FMW could be a whole season. Check out the History of FMW podcast, they cover everything from Onita's life and career before FMW up to present day, going a couple of hours per year, and covering things in extremely good detail. There's a lot of straight-up insanity in the story that Dark Side didn't;t even touch on!

I was kind of surprised that Dark Side didn't even fleetingly mention Dirty Hayabusa.

The Rob Black episode was interesting. I knew the basics of the story but hadn't seen much in the way of footage from his league. Some of that stuff was pretty nuts.

There's a book on XPW that tells most of the story.

XPW was what ECW was accused of being, a bunch of guys who couldn't wrestle worth a shit but were willing to do insane stunts in lieu. I remember reading recaps of their weekly TV show back in the day and just being mystified at how trashy the storylines and characters were, even after Rob Black got out of things.

For like 8 months XPW held no events,But still had the weekly 1 hour show too fill. So the tv show morphed into this trashy crappy soap opera with DM guys and porn stars.

I remember reading about that, too. I laughed my ass off when I heard it described thusly: "Imagine watching porn with the sex scenes cut out, and even worse acting!"

I find myself being in the bizarre situation of being glad that Bell Canada owns something, as this show is financed by them, so the whole third season will get out in Canada, at least.

I'm hoping maybe Hulu steps in in the States and helps out since it's been a popular streaming title there.
