John Tenta was a huge man who looked way, way, way older than he actually was. Put it this way: John was in his 20s during his peak run as Earthquake in the WWF. Without being cruel, he easily could've passed for a dude in his 40s at least. Being fair, Tenta's look was perfect for the monster heel gimmick he played.

At his heaviest, Earthquake was billed at 468lbs. It's vital to point out that WWE (and pro wrestling in general) has added a few pounds to someone's weight here or there to make numbers seem more impressive, but 468 is too specific to be a kayfabe weight. They'd have rounded it up to 470 at least.

Tenta was believably heavy anyway. A gentle giant, he was known for being really careful not to hurt opponents when hitting his sit-down squash for the win. Even enhancement workers brought in to get him over barely felt a thing once it came time for the painful-looking finish.
