10 Things We Learned From Dark Side Of The Ring: The Ultimate Warrior
1. His WCW Run Was Also Totally Absent
Finally, where was WCW?
It's so strange that VICE brought Eric Bischoff in as a talking head, but didn't even ask him about Warrior's 1998 run in World Championship Wrestling. There must be some fascinating stories from that time - hell, Bisch has explored some on his own '83 Weeks' podcast before.
Warrior's WCW run, including the ranting promos and that Halloween Havoc '98 disaster opposite Hogan, were ripe for exploration on 'Dark Side Of The Ring'. Then, suddenly, the episode ended with Warrior's final WWE appearances and that was that. Yes, they leapt from 1996-2014 in around five minutes.
That's a bit of a shame, because wrestling fans deserve to know the ins and outs of Warrior's curious (and short-lived) WCW tenure. Again, why have Bischoff there without getting some insight on that period?
