John...
I'm SO glad that you're out! When I talked to your wife, she said that you weren't in pain.
I guess that you got my e-mailed WrestleBeat column, after I found out that I have a blockage in the left side of my heart. They sent me to a Cardioligist on Tuesday. I'm alright, though! I had the stress test, the treadmill, etc., and the Doctor told me that it was NOT serious! I'm taking Altace and the "baby" aspirin. The MAIN thing is that I WON'T have to have surgery. However, they're going to keep an eye (BOTH eyes, actually...lol) on it with ocassional follow-up visits.
Anyway...BIG MAN...YOU are in my thoughts and prayers, as well as in EVERYONE ELSE'S!!!
I look forward to talking with you either Saturday or Sunday! TAKE CARE, BROTHER!
Michael

Thank you all for your prayers, and well wishes. I'm trying my best to stay strong. Attacking Ape, Merc, and occasionally Toomi, and reading Joker's bad bar jokes, keeps me laughing. Seeing how many of you care for me also pleases me very much (blushes). Didn't mean to scare you Chocula! Michael, I'm glad you are going to be all right. I'll look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, all. 'Quake

It is great to have you back with us. I spent a couple of days in the hospital while I was waiting to start Basic training at Fort Benning, GA, so I know that it isn't much fun. (Well, a couple of the nurses made it more tolerable. Getting to watch Raw was a boost as well, except for the fact that they announced Curt Hennig's death that night.)

HEY EVERYBODY...
I just (Saturday Sept.10th) got off of the phone with Earthquake John Tenta from his home about 30 miles outside of Houston, Texas!
He tells me that he's doing "not too bad"...BETTER in the last month than he had been feeling in recent past!
John told me that on the VERY day of his oldest son's recent wedding, he received a call from one of his physicians that they had discovered another tumor in the SAME left hip area where he had his original Cancer surgery. So, his day of his son's wedding was extremely bitter-sweet, to say the least.
'Quake started a new session of Chemotherapy and Radiation Treatments for this new developement. His Radiologist seems to be pretty certain that this new tumor should respond to the radiation treatments!
John adds that he has been OFF of ALL Chemo for a month, and he IS feeling better! He had been experiencing a lot of tiredness, weakness, and shortness of breath. But, as I said...he IS feeling BETTER! I'm CERTAIN that we are ALL happy to here that you're feeling better, John!
'Quake and I also discussed "the old days"...our times with the WWF, some of our friends in the company, etc.
Of course, his closest and best friend was Fred Ottman (Typhoon...aka, Tugboat), his Tag Team partner.
John also told me how proud he was of his 12 year old son, Johnny who made the "A-Team" football squad! Johnnyat age 12, already stands 5' 7" and weighs 190 lbs.! So...we KNOW where he gets his SIZE from!
With that, I let 'Quake return to watching his Saturday College Football games! He informed me that he was switching back and forth between THREE different games. He LOVES his football! When I asked him if he preferred Collage or NFL football, he responded that while he DOES watch the NFL, he is a HUGE College follower.
It was a GREAT conversation with one of the NICEST guys I've ever known or worked with! I call him "a Gentle Giant"! But, more importantly, I call him "FRIEND"!
I KNOW that you will join me in CONTINUING to send out your WELL-WISHES and your PRAYERS for my GOOD Friend, Earthquake John Tenta!

Starting Monday I will be going to the hospital daily M-F for two weeks to receive radiation. I won't have time to "play" at my regular time, but will still be around a lot. 'Quake
