This was one of my favorite gimmicks of the 2000s. I wish he'd come back as Deuce Snuka.

[@youtubin222]

i think this is the only shoot interview deuce has ever done. i thought he was underrated, personally. got a bad wrap due to that one london and kendrick shoot, the one that they buried his bumping(i actually thought he was a solid bumper)but he was great in his role. characters like deuce n domino are what professional wrestling is all about.

[@apricitegaming597]

Love that team

[@gripsimpson]

Love Deuce Snuka!!! One of my favorites of all time. Got to meet him in OVW a couple times, Saw him many times live in OVW. Thanks so much for this interview!! Wish Jimmy was on Instagram!!

[@youtubin222]

i don't think it had gotten stale. like deuce said in another part of his interview, it had only scratched the surface. they could've had a great run.

[@nagjautumn4892]

Yes they were hot.. but wwe as always have fucked alot of good teams

[@ReginaldForman]

Facts. That gimmick should have ran for years. I think the writing was corny the presentation was corny. It was definitely not a gimmick for the family era. Attitude era...they would have been huge

[@AndromedanPrince]

We went to the same pro wrestling school in the early 2000s and they did live shows in Vegas and let me tell you he was way better than what WWE showed, They really held him back. He has incredible agility and wrestling skills. He went by the name Solo and was a local star.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

20:52 - Pretty cool to hear him talk about the PPV match against his dad and Slaughter, I remember being so surprised that they went there at the time. Cool for him.

[@grantgibson6419]

Hated the way wwe split them up and then did nothing with them

[@JMaxwell85]

It was a problem they had around that time. Same thing happened with The Hart Dynasty and Cryme Tyme.
