VICE TV’s acclaimed docuseries Dark Side of the Ring is set to return with a powerful new episode focusing on one of pro wrestling’s most influential yet controversial figures — “Superstar” Billy Graham.
A new sneak peek below from the upcoming Season 6 episode gives fans an emotional look at Graham’s health struggles, including a harrowing moment when his heart temporarily stopped. The episode will feature interviews with Graham’s wife Valerie Coleman and his daughter, offering candid insight into his battles with drug dependency and chronic pain.
The official synopsis reads:
“Often imitated, never duplicated, Superstar Billy Graham broke the mold for what a wrestler could be, but steroid abuse and battles with the McMahons kept Graham from the spotlight.”
A trailblazer who redefined the look and charisma of professional wrestling long before the rise of Hulk Hogan and Jesse Ventura, Graham’s legacy is as impactful as it is complicated. The episode is expected to chronicle his highs as a WWE Champion and cultural icon, alongside his very public clashes with the industry and personal health deterioration.
The episode airs Tuesday, April 22 at 10 p.m. EST exclusively on VICE TV.
