Ahead of its premiere on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, Dark Side of the Ring released a teaser for its first episode, titled “Mick Foley: Hell in a Cell,” which focuses on WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley.
Within the teaser video for the primary episode of season 6, Mick Foley talks in regards to the brutal injuries and concussions he has suffered following his daredevilry contained in the squared circle, one in every of which he’s paying for now. Foley reveals within the teaser that a neurologist he consulted advised him to never step foot in a wrestling ring again because of the severity of his injuries. Al Snow, who shared the ring with Foley during their time in WWE, also featured within the trailer for the episode, stated that Foley is “paying the worth” for pushing his body to the bounds within the ring.
The years of brutal punishment Mick Foley endured within the ring have taken a serious toll, with the long-term effects of those injuries still impacting his each day life.

The episode primarily focuses on the infamous Hell in a Cell match between Foley and WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker, held on the King of the Ring event in 1998, where Foley fell from the highest of the cell twice. His first fall was onto the announcers table from the highest, while the second happened after he was chokeslammed through the cage and into the ring. The legendary star suffered a concussion that night and has detailed in regards to the pain he was unsurprisingly in following that brutal encounter, claiming that he also suffered some damage to his liver or kidney. Despite his quite a few injuries, Foley planned to have one final match but ultimately scrapped the thought after realizing he had unknowingly suffered one other concussion.
Season 6 of Dark Side of the Ring will probably be a 10-part series that will even feature stories about Big Van Vader, The Original Sheik, Billy Graham, Billy Jack Haynes, Muhammad Hassan, Ludvig Borga, and Daffney, amongst others.
