous Moolah Battle Royal match at WrestleMania 34 that led to his interest in wanting an episode made focusing on her dark past.

“Shortly after they announced that, tons of fans and people online and other stories began to surface around the Fabulous Moolah’s history and her legacy, and most of them were negative, obviously, coming out of the Me Too movement a little bit, and looking at a time in our culture when we’re reexamining legacies, and having the conversation of separating art from artists, and those type of things. That, to us, was kind of interesting to have in the wrestling space, in that it was a very topical approach to looking at the Fabulous Moolah. Because there are so many perspectives on it, it began to look like it would fit all the criteria we had for an episode of this show.”
