[8.0] "Original Comment left on Sep 13th 2022, edited for embellishments and a score raise: A great career trajectory watch. Started as most do: enhancement talent, the place? Dallas! After looking at the lights twice a night; he joined his father & uncle as Samoan #3 in the WWF, getting his feet wet mostly in 6 man and regular tag events. He would later hit his stride when teaming with cousin Fatu as the Samoan Swat Team, they ran roughshod over World Class and were heaps of fun to watch. Must have been a joy for him personally to come back to that territory as a dominant force. Not only that, but they were the best thing going for WCCW at the time. Soon they found themselves employed by WCW and under the Jim Herd helm faired very well! Apparently Herd liked the team and gave them plenty of time to shine. After a high profile tenure in WCW, the duo would find themselves rechristened the Head Shrinkers (stupid name) in Vince's circus and in my estimation floundered because the competition just wasn't there (although they always had enjoyable interactions with The Steiner Brothers). Samu then faded from the limelight and I last saw him looking rather out of shape in ECW for a couple of quick minutes. Impeccable timing, shockingly quick and agile for his size. He did the hangman spot better than anyone ever in wrestling (the spot that cost Cactus Jack/Mick Foley one of his ears.). He he had a killer looking turnbuckle assisted Tornado DDT and some fantastic (devastating looking) kicks. A type of hidden gem for his era. 8.25"
