I haven't really seen many updates on his condition on here lately, so i went looking. Heres something i found on obsessedwithwrestling.com. If you guys haven't heard, you would probably appriciate knowing...

~~~He also has four large tumors on his lungs. His doctor has told him that the chances of long term survival are 10% to 20%...

Man, when I read the title I got a feeling in my gut that he had passed.

It's a shame. :(

oh no :(

Dammit

It was depressing when I first heard about it and its depressing to read about it again.

:(

thats a shame, :(

:(

My father had bladder cancer. It ranks pretty high on the discomfort scale when it comes to cancers. The doctors had to recreate a bladder for him and he had to cathederize himself so he could piss.

:(

can someone post apic>

Of what? A bladder? A cathader? Of Tenta?


Anyway, this sucks. I had that same gut sinking feeling when I read the title, hoping he hadn't passed. Geez, fight on, big John. Fight on.

FYI to those who don't know... John Tenta was most famous for playing "Earthquake" of late 80s/early 90s WWF programming.

He was the first heel I vividly remember, but also the first heel I loved. He was both terrifying and cool at the same time... when the big rumbles started for his music, you'd always know: EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!
