Growing up I was a huge fan of Earthquake, while many were cheering on Hulk Hogan, I was yelling and screaming for Earthquake. I am saddened by this loss but I am sure that he has gone to a better place. It seems so strange that Wrestlers are passing away at such a young age. The Legendary Owen Hart, Miss Elizabeth, Eddie G. (can't spell his last name lol) and now Earthquake. I am sure that Vince has a special presentation scheduled for the next wwe taping. If that dosn't take place, I will be shocked.
