"Earthquake" John Tenta passes away

[King Kamala]

That's a quote from one of the WWF World Tour tapes uttered by Tenta.

 

 

 

Here's another great Tenta quote I just remembered

 

 

 

I'M NOT A SHARK DAMMIT! I'M A MAN.....and my name is John Tenta!

[Jericholic82]

just found out by checking wrestlecrap. havent been online in 3 days so I had no idea. Thats sad to hear. I had been pulling for him. His brave fight agaisnt cancer was really inspiring yknow.

 

 

as a kid I first was afraid of him and what he could do to my favorites, but I remember being pumped when the Disasters turned face as I just knew they would destroy Money Inc.

 

I too vividly remember the sumo match on raw, as well as WM 10 when it was so shocking to see the previously unchallenged Adam Bomb go down like that.

 

I also enjoyed the wcw feud vs Rogers when he claimed he was a man not a fish. I felt so bad when half his head got shaved. That silver dolars on a pole match vs rogers at Bash At The Beach has always been a favorite guilty pleasure of mine. and it was cool to see his comeback in the wwf as Golga, even with the silly gimmick, they got it over. And it was awesome at the gimmick battle royal to hear that music one more time and The Quake walk that aisle.

 

He will be missed

 

condolences to the Tenta family

 

Maybe now He'll finally get his rematch with Yoko in the great arena in the sky

 

RIP John
