Earthquake/Avalanche/Shark whatever you want to call him. He was one of the most underrated big men of all time. Dude belongs in the WWE HOF.

The giant was incredibly fit for a man his size you can see the definition in his arms the only man that can make John tenta look small

Wow, to think John Tenta was only 33 at this time. He looks 53.

[forumcelebritypodcast]

some wrestlers say that John Tenta was the nicest guy and it was a good thing because he was a legit bad ass. He was a famous sumo wrestler in Japan.

The Giant was in Best shape of his career here, very impressive to watch...

[jeffwellingtoniii]

He looks faster and slimmer than the WWE era.

The Shark was originally known as Earthquake, right?
I know I'm not losing my mind! lol

[jodypearce]

Wow!! This was so long ago. I do remember this era of WCW.

[RetrofIex]

Wow Big Show was lean and fit once. Looks like he weighs at least 100 lbs less

[Jack-Lack]

Man, people really got on their feet for that choke slam. They were like "DO THAT SHIT!"

[benpotaka]

[olmrgosh]

Big gold belt look so sweet and precious!!!

[jacobburtonswfc]

That is some strength at 3:30, absolutely amazing and effortless

[anwjuice]

That's my dude Earthquake. One of the most underrated wrestlers of the era. Should of been a heavyweight champion. He was tag team champion as Part of Natural Disaster's

[Bloodgod]

Rest in Peace John Tenta (Earthquake/Avalanche/The Shark) :-(

I would love to see one of these acromegaly guys paired with a good strength coach when theyre young and trained in power lifting just to see how much they're capable of. The Giant here is still not at his strongest and he picked up Tenta easily. I would have loved to see him in his prime on the Atlas Stones in the WSM competition.

when wrestling was fun to watch.. now its just gymnastics show.

It's a travesty that Earthquake is not in the WWE hall of fame! When I was a kid, I couldn't miss a match between Earthquake and Hogan, and one of the best tag teams I could remember was The Natural Disasters. I really miss the WWF golden years. Loved the oddities, and of course my favorite oddity was Tenta with the Cartman doll. I hated the way that wcw used him.

Back when Big Show has hair, good old days.
