Michael HamflettHOST
[laughs] Not even close, buddy.
Michael HamflettHOST
I'd rather Golga or Vader, mate.
Michael HamflettHOST
Uh, what? It's all tent, eh?
Michael SidgwickHOST
Avalanche or Vader.
Jeff JarrettHOST
I said, "Okay." And John was like, "Great." Now, before I get into when I executed the bull off the second, in my mind, and this is, like one of those moments, yeah, I'd grown up in the business and all that kind of stuff.
Jeff JarrettHOST
In my mind, John Tenta is Earthquake, who laid out The Hulkster.
Conrad ThompsonHOST
Yes.
Jeff JarrettHOST
And I thought out of that run of monster heels, Kamala was kind of home territory, but y- we could go down the list of monster heels that Hogan worked with.
Bret HartGUEST
I'm just saying that my dad used to always say, you know, I'll imitate him.
Bret HartGUEST
He'd say, I'd like to see the guy that's going to take Earthquake off his feet.
Bret HartGUEST
And I, you know, I think about it and I go, undefeated sumo wrestler, undefeated amateur wrestler, undefeated in every kind of type of wrestling you can think of.
Bret HartGUEST
Not too many guys pushing Earthquake around.
Steve AustinHOST
Yeah.
Steve AustinHOST
Yeah.
Steve AustinHOST
Earthquake, pretty tough guy,
Bret HartGUEST

speaker_0HOST
[upbeat music] So let's talk about typhoons.
speaker_0HOST
And no, I don't mean that professional wrestler who partnered up with Earthquake and later moved on to Shock the World.
speaker_0HOST
I'm talking about the massive spinning storms originating from the ocean and making their way to land.
speaker_0HOST
Now, I live in the Philippines, a country that sits smack dab in the middle of what's called the Typhoon Belt, the most active storm corridor on the planet, which means we're usually the first big chunk of land those storms run into, making us basically the world's bumper car for bad weather.

The
Shaz BeefHOST
Canadian Earthquake.
Shaz BeefHOST
But in Survivor Series 1989, there was one of the, it's the first tape I ever own, and seeing Dino Bravo with Earthquake and they're doing their promo beforehand, but seeing Rugged Ronnie Garvin with the two by fours with Hacksaw, Brett was on that team as well.
Shaz BeefHOST
I was like, who the fuck is this guy? Let it be said, I mean,
Don TonyHOST
But the main event, obviously, was a battle royal.
Don TonyHOST
The matches on the card, the Nasty Boys over the Rockers, Ric Flair over Tito Santana, Earthquake over the Boss Man, The Mountie over Texas Tornado, Undertaker over Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Legion of Doom over Power and Glory, British Bulldog over the Barbarian, And then they had a 20-man over-the-top battle royal featuring Texas Tornado, Undertaker, Typhoon, Tito Santana, Jerry Sags, Paul Roma, Roddy Piper, Shawn Michaels, the Legion of Doom, the Mountie, Barty Jannetty, Brian Nobbs, Hercules, Ric Flair, Earthquake, Bossman, Jim Nuggan, the Barbarian, and the British Bulldog.
Don TonyHOST
And it was won by the British Bulldog.
Don TonyHOST
1992, we've talked about it in the past, Scott Steiner, very early heel turn that only lasted for a couple of weeks because he would depart WCW for the WWF.
Mitch HontziasHOST
Yeah, Tugboat.
Mitch HontziasHOST
Turning on Hogan to join Earthquake for the natural disasters.
Mitch HontziasHOST
You killed everybody that day.
Mitch HontziasHOST
You know why? Because you made him wear the stupid hat and the red and white striped shirt and he was confused.

Kurgan, and Golga, Earthquake in a Mask.
