Umaga. A non speaking, Samoan savage gimmick complete with tribal face paint, taped feet, a handler and a thumb poke for a finish had no right being over as it was for as long as it was.
But, it worked. Really well. Umaga was always a decent threat and never turned into a comedic shtick, and was able to get to the point of not needing a manager to cut his promos but still staying relevant.
