Vince probably lied through his teeth on that Larry King show but I think Bruno looked awfully bad in that interview. It's obvious he had a lot of bitterness towards Vince and I'm sure it had much less to do with sexual accusations and steroids than his son not succeeding under Vince's leadership. I just got to 25 minutes in and even Vince himself notes his firing of David and Bruno never forgiving him. Vince really owned Bruno in that one even though he himself didn't look too great.

Buck Zumhoffe The ring boy scandal in the 80s
I would watch both of these.

Dynamite Kid, possibly? There’s certainly been worse characters in wrestling but he wasn’t exactly a decent human being. His rags to riches to rags story would be quite compelling.

This has probably already been mentioned so forgive me, but they absolutely should do one on Brian Pillman. He had such a wild and also tragic life. So much, that I think a two parter would be appropriate to cover it all.
Side note, I highly recommend the book on him called "Crazy Like a Fox."

The British Bulldogs I think would make for a pretty wild story.
-Dynamite's undoubted talent but dangerously psychotic bullying tendancies and the dangerous shit he pulled on other people.
-Bret's account of Summerslam '92 and having to guide Davey through the match after Bulldog spent the previous night smoking crack with Neidhart.
-Roids, roids and more roids.
-Dymanite's paraylysis
-Davey's back injury in WCW that led to the return of WWF Bulldog (in jeans!)
-Diana's crazy libellous book
Just so much content there and more that I have undoubtedly forgotten.

Also, and I'm clutching at straws a bit - but Scott Steiner's path from the Stenier Brothers' success, to deflated roidy meat balloon, via the WCW Championship and everyone he has pissed off inbetween, might be quite interesting.

Allegedly, they injected roids in her as well and physically abused her. - The Jacques Rougeau roll of quarters incident - Epilogue: Benoit spending an entire career trying to be Dynamite Kid, ultimately leading to what happened there.

Yeah I nearly wrote the Benoit thing myself but wasn't sure how relevant it would be, I knew he was influenced by Billington in-ring but he is not the choice of role model for anyone, even back then. And holy shit - the Matilda abuse is horrifying.

How about the final years of Andre the Giant? We all remember him fondly of course, but those late years of his life when he was in constant pain and by all account drinking no less for it sound about fit. Alternatively, you could explore Andre’s less than pleasant side a bit. 1992 in particular. He was still working days before his death, albeit as a special attraction who just stood there.

It would be quite meta if they did one on Beyond the Mat.

I think 30 for 30 did an Andre show last year but even so there is no shortage of Andre stories or material despite him passing nearly 30 years ago. As someone on the opposite height spectrum (short) I truly emphasize with whatever Andre felt he was going through and have often coped using alcohol myself as a getaway from the issues related to my height. I also wish I could just get away to a far off type of land he lived in at his North Carolina home.

Plus pulling a gun on his wife and being forced to move back to England.

They may likely just do Dynamite Kid since people likely don't know much about him besides people having been mentioned by the series that Benoit was inspired by him and what a mistake it might have been for his career. Davey Boy Smith will probably get his own episode, or they'll combine the two, but certainly it is a topic worth exploring.

Didn't Jake Roberts bury the film during the promotion of Heroes of Wrestling because they showed him smoking crack, or am I piecing history together with sugar packets?

It's possible he spoke ill of it but not sure he talked about specifics: Beyond the Mat had it's LA premiere less than two weeks after the Heroes ppv (though BTM wouldn't see a wider release for another half-year), so most wouldn't know what he was talking about yet.

Is there enough about Juvi for a full episode?
Just because the re-enactment of dude in an Australian Hotel, rolling face on ecstasy, running around naked and screaming "I! AM! GOD!!!!" in Hacksaw's Wife's face would be a thing to behold...
