Late last month, we learned that Evan Husney & Jason Eisener's Dark Side of the Ring would be returning to Vice TV this March – with the trailer for the 10-episode fifth season confirming that the focus will be on Chris Adams, Sensational Sherri, Terry Gordy, "Black Saturday" (that was when Vince McMahon purchased Georgia Championship Wrestling in 1984 in order to get access to the TBS timeslot he had been eyeing), Chris Colt, The Sandman, John "Earthquake" Tenta, Harley Race, Buff Bagwell, and Brutus Beefcake. Thanks to a heads-up via the show's social media, we now know that "Earthquake" will be the subject of the season-opener on March 5th. The logline for the episode reads: "A larger-than-life heel in the ring and a die-hard family man at home, Tenta's passing at just 42 years old was an especially cruel ending for a man so universally beloved."
