They show a clip of Flair vs Steamboat and then Flair jobs to Umaga? That's not fair to Flair. A Cuban managing a Pacific savage... And that's going to change the face of WWE? This one has wrestlecrap written all over it. I too am having a hard time wrapping my mind around this one. What the hell does a Cubano want with a Pacific Savage? How did these two, with NOTHING IN COMMON, hook up? Oh and by the way: Way to set race relations (and stereotypes) back 20 years, WWE. That Vince sure is a genious, eh?

IMO if he had brought out 2 Samoan Mad Men, i don't think we'd have a problem

Umaga v. Cena
There, I have figured out a way to sell out Ford Field for WM23
WWE should really hire me as a creative consultant

actually.....it was one of Paul Heyman's idea. The idea he was actually most proud of in OVW.

I watched the tape replay I have of RAW and I am starting to understand what the Cuban said better. But I think I heard Flair say something like ' Go jump back to your island ' or something like that.. am I dreaming this or did you guys hear Flair say it as well?

whatever...at least there´s 2 new gimmicks, new mid-/undercarders
the only thing that really annoys me is that EVERY newcomer in the past 2 years (except Lashley) starts as a heel dammit

Can just picture the Creative meeting:
"So Jamal. The plan is that you're going to be a coconut to a Cuban Kid Creole type"
"Okay.... I believe 1986 has called wondering if they can have their gimmick back. But go on"
"You'll come out to the ring as a savage Islander type..."
"Right..."
"And you'll need to get your nose pierced..."
"Hmmmm, the fellows at the book club might have something to say about that, but okay"
"And your face tatooed..."
"Erm, not sure about that. I mean, at some point I would like to have a life outside sports entertainment. Getting a full on all over facial tat is going to impinge on the real world isn't it?"
"I have no idea what impinge means. But that's okay, once this gimmick takes off you'll be the biggest thing in the business. You'll change the face of the WWE. We're using that line as part of your gimmick"
"Hmmmm. Still not sure. But I'll give it a try"
Jamal leaves the room.
Creative guy gets on the intercom.
"Sandra, do you have a fax number for RD Reynolds or Blade Braxton? I believe they're writing a new book..."

Sometimes I watch wrestling and pretend something never happened. This would be one of them. You know where Umaga is gonna end up?? Drafted to Smackdown and some how killed by the Undertaker and we'll never speak of Umaga again.

Are his tattoos real? Because they look bad ass and I know that it is common among Maoris and Samoans. Peter Maivia had his body tattood as well.
But euhm, those tats are the only cool thing. Why does he have to be a savage? Why can't he be just bad ass Samoan wrestler with bad ass tattoos?

Frankly, I can't wait to see-Vi Afi #2. I mark for Samoan savage-style wrestlers.

They tried that with 3MW....decided it didn't work, and now we have Umaga. Although I'd mark for a WWE version of Samoa Joe, which would have been better than Kamala/KimChee 2006
