Owen Hart Episode Lands Biggest ‘Dark Side of the Ring’ Audience

| Posted on |

The season two finale of Dark Side of the Ring, an episode detailing Owen Hart’s tragic death at Over The Edge in 1999, landed the biggest audience yet for the popular VICE docuseries. According to Showbuzz Daily, the episode landed 349,000 viewers. Only once before, out of 15 nights, had more than 300,000 viewers tunes in (season two premiere, Chris Benoit two-part episode).

Considering that VICE isn’t available in every home and its relatively late start time (10 p.m. ET), that’s a big number. The Owen Hart episode (titled “The Final Days of Owen Hart”) prompted a major social media response. “Dark Side of the Ring” was trending on Twitter during and after airing, with plenty heaping praise on VICE and the episode itself.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I can’t wait for what’s in store for season three.
