Its just so sad we didn't get to see it again in the Gimmick Battle Royal at Wrestlemania X-seven. He lost so much weight, he could no longer fit into the Akeem gear, so he just went back to being the One Man Gang, which was far easier to pull off with normal clothes. But I know many of us wished we had that experience of singing "Jive Soul Bro" again :P

Imagine a faction comprised of Andre The Giant. Akeem. The Big Bossman (When he was at his biggest weight) Kamala. Earthquake and Typhoon and although he wasn’t in the WWF at the same time as Akeem or Andre......Yokozuna. I think they’d definitely need to reinforce the ring. Imagine that combined weight and then imagine them all helping to perform the Avalanche into the corner on some poor jabroni. You’d be scraping them off the mat. 😂 That would be one frightening sight seeing them all together coming charging at you
@ScottyBugler20058 ай бұрын
I so want Akeem to be in a WWE2K game at some point. Hopefully the next game. We get the Big Boss Man, so why not Akeem. Even his alter ego One Man Gang would be nice to have in the game. And the icing on the cake would be having Slick as one of the in game managers. They also need to bring back Mr Fuji in the game for pairing up with Yokozuna. It doesn’t really make sense to not have Fuji in the game, since he was a major factor behind the success of Yokozuna.
