Alot of people have been given months to live and they end up beating the cancer.
Hopefully John will be one of those people. With new drugs and treatments, nothing is incurable anymore. | OMEGA

Best of wishes to him. My thoughts are with him. | jwrestle

| #5 Posted on 17.8.04 2002.48 Reposted on: 17.8.11 2008.49 | Cancer isn't cool...it killed my West Highland terrior. Yeah, it's a dog but still same thing kills people. I guess I remember ole John "Earthquake" Tenta from fueding with the Hulkster circa 1990.
Yet I have the Colosseum video where the Natural Disasters beat Money Inc. for the Tag straps. Then ole Quake was the one to pass out to put the straps back on Money Inc. at a Superstar taping or was it a house show?
Anyways, my thoughs to John "Earthquake" Tenta.

I wish him comfort and peace in his battle and may his days be filled with friends and enemies coming together to help him with his biggest fight

It was at a Challenge taping in Regina, Saskatchewan, although it did air on both shows. Money Inc did a make title defense the previous night at the Superstars taping in Saskatoon, (where Hart defeated Flair for the championship), before they officially won the belts. | The Thrill
