Most of us are aware that professional wrestling was staged event from the beginning of it's emergence in media and pop culture. That goes without saying but a series called "dark side of the ring" reveals the shocking degree that the promoters and rasslers were committed to in order to entertain fans. My personal favorite is Randy Savage agreeing to be bitten by a freaking cobra snake in the ring. The snake had allegedly had it's venom glands removed (who would know?) but it's fangs were intact. Randy gave his usual aggressive performance and pissed off the snake and it sank it's fangs into his arm. Randy claims that he had a 103 degree fever but survived.
