In a couple of years, when people who were there are out from under the WWE's thumb and able to speak freely... it would be interesting to hear about what happened with the 2019 Crown Jewel show and travel issues.

Sexy Star and the controversy around the Rosemary incident. Nah, you can't do an hour on an idiot losing her cool and shooting on someone during a match for 30 seconds. She legit broke someone's arm during that, and that's just one of many incidents that she's been involved in.

Well they already talked to f***ing piece of shit Rob Black. What episode was this on? I somehow missed it In the New Jack episode, it was behind the camera because they needed the Vic Grimes footage.

The questions are:
1. Would a general audience find the story engaging?
2. Was it recent enough that there a people with first hand information who would willing to talk about it?

Maybe an episode on in-ring deaths in general?

Most of the stories would have to be from the 80's and 90's generally wrestling's peak periods. Other than the Chris Benoit story what else stands out post those two eras of wrestling.

I can't think of anything that they could do. In the future the Punk situation would be, but right now there is no way they could do an episode on it.

Inoki losing his mind and nearly killing New Japan with his MMA fascination would be interesting

Train wreck of an opening match between The Bushwhackers and Sheik+Volkoff. Halfway decent match between Tully Blanchard and Stan Lane that dragged too long because no one bothered to tell them the ending. Abdullah going into full Abdullah mode despite the show being billed as “family friendly.” Numbnut of a fill in announcer who couldn’t even pronounce names right, let alone call the ring action. Yeah, there’s lots about that show to tell. With the exception of Brawl for All every other episode was mostly about real life tragedies. I don't know how "there was an awful wrestling show" fits in the same show as "Bruiser Brody was stabbed to death in San Juan" The very second episode of the series was about the Montreal Screwjob. The upcoming one after Bravo's is about Dr. D David Schultz, whose most notorious moment was simply slapping someone. This isn't all about deaths.

SmackDown live on Fox WWEs ECW How Hogan is a douchebag Tom Zenk Why Tom Zenk? Not sure how they could stretch it into a full ep but Zenk was pretty much the first worker/ex-worker to utilize the internet to air his grievances, shoot on others, etc. to a large and successful degree (well, "large and successful" for its time). He was sort of the Cyber-Pipe Bomb guy before that was a thing. Others were doing it in shoot videotapes that were traded among collectors and hardcore fans. In the days before Youtube, et.al., Zenk took it to the next level in regards to audience-reach.

Why is Heroes of Wrestling always mentioned as an episode. It's notorious as being one of the biggest trainwreck failures of a promotion, single show and PPV ever. It's where all the videos of Jake Roberts with the snake between his legs and all the drunk "You got 21? I got 22!" stuff comes from. Lots of other stuff went down. Bundy and Neidhart both being a-holes behind the scenes, Gordon Solie backing out at the last minute because he fell ill (and would die months later), etc. You also have Albano pissing everyone off by sucking up to the promoter and burying everybody else.

How about Sid Vicious? If they could get him, we could get the real story behind the squeegee incident, the hotel brawl with Arn, and the whole "softball" deal (Sid denied it in an interview, claiming it was a rib made by Lawler that spiraled out of control).
Also, an ep on the making of Beyond the Mat could work, talk about Blaustein's decision to make the film, the involvement with WWF and ECW (and why WCW turned them down), Roland Alexander, Dennis Stamp (it's a shame he's dead, would have liked to see what he thought about becoming a meme), the footage he didnt use, WWF refusing the advertise it, etc.
