RIP Eddie 'Umaga' Fatu

[CSL]

Edward Fatu, 36, is hospitalized in Houston and in what was described as life threatening condition by a long-time friend.

His family was told to come into town as quickly as possible.

Details are sketchy at this point but he apparently fell asleep last night while watching television, and several hours later, his wife found him not breathing with blood coming out of his nose and he was rushed to the hospital.

[BigDaddyCool]

Wow, sucks. Don't do drugs.

[Anybody Thrilla]

God damn it, this is awful. I just met the guy back in May. :(

I'm going to a local wrestling show tonight with Rosey on the card (now RO-Z). I wonder if he's even going to compete now.

RIP Umaga.

[CSL]

Okay, now it seems some fool published this 'report' early

[Tb1]

Yeah I can't find a report confirming this.

[Schlomey]

fuck.

[CSL]

PWTorch have now removed the article...

[The Destroyer]

Can't find anything anywhere to support this.

It's been added to his Wikipedia article but the PW Torch link in the citation is a 404.

[Schlomey]

if this is another daniel pena scandal I'm going to hunt his little ass down.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yeah hoping this is fake.

[IC Champion]

I cant find anything confirming it.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, was just looking around and the only thing that checks out so far is Kennedy's Twitter.

I'll hope for the best until I hear otherwise.

[CSL]

Can't find anything anywhere to support this.

It's been added to his Wikipedia article but the PW Torch link in the citation is a 404.

Yeah, I checked Wiki as soon as I saw the Kennedy comment and there was nothing. 10 minutes later there was a PWTorch report and he was dead on Wikipedia. All seems to have stemmed from the Kennedy comment. Wiki now says 'suspected drug overdose'. Maybe he's in a bad way? Do people 'say a prayer' for already dead people?

[mike adamle]

Ryan Clark says he's in the hospital and in bad shape, but it's fucking Ryan Clark.

[The Gold Standard]

On the PWTorch app, the article is still up.

[The Gold Standard]

They just took it off the app.

This is one reason why Wikipedia is a good resource... people update the article with new, correct information as soon as it comes out.

[CSL]

Yeah, that same report is on a few sites now. Gonna update the op

[Fignuts]

Hope he pulls through.

[addy2hotty]

Not good. Not good at all.

[Tb1]

C'mon Umaga :(

[EDWARD]

damn say it ain't so

[CSL]

Blue Meanie:

"...keeping Umaga in his thoughts. He has been reported as passing BUT he is still alive and in very serious condition. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts."

Val Venis:

"...praying for my friend Eddie Fatu and his family. I just spent the last 2 weeks with Eddie in Australia and I am currently shocked and saddened by this news. I cannot believe this is happening again"

[RGWhat316]

Wow, this is shocking to hear. I hope he pulls through.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

I hope Umaga pulls through this, I don't hearing this type of new about anyone.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wow, this is horrible. :(

The sad thing is...given the apparent repeated drug test failures and WWE firing him for not attending rehab, I can't say I'm surprised. Really hope he pulls through.</font>

[ClockShot]

Bummer. Always liked the Umaga character.

But I'm with the majority, drugs are bad. Should have taken the rehab visit instead of leaving the WWE.

Sad day. :(

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>An eerie thing I just though of. If he does pass, I'm pretty sure his final match was in Hulk's Australia against Kennedy...Eddie Guerrero's final match was also with Kennedy.</font> :(

Breaking Update: Talent Tweeting On Umaga
By Ryan Clark on Friday, December 4th, 2009 at 3:28 PM EST

Several wrestlers have posted messages on Twitter regarding the hospitalization and rumored death of former WWE superstar Eddie “Umaga” Fatu. Here’s what some of them are saying:

Ken “Mr. Kennedy” Anderson: “Say a prayer for my boy Umaga”

D’Angelo Dinero / Elijah Burke: “Pope was informed many hours ago of my friend Umaga. Pope will not comment until the family speaks, neither should you. Prayer is key! ~ PHS”

Bobby Lashley: “Very sad day today. A good friend is gone.”

[The Jayman]

Kennedy...the real Legend Killer

[GD]

Fight Umanga!

[TGR]

Come on...Not Umaga. >:(

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>He's off life support.</font> :(

[Storer50]

This sux Umaga had some of the most impressive offense since Kanyon retired.

[The Jayman]

:y: <---Here is my salute. If only the thumb was taped :(

[Verbose Minch]

Youmanga... :(

[GD]

Shit

[Hanso Amore]

FUcking crazy the mortality rate of these guys.

I imagine this was a long time coming if he was fired for his drug issues. Very Sad.

[Shadow]

If he's dead....fucking hell.

Sucks so much cause he had such a bright and promising future.

[Cool King]

This is terrible news. :(

Apparently, his family were that he suffered a heart attack or something.

I just hope he pulls through and makes a quick recovery.

[DLVH84]

Come on, UMAGA, FIGHT THROUGH THIS!!!

[CSL]

Former WWE star Umaga (Eddie Fatu) was removed from life support earlier this afternoon, reports WWE announcer Jim Ross, who says he spoke with a friend of Fatu's family.

Fatu's official death is expected to be announced this evening. He was on life support at a North Houston hospital after his wife found him unresponsive this morning at his home in Spring, Texas.

Fatu reportedly suffered a massive heart attack. We reported originally that Fatu was found bleeding from his mouth and nose when he was found in his home.

:(

[CWK]

Just hope he passes really soon so he doesn't suffer for days and days.

[EDWARD]

wwe just confirmed his passing

[taker707]

WWE is reporting Umaga has passed


WWE would like to express its deepest condolences to Mr. Fatu’s family, friends and fans on his tragic passing. Mr. Fatu was under contract with WWE at various time periods and most recently performed under the name "Umaga." Mr. Fatu's contract was terminated on June 11, 2009.

[DLVH84]

THE SAMOAN BULLDOZER IS SILENCED FOREVER!!! R.I.P. UMAGA!!!

[addy2hotty]

Fuck. Another one gone.

RIP Eddie Fatu.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Damn. R.I.P Eddie Fatu

[Triple Naitch]

RIP

[CSL]

Really sucks. Truly one of the better big men, his Royal Rumble match with John Cena was fantastic. Apparently he was in contact with WWE again recently.

[Cool King]

Damn it. :'(

This totally sucks. He'll be missed.

R.I.P

[EDWARD]

damn...when i read earlier in the year that he was coming back to wwe, i was really excited to see him again. he was truly a badass.

R.I.P. Eddie Fatu

[CWK]

From WWE.com

WWE would like to express its deepest condolences to Mr. Fatu’s family, friends and fans on his tragic passing. Mr. Fatu was under contract with WWE at various time periods and most recently performed under the name "Umaga." Mr. Fatu's contract was terminated on June 11, 2009.

........

Thats good WWE that you all mentioned on when you terminated Umaga's contract when he just died. Wouldn't want any bad press to get on your company or have people think that he died while employed with the company.

What heartless, selfish assholes they are.

[Cool King]

Truly one of the better big men, his Royal Rumble match with John Cena was fantastic.

Indeed.

It was an awesome match. I was pissed off when he lost.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Meh...

[TGR]

fuck.

[jimmy012345]

R.I.P. UMAGA

[Mike the Metal Ed]

R.I.P. Umanga :(

[addy2hotty]

No surprise really. This will likely get press coverage due to his involvement in the Trump storyline and Linda running for the Senate.

Cold but not a surprise.

[CWK]

I can just hear the WWE spokes people now...

"No No, don't blame us for him dying, we fired him almost 6 months ago, June 11, 2009 to be exact."

This is what kind of world we live in now. Sad.

LONG LIVE THE SAMOAN BULLDOZER........ UUUUUUUUUMAGA!!!!!!

[Tb1]

:(

RIP Umaga

[Inadequacy]

It's just damage control, it's not like they don't wish his family well or anything

[TGR]

As a side note, how many more stigmas can Mr. Kennedy be labeled with? Son of a bitch cant get a break, first with the being injury prone thing, then being the last opponent of two wrestlers before they passed on.

I'd be shaken as hell if I were he.

[Impeccable]

Damn, damn, damn. Totally sucks. Another one taken before his time :(

[CWK]

Umaga, you were in a headlining match and helped draw 80,000+ people in Detroit. Thats amazing. Rest in peace.

[CWK]

I know, they mean well, but they didn't have to write the date in there of when they fired him. He JUST died. Just now. Let a couple of days pass at least.

[Vastardikai]

At least they aren't interviewing his wife and bringing up his drug use during the interview.

[Inadequacy]

Well, I can see where you're coming form

[CWK]

Wonder if The Rock will speak publicly on him, I believe he and Umaga were cousins.

[thedamndest]

How is this inappropriate in the least? They're just saying that he wasn't currently working for the company.

[Vastardikai]

I'm saying this is far from a new low. They've gone MUCH lower in the past.

[CWK]

At least they aren't interviewing his wife and bringing up his drug use during the interview.

You are completely 100% right, forgot all about that. So long ago. WWE has not sunk to a new low. The interview with Melanie Pillman the day after Brian's death was the lowest thing ever. Vince McMahon should be ashamed of himself.

[Godfather4Life]

RIP UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMAGA

[XCaliber]

RIP Eddie Fatu

[RatedGSuperstar]

The wording sucks, but I don't find it to be malicious at all. I suppose they could've said "Fatu last appeared in the WWE at the Extreme Rules PPV" or something, but I don't think they meant any harm by it.

Now if they have CM Punk come out next week and tell us that he tried to tell Umaga to stop doing drugs and now he's dead, then yeah, that would be in bad taste.

[CWK]

How is this inappropriate in the least? They're just saying that he wasn't currently working for the company.

Just the way they said it "He was terminated from his contract on June 11, 2009." That sounds so cold.

How about, "Umaga last performed with WWE until June of this year and was most recently on an independent wrestling tour of Australia, we send our condolences to his family."

That would have been much more professional and compassionate.

[XCaliber]

It's ridiculous that they felt that they had to add the actual date they might as well have taken it a step further and have Vince McMahon come out and say "I didn't do it he screwed himself!" it makes them look more guitly if anything.

[thedamndest]

Because the WWE doesn't work with the independent company and realistically anyone concerned about getting compassion from wwe.com probably has their head up their ass.

[CWK]

The guy has suffered enough embarrassment, they publicly announced his wellness policy suspensions and his release when it happened. I just thought that in his death that the notice they posted should have been 100% respectful and it wasn't.

[Emperor Smeat]

:wavesad: Umaga/Eddie Fatu

Had a good run with the Umaga character and looked to be headed into a better position before he got cut from the WWE.

[CWK]

Because the WWE doesn't work with the independent company and realistically anyone concerned about getting compassion from wwe.com probably has their head up their ass.

Well actually, in defense of that. i remember when Vince showed a soft side and showed compassion by letting Kurt Angle out of his deal back in 2006 when Kurt was in real bad shape.

Its good that Kurt pulled the wool over Vince's eyes though on that one because Vince deserved it. He screwed over so many other people.

[Skippord]

holy shit

wow

[CWK]

Nevermind Vince or Kurt Angle right now.

Long Live UMAGA!!!!!!

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

R.I.P Eddie "Umaga" Fatu.

[thedamndest]

They publicly announce everyone's wellness policy suspensions. You really aren't indicating to me how telling everyone that he didn't work there at the time of his death is disrespectful.

Also, it isn't really the WWE's fault they would put something like that up there. When a wrestler dies, who is the first person Nancy Graces calls. The WWE. Writing when he stopping working for the company is just answering a question everyone is already going to ask.

[CWK]

They could have put his career information in a separate post on their site.

[thedamndest]

Did you even go to the WWE website?

http://www.wwe.com/superstars/wwealumni/umaga/

[D Mac]

RIP. I'm gonna make a story on Smackdown vs Raw 2010 in his honor. Him running through people basically.

[thedamndest]

Juan, if you're still looking for threads to delete I nominate this one.

[D Mac]

I remember actually marking out when him and Great Khali suddenly went at it in a match where they were both heels.

[XL]

I really see no problem here.

WWE dumped Eddie Fatu cos he was a druggie. In fact, I think they sacked him cos he refused the help they offered him. He died (presumably) due to this reason. Why shouldn't they dissassociate themselves with the guy?

Yeah it's sad that the guy has passed at a young age, but WWE/Vince tried to help him, they should not shoulder any blame here. In noting when he left the company they are distancing themselves.

It would have been harse if the sentence read: Mr. Fatu was under contract with WWE at various time periods and most recently performed under the name "Umaga." Mr. Fatu's contract was terminated on June 11, 2009 when he wouldn't accept our offer to help him through the drug addiction that no doubt played a part in his eventual death.

[Cool King]

his Royal Rumble match with John Cena was fantastic.

If WWE put a graphic of him in his memory, it should be of his scariest pose.

Goodbye, Samoan Bulldozer...we'll miss you and your patented Samoan Spike.:'(:wavesad:

TOTALLY Agree here... It sux that he is gone, and it's very sad... My heart goes out to his family... Unfortunately, business is business... Drug addiction is a sad thing if this was the case...

[What Would Kevin Do?]

RIP

[Nark Order]

God damnit, man. RIP.

[Juan]

Man this fucking sucks.

RIP

[LuigiD]

damn..that is fucking crazy. I came home from the library and checked TPWW only to find those crappy ass news. I went to eat dinner, came back and he is gone. RIP.

[RGWhat316]

Kinda tough to hear about what was going on just a few hours ago, then almost have to wait for the news. Really sad to hear. My prayers go out to the family of The Saaaaamoan Bulldozer, Umaga! RIP to Eddie Fatu.

[NeanderCarl]

He shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary him, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember him.

R.I.P. Oooooooomaga

[Team Sheep]

RIP Umaga :(

I was just gonna say though as soon as I heard about this, WWE dodged a bullet here by firing him when they did. Sad but true. :$

[Innovator]

RIP Umanga

[Xero]

Heard about this from HS.

RIP Umaga. :(

[Tazz Dan]

:'(

RIP

[Xero]

Really, I thought Umaga was pretty great. The man got a cartoon gimmick over pretty damn well in a believable way. In today's landscape that's pretty rare. He was also really good in the ring. Umaga vs Cena from the Rumble was a damn good brawl.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Three minutes and he's outta here. :'(

[Schlomey]

gutted just don't cut it tonight fellas :(

[kareru]

another wrestler gone guys, this happens far to often for my liking

[Schlomey]

But what do you plan to do about it is the question!!!??!!

[Lock Jaw]

Damn. RIP Umaga. He was really the first "monster" character since Kane's original run that I could really get behind and enjoy watching.

[Schlomey]

His LMS match with John Cena totally made me love and respect him. That was his best match...and possibly Cena's

[screech]

God dammit

RIP Umanga :(

LONG LIVE THE SAMOAN BULLDOZER........ UUUUUUUUUMAGA!!!!!!

Hush. They mentioned him, which they didn't have to do, and in this case even mentioning him is probably not good for them. This isn't a new low, and I don't suppose we can hold off bitching about WWE for a while, given someone's dead....

[ClockShot]

R.I.P.

:'(

[Droford]

For whatever reason Im just ..meh..

and I was kinda upset over Test's death so I mean..this is kinda wierd.

[Stealth-Icon]

I missed having Umaga on TV bulldozing and spiking through people. RIP Umaga!! You will be missed.

[Mr. JL]

R.I.P. Umaga

[PorkSoda]

omg. RIP Umaga.

I haven't been paying much attention, but did Umaga get released from WWE or is he still under contract?

People's deaths just come out of nowhere. Seriously....this is a shocker.

[Xero]

Umaga was released a while ago. If I remember correctly, he refused rehab.

He was recently working the Hulkamania tour in Australia. As freaky as it is, his last opponent was Kennedy.

Kennedy is fucking cursed.

[PapaGeorgio]

In regards to the debate about is it respectful to post the release date or not. http://www.wwe.com/ Currently on the WWE mainpage, the top story "UMAGA PASSES" wait for the auto story scroll thing to go to the next story "DISRESPECTING THE DEADMAN"

[Xero]

And then it goes onto shilling merch.

Sounds about right.

[TerranRich]

Gotta love people who don't read threads.

Yes, Umaga was let go about 6 months ago. :)

[Theo Dious]

Umaga was released a while ago. If I remember correctly, he refused rehab.

I don't care what anyone else says, that is funny as hell.

[el bobbo]

That's pretty damn crass. Someone in the internet marketing/PR department should be punished.

Umaga was always pretty interesting to watch. Really mobile for a big man. Sad that he got addicted to drugs and passed away at such a young age :(

[DrA]

Probably my favorite wrestler of the last few years.

[FourFifty]

Everyman must walk the path that is put in front of him. Eddie Fatu took a darker path and had hope and help along the way. Sadly, the help was ignored....
This sucks, but I'm not going to say that I'm really that sad. He had more than one shot to get clean. Yea, sometimes it's just the sins of our pasts one step behind us (like Eddy and Hawk) but other people do not get the chance to get better soon enough.

Rest in peace, Umaga... And thank you.

[Droford]

Probably my favorite wrestler of the last few years.

Im sorry..but..I dont get that at all.

I know he's dead and all, but I could name 40 wrestlers probably who I would have on a list of favorite wrestlers of the last few years ahead of him. He'd be right ahead of Santino and that surfer dude that was on ECW for a while.

[DrA]

I don't care.

[Kalyx triaD]

Numb to this sort of deal now.

[Gray]

What, did someone else drop dead after wrestling Kennedy that I hadn't heard about?

Eddie Guerrero.

Maybe Kennedy just shouldn't wrestle wrestlers with the name Eddie, seems like a bad omen for him.

Real shame about Umaga though, i actually enjoyed him while he was in WWE and was actually thinking about him and some of his moves a few days ago, really weird.

[GD]

R.I.P. Umaga :(

[Droford]

Eddie Guerrero.

Somebody book Kennedy vs Beefcake, we gotta see if this is a real thing or not.

[Tornado]

RIP Umaga

Can't remember a big man that could move like him.

[GD]

His Intercontinental Championship defense against Jeff Hardy at the Great American Bash was so good.

[Theo Dious]

That's pretty damn crass. Someone in the internet marketing/PR department should be punished.

Oh for crying out loud. It was an unfortunate coincidence. There have probably been a hundred WWE.com headlines calling the Undertaker the Deadman, it's no more insulting than if an ad for Tombstone pizza popped up on the same website reporting a murder.

[Super V]

It is amazing at how the straws are being grasped here just to run down WWE.

[Kane Knight]

In regards to the debate about is it respectful to post the release date or not. http://www.wwe.com/ Currently on the WWE mainpage, the top story "UMAGA PASSES" wait for the auto story scroll thing to go to the next story "DISRESPECTING THE DEADMAN"

That's royally fucked.

I mean, mistakes happen. but seriously, you'd think they would have caught THAT.

[addy2hotty]

Personally, I think there's a bigger insult further down the site.

'Be a Champion of savings' - really rubs it in to these broke wrestlers that can't get a job, even with TNA.

Bastards.

[Rammsteinmad]

R.I.P.

This is really sad, especially coz he was so young.

:(

[Stickman]

Who had him in the pool?

[The Gold Standard]

I was a fan of Umaga because I thought, despite his size, he was very agile. He could do moves other wrestlers half his size couldn't do.

R.I.P. Umaga

[#1-norm-fan]

You know what I find even more ironic than the fact that Umaga's last match, much like Eddy's was against Kennedy?

Tonight Armando Estrada will wrestle in his final match... and it will be againt Kennedy. :wtf:

[CWK]

You know what I find even more ironic than the fact that Umaga's last match, much like Eddy's was against Kennedy?

Kennedy should be afraid to wrestle people. He must feel horrible.

[KayfabeMan]

I had a few dealings with Eddie. He was an alright guy. R.I.P.

[RVDmark]

Wow, really didnt expect to see this on the front page after a week away. So long Umanga you will be missed.

I was looking forward to him coming back at some point too. I'll be honest I found him really bland for quite a while, but towards the end of his most recent WWE tenure I was really enjoying what he was doing. Like has been said before, given the gimmick he got, he did a lot with it. A great talent.

[Blue Demon]

It's unfortunate, he made a good monster heel. It seems the Anoai'i family is becoming the next Von Erich family, albeit they're dying differently.

[Droford]

Theres a store here that sells outdated merchandise and they have a ton of WWE stuff, and one of the items was the huge inflatable Umaga thing that you were supposed to beat up. I almost bought it but they wanted $10 for it and that is about $9 more than what I would pay for it.

[Xero]

You know, I was just at a store that I know has been selling one of those big Umaga statues for like $5. Forgot to look for it.

God I'm a dick. :-\

[Mr. C]

Have CM Punk dicuss the evils of drug abuse, using Umaga as an example of why he has to do what he’s doing. The company that employed him even tried to help him, but he was too set in his ways and wouldn’t accept the help because he was blind to reality. The reality is that Umaga is dead. He died because of all of the drugs that he was taking. Punk and Rikishi get some beef due to Punk disrespecting Umaga, so they have a feud, all the while Punk is hyping up the fact that he doesn’t feel safe on SmackDown with Rikishi returning, until a few weeks down the road, the match is signed for the Royal Rumble.

At some point in the match, Punk goes to get a chair, then hits Rikishi, causing the disqualification, and lays him out.

Punk goes on and recaptures the Intercontinental title. Punk defends the title vs. Rikishi, and Rikishi becomes Intercontinental Champion. Punk spends the next several weeks trying to regain the title, culminating in a title shot at WrestleMania. The match is no disqualification. During the match, Luke Gallows comes down to help Punk. Punk steals the victory and wins the title.
