10 Wrestling Legends That Would Never Be Pushed In WWE 2015
8. Earthquake
For most of 1990, Hulk Hogan feuded with a fat ex-sumo wrestler with male pattern baldness and a giant beard who jumped in a circle around people and sat on them. He's also so fat that he killed Jake Roberts' snake Damien by sitting on him. Relatedly, anyone who tells you that Earthquake also wasn't a monster heel who had great heat and got over during the entirety of his 1989-1993 WWF run is nuts. Earthquake was fat. Having a seismograph reading around the stomach of his gear didn't help things, either. It actually made him look even fatter, which in 2015 WWE is a thing that would likely either leave John Tenta mired in midcard mediocrity or just not in the company at all.
