Umaga
Trending
Without doubt one of the most memorable Samoan wrestlers to have worked in WWE. Umaga can be considered one of the most exciting characters that WWE has given a big man in the company. Despite starting with a comparatively stale character named Jamal, he was then repackaged as Umaga that made it possible for him to live up to his family’s name.
Umaga a.k.a Edward Fatu began his career in WWE as Jamal where he was paired with his cousin as Rosey. The duo were named 3-minute warning and lasted close to a year. Fatu then was released from WWE and he worked in All Japan Pro-Wrestling. Following a brief stint there he returned back to WWE and was introduced as Umaga which was reminiscent of Rikishi’s Headshirker gimmick. Fatu gained a lot of popularity as Umaga as he was right away introduced as a moster. He remained unbeaten for over a year and this streak was finally broken by John Cena. Umaga then had a memorable last man standing match against John Cena.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
He was then chosen as Vince McMahon’s representative for the ‘Battle of Billionare’ match where he fought against Bobby Lashley who represented Donald Trump. After losing this match, Umaga went on to feud with Lashley. Santino Marella defeating Umaga for the Intercontinental title was one of the most exciting matches of his career. Sadly Umaga lost his life due to a overdose in 2009.
6. Vader
Vader
For a man of his size, it was almost impossible to imagine the moves he managed to pull out in the ring. at 450 pounds Vader managed to moonsault from the top of the ring which till date remains one of the most shocking move from a giant. Vader was worked with a lot of organizations in Japan, Mexico and was a strong part of WCW. Though his run with WWE wasn’t very impressive his abilities in the ring alone have earned him a spot in this list.
His most memorable stint was with WCW which lasted 5 years. He feuded with top stars like Mick Foley, Psycho Sid and Hulk Hogan. He made his WWE debut in 1996 and was involved in small feuds The British Bulldog and Yokozuna. He then went on to feud against Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker which lasted for a year. After this he was put in several feuds against Goldust, Kane etc. He was then relegated to being a jobber for a while after which Vader felt it right to quit the company.
