On June 11, 2005, Samoa Joe and Necro Butcher stepped into the ECW Arena for a brutal clash between two worlds of professional wrestling. Joe represented hard-hitting, world-class wrestling, while Necro brought the chaos of deathmatch culture — and after online rumors, backstage tensions, and a violent run-in with Joe’s students, their match became one of the most infamous fights in indie wrestling history.
About Dark Side of the Ring:
Professional wrestling is the only sport whose stars live in two worlds, balancing their in-ring characters with real life. Dark Side of the Ring examines the complex intersections of fantasy and reality while uncovering wrestling's dark, untold history. Season 7 goes deeper than ever with a three-part odyssey into TNA through the eyes of Jeff Jarrett, in-depth profiles of classic stars Paul Orndorff and Big Boss Man, and a gripping breakdown of the violent clash between Samoa Joe and Necro Butcher.
