    The Natural Disasters were a childhood favorite. This was an awesome career retrospective. I've gotten to meet Fred when I lived in Florida but I'm sad that I never met John. The Disasters team deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

    Happy you included the WrestleCrap period. I was around for that time, and looked forward to his updates. Its when the updates slowed, and then ended altogether, you knew things had turned south. All I can remember was how incredibly sweet he was.

  • @jyesucevitz
    @jyesucevitz 3 роки тому +8

    those were some great pics. I'd never seen him that young or that slim before. also, I think he did great job at protecting his opponents during his finisher. it looks devastating, but if you look close you can see how well he does it. nice job.

    I saw John Tenta wrestle in WWF and ALL STAR WRESTLING. Seeing him wrestle in Cloverdale in front of 100 people was awesome, And in front of 11,000 people when I was front row when he Beat Hulk Hogan in Main Event on a December 1990 card at Vancouver PNE Coliseum, Sad he is gone.

    When I was a pre-teen I used to watch him on Al Tomko's All-Star Wrestling based out of Vancouver B.C. before his WWF run and sometimes I'd see him stomping around Guildford Town Centre mall in Surrey with his super-tiny Japanese wife. He really was larger then life when you saw him in person.

      There's is nothing to like about violence as who knows why the other people were fighting? I doubt it was about racism as that's ridiculous, they were probably fighting about a genuine reason and this bully who was trained joined in! And just imagine how embarrassing it would of been for someone having to help you ! Would of been soul destroying! And racism always gets thrown in if you fight a black man when no one cares what skin people have! No one cares apart from the media
