Dark Side of the Ring Season 4 E05 Trailer Spotlights The Junkyard Dog

Here's a look at the trailer for Vice TV and Evan Husney & Jason Eisener's Dark Side of the Ring Season 4 Episode 5 "The Junkyard Dog."

After detailing the shocking story of Matt Borne, aka Doink the Clown, during this week's episode, Vice TV and Evan Husney & Jason Eisener's Dark Side of the Ring is back next week with a profile of one of our favorite professional wrestlers when I was growing up – The Junkyard Dog, or JYD. In the following trailer for the episode bearing his name, we get a look at just how over JYD was during the height of his career – and how his personal demons and a wrestling industry that never appreciated the depths of his potential held him back from further heights.
