WOW! The description of the video is wrong.I never knew this. This is not The Tonga Kid aka Tama of the Islanders. Its Samu of th e Headshrinkers. He may have used the nickname Tonga Kid on house shows. I never knew he had a stinf in the WWE in the 1980s. Classic footage.
This never went anywhere. The Tonga Kid was set up as Snuka's cousin then they put this out there as another cousin of his. The gimmick seems to have had run course for the time.
@reggie46404 Nope it is his cousin Samu from the Samoan Swat Team and later became 1 tag team with Rakishi called the Head Shrinkers. His cousin took over the Tonga Kid Gimmick when Rakishi brother "Sam" was fired. Sam looks dead on like Rakishi.
@blackshogun77 Your dead wrong. That is Samula from the Samoan Swat Team. Samula is Rakishi tag team partner from the Head Shrinker. The original actor for the Tonga kid gimmick was Rakishi younger brother Samuelu Fatu. Samuelu was fired from the wwf and then Samula who is in this video is AFA son. FYI Solofa Fatu aka Rakishi Samuelu Fatu aka The Tonga Kid and Eddie Fatu aka Umaga are all blood brothers. How I know this? Well those are my uncles.
@brat4thawln also,Samoan 2 (Sika) is the father of the Tonga Kid,I learned this many years ago when a policeman friend of my cousin,arrested Sika for being drunk in public,the Tonga Kid came to bail him out
@mizznesian It was use because at the time they had 4 islanders. The barbarian=Tongan Haku=Tongan Snuka=Fijian Big Sam Fatu=Samoan. The reason for that name is because they wanted another islander tag team. So they threw Haku and Big Sam together. Out of respect for Haku Sam took the name the Tonga Kid and ran with it.
Tonga kid is Rikishi and Umaga's brother
