Dark Side of the Ring co-director Evan Husney says a Heroes of Wrestling episode came close to happening before falling apart. Speaking to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Husney said the 1999 pay-per-view is one of the most requested topics the show gets.
“I’ll say about Heroes of Wrestling, because that’s another one that always comes up. I’ll say that we were like that close to doing it, I think last year we were going to do it and we had like everybody lined up and just like the sort of linchpin character fell through.”
Husney said he did not want to move ahead without the right pieces in place, but that people who worked on the show had stories to tell.
“I don’t feel like rolling the dice that it’s gonna be what it should be. But we had some people who had worked behind the scenes on the show who had wild stories. Never say never, though; it could rear its head around at another time.”
“But that one we were very close on, and it was too bad because that would be a good one. But obviously it does make a lot of people not look very good too at the same time.”
Heroes of Wrestling took place in October 1999 and was main evented by Jim Neidhart and King Kong Bundy against Jake Roberts and Yokozuna.
