Dark Side of the Ring: Unheard - "Tony Atlas" - [Podcast - Episode 9]

From our very first interview, we revisit Mr. USA Tony Atlas' reflections on growing up poor, trying to control his rage, and additional traumatic memories of the killing of Bruiser Brody.
From the creators of the hit VICE TV show "Dark Side of the Ring" and the co-hosts of The Lapsed Fan wrestling podcast, this is "Dark Side of the Ring: Unheard." This podcast dives into the show’s deep reservoir of unaired interviews with pro wrestling’s most famous and infamous, its least and most heralded, its most honest and of course, its most duplicitous.

I've been hooked on Dark Side of the Ring since the very 1st episode!! Such a great show. Everything about it. From the story telling to the old school pics & videos, plus the way it's shot. So amazing! Thank you guys.

Jason and Evan!!! Salute them for sticking together. Love it.

[@thecatwrangler9448]

Thanks guys for making the podcast and an even bigger thank you for doing some topics that aren’t full episodes of Dark Side.

I saw an interesting match recently Hogan v Atlas from MSG early 80s when Hogan was in for a short run. Atlas took the leg drop, that would later be the end of Hogan matches, and came back to win

[@overafpod7605]

These podcast episodes are great

[@ryfreedman]

Excellent channel!

[@breathingtrees8334]

There better be a mention of Tony having a fondness for being beaten up by women. Integral to the story!

[@Dr.Meth666]

I do too .don't kink shame us!!!!😂

[@wingerding]

Better than the other way around I suppose!

[@angelaleaga718]

What are you talking about. I have heard Tony tell this story many times and it has never changed. You are dead wrong.

[@wingerding]

Maybe not enough times

[@acedibiase7038]

If you remember when Tony was on mtv true life he had a "shoot" fight with a female wrestler and he made extra sure to tell her to really lay em in lol. It all makes sense now

[@EyeOfTheWatcher]

It sure does that man was getting his rocks off in the ring with that woman was hitting him.

[@mr.wonderful2580]

21 minutes in and still nothing from Atlas.......Do I need the backstory on putting this together?

[@wingerding]

That's what this show I dude. Only you can answer that question.

[@michaelrubin9547]

A lot of the wrestlers didn't get along backstage

[@wingerding]

That's what happens when you put a whole bunch of alpha males in the same room together.

[@machoman9283]

Did that fucking cat come around?
If you know you know!

[@theschwiftyone9843]

Shame Austin wouldn't be involved. Is pretty sad.

[@wingerding]

Who?

[@handsomeblackman255]

Again?!?!?

[@RomeGoLARGE]

They gotta cover me on dark side of the ring

[@geraldtraveller9804]

tony atlas also didt boxing judo and wrestling besides bodybuilding powerlifting

[@Krimsonking1998]

I’ll never have any respect for Tony Atlas or Rocky Johnson bc they obviously hated being black and both have stated that they don’t care for black women . But it’s their preferences and I can respect it but I don’t have to like it

[@mcdonoghrahloh459]

😂

[@atfmedia9540]

Tony Atlas telling the story about Bruiser Brody's death reminds me of Eric Cartman telling the story about how he created the fish sticks joke. Each time it's more ridiculously self-serving. Brody was amazed at Tony's drawings; Brody died with the photo he showed Tony in his hand; Tony carried him to the ambulance; Tony sang to him in the ambulance; Tony forced doctors to treat Brody. Interview him again and see if Tony says he fought 100 people at once and then punched a nuclear missile on the way to the hospital.

[@ThunderJuice]

You can't say he's lying though. Every time he's told it, the details never change.

[@KlokLogic]

The story is the same every time therefore he's not lying.

[@mangamegs]

Why are you mad?
