She went to one of the kiosks to figure out where we would pick up a dog and I just hung out by the baggage carousel. All of a sudden I see goddamn Earthquake dressed in regular clothes walking around. I was like holy ####, what is going on?!? Then a woman who was near him started yelling and like 2 or 3 little kids are running around too. They are pulling at his leg and stuff, and I am very confused. Why is this wrestler here, and why are all these people with him? Of course I figured it out later on that that was probably his wife and kids, but at the time I couldn't reconcile what I was seeing. My mom came back and said we're at the wrong spot so we left and went to a cargo facility elsewhere. It was pretty much all I could think about the whole drive back, even though we had just got a new dog. Why is Earthquake associating with all those regular people?!?

Apparently John Tenta was a very very good guy. The year the Sharks went up 3-0 then blew it, I used a pic of him as The Shark in WCW as I picked a bunch of Sharks players and “Shark attack” hand gestures at a pub watching the games. Very confident and looking like a genius until they lost. They ended up blowing it big time and I’ve never been able to live that down. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
