10 Things We Learned From Dark Side Of The Ring: Buff Bagwell

10. His Dad Provided Cocaine

Buff's father Steve doesn't really come out of VICE's show looking great.

He'd hand Bagwell and friends bags of cocaine around the house when everyone was readying for a night on the town. Then, he'd remind the boys to have fun but stay out of trouble. OK then. That's hardly banner parenting for starters, but things get worse from there.

Steve also laughs during 'Dark Side' when he recalls losing a bet then unloading an entire clip of ammo on some geese because he was angry. We're not quite talking 'Father Of The Year' material here, being frank. It's no wonder Buff ended up with substance abuse issues if this was all part of his upbringing.

Some might say that's harsh, but it's really challenging to find anything likeable about Steve throughout the entire doc. He just comes across as someone who caused issues for the sake of it. Clearly, there was love in the family too, but...well, brace yourselves for this next story.
