The Benoit family edition of the Dark Side of the Ring documentary series delivered 320,000 viewers for Vice on Tuesday, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. The “After Dark” post show delivered 127,000 viewers.
Powell’s POV: That’s a new viewership high for the actual series. “The Last of the Von Erichs” episode delivered the season one high mark with 234,000 viewers. New episodes air Tuesday nights at 9CT/10ET on Vice TV. Check out my interview with the show’s producers Evan Husney and Jason Eisner on this week’s Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast.
I think someone needs to sit David Benoit down and tell him he needs to rethink things. I know Chris is his father, but David needs to realize that honoring his father is a bad idea. And if i’m a promoter, there is ZERO chance I would book him (he plans to wrestle as Chris Benoit Jr., wear the same style of tights as his father, and wants to use his father’s music. No way would I want my promotion associated with someone honoring a murderer).
