Series co-creator Evan Husney said he and partner Jason Eisener took on Warrior\u2019s story after fans overwhelmingly pushed for a more \u201ctrue\u201d documentary on him. WWE has released separate DVDs highlighting both sides of Warrior and is collaborating with A&amp;E on one that will air later this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have these two extremes, WWE\u2019s former docs and all this vitriol and then you have the other one where now we\u2019re kind of lionizing him,\u201d Husney said. \u201cIt\u2019s two different extremes. We just kind of wanted to bring it all back and say let\u2019s just talk about the person and can we try to understand this person because largely he\u2019s one of the more misunderstood and enigmatic personalities wrestling has even seen,\u201d Husney said.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The former WWF (now WWE) champion had a meteoric five-year run in the company. That stretch peaked with him defeating Hulk Hogan for the belt at WrestleMania VI in 1990 and came crashing down after he threatened to no-show SummerSlam 1991 if Vince McMahon didn\u2019t play him the $500,000 he believed was due to him from a WrestleMania VII payoff. Warrior\u2019s first run with the company ended not long after. He had a short second WWF stint in 1996 and spent six months in WCW in 1998.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DARK SIDE OF THE RING (Season 3 Trailer)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-M0P82sj8H8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Warrior was one of the WWF\u2019s most larger-than-life and invincible-feeling characters of his era. But \u201cDark Side of the Ring\u201d will give fans a different picture of the man behind the facepaint after a conversation with Warrior\u2019s first wife, Shari Tyree. She revealed Warrior dealt with extreme anxiety and talked about how that played a role in his relationships with people at the company and some of the decisions he made. Eisener said as a lifelong fan of Warrior that it grounded the man. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI grew up with all his action figures and just saw him to be this very confident, crazy, over-the-top character, but to hear he had a lot of anxiety and he would be so nervous before matches, that stuff I could relate to it in a way,\u201d Eisener said. \u201cI get it. Especially going into public places and speaking in front of big crowds, I get huge anxiety about that kind of stuff. So I can\u2019t imagine going into something like WrestleMania and you\u2019re someone who suffers from extreme anxiety.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Warrior mended his broken relationship with WWE and many of his former colleagues, including Hogan, when he went into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 5, 2014. After a WrestleMania weekend of closure and good feeling, Warrior died on April 8, 2014 of cardiovascular disease at 54. Husney said he learned while filming the episode that heart disease ran in Warrior\u2019s family and that all the men on his side died in their 50s. Tyree told him and Eisener the reality of that was something Warrior was absolutely aware of all the time and felt his time may be limited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you think about the quick rise and ruthlessness and cutthroat business tactics, all that he tried to manipulate his way to the top it makes you think, and his reconciliation moments before he dies makes you wonder if he\u2019s all trying to get it in before his life ends short,\u201d Husney said. \u201cThat to me was like, whoa that puts it in a different perspective.\u201d\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
