r..
. I first remember you and fatu in world class championship wrestling, where
you guys did battle with the simpson brothers. did you enjoy working for the
legendary texas promotion?
2. You and fatu had a match with the steiners at wm9 which i feel was the best
match of that event. How was it working with a team like the steiners?
3. In the NWA you and fatu had some classic matches with the road warriors some
of the best the nwa ever had. But it always seemed like you and fatu never got
the push you deserved, do you think the nwa wasted the sst talent?
4. when you came to the wwf why did you do away with the sst name? Who came
up with the haed shrinkers?
5. I remember right after you and fatu lost the belts to nash and michaels you
were replaced by the barbarian. what happened did you and the wwf have a falling
out?
6. With your uncle and father having a reputation for being 1 of the best tag
teams of alltime did you and fatu feel alot of pressure in the beginning?
7. Out of all the promotions you wrestled for which would you say was your favorite
to work for?
8. at wm10 it was supposed to be you, fatu, irs, jeff jarrett and rick martel
taking on bob holly, the 123 kid, smoking gunns and tatanka. but at the last
second they came up with an angle where you and your partners were arguing over
who was gonna be the captain. The match never took place, why was that?
9. In your mind who was the greatest tag team of alltime?
