I was going to have a poll for his best character, but it's just too much of a given that Earthquake would have won. So the poll is for his second best character. Which of these did you like the best?
Corny joke - I've always assumed that the surface of Heaven is made of that rubbery material that kids jump on a carnivals. When Earthquake got to Heaven, do you think there was more bouncing than usual? I'm talking the involuntary kind.

When I caught up with WWF in 1998, the 1st tag team i saw was the oddities (back in the days of Shotgun) and it really didn't suprise me when I learnt Golga was John Tenta. He proved with even the dumbest of gimmicks he could not only work, but also make us smile.

I wish they wouldn't have put John behind a mask. I think 'Quake would have fit just fine in the Attitude Era. He still could have played the monster heel, which he played to perfection, IMO.

I liked the "im not a fish" Speech but WCW didnt do anything with it...he was getting decent pops, they shoulda used that gimmick more.
Golga was his best role outside of quake...i thought he helped kurrgan grow and wasn't as terrible as many thought...the problem...the MORONS at wwf that 1...dragged in I See Pee er ICP and made everyone in the stable look bad in and out of the ring...2 making them faces instead of wierdos who were pissed off at being laughed at managed by Don Callis. (remember the beginning where they were crackhead bob and hank the drunk dwarf (RIP)'s revenge on the fans...it had legs but nooooo they had to make them faces and not have them talk...personally if tenta was the masked mouthpeice, a good masked freak vs bad masked freak (kane) anyone?
i will say however that ICPs rap was the only decent ICP did EVER!

I liked the Shark as you could actually see his face, and I just preferred anything that wasn't associated with the ICP.

I just remember laughing at how horrible the Shark gimmick was... especially that beard. Hearing Tenta scream "Shark Attack!" was too funny. He actually told us that he got his tiger tattoo changed to a shark especially for this gimmick.
I told him I couldn't believe he put that much thought into a shark-based character.
I dunno... something just makes me laugh when I think of how the once top heel of the WWF defected, only to be ordered to have a stupid shark gimmick. God bless him and the thing he did to put food on his family's table.

When asked which names he owned the rights to, he sarcastically replied "only Avalanche and Shark... the moneymakers."

Golga. I was really into the oddities when they showed up even though I never thought about who was under the Golga mask. Then the dumb ass writers and moron Insane Clown Pussies f***ed the whole thing up. If they had had 1 direction as either heel or face, they could have gotten over and stayed over.
