Professional Wrestler. One of World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) top stars during the Ruthless Aggression Era & a member of the iconic Anoa'i wrestling family. After completing his training with his uncle Afa Anoa'i Sr, he debuted in 1995, working on independents until he signed with WWE. In his first WWE run, he was a member of The 3 Minute Warning alongside his cousin, Rosey, with Rico, who later became affiliated with the duo as a manager & sporadic wrestler. When his first WWE run was over in 2003, he went on to join All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) in a faction known as RO&D (Roughly Obsess & Destroy) along with D'lo Brown, Barry "Bull" Buchanan, TAKA Michinoku & Taiyo Kea (who he went onto win tag team gold with). When he returned to WWE in 2005, he was repackaged as Umaga, who re-debuted in April 2006 on the RAW brand, attacking Ric Flair and later becoming one of the company's top heels and a semi-main eventer. In his final WWE run, he proclaimed his greatest success by winning the Intercontinental Championship twice during a rivalry with Jeff Hardy. His last major wrestling appearance was for Hulk Hogan's Australian tour in late 2009.
