Various: Dark Side Of The Ring Producer on Benoit Story, AAA Triplemania XXVII Card, Indies

Interview: Dark Side Of The Ring Series Producer on Potential Episode Based on Chris Benoit

Express Sport held a recent interview with Viceland’s Dark Side Of The Ring series producer Evan Husney and one of the topics discussed included the possibility of a Chris Benoit episode being made for a potential second season of the series.

“I think that the Chris Benoit story is obviously a very dark story.

I think that it is a tragedy that is worth re-examining cause there is a lot to be found out about the story since it happened.

I think that if it were to be done then we would really need to have the right people to talk about it and we need the people that this incident really affected the most in order to tell it kind of appropriately.

Because I think that story could have easily been told in an exploitative sort of way and so I think you just need to have the appropriate voices to be heard for that story in order to tell it properly.

But I do think it is a story that is something that if done right is definitely necessary.”
