Kurrgan Recalls Travelling With John Tenta, Says He Had a ‘Scary’ Temper

Kurrgan says John Tenta was a good guy, but one with a temper to be afraid of. Kurrgan teamed with Tenta in WWE when Tenta was Golga in the Oddities, and he recalled in an appearance on Stories With JBL and Brisco how he once saw the late Tenta lose his temper during a road trip on a group of guys in a car.

“John is a really good guy,” Kurrgan recalled (per Fightful). “He had a temper that was scary. We were in traffic, somewhere in South Carolina. Middle of the night, midnight or two in the morning. They were doing construction on the interstate. This car behind us, a bunch of kids, teenagers, they were driving and beeping the horn and giving us the finger. Don’t know why. We were like, ‘F**king kids.’”

He continued, “The traffic starts to move slowly, and their car starts to move beside us. John wanted to f**king kill them. He was driving. He put the window down and those kids put their window down, thinking we’re going to have a fight. John went Earthquake on them. ‘I’m going to tear your head off and s**t down your throat.’ Something like that. The kids put the window up and fucked off. They went the other way. They saw John and me next to him, two big guys, and went, ‘F**k this.'”

Kurrgan has left the wrestling business and gone on to become an actor, working in films like Sherlock Holmes, Deadpool 2, and Becky.
