Remember UMAGA...

[ELNIOJR]

Today i found myself watching vídeos of Eddie 'UMAGA' Fatu. Honestly, this guy has been Wrestling Biggest LOST for the past 2 years. He was just AMAZING. He was a Beast, with incredible ABILITY and Flexibility, He was SUPER AGILE for a SUPER Heavyweight.

And You know what? UMAGA is one of the few guys (along with Bobby Lashley) , and i repeat few, who for seconds used to make me feel like Wrestling was REAL.:) I used to love that SAMOAN SPIKE!

I enjoyed all his matches, against Jeff Hardy for example, with John Cena was always a WAR! I feel like that guys had a lot chemistry with him.

And of course...I always Thought he DESERVED BETTER THINGS...i mean a World Tittle :(
He was a TRUE WRESTLER...

RIP UMAGA!

Man I miss him so much. His version of the Black Hole Slam is so much better than Abyss'. He was good at getting other people over, he made Jeff look good in this match. I remember the run he had with Cena late 06-07 was amazing he actually made Cena look awesome.

This brings me back. Some people say the product hasn't been good since the Attitude Era but this is when I loved it. This time is was what inspired me to do backyard wrestling and teach myself how to "wrestle." Even though I new it was fake and I new what was going on backstage, I would still mark out for all the faces. I loved it.

Watching that reminded me of a few things. One, Randy was a great heel back then, now he's a great tweener but I like the heel version better.. Two, I miss JR, he was the greatest of all time at the table, he made every match watchable, even Khali's. Three, Jeff can do amazing things if paired with the right guy.

umaga was my favourite wrestler until he sadly passed 2 years ago. he shouldve been given a push to he world title in 2007 in his fued against cena . he was extremely talented and wrestling has been a bit empty since eddie fatu passed.

RIP EDDIE (UMAGA) FATU

That was a great match. Agreed with Irken's comment, he could definitely put people over. Its a shame, without a doubt. Armando Estrada (dont know the spelling) was quite entertaining too!

[Grinchin]

Especially since right before they let him go, he started talking. He had the looks of an AWESOME fued with CM Punk started.

[Iron Ape]

He never should have been split from Estrada. Whoever's idea it was to make him talk should have been smacked with a gym sock full of buffalo nickels.

[Grinchin]

Its cause the crowd started loving Estrada, or atleast saying his name.. I know I did.

TOTALLY Agree With You Man!

1 - Absolutelly! I remeber a lot of Battles his against Jeff...because those was indeed BATTLES. For the IC Championship, Steel Cage, Fall Counts Anywhere Match. I alson remember a last man standing match against John Cena at RRumble with blood and everything, which it took John Cena 2 STF with the ROPES to Beat him. I dont think Cena is that Bad, but one think i do know. He always looked AWESOME when he faced UMAGA!

2 - 2006/7 was the time that i followed Wrestling and WWE more regularity and it was a lot fun. Hell it was TV-14, UMAGA, John Cena wasn't That Boring, Shawn Michaels, Cruiseweight Tittle still alive, ECW with RVD, CM Punk and so Much more.

3 - Simple Putted:
JR is The BEST!
Legend Killer Better than The Viper. DAMN i remember Randy Orton kicking people in the Head, HBK, Dusty Rhodes, all those attacks from behind against John Cena, That RKO that TOOK RVD Out...The Beast Bobby Lashley and his Feud with UMAGA...


JUST AMAZING...Those was good times as well.
We're not asking for Attitude Era, just 2005/6. That's all...

That's a stupid reason for splitting them up, if that was the case.

Umaga was one hell of a wrestler, and has done this brown man proud. I remember clearly the Falls count anywhere match, and the Last man standing match with Cena. Jeff himself said that that match with Umaga was his best match ever. And the match with Cena was insane! Not only did Umaga show that he belonged in the main event, but he survived Cenas "devestating" STFs and kept getting up, but he also made Cena look good in the ring. I have missed him and hope he is at peace now.

[IPEEINTHESHOWER]

Hello SHOWERHEADS and SPRINKLERS of all ages. I enjoyed Umaga as well. He was in every sense of the words the Samoan Bulldozer. His
http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/375/umagasamoanspike03ft0.gif was one of the few finishers that looked like it could kill his opponent. For a big guy he had all the talent in the world, just look at this http://i32.tinypic.com/e8o2kg.gif
Not to many big guys can or will do this http://img348.imageshack.us/img348/7458/umagaflyingsausage02pb0.gif
I hope he is at peace now, he sure was one of the most amazing athletes I have ever seen.

U MIRIN?

i think people forget to mention that was the same guy who used to be Jamal in 3 Minute Warning!

This. But the biggest problem with them having him talk, was the announcers not making a BIG deal about it. They just brushed it off.

The only thing I know for a fact stopped because of the crowd was Armando doing his "My name is" bit.

He was in TNA for a bit, I believe.

Thats true! I forgot that..

Aren't that many atheletic big guys but they are worth the watch.

Big guys that are high flyers and not really dependent on just power should be in any show. Vinnie should realize that all power big guys won't cut it.

Heidenreich may have had nice feet, to Snitsky, at least..

They would have been a beast tag team but I would avoid that xD
