What horrible things did Earthquake do? Guessing a main reason for this one was probably to talk about the Koji Kitao incident. Pretty sure everyone respected Quake for standing up to himself, and Kitao was the one who looked like a horse’s ass afterwards.

Harley got into a rough car accident that cost him the life of his wife and his child. Also I’m pretty sure he accidentally ran down someone in a motorboat while drunk on a lake. Also I could see them touching on the fact he had to drive around Happy Humphrey and literally hose him down after matches.

I’m sad that Earthquake is included.
I hope they take the approach of “this was a good guy who, after he was deemed no longer a big heel draw, was chewed up and spit out by the wrestling industry before dying tragically, and he didn’t deserve that.”
My personal favorites aside as a fan, as someone who regularly interacted with him via the old Wrestlecrap forums, I feel comfortable saying John was a genuinely good guy who sincerely appreciated his fans. He absolutely does not deserve any kind of a hit piece, and such a thing runs a risk of turning me against the series.

RD Reynolds confirmed he's been interviewed for the Earthquake episode and is hoping it's a respectful tribute.

Dark Side Season 6 will now be a 9-part series on Vince McMahon with one flavor episode about the dark times of Headbanger Mosh.

Tenta's son is on Reddit alot again of late; he and Quake's immediate family were interviewed and he's "optimistic (we’ll) all enjoy the episode dedicated to the big man".

There's a lot to talk about Terry Gordy. The Freebirds, The Miracle Violence Connection, his overdose where he had to relearn how to walk, talk and eat.

Whenever someone who gets brought up a lot (i.e. Teddy Hart, Sunny, Eddie Gilbert, Mike Awesome, etc.) doesn't get an episode, it always gives me hope that there will be more seasons after the next!

Earthquake is the season premiere Are they running out of ideas? Quake's death is tragic, but really had nothing to do with the business.

Earthquake is the season premiere I mean its tragic he died at 42, but this seems like a weird pull for this show... Quake was the man though.

I'm assuming there's going to be a lot of talk about the Kitao situation and kind of the ups and downs of his career post that big initial WWF run. And there is still a lot to talk about when it comes to his battle with cancer, so I can at least get their intent here. Less dark side and more depressing side.

I guess the two things they will touch on will be Kitao shooting on him and the fact that he did kinda get thrown aside when he was no longer valuable as a monster heel.

His struggles in Japan as a sumo probably gets brought up and then the absurdity of undergoing like 12 hours of tattoo work done to cover up his Tiger tattoo with a Shark and then a few months later he wasn’t even a shark anymore.

I'm still shocked Earthquake isn't in the hall of fame yet. He was a fondly remembered character during his time both in his first and second stints with the company.
