Rikishi shoot Teaser Talking Umaga,Yokozuna,Tonga kid n much more! No-kayfaben.com

In this interview he gets emotional speaking about his younger brother Umaga... we also had a nice combo about yokozuna The Tonga Kid and much more....Enjoy!

[@really9624]

Umaga was the absolute best. Damn I miss him R.I.P. You're truly missed.

[@panthervoodoo]

for real for real. Not too many guys brought what he brought to the ring. I miss dude a lot too. SO sad the brother passed away.

[@javonmccord13]

Legacy Mann they gave a tribute to randy savage

[@thevillager4024]

Because Umaga had serious addiction problems and he refused to go for rehab as advised by WWE. And as he died due to drug addiction. That's why they didn't do a tribute show for him

I was watching a video one day and the Usos said that Umaga was the one that brought them into the business and when they got their contracts Umaga passed away

[@quietspudlv8664]

Usos were inspired by their father and uncle (Umaga/Eddie Fatu)

Almost every Samoan did a backdrop, I don't know ring move(s) what J+J Pooso are doing that are homage to Umaga. I'm just glad I never have to see them both jump over the top rope. Boring af. Rather see William regal get the stink face.

[@chriskelly6285]

When I watch interviews like this with guys who wrestled in "my era" I cant help feeling guilty. I feel guilty because as a 9 year old kid who had no means of understanding the pains and hardships these guys endured in order to make a living and to put a smile on kids faces you begin to realise that the price these guys paid can't be justified or rationalised by the amount of money they earned. They've lost brothers, fathers and friends all in the name of entertainment and I hope that in their days of retirement they can at least tell themselves that to kids like me who are adults today, they can understand that my childhood and millions of others wouldn't have been half as memorable as it was if they hadn't been selfless enough to put the fans needs before their own.

I wish WWE would make an Anoa’i family faction. USos Tamina Roman, Nia Jax and bring back Manu and have them managed by Rikishi or or the wild Samoans. Let them be heel and win all of the belts on both Raw and Smackdown and let them dominate. Make it serious and have Vince ask Rock to talk to them about how they don’t listen but they end up jumping Rock for “Selling out to Hollywood” and not staying true to his roots.

Umaga was so athletic, if I'm about to wrestle and Umaga's my surprise opponent that day, then you know what, I'm scared. I agree, we need more characters in the WWE to suspend disbelief and just to have fun. I think in today's time too many fan's take wrestling way too seriously. Sure there is alot of realism but wrestling is still supposed to be fun.

[@theycallmebigpapa8804]

well, your about to get a bunny to be a tag team champion...

[@allblkraider5108]

[@Psychogamer_167]

I agree. Thats because most of the fans of today dont know wrestling, they just like it. To prove my point, look at the greatest matches of all time voted by the fans that WWE put out. Theres no way the order or the matches they put out are the greatest. I think they had the TLC matches twice. Granted they were different matches, but come on, that don't make no sense to me. Let me give you a list and you will see greatest matches of all time. ✌

Tonga Kid did what, for me, was the best ever headbutt in a pro wrestling match, both the delivery, and the sell from the guy on the receiving end, and I didn't even see it during a wrestling show. it was at the start of my favourite film, Highlander, Tonga Kid was on a team in a six man tag against the Freebirds, and I've never seen a headbutt that looked so real and brutal, and the sell from the other guy, as he went down was awesome (wasn't Michael Hayes, was one of the other two, can't remember his name)

My favorite wrestling was when the company was called WWF.

WWE doesn't maintain kayfabe anymore. The internet in a way ruined wrestling.

[@giraffemonsoon]

I know exactly what Rikishi is talking about with being 'hooked' back in by the entertainment. I was away from wrestling lots of times over the years but then so happened to watch and got 'hooked' back in by guys who were great workers and entertainers like when Randy Savage just joined the wwf, that was one of those times that 'hooked' me back. Also I got hooked back in by Razor Ramon when he was just starting out, and when Mick Foley was just breaking out of his Mankind character, and when the Ringmaster became Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was those great characters that did it for me. So Rikishi knows exactly what he's talking about.

[@hotman718]

Umaga is an all time great whos life was cut short. At the time he was in WWE he was the best worker.

[@hps69]

I'm confused, at 6:55 Rikishi says Umaga was 38 when he passed away, although according to Wikipedia he was 36. Rikishi's 46 at the time of this interview. He says they're 8 years apart, which is also true on Wikipedia (Rikishi born in '65 and Umaga in '73). Perhaps he just said the wrong number, who knows...
