Greatest Samoan Wrestler that isn't The Rock?

[Rock Bottom]

WHO IS IT?

Any era, any time. I feel like a lot of these guys were great shit and most of them did not get any super title runs. I was thinking about this when I slit my wrists when the Uso's stopped showing up on my television.

I have heard and read but can not confirm that Jimmy Snooka was actually very close to being the top face in the WWE, along with Hogan or instead of Hogan.
(^Anyone know anything about that?)

Thoughts?

Pictures of vaginas and mammories?

[Rock Bottom]

Also I use the term "greatest" very loosely. Can be because you liked their ring work, their gimmick, their look, style, etc.

[Shisen Kopf]

Hillbilly Jim

[Rock Bottom]

Yokozuna. Multiple time WWF Champion. Main evented back-to-back Manias. Won the '93 Rumble. Went over Hogan clean in his last match before he jumped to WCW.

And Snuka was from Fiji, wasn't he?

[Loose Cannon]

yea, Yoko. didn't even think of Yoko as Somaon until you said it. Was going to say Umaga because he had a pretty good run.

[Shisen Kopf]

Um like Yoko don't count because they had him as a jap

[Juan]

Great thread

[Triple Naitch]

I'll wait for DVLH to post before I make my pick.

[DLVH84]

I say Afa and Sika.

[Triple Naitch]

I'll say Yokozuna then.

Yes. And don't count Haku/Meng and Barbarian either, because they're Tongan.

[The Naitch]

maybe RB meant to ask who was the greatest Polynesian wrestler. He probably thought all Samoans were Polynesian. The list for Samoan wrestlers is short

If we're going by Polynesians, I'll say Supafly

[HBPunk]

Hillbilly Jim

Im pretty stoned but this made me almost cum with laughter

[Shisen Kopf]

I'll say Yokozuna then.

NO NO NO Yoko was a jap dude. That's like saying rowdy roddy aint scotch or something. I dunno, but what I do know is this: Pro Rasslin is serious bizness

really dude? talk like a normal person or get the hell out of here

[Gertner]

Rick Martel.

[Shisen Kopf]

Rick Martel was a model and everyone knows Samoans are too fat to be models

[Nicky Fives]

Yokozuna, hands down..... not even close IMO.....

[XCaliber]

The one who did it for The Rock of course!

[The Pope]

Haku

[Rammsteinmad]

'The Samoan Bulldog' Umanga.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

You're only Samoan if you use a Samoan drop

[Theo Dious]

Went over Hogan clean in his last match before he jumped to WCW.

I'll give you the rest, Yoko was quite awesome... but CLEAN? Wasn't there a little matter of a camera blowing up in Hogan's face?

[Providence Peep]

I'd say Nikolai Volkoff :|

[Providence Peep]

Or Sam Fatu, who obviously should have won an Academy Award for his performance in the 1987 blockbuster movie "Body Slam":shifty:

[Aguakate]

Yokozuna

[NormanSmiley]

there are no points for second place boys

[loopydate]

I'll give you the rest, Yoko was quite awesome... but CLEAN? Wasn't there a little matter of a camera blowing up in Hogan's face?

True. But, to be fair, that was about as "clean" as anyone has ever gone over Hogan.

gotta go with The Rock's grandfather

High Chief Peter Maivia

[Rock Bottom]

Yeah my fault, I don't necessarily mean "Samoans," it's a term I use loosely to mean anyone from any island or any guy that looks Samoan.

[MoFo]

Uuuuummmmagggggggaaaaaaa

Yokozuna was really, really shit.

[Rock Bottom]

Uuuuummmmagggggggaaaaaaa

Yokozuna was really, really shit.

Lock Jaw? Where r u?

[JimmyMess]

SAMOAIT DOESN'T MATTER WHO THE GREATEST IS OTHER THAN THE ROCK.

yep.

In all seriousness... yeah I really just remember Rikishi and Umaga... and Samoa Joe...

[Vastardikai]

Uuuuummmmagggggggaaaaaaa

Yokozuna was really, really shit.

When he was mobile, Yokozuna did have some good matches.

In fact the match he had with Vader (the match before he got sent to fat camp and wasn't nearly as mobile as he had been) is an incredible big man match for what it was. And it wasn't all Vader bouncing off of him. His Urinage (sp?) and Samoan Drop on Vader were both impressive looking. And his selling of the leg injury was downright bone-chilling.

I would honestly say Yoko or Fatu.

[Seth82]

The Samoan Swat Team were fantastic also

Samu and Fatu

[Road Warrior]

The Samoan Swat Team were fantastic also

Samu and Fatu

Always liked them using the Halloween theme.

[Providence Peep]

Yeah my fault, I don't necessarily mean "Samoans," it's a term I use loosely to mean anyone from any island or any guy that looks Samoan.

A guy that looks Samoan......... like Joanie Laurer circa 1999?
