‘Dark Side of The Ring’ Returns For Season 7 – The Highs And Lows of Jeff Jarrett & TNA Kicks Things Off

One of the most riveting, attention-grabbing wrestling series is back for season seven as Dark Side of the Ring returns on Tuesday, July 7, at 9 p.m ET / 6 p.m PT on Vice TV.

Dark Side of the Ring will kick off its season with back-to-back episodes that will feature the highs and lows of Jeff Jarrett and TNA (Total Non-Stop Action) Wrestling. For the first time since its 2019 premiere, the series will devote three episodes to Jarrett and TNA.

Aside from the three episodes on Jarrett and TNA Wrestling, the season will feature Paul Orndorff aka “Mr. Wonderful,” Missy Hatt, Ray Traylor aka “The Big Boss Man, the 2005 match between Samoa Joe and Necro Butcher, Rick Wilson “The Renegade,” and Zach Gowen.

Here are some quotes from Vice TV and from those behind the show.

“Dark Side of the Ring is one of our strongest franchises that speaks to our audience with its gritty exposition of the real emotional and physical costs behind professional wrestling,” said VICE TV President Pete Gaffney. “Wrestling is one of America’s most influential pop culture phenomenons, and this series further explores the blurred lines between wrestling’s spectacle and reality, ultimately uncovering the truths behind the stories fans thought they knew.” 

“Each season, we try to challenge ourselves to go deeper, and season seven is our most ambitious yet,” said Co-Creators and Executive Producers Evan Husney and Jason Eisener. “That’s especially true with our three-part exploration of TNA Wrestling, where Jeff Jarrett’s journey of redemption and resilience gives us a unique lens into the highs, struggles, and lasting impact of the foundational years of the company. It’s a perfect example of how compelling and ultimately human these stories really are.” 

Anticipation for this season will be high, as TNA has seen a boost in visibility since partnering with the WWE. Getting some of the company’s backstory now is ideal. Mr. Wonderful and The Big Boss Man were impactful figures in wrestling during the 80s, so fans of that era will be eagerly awaiting the release of those episodes.

As always, Dark Side of the Ring will keep wrestling fans watching week after week as it tells stories you won’t hear anywhere else. Buckle up. Season seven of Dark Side of the Ring is heading to Vice TV this summer.
