Does anyone know why Manu was kicked out of Legacy? He was no worse than Cody Rhodes or Ted Dibiase. I have yet to even see a good match from either Rhodes or Dibiase (despite the fact that I REALLY want to like Dibiase, as I was a HUGE fan of his father.) I did however think that a match Manu had on a Raw with Batista was extremely underrated. Why was he just dropped all of a sudden? Because he wasn't a mid 20s oiled up moody male model? Basically, I am asking what makes Rhodes and Dibiase so damn special in the eyes of WWE.

I think Manu and Umaga should team up myself. I'd mark out for that.

Batista and Ted Jr. had a good match on Superstars.

Too wild looking and un-muscular to fit the WWE 'future star' mold, too short and 'civilised' to play a monster. He was a street wise fish out of water in a world he never made. |

Go Shiozaki = too Asian
Takeshi Morishima = too fat
Manu = too Samoan
Anyone else we missed?

It's because they have enough samoans.

Because he sucked and thought he could make it on his papa's legacy alone.

I know that he didn't look like them, but I liked the fact that he broke up the monotony. They may as well be called Randy Orton and the RKO Players!!! Also, AWESOME Simpsons reference, my friend. I love police cops!!! |

I don't think Manu sucks. He'll be 25 on October 6th, and isn't too far along into his career. He just needs more time to develop his skills and some good people to work with. Like I stated before, I think pairing him with Umaga would be a good fit for the both of them at this point.
Vince holds Afa Sr. and his family in high regard for all the contributions he's made to the business over the years, and I'd say there's a certain member of Afa's family who is in Hollywood these days that Vince wants to keep on his good side.

He was too fat to pull t-shirt duty.

He got hit by the signature move. He would go down should Rey successfully pull off his finisher.

Manu wasn't Samoan enough not too Samoan. Umaga was way better if you want a Samoan brawler.

He was a very odd looking man. But I really don't think he was any worse than the bland twins.

He didn't fit. Right now, it's three very good-looking, very well-kept young men, and it just works for what they're trying for it to be.
I mean, it'd work better if Rhodes and DiBiase didn't look like utter schmucks all the time, and if they actually TALKED ABOUT how special and good-looking they are, but baby steps, y'know.
Still. That does not mean that Manu should have been fired. He didn't fit Legacy, but he would have worked great in another role.

He was way over...and the rest of legacy wasn't. So jealously was the cause.

He didn't fit at all
Rhodes/Orton/Dibiase: Cut muscular white guys
Manu: fat Samoan
Let's be real
