Comments from Jim Ross, The Warlord, Brian Blair, Dave Meltzer and Wade Keller are well-worth hearing on the latest 'Dark Side' episode, but two talking heads stole the show. There's Jerry McDevitt, obviously - his closeness to McMahon and the fact wrestling fans rarely hear a peep from him makes his words essential by default.

Then, there's Phil Mushnick.

The journalist has never kept his distaste for McMahon, WWE or pro wrestling generally quiet. That's the beauty of VICE's work here. They went out of their way to find talking heads from completely opposite sides of the fence, and neither man holds back when discussing Vince, the trial or day-to-day WWF business at the time.

Honestly, some sort of sit-down face-to-face between this pair would be a sight to behold. Will it ever happen? Hell no. That means VICE's doc is the closest people will ever get to such a combustible conversation.
