Hopefully Umaga kicks the shit out of him.

They should give him a child molester gimmick, like something off of "To Catch a Predator". He just has that look to him.

I'll just echo what many others have said.
Manu looks like a cheap attempt at a "traditional" Samoan, stripped of all the stereotypical traits.
He doesn't look very intimidating, and considering his role in Legacy should/could be the "enforcer", that's quite an issue in my eyes. Not to mention he looks out of place in that Pretty Boys stable. In one line, Manu is neither fish nor fowl.
WWE already have Umaga as resident Samoan. Manu is juse meh compared to him, under every possible aspect.

Well, to me, the role of bodyguard/enforcer is one of the silliest in wrestling and should be scrappped. It never works. The whole concept of wrestling is people who are supposed to be tough and stuff, then they have some guy who folds his arms and stand behind them and everyone is supposed to be scared?

That's why it works, though. The heel is a dick, and you're meant to want him to pay for being one, but the enforcer prevents it. It's part of what Evolution so over, Batista and Orton would keep Triple H out of trouble, no matter how much of a douche he was being.

But it eventually just makes the person who is being ' protected' look weak.

He's like a more human form of Umaga...except boring This. One Umaga is enough. Plus there's only room for 1 Samoan in the Legacy, and that should be Sim Snuka ahead of Manu. At least Snuka's dad was a star, nobody gives a damn about Afa of the Wild Samoans.

That's a little unfair, given the Wild Samoans set the standard a lot of guys like Umaga wrestle by, but yeah, Snuka makes more sense as an enforcer, given his impactful moves and him being what seems like a foot taller, whether that's accurate or not. Manu is like Rhyno: a little short for the style of work he's doing, and it's a big part of why people don't accept them.

I don't hate him, but man is he boring. That match with Hardy last night seemed like it was going on forever.

Why all the hate for the Mild Samoan? Because the only people he is menacing to are old people which he robs and beats up.

I said it b4, WWE doesnt know what to do with 2 wild samons-IMO they kept umanga off tv to decide if they needed them both , but with umanga returnng and man-ooo losing his spot in legacy how does the future look for man-ooooo? back to FCW? jobbing on ECW to jack swagger? endevoured?

I don't love him, but I tolerate him. He definately has potential. I'm gonna wait and see how things go with him.

He was a poor man's Umaga from jump street. Sure he may be decent in the ring, but he just doesn't click. Plus the heavy breathing with Cody is a little creepy.

He's fat & boring.
He breathes heavy (this can be attributed to being overweight).
He has a soft head & wears boots (Samoan qualities those are not).
He's not the least bit intimidating.

To be honest, I don't think I've seen enough of him to make a proper judgement. They do seem to be jobbing him out a lot lately though.

Once manu spoke and sounded like Michael Jackson, I lost all interest. It's kinda hard to pass yourself off as intimidating when you speak like a 12 year old girl with a lisp.
