Wait, Peter Maivia's real name is "Anderson"? Damnit Rock, you're on the wrong family tree. Put up the one with Ole and CW and Brock. One of my favorite random stories ever is when either Arn or Ole was supposed to christen CW as an official Anderson at an indy show but they bailed after actually watching him

I was already sensing the turn at this point but a PowerPoint family tree absolutely nailed it.

So basically according to this chart, The Rock and Roman Reigns are cousins in the same way that I'm Hulk Hogan's brother?

Yeah, Rock is only considered part of the Anoa'i family because Peter Maivia was a blood brother (which was a very real thing and not some Game of Thrones-inspired fiction) of the Anoa'i patriarch Amituanai. He and his direct descendants were essentially adopted into the larger Anoa'i clan.

Ava: "Come on! Did you really have to put me on there? I just want this heat to stop." Wait. Wait, wait, wait. Wait. Solo's middle name is Yokozuna? Apparently Rikishi had fallen on bad financial times, couldn't pay the heating bill and Yokozuna gave him the money for it. He gave Solo that middle name in honor of Yoko. Then over a decade later, he gave up on then abandoned Solo. Great way of honoring your cousin.

Dwayne Wait so if I’m reading this right, then Roman and Rikishi are cousins, which would make the usos and solo his nephews?

The traditions of Samoa are drowned out online by frankly decades of racist shit and unsourced wrestling fandom but basically Peter Maivia was as part of the family as an adopted kid would be and so his offspring are also part of the family.

Right, and Jimmy Snuka and Haku/Meng are basically family friends for various reasons, but I don't think it was a blood brother situation with them. Still, Rock considers Tamina a cousin and Haku an uncle, and bought both of them cars during that period where he was treating a lot of family to favors like that. (Granted, he bought Harvey Whippleman/Downtown Bruno a car, too, but that was more just a "thanks for looking out for me when I was green" gift.)

The blood brother thing is legit. It’s a very real thing in Polynesia and among Native Americans(and likely other cultures as well). It has always bothered me when people say that the Rock isn’t really part of the dynasty.
The Samoan Periodic table was some funny shit though. Wish they could figure out a way to get Haku and the Barbarian in there too. 😂

What is the wording by Jimmy Snuka and Nia Jax's parent?

Because if it’s literally just pushing two wounds together it sounds like some little kid stuff. If that’s what it takes to be brothers then I guess that makes Swerve and Hangman Page brothers.

I do think treating Polynesian kinship as a wackadoo thing the Anoa'i family made up that doesn't count is a bit, rude, to say the least.

It's a very serious thing in their culture, it's not some silly wrestling angle. People treating it like "LOL how stupid is this" is a bit distasteful to me.
