Vice TV's docuseries "Dark Side of the Ring" is set to return for its seventh season, featuring new episodes that delve into untold stories from the world of professional wrestling. The upcoming season will include episodes focusing on Jeff Jarrett's tenure at TNA, Paul Orndorff, The Big Boss Man, Missy Hyatt, Zach Gowen, The Renegade, and a confrontation between Necro Butcher and Samoa Joe.

"Dark Side of the Ring is one of our strongest franchises that speaks to our audience with its gritty exposition of the real emotional and physical costs behind professional wrestling," said VICE TV President Pete Gaffney. "Wrestling is one of America’s most influential pop culture phenomenons, and this series further explores the blurred lines between wrestling’s spectacle and reality, ultimately uncovering the truths behind the stories fans thought they knew."

The season premiere will consist of two parts, "Jeff Jarrett & the Battle for TNA – Parts 1 and 2," airing on Tuesday, July 7, from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET on Vice TV. This initial three-part exploration of TNA Wrestling will be followed by subsequent episodes airing Tuesday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET.
