Greatest Samoan Wrestler that isn't The Rock?
 

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?

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

Hillbilly Jim

Um? Dude I'm pwetty suwe dat Hiwwbiwwy Jim wasth a caucashian? Sho unwesh you have shometing WEAL to contribute? I would appweciate it if any modewatows handy would wemove dis guy because he is going to cause a wot of pwobwems.

I like hillbilly Jim don't be racist yo just cuz he ain't one of them island savages

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?

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.

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

Great thread

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

I say Afa and Sika.

I'll say Yokozuna then.

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

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

Im pretty stoned but this made me almost cum with laughter

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

Rick Martel.

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

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

The one who did it for The Rock of course!

:shifty:

I didn't know Rikishi was samoan, I just thought he was fat

DUUUUUUH

Its in his name

SAMOA JOE

Rikiski and Umaga are brothers


Read this all for the wholefamily story

Yokozuina, Umaga and Rosey are cousins...wow. seem much more different in age.

Haku

'The Samoan Bulldog' Umanga.

From Tonga

You're only Samoan if you use a Samoan drop

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?

I'd say Nikolai Volkoff :|

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

Yokozuna

there are no points for second place boys

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

gotta go with The Rock's grandfather

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.
