He was a class act and belongs in the WWE Hall of Fame! RIP!
Yes it's long overdue
Definitely a hall of famer
I couldn't agree more. What's wrong with the WWE. Why because he jumped ship too WCW...? How many other guys did the same or they hired from that company. C'mon guys PUT TENTA IN THE HOF...!!!
should have been in ages ago. this man is a fuckin legend
Lol. So many scream this guy should be in the hall, that guy in the hall. The Hall of Fame is no place. It’s not like the pro football HOF or major sports. Like wrestling. It’s make believe. It’s just another show.
John Tenta is my dads cousin (Aka my second cousin), my dad has a doll of him and deeply misses him. May he rest in peace, RIP
Thank you for sharing. In my culture, he would be your uncle. He seemed to be a very gentle soul and I was scared shitless of him as a child lol
I remember around mid 2000s when he was fighting cancer he used to pop in wrestling forum most nights chatting to fans and telling stories.
We went to the same High School... I herd from my teachers how nice of a guy he was... RIP John, gone but never forgotten...
One of the best big guys of all time and such a loss. If he was around nowadays I could quite imagine him making the add appearance at a Royal Rumble or on one of the legends nights.
I got to know John a little bit on the Wrestlecrap Forums. He was a nice man, who was really great with the fans.
This. The ever loving hell out of this.
Same here. He was such a kind guy, and always happy to talk with his fans. He tried to be positive, but also shared exactly what was going on, right up to the end. I still cry thinking what a nice, gentle man he was.
Anyone who got to know Mr. Tenta is probably a better person because of it! That kind of of goodness rubs off on people😊👍
I lived very close to the Harts. I never knew the brothers, they were in WWF by then, but I knew Stu and and some of the daughters. Stu stretched me many times growing up.
Anyway, wrestlers often showed up at the Hart house, and us kids always happened to be playing road hockey or wrestling in front of Stu's house when they did. Tenta was there once, and he was awesome, he played with a bunch of 7yo starstruck kids for like an hour. Four of us wresed him like hell, and he laughed like a child and would push us back and throw us off as we just continued, as kids do. Its a memory I treasure.
We'd bare knuckle box a lot, and stu loved it. He'd sit outside with his tea and giggle as we kicked the shit out of each other for Stu Harts attention.
Best times of my life.
@@stonehorn4641as a lifelong, die hard Hitman fanatic, I LOVE hearing stories like this! 🩷🖤 it's also so lovely to hear from so many fans what a wonderful, kind man Tenta was. May he rest well ❤
John was a gentleman and an all around Badass human!!!! Was honored to help him with his school and be apart of his fundraising shows he put on!!! R.I.P.
great to get more info on Earthquake, was always a huge fan. RIP.
Wow!!! 42 yrs old, which is the exact age I am, and I think man, he did ALOT in those 42 yrs! What a guy! RIP EQ
The one thing I really enjoyed about John's ring work was that for a big man he was fairly quick and athletic. I remember watching a match he had with Tugboat and both of them threw dropkicks on the other. That was rare in the WWF. You never saw big men do those kind of moves. Most big guy matches were slow and plodding, but John could work at a good pace.
Not gonna lie, back when I probably watched wrestling, I loved seeing the massive guys do the crazy athletic stuff. I was like “you shouldn’t be able to do that!!”
John "the gentle giant" Tenta! My favorite wrestler of all time! The fact that John still hasn't been inducted into the WWE HOF proves what a disgusting human being Vince truly is! A big thanks for making this video! RI.P John!
You got that right
He looked like Tony Soprano a little bit
those were some great pics. I'd never seen him that young or that slim before. also, I think he did great job at protecting his opponents during his finisher. it looks devastating, but if you look close you can see how well he does it. nice job.
fine work as always he was a top guy when i first started watching loved his stuff good hard hitting stuff and man what a look imagine him vs broody
A respectable big man in wrestling, actually fun to watch.
In BC we had Earthquake, in Alberta we had Brett and Owen Hart, in Saskatchewan we had Roddy Pipep and in Manitoba we had Chris Jericho. Gotta love western Canada 🇨🇦
In Ontario we got Justin Berber 🎉
Thank you John for being apart of my childhood and Triple H do the right thing and induct Earthquake into the WWE Hall Of Fame 2024 plz 🙏🏾
Earthquake is the most underrated legend in WWF.
A true respectable Canadian man.
Rest in peace john and thank you for bringing joy to the fans.
John Tenta 💐💐💐
100%
Please do one on Haku! Also Bad News Brown Please!
RIP John we miss you
John Tenta was one of the best big men ever.
A special blend of power, agility and size.
RiP Big Man, you are missed
Brilliant editing at the beginning, with footsteps and moves in sync with the music! As always, just fantastic stuff.
Gotta love this man..what an amazing talent. R.I.P John Tenta
Great job. Why isn’t he in the hall of fame? R.I.P EarthQuake. I would love to see one on Ravishing Rick Rude. R.I.P
The Godfather is a Hall of Famer, but not John Tenta? Horseshit!!!!!!!
For some reason you can tell he was a good dude. RIP
Happy you included the WrestleCrap period. I was around for that time, and looked forward to his updates. Its when the updates slowed, and then ended altogether, you knew things had turned south. All I can remember was how incredibly sweet he was.
The Natural Disasters were a childhood favorite. This was an awesome career retrospective. I've gotten to meet Fred when I lived in Florida but I'm sad that I never met John. The Disasters team deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.
The greatest wrestler from Canada. He was good in the WWF. I liked the matches he had with hulk hogan in those days.
Amazing man. A true respectable Canadian man." he didnt tolerates racism and they found it in a hard way"
Rest in peace John 💐💐💐💐
I saw John Tenta wrestle in WWF and ALL STAR WRESTLING. Seeing him wrestle in Cloverdale in front of 100 people was awesome, And in front of 11,000 people when I was front row when he Beat Hulk Hogan in Main Event on a December 1990 card at Vancouver PNE Coliseum, Sad he is gone.
He's absolutely underrated. Good Guy with Skills. You are missed big Men 🙏🏼 RIP 🖤
I never knew anything about him other than growing up and watching this huge fucking dude they called "Earthquake" wrestle.
What a cool guy. I hate learning all of these great things about all of these great people when their time has already stopped.
RIP Earthquake. He was big scary dude.
He also has a character in the mobile game WWE Champions. He is a Powerhouse and is one of the baddest characters in the game.
It was meant to be...if Jimmy Hart hadn't randomly picked Big John out of the crowd...there would have been no Earthquake 🤯👍
One of THE BEST big men this business will ever see. A legit tough SOB in every sense of the word. God bless you Big John.
The spring of 1987 he join piper, you mean 1997🎯
I remember his tv debut with Dino Bravo and the warrior. I was watching the show with my grandparents just 2 days before my 5 birthday
This guy was one of the most believable heels ever!
John definitely deserves to be in any Hall of Fame.
Why cause he died? He didn't have a remarkable career.
Seeing Earthquake beat Yokozuna in a sumo match on Raw was priceless. Yokozuna was the hottest heel in WWF at this moment; even if he didn't pinned Yoko, I always felt like it was a huge deal for Earthquake. RIP to both guys. 🍻🍻
what is the mane of the song at the end? Its goes perfect with this. Great job!
A Wanderer by Peter Crosby
Amateur/Pro/Sumo Wrestler, Football/Rugby player and Bouncer. Dude was a badass.
Now this is a wrestler that should have held a major world title! Tenta was an absolute beast.
I didn’t appreciate Tenta enough when I was younger. Truly an agile and fast big man. I remember being absolutely devastated when he attacked Hogan on Brother Love I’ve never seen anyone say anything bad about the guy. By all accounts, a real gentleman and a sweetheart. RIP
HOF material, for sure...
Should be in the hall of fame for sure!
Love what you’re doing! Earned my subscription.
The amazing song at the end is A Wanderer by Peter Crosby
I didnt usually like the superheavyweight wrestlers that were just big and fat. Forbthe most part, they cant move around very well and dont implement many actual wrestling moves. Having said thst, i di kinda like Earthquake ( hated the Shark gimmick), especially when he tagged eith typhoon as the Natural Disa
sters.
What really tugs at my heart strings was how he got sick and died waaaay too young. RIP JOHN EARTHQUAKE TENTA.
Very well done. As I kid I was scared of the Mighty "Earthquake" and I am so thankful and grateful for the Roll John Tenta played in my childhood happiness 😊 R.I.P
Very well done! Thank you for all the great info!! John was a great wrestler! 🦈
John was 4-0 at Mania. One of the better records out there! Also when he squashed Jakes snake on TV was one of those freaky OMG moments
good video
Thanks
How did he die at 42..... I always thought quake was born looking old, sadly missed, wonderful human being
He was the first ever awesome heel when I first started watching WWF in the 80's. The first angle I remember was him squashing Hogan's ribs.
Shame they couldn't have put the belt on him and built him up as an unstoppable squashing machine over a few ppvs instead of Hogan beating him immediately after taking a move that kayfabe hospitalised him weeks before.
A complete waste of a great heel that could have made more babyfaces for the company
Fredd Ottoman, Tugboat, Typhoon, Shockmaster
name another big man that runs the ropes as good as big john
When I returned home from Desert Storm I bumped into him in an airport. I asked him for his autograph and he said only if he could have mine. Helluv a guy
Needs to be in the WWE HOF. Either just him or as part of the Natural Disasters w/ Typhoon
Belongs in hall of fame
I remember watching Earthquake debut on WWF. It was awesome.
Hall of frame if not should be
Man, I remember the program he did with Hogan. As a kid I was devastated! I knew wrestling wasn't real fighting, but I was still able to get into the storylines and this was the most repulsive and violent thing I had ever seen.
Born and raised in Vancouver. Later resided in Florida. Buried in Texas
Some of the most well put together documentaries I've seen i came across one of your videos looking for a good wrestling documentary and been hooked since keep up the amazing work. Subscribed.
They found out the hard way john dont do racism….. go on….
Even though I wasn't a fan of Earthquake, I loved the feuds he had with Hulk Hogan & Jake The Snake....really agile for a big man & certainly one of the WWF/WWE'S all time greats....Definitely should've been inducted into the WWE HALL OF FAME...
This guy is definitely not a shark or an avalanche.
This is excellent! Can you please tell me the song you used at the end?
His powerslam was a treat to see. He even did it on Bastion Booger who also was a huge guy showing how strong John was. RIP John.
Guys a legend. Should be in the wwe hof easily.
Excellent,loved John Tenta , absolute legend . R.I.P Big man .
Sad.and painful at the end. Wwe shame on you!
2:38. Welp. Already liked him before, but now he's invited to the heavenly cookouts 😂
There's is nothing to like about violence as who knows why the other people were fighting? I doubt it was about racism as that's ridiculous, they were probably fighting about a genuine reason and this bully who was trained joined in! And just imagine how embarrassing it would of been for someone having to help you ! Would of been soul destroying! And racism always gets thrown in if you fight a black man when no one cares what skin people have! No one cares apart from the media
Great documentary. Love John Tenta. I feel for his family, losing a Dad at such a young age. Curious what the name of that song at the end is, it's the perfect choice for John's legacy.
Sounds like a Bruce Springsteen type song I think
Tenta never wrestled in the WWE. It was WWF.
Dream match.. john studd vs earthquake
Use to see him at Safeway in Surrey with his Asian wife
Ten Ton Tenta, should have been easy to name
this ma needs to be inducted into wwe hall of fame.
Excellent video!!! Great job on the research and presentation!

A Wanderer by Peter Crosby
Always picked Earthquake in the video games. His finisher is my favorite
Nice vid, but...
Oh my lord... It's Jumbo Tsuruta. You butchered his name...
He look 50 at 22 rip
From Surrey BC Canada

He was 🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate this channel. It give you the back stories of the underrated wrestlers.
My favorite "Big Man" in wrestling. A great athlete and a hell of a performer.
Great wrestler
Thats the biggest 18 yr old i ever seen ! God bless you John ! I grew up watching Earthquake rumble !
Wow I remember that wwf debut so clearly still.
You Can’t Take The Wrestler Out Of Wrestling.
Nicely done mate. I thought this was going to be a slide show. So thank you!
It should have been Quake vs Warrior for the title
