    Jeff Jarrett and Dark Side Of The Ring co-creator Evan Husney breakdown the brand-new three-part Dark Side Of The Ring story about TNA Wrestling! They discuss why the TNA story grew from two episodes to three, how they got Jeff Jarrett involved, and what he brought to the production in addition to his emotional story. Jeff reveals what surprised him most after watching the finished series, and the first thing his wife Karen said to him after she binged it. Jeff revisits his infamous WWE exit that ended with Vince McsMahon personally handing him a check before he dropped the Intercontinental Championship, the final days of WCW, launching TNA from scratch with his father, Jerry, bringing in Kurt Angle, and eventually being pushed out of the company. He remembers Bob Carter, and his daughter Dixie’s initial involvement, how he convinced Bob to sign Kurt Angle, and later, Hulk Hogan to TNA, and how Vince Russo came into the mix. Jeff explains what made him return to TNA, and why he truly didn’t want to see Dixie Carter fail. He and Evan also discuss why Dixie chose not to participate in Dark Side Of The Ring, who provided some lost, unseen footage in the ninth hour that saved the day, Scott Steiner's emotional interview, and why there was simply too much TNA history to fit into a single episode.

    Kiske Contemplates Chameleon - The Story Behind Helloween's Most Controversial Album

    Michael Kiske joins Chris Jericho for an in-depth conversation about one of Helloween's most misunderstood albums, 1993's Chameleon. Kiske explains why the band intentionally pushed beyond power metal, how Kai Hansen's departure changed Helloween's chemistry, why Chameleon felt more like three solo albums than a true band record, and how working with producer Tommy Hansen, real horn players, live string sections, and Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood helped shape the album's ambitious sound. He also shares the story behind the lawsuit that sidelined Helloween for two years and the injunction that prevented the band from recording or touring. Kiske explains how those lost years affected drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg and the band's momentum, why the backlash to Chameleon caught him by surprise, and why he believes artists have to take creative risks. He discusses the inspiration behind songs like "When The Sinner," "Longing," and "I Believe," why he was blamed for the album's direction, and the events that ultimately led to his departure from Helloween before returning decades later for one of heavy metal's greatest reunions.   See Helloween on tour! https://www.helloween.org/ 📸 Instagram: @michaelkiskeofficial | @helloweenofficial Talk Is Jericho is available on YouTube! https://www.youtube.csom/ChrisJerichoFozzy Like, Subscribe, and hit the 🔔 to stay updated on new episodes!   More from Talk Is Jericho:📸 Instagram: @chrisjerichofozzy | @talkisjericho🐦 Twitter/X: @IAmJericho | @TalkIsJericho 🎵 TikTok: @chrisjericho 🌐 Website: https://www.webisjericho.com/
