If these guys were around today, they would be playing NFL football after serving 4 years at a Pac ten university. Afa and Sika ruled the tag team circuit in the mid 80's during the heyday of professional wrestling. The Samoans held 21 tag team championships around the world. Did you hear that...Around the world.

In the early 1980s, the Wild Samoans joined the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF). They made their Madison Square Garden debut on January 21, 1980 in a WWF Tag Team Championship match against Tito Santana and Ivan Putski, who retained their title. In the upcoming months, both men became contenders for Bob Backlund's WWF Championship, but neither man won the gold. They, however, won their first championship in the WWF, the tag team championship, by defeating Santana and Putski on April 12, 1980. They reigned as champions for approximately five months, until dropping the title to Backlund and Pedro Morales in a two out of three falls match at Showdown at Shea. Because Backlund was already the reigning WWF Champion, the team had to forfeit the title, and a tournament was held to crown new tag champions. On September 8, 1980, the Wild Samoans defeated Tony Garea and Rene Goulet in the tournament finals to win the title. Their reign lasted for one month, until they lost to Garea and his new partner, Rick Martel. The Wild Samoans feuded with the champions for the rest of the year, but they were not able to recapture the gold.
Have you ever thought about training at the Wild Samoan training center? Well, you can do that right here if you feel the blood pumping in your veins.
Again, The Wild Samoans bring me back to a better place.
