Long before I knew he was the father of a GOAT, I knew he was a terrifying heel who had Hulk Hogan shook on Saturday Night's Main Event. What an awesome career and legacy.
Thank you Sika.

My condolences to the Anoa’i Family with the passing of Sika. As a kid, he was someone I was scared of. When I became a wrestler, I still had fear but that fear turned in to respect and love as the Anoa’i Family accepted my brothers and I
