This guy lives near me here in Spring. Recently he refused to take a drug test for a banned substance and was subsequently suspended from WWE. He has been touring with Hulk Hogan since the suspension in Japan.

I wanna be your lover...
Obviously, despite all that rolling around inthe ring, wrestling is NOT a cardio sport. RIP.
He had been in the main events over the last 3 years and had a good run as the WWE's top heel. His brothers are Rikishi and the Tonga Kid.
He had just finished the Hulk Hogan tour of Australia about a week ago.

Been around for about 8 years.
he came into the WWE as part of a tag team named 3 Minute Warning, meaning you had 3 minutes before you got your arse whipped. :lol:
He was named ROSIE then.
Like someone else said, he got banned because of refused or positive drug test and came back later as Umaga.
He was in line for the WWE title match on Smackdown but all of a sudden disappeared off the show about 4 months ago.
He had just got back last month for 1 match and then disappeared again.

The WWE is the WWF. They had to change the name from WWF because of a lawsuit by the World Wildlife Foundation. RIP Umaga.

It was the same back then.
Who can forget The "Big Cat" Ernie Ladd skit when he was the Mid-South Champion and his fued with "Uncle Tom" Ray Candy. :lol:
Big Cat held onto the title for about a year and lost to Ray candy every time they wrestled.
How did he do it?
He put a lawyer on his payroll and ole boy got the decision "overturned" in court every time and the championship belt went back to the Big cat. :lol:

Watch RAW & SMACKDOWN! every week; really did miss Umaga and wondered what had happened. Read the story last week and didn't think anyone on the Boards was into WWE. Thanx for posting this.
RIP, UMAGA!

If you get the vidoe game Raw vs Smackdown 2010-he appears on it despite being fired earlier.
Watch ECW on SyFy- it's LESS soap opera since it's an hour show and we might have a brother as ECW champ come Tuesday.
The NWA is still around it's just depends on where you live now.
What do youl think about Kofi Kingston's chaces of being a WWE champ some day? Looks like they are really getting behind him with the high profile feud with Orton. That spot on Raw a few weeks ago from MSG, putting Orton through the table, made him a star. All they had to do was have him quit talking with that fake Jamaican accent and be more serious. They have a lot of brothers there now and even the Divas have representation. Alicia Fox!!!!
