Hmm, the Hulk Hogan of Tokyo? Let's not get too carried away, young man.
Unfortunately, John Tenta shared the fate of many other big man wrestlers of looking 30 years older than he actually was.

Right after this he started in Al Tomko's All Star Wrestling. Think he worked there for about a year before joining the WWF.

Look how young he was! Man I miss razzing that man about college football. The last convo we had was texting about LSU vs UCLA in a bowl game.

That lady did a really good job there. It is so surprising how soft spoken and mild mannered he is. He was so believable as the evil human monster Earthquake or any of his gimmicks.

Tenta being in his mid twenties when he broke Hogan's ribs never fails to blow my mind.
Man looked about 40.

Did he ever get down to 340 lbs during his wrestling days? What was he during Golga days?

He looked so much slimmer during his Golga run and looked even slimmer when he was doing the independents and his WWF tryout in the early 2000s. I wonder his true weight during his WWF and WCW runs. I know he said he was "500 pounds" when he did his "not a shark" speech on Nitro but he looked much smaller then.
