Heartwarming / Dark Side of the Ring

• "The Last of the Von Erichs" ends with Kevin peaceful and surrounded by his adoring family at his home in Hawaii, proclaiming that the fame and titles he'd enjoyed are nothing compared to the true riches of love, family, and companionship.
  • In the same episode, a grieving and suicidal Kevin attempts to steal a rifle from a local gun store, intending to either die in prison or simply be killed in the attempt. Instead, the store's owner (who, like most Texans, would have been well aware of Kevin's trauma) simply tells him that he loves him, which affects Kevin so strongly that he returns the gun and accepts the kindness and support of the owner and patrons, an act that ultimately pulls him out of his dark nadir. It's clear that, decades later, Kevin is still deeply moved by the action, and admits that "I needed that... It saved me."
• The reunion of Jake "The Snake" Roberts and The Ultimate Warrior at the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame. While the former was understandably not happy to see him, the latter gave a genuine and earnest apology to him, mending their long-standing rivalry.
• In the Marty Jannetty episode, at one of his lowest points, he was determined to take his own life via a cocaine overdose and asked God if He wanted him to have a way out, then that was the time. As if on cue, right before he could, Shawn Michaels called him out of the blue to invite him on a spiritual retreat where he was baptized. Through all the hardships that he had endured and the probable embellishments Marty made throughout the episode, you can tell how much that meant to him, then and now. Furthermore, while his one friend keeps trying to blame many of his issues on Shawn, when the interviewer asks him how he feels about his former tag team partner, he replies that he loves him.
• The relationship between Brian Pillman's older sister Linda and his children, with her able to provide a roof over their heads and the love and support they deserve. Brittany even wishes that she were her mother.
• David Benoit and his aunt Sandra were kept apart for years, having both been told separately (and untruthfully) that the other relative did not want to see them, and blamed them for Chris Benoit's actions. It's revealed that Chris Jericho recognized that they were not only each other's remaining family, but the only people who could understand what the other was going through, and gave them both the other's number in case they wanted to start a relationship again. The episode ends with David and Sandra reuniting and hanging out as family.
