WWE Hall of Famer’s daughter training to become a professional wrestler

As seen during the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, The Natural Disasters (John “Earthquake” Tenta and Fred “Typhoon” Ottman) were inducted and Earthquake’s daughter Joanna gave a speech. While appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Joanna noted that she is training to be a professional wrestler…

“When I was younger, I used to love watching wrestling. When I was 15, I told my dad that I wanted to do what he did. I wanted to become a professional wrestler. After he died, I stopped watching wrestling for almost 17 years. I tuned back in during WrestleMania 39 and remembered why I loved wrestling so much.

In June 2024, I decided that, even though I was older now, I wanted to learn and train to be a pro wrestler for the joy of it, so I’ve learned so much about how to trust in my body, to believe in myself to work hard, but most importantly and what I sought after is that is has formed a new and special connection with my dad.” (quote courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)
