We haven't heard much on this, but apparently there were WOW - Women of Wrestling tryouts in Los Angeles today so they are casting new performers for future episodes of the weekly, syndicated series.
Dark Side of the Ring, as we have noted, have been filming for the fourth season for Vice TV. Thus far, we have heard the following as subjects for a new season:
-Abdullah the Butcher
-Mike Awesome
-Bam Bam Bigelow
Mick Foley, Jim Cornette, Terry Funk and Hacksaw Duggan are among those who have been interviewed for the season. There is no word when it may air. With Duggan being interviewed, we've been asked if they are doing an episode on the Duggan-Iron Sheik arrest in the late 1980s that shattered kayfabe, and it fits with the tone of the show, but we haven't heard that to be the case.
The following press release was issued regarding a new Chyna documentary debuting this month on REELZ. The cable network was working on twelve one-hour documentaries on professional wrestling personalities last year. The official release reads:
NEW REELZ DOCUMENTARY, “CHYNA: WRESTLING WITH DEMONS,” ARRIVES IN FEBRUARY
DALLAS, TX – Reelz documentary about legendary wrestler, “Chyna,” premieres February 5, 2023.
Chyna: Wrestling with Demons premieres on Sunday, February 5 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT.
Dubbed “The Ninth Wonder of the World” by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), Joanie Laurer, aka Chyna, enjoyed a groundbreaking career until her controversial exit from the organization in 2001. From the moment she exploded onto the wrestling scene in 1997, Chyna was a pioneer. For the first time in her life she felt accepted, beautiful and loved. But Chyna would arguably become more famous for her manic behavior, substance abuse and her untimely death than for the four short years she performed on wrestling’s biggest stage.
“Chyna: Wrestling with Demons” is the story of a woman with an insatiable hunger to stay relevant and loved – even by strangers. Hear about the battles that made her a survivor, as well as the heart-wrenching struggles that hastened her final day, stunning fans and raising questions about her life and career.
Sharing their personal stories of Chyna are friends and colleagues including Tammy “Sunny” Sytch, Jade Cargill, Dr. Drew Pinsky and Diamond Dallas Page.
