I think you'r thinking of his tag partner, Typhoon.

That's a real shame. I was hoping he would beat the cancer. RIP Earthquake.

Thats the one. I used to have the action figures.
I always loved that name though Typhoon.

Huh. I don't know much about him, apart from the fact that he didn't look very healthy to begin with.

But still, the guy's dead. At least there's action figures of him and stuff.

 

[Demon Within]

A classic dead. I loved the Earthquake Vs. Hogan matches.

yeah, you love the name Typhoon so much that you get it confused with Tsunami...

He was a sumotori for years, so that was just his build. And I've seen some Natural Disasters matches, and he was damn agile for his size.

Earthquake died. Remember that he wasn't just Earthquake. He was also a part of the Oddities with Luna and that. Remember he used to carry around the Cartman doll and he wore the brown mask.

Wrestlers just keep dying left and right these days.

And his partner was TUGBOAT. He then later changed his name to Typhoon and they became the Natrual Disasters. For those young bucks who can't recall wrestling history.

What was his name? Gonga? Gurgan? Something like that.
