Summary

Solomonster reviews the Dark Side of the Ring episode on "The Double Life of Chris Kanyon", the sad story of a man who loved pro wrestling and was quite good at it, but severe mental health issues, along with his struggles to keep his sexuality a secret, made life hell for him and eventually led to his early demise. He also discusses the Mortis character in WCW that almost made its way to WWE television... the infamous Boy George segment with The Undertaker on Smackdown... the comments John Cena and Ric Flair made about him on The Howard Stern Show... his letter to Stephanie McMahon in 2006 and lots of other details not included in the episode.
