Evan Husney Says Dark Side Of The Ring Almost Did An Episode On Heroes Of Wrestling

Evan Husney says he was close to doing an episode about Heroes of Wrestling.

In October 1999, wrestling fans saw the Heroes of Wrestling pay-per-view, which featured a main event between Jim Neidhart and King Kong Bundy against Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Yokozuna. It was a show filled with controversy, and there aren’t many fans, if any, who remember it fondly.

Speaking with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Evan Husney talked about getting episode requests from fans for Dark Side of the Ring. He then mentioned Heroes of Wrestling being one of the topics that people always request him to work on.

“I’ll say about Heroes of Wrestling, because that’s another one that always comes up. I’ll say that we were like that close to doing it, I think last year we were going to do it and we had like everybody lined up and just like the sort of linchpin character fell through. I don’t feel like rolling the dice that it’s gonna be what it should be. But we had some people who had worked behind the scenes on the show who had wild stories. Never say never though, it could rear its head around at another time. But that one we were very close on and it was too bad because that would be a good one. But obviously it does make a lot of people not look very good too at the same time.”
