Surprised we still havent gotten a Tony Atlas episode yet. For Earthquake they'll probably focus on the match he had with Koji Kitao that became a shoot, and maybe the racism he suffered in the sumo ranks.

What horrible things did Earthquake do? I think it's more like "Sad Side of the Ring" here. I'd say the stand-off with Koji Kitao and his trials as a sumo, falling from a main eventer to performing under embarrassing gimmicks, maybe him supposedly being furious with Arn Anderson if they're hungry for content and his tragic loss to cancer.
Also - he broke Hulk Hogan's ribs and sat on a snake.

What horrible things did Earthquake do? I don’t think it will really be about him doing anything horrible. It will probably just be about how everyone agrees he was a great guy who unfortunately had a shoot incident in Japan, the WCW Shark fiasco (complete with altered tattoo)and Golga sprinkled around his run with Hogan and the Natural Disasters before dying young.

It just really isn't much of a "Dark Side" if none of the episodes are takedowns of horrible figures.

OK thoughts...
Adams: yes...but can it be better than the Mickey Grant doc? Sherri: Yeah, drugs, plus like with Luna it will probably be an unofficial third chapter to the Moolah story. Expect Nigel Sherrod to pitch fits again as such. Gordy: Yep. Black Sat: Yep, kinda get it. Colt: Looked a little into him, yep. Sandman: if they want to talk about his high/drunk antics, sure. Quake: My WTF? selection. Unless they want to mention his sad death. Harley: Probably some super old school stories, aka "This is wrong because it was a different time" Bagwell: The gigolo career, faking his social media, substances, refusing to job, then the kinda humorous stuff like getting his mom to get WCW to give him his way, the calf implants. Yeah, I get it. Brutus: Hogan nepotism, the parasailing accident, the toll booth cocaine incident...kinda get it too.

What horrible things did Earthquake do? Guessing a main reason for this one was probably to talk about the Koji Kitao incident.

Adams: yes...but can it be better than the Mickey Grant doc? This was pretty much exactly my thought on the Adams episode. Genuinely looking forward to the Chris Colt one though, he's from that sort of lost era of territorial wrestling and the whole story is absolutely bananas.

Speaking of Sandman...I had an idea for a new wrinkle in his gimmick, and one that would have made critics of his entrance happy.
Somebody should have had Sandman come to the ring quicker if they played Enter Sandman at 78 RPM.

Hmmm. Harley Race, who seemed to be highly regarded by most and lived to a ripe old age, doesn't seem to fit the feel of the series here, unless they plan to spend a lot of time on him "selling out" as the King and the abdominal injury that cut off his WWF run.

Yeah, I feel like Harley would've been a better "Tales from the Territories" topic. More stories about him being an absolute bada** are always welcome. I think Earthquake is probably going to be a tad like (but not exactly like, obviously) Kanyon. They will go over his career and then is sad and early ending.

Think they'll discuss his involvement in Secrets of Wrestling Exposed? They'll probably base at least part of it on if/when he said off-color things, which are moreso in today's society. (I am thinking of CM Punk's story about how he described Ultimate Warrior...)
