VICE TV has released a new trailer and preview for Season 2 Episode 2 of Dark Side of the Ring, focusing on the ECW hardcore legend New Jack. You can view the trailer for “The Life and Crimes of New Jack” in the player below.

The new episode debuts on Tuesday, March 31 at 10:00 pm EST on VICE TV. Here’s a synopsis for Season 2:

This season, DARK SIDE OF THE RING, the most watched show in VICE TV’s history, ventures even deeper into wrestling’s shrouded past, revealing the brutal and often tragic consequences of a life lived in the squared circle. Wrestling icon and former WWE superstar Chris Jericho narrates the series.

Season two dives into a new slate of wrestling stories that include: wrestling superstar Chris Benoit’s double murder suicide that shocked the world; the murder of Dino Bravo; the controversial “Brawl for All” tournament that led to career-ending injuries; the feared career of New Jack; David Schultz’s violent run-in with a 20/20 reporter; the death of Nancy Argentino, Jimmy Snuka’s girlfirend; the inside story of wrestling’s ultimate tag team partnership Hawk and Animal; Herb Abrams’ fanatical attempt to build a wrestling empire; and the devastating story of Owen Hart’s stunt that went tragically wrong.

Much like the Season 2 premiere on Chris Benoit, the next episode will be followed by the weekly after-show hosted by comedian and wrestling fan Chris Gethard. It will feature new unseen clips and behind-the-scenes moments.
