HMmmmmmmm.......Rikishi Phatu? Did he use his arse as a deadly weapon lots?
That he did...and then he was fired for being overweight even though that was his 'gimmick'. She's a fickle mistress is that business called show. Mainstream American wrestling is priceless simply because it's probbaly the closest thing they have to pantomime over there. Once you get over the fact that nobody actually cares that it's hilariously staged it's actually hugely enjoyable. To my mind, at least
It starts to deteriorate the minute you try and justify it as anything above a bunch of big blokes in tights slapping each other about...whoever figured Americans would buy into something like that was clearly a genius xD
