- Wrestling finisher move "The Earthquake Splash"
- As Golga, he always came to the ring with a stuffed Eric Cartman (from South Park) doll.
- He was never pinned on PPV as Earthquake. In fact, he was only ever pinned twice on PPV in his entire career. Sting and Randy Savage defeated Avalanche and Big Bubba at "WCW SuperBrawl V" when Sting pinned Avalanche. The Headbangers (Mosh (Chaz Warrington) and Thrasher (Glenn Ruth)) defeated the Oddities (Golga and Kurrgan) at "WWF Rock Bottom" when Mosh pinned Golga after Golga had missed his running sit-down splash.
- As Avalanche, he was billed from "Mt. Everest, WA." As the Shark, he was billed from "Tsunami," later changed to "The Great Barrier Reef." While the Great Barrier Reef does exist, obviously nobody lives there.
- Stomped Jake Roberts' snake Damien in 1991.
- Was selected as a member of Team Piper at Uncensored '97, but didn't compete when the Four Horsemen replaced the entire team except Piper.
- Won the Pro Wrestling Illustrated Achievement Award for "Most Hated Wrestler of 1990".
- [Disowning his Shark gimmick] "I'm not a shark, I'm not a fish, I'm not an avalanche. I am a man! John Tenta! A 500 lbs. man!"
