I laughed at how he just stuck out like a sore thumb. You have Orton, Ted and Cody who are tall, slim, good looking like models from a clothes catalogue or whatever. Then you have fat, slobbish Manu looking all greasy and shifty. I wouldn't go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem. What's the n***** gonna do? He's Samoan. Jules is the man.

Didn't he get caught trying to cheat a drug test using a fake penis and someone else's urine? That's what I'd always heard. I thought that was an Uso. Crazy Personally I thought the guy sucked and didn't bring anything at all to the table so maybe that's why ha

Vince prefers Aston Villa so as soon as the name was chosen it was over.

Vince prefers Aston Villa so as soon as the name was chosen it was over. ...and that right there saves me the effort of thinking up a Premiership football reference (for which I am thankful).

He's been an important piece to the Spur's success.

Dude just looked way...too...odd for Legacy. Resembled a roadie at Altamont compared to the Legacy's Rolling Stones.

I have a friend who works security for promotions here in New England, and he says Manu is an awesome guy now, taking time out to hang with kids at the show, and everyone likes him.

I can't remember anyone having as odd of a run as Manu did. Debuts and is part of a big angle and then is promptly released a few months later. Even his debut appearance where he helped Dibiase and Rhodes attack Cryme Tyme was odd. Like you would think with him being this new big guy that was debuting that they would maybe have him hit some high impact power moves and just lay waste to Cryme Tyme to make him look impressive. Instead he just kind of gave them a couple of weak strikes and then they just kind of fell out of the ring. For a surprise debut it was incredibly flat.
From the few in ring appearances he had I thought he looked fine. I remember him having a decent match with Batista on Raw during a period where Batista was kind of in a rough patch in ring wise and not having many good matches. However as mentioned before he didn't fit in at all with the clean cut trio of Dibiase, Rhodes, and Orton and also apparently had a bad attitude backstage (being a getaway driver in a bank robber strongly backs that). I think another factor in him being turfed was the fact that 2 of the 3 members of the group he was in didn't even like him. Orton didn't like him and he apparently didn't get along with Rhodes who it seems like has a pretty clean rep as not much backstage drama has ever been reported about him in the eight years he's been in the company. If you can't get along with the guys you're working with chances are you're not going to be for long as it's most likely going to lead to you getting put in a different role or just kicked to the curb all together.

He's been an important piece to the Spur's success. At least Ginobli can bump better. Dude doesn't even get touched and he convinces the refs it was an offensive foul. In terms of the Mysterious Vicious Stranger as Michael Cole first announced him as...yeah he sucked. You have Umaga who was killing it as a crazy Samoan and then you bring in this watered down version who looks a lot like him and you slap a pair of boots on him for no reason. Oh and the heavy breathing thing was one of the most unintentionally hilarious things ever.
