Try Samoa Joe.
Don't give me the "Umaga is a Joe rip off" crap. Even Samoa Joe already came out saying Umaga isn't ripping him off.Quote:

Fat, samoan, "undefeated" streak, touted as being monsters when in all actuality they are both quite mediocre, both are getting undeserved pushes. get with it.
Umaga sucks. Joe sucks. Who cares if it's a rip off?
How the fuck would Samoa Joe know it wasn't a rip off? Does he work for the WWE creative team? Was he the one who came up with the character? No! He had no say in the matter.Quote:

And Umaga pWn's! It maybe old fashioned, but it's still a working gimmick.
He's actuallly Rikishi's brother I believe, and The Rock's cousin.
All of wrestling copies the older times. It's the simplest formula. The NWO was just an idea that worked in Japan.
Can you say Papa Shango?
Umaga is nothing different but a guy who has been through like 5 different gimmicks.
Umaga is Umaga. Stop compairing him. He one of the few big man who can jump off the ropes in WWE. He has great wrestling skill and it has yet to be seen if he has ant mic skill, because he never talks. I have also noticed he is starting to lose weight whch will only help his mobility in the ring. If the evolve Umaga like Kane and let him talk he may be able to one day be the face of a brand.
