Yes, it's nice seeing him getting inducted... though they should have included his past accolades prior to being "Rikishi".
Was a mainstay with the WWE for a very long time going through various character changes along the way.
He was a tag team champion as part of the Headshrinkers (then managed by Capt. Lou Albano). One of the agile heavyweights during the "New WWF Generation" along with Yokozuna, Bam Bam Bigelow, Undertaker; that splash off the top rope still looked gracefully executed despite his near-300 lb weight.
Then went to become an english-speaking homeboy with his "time to clean it up & make a difference" act during mid 1990s (was always speaking something in samoan during his time as a Headshrinker). This was more like his transistion period... his character as The Sultan didn't make much of a difference though.
Attitude Era: He became Rikishi Phatu (shortened to Rikishi) incorporating his Samoan heritage to his character. Pretty much retained his homeboy image when he aligned with Too Cool... & then came his famed patented move: the Stink Face.
