Together, Lance and Juicy are actually called the “Samoan Swat Team” in MLW.ĭuring the late 2000s, WWE employed Afa Anoa’i Jr. His tag team partner is Juicy Finau, who is a 6’4 450 pound BEAST. He’s 31 years old, 6’1″ and around 230 pounds. Otherwise, as I look through the Anoa’i family tree, you have Lance Anoa’i who also works for MLW and is 1/2 of their existing MLW Tag Champions. He has too much talent and he’s in the peak of his career. But it’s worth it and Jacob Fatu SHOULD be in the WWE. ![]() With Jacob Fatu reportedly under contract with MLW until 2025, it would take a contract buyout to join the WWE. Come on, WWE… Look who runs your company! I’m not condoning it, but he was a teenager then and he’s a 31 year old man now. What is that criminal record, you say? Armed robbery when he was 18 years old. Reportedly for Jacob Fatu, he has a “criminal record” that has kept him out of the WWE. Jacob is also the son of Sam Fatu, who was 1/2 of the great Samoan Swat Team as “Samu” with his cousin “Fatu”, who would later become Rikishi. He has been working for Major League Wrestling (MLW) for the past 4 years and is their current champion. He’s a 6’1″, 280 pound monster who is very talented, agile, and physical to make a perfect addition. The PEFECT candidate for retooling the Bloodline is Jacob Fatu, who is a real life cousin to both Roman Reigns and the Usos. This could create an OUT for Roman Reigns to officially turn babyface again and/or cause him to lose his WWE Universal Title. Then, the new members of the own group are just too much for Roman to contain and all want to take over the Bloodline. My point is that Roman Reigns needs to take a page out of Faarooq’s playbook and attempt to restock the Bloodline but attempt to make it better than ever. However, he he was solid for TNA wrestling during their early days. D’Lo was a solid wrestler, but sadly wasn’t the same after the Drozdov accident for the WWE. Faarooq retooled himself and became an Acolyte with Bradshaw, eventually the Acolyte Protection Agency (APA) that went on for many years. Godfather was a staple of the Attitude Era, as was the bizarre love affairs that Mark Henry had as “Sexual Chocolate”. Rock kept growing and by Survivor Series 1998, he was World Champion. The Rock became too much and by the Spring of 1998, the group was done and everyone went their separate ways (very successful, I might add). Meanwhile, D’Lo was a solid midcarder who proved that he didn’t always need the group to succeed.Īs Rocky Maivia began to morph more into “The Rock”, Faarooq’s leadership within the group began to dwindle… Remember that time when the Rock gave the other NoD members Rolex watches and gave Faarooq a portrait of him? Faarooq, in attempts to reboot and rebuild the Nation of Domination, found himself overwhelmed with the newer personalities added to the group. Kama, Rocky, and Mark Henry would begin to find their individuality within the group, as Kama began morphing into the Godfather, Rocky Maivia became “The Rock”, and Mark Henry became “Sexual Chocolate”. Instantly, the Nation of Domination was more powerful than the previous version… BUT, what Faarooq did was to rebuild the group too well and it cost him in the long-run. Faarooq would add some amazing talents that were set to breakout immediately and in the future years with Kama Mustafa (became the Godfather), Rocky Maivia, and Mark Henry. What Faarooq did in retooling the Nation of Domination, however, is what Roman Reigns should do for rebooting the Bloodline.įaarooq kept D’Lo Brown in the group, who was a loyal member just like Solo has been loyal to the Bloodline. Savio and Crush would find their own buddies and form their own stables, Disciples of Apocalypse and Los Boricuas. However, the group just didn’t work, so Faarooq kicked out both Savio Vega and Crush, while the PG-13 tag team just went away. That said, the initial Nation of Domination actually had diversity with D’Lo Brown, Crush, Savio Vega, and the PG-13 Tag Team. The stable was meant to have some resemblance to groups that surrounded Malcom X or even the Black Panther Party with Faarooq resembling NFL legend Jim Brown’s look. ![]() WE ARE THE NATION… The NATION OF DOMINATION!ĭuring late 1996, Faarooq Asad (aka Ron Simmons) was done with his gladiator gimmick and began appearing as the leader of a new stable known as the Nation of Domination. It’s simple… Turn to history and what another stable did. The Bloodline is gonna collide, brotha!īut what happens after this tag match at MITB? Now, for the upcoming PLE, WWE Money in the Bank 2023, we’ll see the Usos taking on Roman/Solo. At Smackdown this past Friday, the Bloodline stable fully split with the Usos both collectively leaving the group after a few weeks of drama following the last Paid Live Event.
