Hello, I'm a new member who's been lurking this incredible official forum for the past 6 months. I was a big fan of Tenta during his early years as Earthquake (which coincided with the time that I was most into wrestling). He was also my favorite character in WrestleFest. As a frequent user of Wikipedia, I'd been adding a few bits to his article over the past several months, for example, I was shocked that the article didn't yet have a section on his awesome debut into the WWF (I'll never forget the push-up "competition"). Coincidently, I discovered this forum through that article. Well, since John Tenta tragically passed away, I decided to renew my effort to make the article even better. So far I've added a section on his video game appearences, as well as an decent subsection on his sumo days. Others have also contributed (I'm sure some people from here are among them). I just wanted to welcome more of you to help out because I think you all probably know even more. I know I've been learning a number of random facts from perusing this forum. Here is his article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_TentaIf you want a quick into to how to use Wikipedia, check here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IntroductionAnyway, I just wanted to thank you all for this forum, and help pay my respects to the man, the legend, John "Earthquake" Tenta. --Bobak

Quoted for truth. This will be a nice way to preserve his memory for future fans, since there is not a lot of footage on WWE DVDs yet.

Well, it wasn't just me. I'm only proud of the aforementioned additions to early life, sumo, video games, and WWF intro. Thus, if you see anything you'd like to add, just hit the "Edit" button, make a change (and add a summary at the bottom of the form) and hit "save". The best part about Wikipedia is anyone can edit it (it's also the worst thing... but c'est la vie)

It's good...but I noticed a couple of booboos.
It says on top that John's full name was John Anthony Tenta, but where it starts talking about his WWF career it says John P. Tenta.
And while probably not that big of a deal, Quake did tell me himself that he's a third, as am I...so you think it'd be a good idea to label him John Anthony Tenta III?

Please feel free to make the change. I got "Anthony" from a Sumo World Magazine article, as for the third, you could very well be right.
