RIP John Tenta I have enjoyed being entertained by you over the years. You are defiantly one of a kind. You will be sadly missed. Just short of your 43th birthday. You are in my prayers I have been expecting this news for a few years now, but somehow it is a surprise today and I fell like it is unexpected. I have known a few people who have died from cancer over the last few years. JOHN TENTA JUNE 22, 1963 - JUNE 07, 2006

I always liked it when that guy was in the ring.
Rest in peace, Mr. Tenta.

John, it was a pleasure talking to you and learning some interesting aspects about your career and the wrestling industry. It was always a rush that someone I grew up watching would take the time to answer my questionsand talk to me. I wish I could have gotten to know you even better here, and I regret not posting in here more. Still, I always admired your humor and positive attitude throughout your ordeal. Thanks for everything.
RIP, big guy.

To Mr. Tenta's family,
At first I only knew him as Earthquake but the one or 2 times I spoke to him he was John. I'll miss him much I had planned to talk to him more at some point but I just forgot. Now I won't have the opertunity to have a discussion with this great man. I listened to all the RD. Reynolds interview and he sounded like a man who truly loved life and loved his family. There are many oponents he never defeated in the ring but I truly believed that he could win the greatest battle of his life. I know how sad it is to lose a loved one like this, just a few years ago my grandfather died of Lung and Brain cancer. I know it's not much but soon I will be competing in a Smash Brothers tourniment in CT. I will dedicate any victories to him. As I said it may not seem much to you but games are one of the main aspects of my life. He will always be missed all over the world, and on the internet, but perhaps, aside from your household, no place more then here at Wrestlecrap.
My Condolences, Logan J M T B Biscornet
RIP Earthquake

I just watched the clip on wwe.com, and it made me remember just how much I loved that powerslam of Quake's. RIP, big man.

I never met you in person or online, but your importance to this forum (especially with the insider's look at wrestling that you gave all of us fans) was felt by me as well as others. It will last on.
God bless you in the next world, Mr Tenta. And may God tend to your family, friends, and fans in this their time of sorrow.

To the family of John Tenta,
As a fan, I am hurt at the loss of Earthquake, but as a member of the site(wrestlecrap), after hearing and reading all the interviews on the site, I'm even more hurt that the world has lost such a good and friendly person like John Tenta.
I'm very sorry, but I know that he's in a much better place right now.
