The Wild Ones-Superstars Profile#49

The Wild Samoans 

Real names: (A) Afa Anoa'i (S) Leati Sika Anoa'i

Home: The Isle of Samoa 

Membership: Afa, Sika, Captain Lou Albano

A.K.A.: The Samoans, the Islanders

Finisher: Samoan Drop

Background: Wild men were a dime a dozen. A few actually were what they appeared to be, lords of various jungles or lost worlds, etc. Heroes and villains alike tended to use the image for various reasons. For brothers Afa and Sika, they grew up watching hero High Chief, but they found crime far easier. 

That's when Captain Lou found them. There they stood, back to back the only men standing after the worst (or best) bar brawl the captain had ever seen. Seeing an opportunity, he introduced himself and soon he had the best earners he'd ever had. They did pretty well too, but when McMahon Jr. took over they headed west to Japan. They came back after a fashion, but it wasn't the same.
