Outside of the race wars from the WWF in 97-98 non whites dont typically make it in factions. Except y'know....Batista in Evolution (guy's Fillipino) and Booker T leading the King's Court stable as #1 heel on Smackdown. Don't make this a race issue. Shame Manu got released, he should've been paired with Umaga. The guy is a good wrestler, he just got used in completely the wrong way. He's a big, athletic Samoan who isn't the best talker. Thus he should've been used like Umaga.

His cause wasn't helped by the fact that he was booked to llok like the weak link in Legacy, and also when Orton absolutely buried him in a promo. Well when you look like the metrosexual version of Umaga you know your getting the pink slip ;D

Its not a racial issue its a factual issue and it spreads across multiple promotions. Its just proving a point. It might make you uncomnfortable but it doesnt make it any less true.

Randy's of French/German/Indian descent yet that never came up... I was talking race not nationality/... just drop it anyway, no offense to you or anyone else intended. But what I said is fact, thats all and rather than watch this denegrate into something other than the point I was trying to make I'd say we just end that and pretend I said "Manu looks dumb" instead out of respect to the person who started the thread which he intended to be about Manu, not wrestling factions and their diversity.

He was such a mismatch in Legacy. ^^TBH Orton is the only pretty member of them (I say that in a non-gay way). Rhodes' eyes are a bit funny and I don't think many women are screaming at the sight of Dibiase lol. i happen to be one those women

I never bought him in Legacy. I mean, Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase and sons of well-known legends and Manu was the son of some tag team guy, it just dosen't go.

He could play golf and wear Bermuda shorts. His favorite TV show could be 'According to Jim'. His theme music could be something from Matchbox 20.

Frankly, from seeing his work in DSW, dude would have been MUCH better off as a straight up tag team wrestler. His work with Sonny Siaki as a tag team was great stuff. It's a pity he wasn't able to perform to his potential on the grand stage. Ya, I'd have just put him in a tagteam too. I'm a big tagteam guy in the first place and second as a tagteam member he can get in and go balls-out for a little while then get a break. I thought he was worth further development.

Too much heavy breathing? He could have been better, but he was too short to be the muscle of the group.
