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.
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 ❤
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 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
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.
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
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...
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.
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
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.
great to get more info on Earthquake, was always a huge fan. RIP.
Earthquake is the most underrated legend in WWF.
John Tenta was one of the best big men ever.
A special blend of power, agility and size.
RiP Big Man, you are missed
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.
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 🎉
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.
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 🙏🏾
A true respectable Canadian man.
Rest in peace john and thank you for bringing joy to the fans.
John Tenta 💐💐💐
100%
A respectable big man in wrestling, actually fun to watch.
Now this is a wrestler that should have held a major world title! Tenta was an absolute beast.
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.
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
Brilliant editing at the beginning, with footsteps and moves in sync with the music! As always, just fantastic stuff.
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.
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
Gotta love this man..what an amazing talent. R.I.P John Tenta
He's absolutely underrated. Good Guy with Skills. You are missed big Men 🙏🏼 RIP 🖤
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.
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.
For some reason you can tell he was a good dude. RIP
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
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.
John definitely deserves to be in any Hall of Fame.
Why cause he died? He didn't have a remarkable career.
Should be in the hall of fame for sure!
Amateur/Pro/Sumo Wrestler, Football/Rugby player and Bouncer. Dude was a badass.
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
RIP John we miss you
I remember watching Earthquake debut on WWF. It was awesome.
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. 🍻🍻
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
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 💐💐💐💐
Excellent,loved John Tenta , absolute legend . R.I.P Big man .
Please do one on Haku! Also Bad News Brown Please!
I appreciate this channel. It give you the back stories of the underrated wrestlers.
This guy was one of the most believable heels ever!
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
He looked like Tony Soprano a little bit
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.
Very well done! Thank you for all the great info!! John was a great wrestler! 🦈
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.
Love what you’re doing! Earned my subscription.
RIP Earthquake. He was big scary dude.
This is my new favorite wrestling channel. Love the biographies!
That was a great video. Very well researched. I really appreciate your content. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the amazing documentary
Excellent video!!! Great job on the research and presentation!
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant mini doc.
Love these, keep it up brah
You'll never be forgotten & always praying for your Family!🙏💖
Nicely done mate. I thought this was going to be a slide show. So thank you!
The amazing song at the end is A Wanderer by Peter Crosby
Thats the biggest 18 yr old i ever seen ! God bless you John ! I grew up watching Earthquake rumble !
Your videos just popped up on my timeline and I saw what else you’ve put up and I’m not gonna lie I’m pretty excited for your choice of topics lol
Got the chance to talk to Mr. Tenta a few times a lot of it was about amateur wrestling (HS and college), man was a class act, very nice, and really cared about people.
name another big man that runs the ropes as good as big john
Guys a legend. Should be in the wwe hof easily.
Wow the feels on this one rip John Tenta, one of the good guys🙏🙏
RIP John and thanks for the memories.
bro i grow with world of sport English wrestling on the satellite. im from italy
and your channel in my opinion is one of the best
grazie fratello apprezzo il supporto
@@Daoloth no wrestler Is popular here in italy. I'm a big fan of Japan wrestling fmw and wing, Noah njpw ajpw and ecw from usa
@@Daoloth yeah I follow Brett fmw
A great talent and a great man, no matter what!
Always picked Earthquake in the video games. His finisher is my favorite
My favorite "Big Man" in wrestling. A great athlete and a hell of a performer.
Hey OWD, thank you for quality work on all those US wrestling documentaries. That's great. Sorry for my poor english and greetings from Belgium. 👍
No worries, dont be sorry! thanks for watching
Great video upload interesting to watch cheers m8 loved it so good what a great wwf wrestler earthquake was as well cheers bud
Thanks !
Fantastic video
Great watch 🙏
Very interesting/ thorough doc
what is the mane of the song at the end? Its goes perfect with this. Great job!
A Wanderer by Peter Crosby
What a great man, and truly a world class athlete
This is great
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...
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
John tenta- one of the nicest men in wrestling. I've heard the stories about how him and typhoon would close down buffets lol. Kidding aside he was a tremendous athlete, he never complained despite some of his ridiculous gimmicks, he always gave it 110%.He's a legend and deserves hof recognition
I got a chance to converse with John many times in the Wrestlecrap forums, and in person. Always a nice and pleasant guy to talk to and sad when he lost his life. He should be inducted to a Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame.
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
When I was a pre-teen I used to watch him on Al Tomko's All-Star Wrestling based out of Vancouver B.C. before his WWF run and sometimes I'd see him stomping around Guildford Town Centre mall in Surrey with his super-tiny Japanese wife. He really was larger then life when you saw him in person.
This is excellent! Can you please tell me the song you used at the end?
Great wrestler
good video
Thanks
Wow I remember that wwf debut so clearly still.
This is a great channel
Thank-you
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
This documentary is really high quality. Did you make this yourself or was this a program? At times i really can't tell if it's like a 90s/early 2000s tv special or a really decent CZcams video
He was awesome 👏
Thanks for this video. My childhood basically.
John must have been a tough bloke given his real greco roman wrestling past. How tall and heavy was he in reality by the way?
Much respect!!! Mr. Tenta
John Tenta running the ropes is one of my favorite visuals in all of pro wrestling.
