Pro-wrestling tends to blur the line between what's real and fake and the story of wrestler Bruiser Brody is a bit more complicated because of that. His death also shines a spotlight on the dark side of wrestling, or “Dark Side of the Ring” according to Viceland. Which also happens to be the title of a documentary we used as a main source for this episode :)
