Every episode this season and last have been excellent.  My only complaint is that they need an editor to fact check because they have some mistakes in almost every episode.

The Road Warrior one was the best episode, but they are all good.

The Dr. D David Shultz episode was great. Saw him twice live as a little kid, he was huge and scared the shit outta me haha.

I enjoy this series.  These guys are redlining there bodies 365. Traveling, training, matches, steriods, booze, painkillers, other rec drugs. I give props to Ultimate Warrior to be able to maintain his physique/lean condition year round. One wrestler was saying the only thing that Ultimate Warrior are was chicken breast, tuna, bananas, egg whites,  and bagels.

But being that lean for so long and year round was another reason why he died so early. Other than steroids and the occasional drink, he didn't do rec drugs or party like the others.

They're all on steroids year round,  his problem was he continued to do them after he retired. One thing that's surprising is that he really never got injured, being that lean and muscular and taking all the bumps all those years I think the only thing he tore was a bicep.

btw- next week they are doing a episode on the Owen Hart tragedy which is unbelievable because nobody has ever spoken on that before

Also, I don't know if you all know but Owen Hart used to be king of the ribs...

I mean I more esoteric event in pro wrestling they couldn't cover

Great series. Thanks for reminding me to keep watching. I left off right before all these came out.
