Van_Dammer Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Really sad news. As Earthquake, Tenta was a character that definitely stood out to me when I was young...R.I.P. Edited June 7, 2006 by Van_Dammer
Mattyc Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Like many I had been following his posts over on the Wrestlecrap forums, when he stopped posting around March time it was concerning and then I checked a few days ago and a friend of his posted that he was not doing so good, While this news of his passing is not shocking it is still very sad, He was a person that I have never heard or read anything bad about and while I never met him he always seemed to value his fans and interact with them as much as he could via Wrestlecrap and for a short time the UKFF. At least he is no longer suffering, My thoughts go out to his family and friendsRIP
Paid Members DJ Kris Posted June 7, 2006 Paid Members Posted June 7, 2006 That's very sad news, although not unexpected. A real shame this is one fight he didn't win. Excellent character and genuinely nice guy by all accounts.
ukedge87 Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I had heard of his struggle with this cancer for years, and had hoped he would pull through.I just watched him and Typhoon tag up at Royal Rumble 1992, and had forgotten how talented he had been for a big guy.He will be sorely missed by wrestling fans and workers alike.RIP John Tenta.
Paid Members AJ~ Posted June 7, 2006 Paid Members Posted June 7, 2006 Sad news. :(He'll be up there making peace with Damien I'm sure.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 7, 2006 Paid Members Posted June 7, 2006 RIP Johnalways came across as a genuinely nice guy, his wrestlecrap association is legendar.Earthquake for me will always go down as one of the greatest heels of all time, he was the main guy when i was growing up, the nostalgia factor is always there, memories ill never forget.
