Dark Side of the Ring (TV Series) The Ultra-Violence of Nick Gage (2021) User Reviews

Ignore the drones, it is good, Gage is good and interesting

The people rating this 1 presumably gave New Jack a 10, Gage is a very good wrestler and performer, anyone who thinks deathmatches are not good hasn't watched them, it's fine to not like them and it to not be your thing but they are art as much as any wrestling match.

What you're seeing is WWE fans who are so blindly indoctrinated into 1 boring style so they can't open their minds to other wrestling such as Nick Gage's. Also you already have proof that they didn't watch or know what they're talking about as even if you don't like his wrestling, he's very obviously an interesting subject. You're a sports entertainment fan if you only watch WWE and do the industry no favours.

Mdk all f'n day

This was the best episode of the first half of season 3, I'm looking forward to xpw and fmw episodes which r yet to air.

Great series however some topics have been covered to death already no pun intended . The nick gage story is somewhat of modern folk legend, he's the biggest star u have never heard of. The only downside to this episode is Zandig couldn't be there to tell his experience witch Nicky . Other than that this episode got everything , addiction , blood, death, resurrection, crime , prison , tmz and more. I hope this episode leads to gage gettin more opportunities in wwe or rival promotion aew.

Not worthy of a minute on television

Boring, annoying and a talentless wrestler... What he does is not an art... I love the show but this episode was a waste of time. Every other episode is 7 to 10 stars (imo)...

Nothing but a filler episode which shouldn't have been made. This will only be enjoyed by morons who don't understand the psychology and story telling of wrestling... Ultra violence for the sake of it is NOT wrestling... What this idiot does is nothing like ecw or mick Foley...

How people think this will open opportunities for him at wwe and aew is laughable...

Garbage wrestling no matter how you look at it

Not the best episode. John Moxley glorifies this potato head as some "Jesus of wrestling" when in fact he is an insult to the industry. Ultra violence in wrestling holds no place. There needs to be story and talent to draw the attention of the audience. But hey, if jamming light tubes into your head is classified as talent then this episode is for toy.

One positive out of this episode is the viewer is very unlikely to take drugs after seeing these idiots "perform".

Insulting

I've been a wrestling fan since I was about 11 years old. I've seen all kinds of wrestling, from old school wrasslin', lucha libre, sports entertainment, hardcore, modern wrestling... from all kinds of promotions in bingo halls in Japan to worldwide promotions with big budgets. I've also seen a few death matches and I'm very aware of this subculture. Let's get a few things straight. This is not wrestling. Nick Gage is not a wrestler. He's part of the death match culture, a culture that's a breeding ground for psychopaths. A breeding ground for people that do not care about life, neither their own or others. Nick Gage is one such person. If you want to make a documentary into this subculture and make the public aware of it's existance and it's dangers than I'm all for that. That's not what this is though. This episode of an otherwise amazing wrestling documentary series is not about wrestling, it's about glorifying an underground culture that should not exist and a man that is a danger to himself and others and at the very least needs serious psychiatric help.
