Well i have been thinking of doing some sort of thread about Umaga for a while,but havent done it. I'm going to state the reasons why i like him and ask for your opinions on Umaga and i don't want replies like "OmGz He Is An A$$". I would like people who actually have an opinion on it.
Right one of Umaga's best attributes is his in ring skills, I think they really suit his gimmick and i love the way once he gets going his moves flow from one move to another.
His moves are very underrated i mean the one were he runs from one side of the ring to hit the man sitting in the corner, looks very painfull and would hurt anyone. All you have to do is watch the head snap back. Recently he has also been doing the throw slam thing which for me looks like a good 2nd finisher. Ino the Samoan spike isn't the best finisher in the WWE but by god it fits the gimmick greatly.
I'm guessing that most people will say that Umaga is bad because he doesn't have any mic skills and doesn't say much, but i have to say that i think him not talking and just speaking in Samoan(Or whatever he says), Does him justice and shows that he is a monster.
He has a great manager who can do the talking for him, Someone who i really like on the mic, The rolling of the R's are funny as hell and with the crowd copying him really shows how over he is becoming. He also has a link with Umaga like when he calls for the Samoan Spike with the snapping of the Cigar.
His Gimmick is also potentially good and ino it has been done with the likes of Kamala, Who was really comic and not serious and Rikishi was similar but was no were near as good as Umaga in the ring, Ino Kamala had a manager who could do his mic work for him but i dont think he would touch AAE when it comes to work on the stick. Aswell Rikishi didn't have good mic skills and droned alot.
What i think is good is the way the WWE are building him up as a monster and having an undefeated streak(Yes like Samoa Joe) and having him go over talents like Cena, HBK and maybe even HHH next week.
Umaga looks like he is going to have a bright future and i think he will reach the top and become a superstar. Possibly getting that Mainevent push by the end of this year.
Your Thoughts?
