DETAILS ON PREMIERE EPISODE OF 'WHO KILLED WCW?', CHICAGO BEARS LOOK AT MONGO MCMICHAEL'S WCW RUN, GEORGE SOUTH AND MORE

Vice TV will premiere Who Killed WCW? on Tuesday 6/4 at 10 PM Eastern.  Promotional material for the first episode notes, "Through a series of unlikely events, brash young salesman Eric Bischoff lands control of WCW and aligns with star Hulk Hogan to create a '90s pop culture phenomenon."  The Rock, Bischoff, Kevin Nash, Bill Goldberg, former WWE President Stuart Snyder (who presided over the sale) and Bret Hart are among those who have been interviewed for the series.

On his LinkedIn account, Snyder commented, "Excited to share that one of my most interesting endeavors during my time with WWF is finally airing! The acquisition of WCW was one of the more exciting and surreal milestones of my career. In my humble opinion, it made sense for both Turner and WWF and I feel the same today reflecting back on that time. Recently, I sat for an interview and can't wait to see this documentary and how they tell the story. Stay tuned!"

Vice will also be releasing "extended" versions of old Dark Side of the Ring episodes in the weeks to come.
