    Marty is that guy who chain smokes cigarettes for 30 years, does packs a day for decades, and somehow doesn't get lung cancer. The fact that he has not OD'd on the drugs he has used and or died from dumb stunts he has done is a shock to all mankind. I'll be totally honest and say that when I heard about the Dark Side episode my first thought was whether or not Marty was still alive. How that man is still alive I will never know, God bless Marty.

    Dark Side of the Ring has basically just become a biography show for drug addict wrestlers. It is crazy how badly addiction hits these guys. Sunny for example was a med student when she started in wrestling. She'd probably be a doctor today if she never met Candido. And the drugs got her so bad she was blowing guys at ECW just to get free somas, she made a porno and she killed a guy. Marty Janetty wasn't as good as Shawn but he was very good. One of the best workers in the company at that time. He could have had a great career but drugs. Bam Bam also drugs. And those are just the ones who become addicts and it negatively affects their career. There are guys like Kurt and Shawn that were just as bad as those guys only they kept their jobs.

    Of the guys using drugs, Shawn quit once he found religion. I can't say if Angle quit or not. Bret Hart talks about the doctors in his book who had a line of wrestlers who passed out stuff. He admitted to taking some. It all stopped once the Feds came in. Some of the guys like Bret stopped, but as we many didn't and we lost a lot of because of drugs. Sunny always denied she was taking any, even when she was caught. I remember reading about her and Chris being caught after they left WWE. Then Chris died. Sunny apparently kept using and denying it.

    Sunny let that fame go to her head, add that on top of being the very definition of a narcissist and you get a train wreck... Sunny couldn't stand the thought of Sable and other women coming in and taking off and she thought banging top talent would hold her spot🤷🤷 The justice system failed by letting her off the hook time after time and she ended up killing someone... She seems toxic and Marty seems to always say nothing happened between him and Sunny and I wonder if that's out of respect or he just doesn't want to claim that one🤷🤷😂😂

    If they do another season they really need to do Jim Cornette vs Vince Russo. Just interview both in separate interviews, asking the same questions, chronicling their entire professional relationship. Another fun episode would be the Jim Herd years of WCW and how badly he damaged WCW's product back then. I don't know if there is enough material for an episode but the scissors incident between Sid and Arn Anderson would be interesting. If they want to go with a couple of more recent happenings they could do CM Punk vs the EVPs or the NDA scandal with Vince McMahon. Another great episode idea would be on Hulk Hogan and his backstage politics through out his career. Maybe an episode about the rash of early deaths in late 90s... Crash Holly, Louie Spicolli, Hawk, Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude, etc.

    @stewartmcrae8007 I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska in the 80's, born in 80... So the adults were able to watch Vern's Minnesota territory on Saturdays when they were younger and Omaha had some talent. Mad Dog, Luna, Doug The Pro, Mantar lol rip, Million Dollar Man... etc... but I never seen or knew anything about territories... I was the prime age of watching WWF in 86-93 from age 6-13 and then later... but I knew at very young it was Kayfabe, just like I knew cartoons and comics were fake... I still thought they were kinda mad at each other, and I still loved Baby Faces and HATED Honky Tonk Man, Sargent Slaughter, and Boss Man... Listening about the southern territories makes me jealous... Those crowds and events looked super fun... I couldn't image a kid or guy fan who wasn't smart to the business because of how territories operated then watching WWF in 1989, going "what the hell is going on!!!" Me and my brothers ONLY knew 80's WWF... what a change in a show from 1979-1989... Man... If only a few of those territories held on into the late 80's, when WWF popped and then could still sell tickets... Crazy how the decline of the show started going downhill in the mid 2000's -2010 when the territory guys were all getting out of the business. Developmental isn't near the same as a Territory... its all rookies... Old territories would throw a guy in after training for 6 months in a show with Ric, Steamboat, Arn, Sting, Wayne Ferris, Jerry etc all on the same card... And they helped each other out! Mainly to have a driving buddy or to mutually help find work in other territories in the future.

    Marty Jannetty almost got his ass kicked by Ray Stevens. Marty was in San Jose, CA in the early 90s for a WWF show and all but threatened Ray Stevens (who was in his mid 50s) in the locker room. Apparently, Ray was working as an agent at the time, and he questioned Marty who was half asleep on being too f*cked up to wrestle. I guess Marty didn't like it and got in Ray's face, so Stevens ended up going to Vince McMahon to let him know he was going to knock Marty out in self-defense if necessary. Ray didn't want to get in trouble with Vince if something bad happened, and Vince told him to do what he had to do. Marty wisely calmed down.

    It was attention. Any kind of attention. From anybody. For any reason. Good enough for Party-Marty.

    One of my favorite things recently is listening to Jim's response to the dark side of the ring episodes.

    8:45 Jim actually forgot about The Southern Rockers aka WWF's Well Dunn(Rex King and Steve Doll)

    Marty’s new podcast was supposed to start and discuss the episode, The livestream looks to be cancelled now. Guess ole party Marty still can’t get it together. Lol. His Facebook is a blast to follow! If you’re interested he did HOURS of footage with Boston wrestling, Dan Mirade. It’s on KZread. Was supposed to continue but Dan passed away.

    Missy Beefcake is Brutus' business manager/handler not a manager in the wrestling sense. They have been married since 2013.

    I love this channel! I’m a huge fan of old school wrestling, can care less about the new school. But I’m so happy to hear all the behind the scene stories about the superstars.

    Marty isnt a pathological liar. He has that comedian trait of making up crazy bits for their entertainment and wanting people to play along for his entertainment

    Exactly. And he’s a product of the 80s wrestling business. Working is engrained him.
