"Vice's", "Dark Side of the Ring" episode 7 from season 5 "Chris Adams: The Gentleman and the Demon" focused on one of the most memorable and tragic wrestlers from the 1980's. I remember as a kid watching on Saturdays the taped telecast of "World Championship Wrestling", and one who caught my eye was Chris Adams his toughness in the ring for beating foes with Gino Hernandez was "Bad to the Bone". This episode highlights those days in the "Dallas" area with ring footage and interviews with David Manning and Kevin Von Erich who tell the highs and lows of Chris. Interviews given from family including Adams's daughter and ex wives are revealing and painful. Chris was skillful in the ring with talent and likeable by fans, but had his own demons outside the ring that being with the bottle as that would be his ultimate downfall. Again for any old classic vintage wrestling fan like myself, this is another must see episode of the excellent series that showcases the highs and lows of many grapplers during their time in and out of the ring!
