Dark Side of the Ring Creators Talk WCW Bash at the Beach 2000 Episode

Vice TV's Dark Side of the Ring co-creators Evan Husney & Jason Eisener offer some background & perspective on WCW's Bash at the Beach 2000.

As the fourth season of Vice TV and Evan Husney & Jason Eisener's Dark Side of the Ring inches closer to its season finale, this week finds a break from spotlighting individuals to spotlighting events – and WCW's Bash at the Beach 2000 is definitely an event worthy of an episode. Without giving too much away to those who are new to the story, let's just say that some backstage drama found its way into the squared circle in a very awkward & uncomfortable way. This Tuesday, some of the important players in the incident – Jeff Jarrett, Vince Russo, Eric Bischoff, and more – will offer their perspectives on what led to what Jarrett refers to as "The single biggest black eye in WCW history." But before that goes down, Husney & Eisener offer some backstory & context to the PPV debacle, preview who viewers will be hearing from, and more in the following featurette.
