Apparently Buff has turned into the future version of Mac from It's Always Sunny

Pretty sure Tenta worked at the Bengal

By all accounts, extremely nice guy as far as pro wrestlers go.

I was at one of Terry Gordy's last matches before he died, dude looked rough.

I still have no fricking clue how those dudes in 90s WCW wrestled in f-ing Cowboy Boots.

You couldn't pick a more uncomfortable or inflexible footwear attire to be running and slamming around 250-300lb dudes on concrete and plyboard.

Those things are like running on slanted cinder blocks.

Yes he basically ruined his brain with that overdose in Japan and had a stroke. Was never the same and people said he was almost like a child mentally. They tried to give him a lst shot as the executioner but he was barely functional and it lasted a very short couple of weeks. Sad.

Just finished the Earthquake one. Seemed like a really good family man. That was a particularly sad ending. Damn.

I kinda feel bad for Hogan because almost all of his buddies that he drew big money with are dead

Also a professional sumo wrestler in Japan.

He was climbing through the ranks but they insisted he have his bicep tattoo carved off in order to be promoted, so he quit and transitioned to professional wrestling.

John Tenta is like a unicorn in professional wrestling. No substance abuse, a functional nuclear family and an absolute gentleman to all wrestling fans.

His tag partner, Tugboat / Typhoon / Shockmaster is generally seen as the same, though a punch line because of that last one.

He is also a Rhodes family member, as Cody Rhodes apparently yelled “Hey it’s Uncle Fred!” when he tripped during the Shockmaster into and his spray painted stormtrooper helmet fell off.

That is a cultural thing in Japan because tattoos mean Yakuza over there.


His upward movement would have been limited anyway because you didn’t have a non-native reach Yokozuna rank until the late 90s IIRC.

Wife was 4'11". My goodness. Tenta was a mountain of a man. Physics are mindboggling.

Sounds like Sheikh Adnan Al-Kassey describing Andre The Giant fricking a woman when he left his shades open one night… “like a lion raping a rabbit.”

Try this one. It is currently a “live” broadcast but you can rewind it.

You don't know who Earthquake, Buff Bagwell, Terry Gordy, and Brutus Beefcake are/were?
