10 Best TV Shows About Wrestling

10. Dark Side Of The Ring

Vice's acclaimed docu-series Dark Side of the Ring offers a storied window into the bleaker side of the professional wrestling business, covering a wide gamut of wrestling's most shocking tragedies from the last few decades.

Told with an even-handed, journalistic eye while being granted extensive access to high-profile figures from the industry, this is a series that's as informative as it is entertaining and at times totally shocking.

With a crucial critical distance from WWE, Dark Side of the Ring dares to dig into some of wrestling's most heartbreaking and infuriating stories that many involved would simply prefer to be forgotten.

The episodes covering the deaths of Owen Hart and Chris Benoit are unsurprising must-see TV, but even the more niche installments covering events and persons you've never heard of are compulsively watchable.

Season three wrapped up last October, and while season four hasn't yet been confirmed, given the show's ongoing success for Vice it seems like a sure thing. For even the most casual wrestling fan, Dark Side of the Ring is required reading.
